Lucy Herbert could only hope that the men sent by Norton Herbert would not discover the poison she had hidden, otherwise she would be really finished.

Lucy Herbert waited anxiously, praying in her heart that she would not be discovered, but at the same time she had to maintain her expression so as not to let Norton Herbert notice anything unusual.

But she didn't know that Norton Herbert had already noticed all her expressions and was convinced that she was indeed involved in this matter. There was no way around it.

After a while, the men who were sent to search came back. Although the process was not slow, for Lucy Herbert, every moment was torturous and long.

"Master." A subordinate stepped forward and respectfully handed the things he had found in Lucy Herbert's room to Norton Herbert.

Norton Herbert took the small package wrapped in paper with a cold face, and did not forget to look up to see how embarrassed Lucy Herbert looked.

At this moment, Lucy Herbert's face looked very bad indeed. All her things had been searched out, and her face couldn't look any better.

Norton Herbert took a look but could not see anything. He did not know whether the powder was the same poison that had poisoned his wife, so he handed it to Alfred Tobias beside him and asked him to see if it was the same poison that had poisoned Mary Congreve.

Alfred Tobias opened it and looked at the powdery substance inside. After observing it for a while, he showed it to Jiang Zhi.

After getting Jiang Zhi's confirmed answer, Alfred Tobias said to Norton Herbert: "Mr. Norton, this is indeed the poison your wife was poisoned with."

Suddenly, Norton Herbert looked at Lucy Herbert with eyes as fierce as a knife.

Cuts were made on Lucy Herbert's body.

"Do you have anything else to say?" Norton Herbert asked her coldly.

"I...Brother, please believe me, it really wasn't me..." Lucy Herbert looked flustered, and then quickly looked at the maid kneeling on the ground: "Did you do it? Why did you frame me! Or who sent you to frame me? Tell me!"

"Miss Lucy." The maid's body trembled in fear. "I didn't frame you. You were the one who asked me to poison the lady. The master already knows about it. Don't pretend anymore."

"It was a week ago when I went to your room to bring you food. You called me in and asked me to poison your wife. You also said that after the deed was done, I would be guaranteed to leave unscathed and give me 20 million. If I didn't agree, you would make me and my family disappear in Continent M."

"You're talking nonsense!" Lucy Herbert shouted at the maid in desperation, and then she went forward and started to wrestle with her.

"I didn't ask you to poison me, you are just talking nonsense and trying to slander me! You are a lowly person! You should die!"

The maid was no longer afraid of her threats at this time. Anyway, Norton Herbert had promised not to harm her family, and there would be no chance of improvement for her. She had already exposed everything Lucy Herbert had done, which was equivalent to breaking off relations with her.

At this time, the maid also started to fight with Lucy Herbert.

The maid usually did rough labor. She had grown up in a poor family and had done a lot of work. But although Lucy Herbert had been pampered since childhood, she had also learned riding and archery since childhood. Now, for a moment, it was hard to tell who was better.

You pulled my clothes and I pulled your hair, and we went back and forth like a fight between shrews.

Norton Herbert had no intention of stopping them. He just watched them fight with great interest.

Only after the two men had been fighting for several minutes did Norton Herbert signal his men to separate them.

The two men were now in a very disheveled state, their clothes were torn, their hair was a mess, and there were scratches and pinch marks of varying sizes on their bodies left by the other party.

When Lucy Herbert was pulled away, she immediately looked at Norton Herbert: "Brother, it's really not me who wants to poison my sister-in-law, it's this damn bitch who wants to slander me! Brother, we grew up together, how could I harm your wife? You have to believe me."

"Although there is no surveillance in the rooms of the villa, there is surveillance in the corridors," Norton Herbert said calmly, "Do you need me to check whether you let her enter your room for a period of time during the confinement?"

After all, Lucy Herbert was a young lady with a bad temper and always looked down on others. How could she call a servant into her room for no reason?

She simply looked down on those people of humble origins from the bottom of her heart, but she forgot that her own origin was not much better. She was just an orphan picked up by Norton Herbert, and everything she had now was not supposed to be hers.

How could she be where she is now if it weren't for Norton Herbert? But she wanted to repay his kindness with hatred and harm his wife.

"Why did you want to harm my wife?" Norton Herbert asked coldly, "We grew up together. You are my sister and she is your sister-in-law. Why did you poison her?"

"I...I..." Lucy Herbert knew that there was no way out of this matter, and she was a little incoherent.

If she still doesn't admit it now, Norton Herbert will really check the surveillance. Then he will definitely know that he had called the maid into his room for a while one day.

Lucy Herbert usually wouldn't let servants into her room, except to clean the room. If it was normal times, she could get away with it, but now was the critical moment when Mary Congreve was poisoned for the second time, and no matter how she explained it, it would be ridiculous.

Even if she doesn't admit it now, Norton Herbert will find out the truth sooner or later. And now Norton Herbert has confirmed that it was she who poisoned Mary Congreve, so she won't be able to escape then.

"Brother, have you forgotten when we were little? We had such a good relationship when we were little, but it was because of her appearance that you only saw her and even distanced yourself from me, your sister..."

"Oh." Norton Herbert sneered, "Don't forget, you and I are not related by blood. Everything you have is given by me. I can take away everything from you. She has never threatened your position here. She has never fought for you and has always treated you like her own sister. How dare you harm her!?"

"But her appearance has disrupted my life, and you have become indifferent to me, your sister." Lucy Herbert shouted, "If it weren't for her, I would be the most distinguished woman in the entire manor, but with her here, she is the mistress of the manor, and I am just the eldest lady of the manor!"

"She took everything from me! I hate her, so I chose to poison her. She deserves it all! She deserves it!!"
