Talented Heiress: A Rose With Thorns



Chapter 540 "What!"

The color drained from everyone's faces. Even though it was shocking to them, they instinctually trusted Yvette's words.

"But Yvie, we drink water from the dispenser every day... There's never been a problem with it

Yvette's face was taut, her gaze chilly. "Have you thought of the possibility that the poison was only added today?"

Eustace had immersed her in an environment full of medicines since young, which made her incredibly sensitive to medicines and poisons. If not for that, it was possible that not even she would've noticed there was poison in the water!

It just showed how terrifying this poison was.

"How could this be... Who exactly would've poisoned the water?"

"That's right, Jubilife University's security is really strict-Argh... my stomach is hurting..."

Madison, who had been speaking perfectly fine up until now, suddenly went pale. She clutched her stomach and started crying out in pain.

Yvette immediately walked toward her. She grabbed Madison's wrist and took her pulse.

However, her expression only became more and more severe. She was sure this kind of poison was highly toxic and had never before appeared in Croedal. So, how could it have shown up in the country now?

While Yvette was thinking, the other students in class slowly turned pale as well. One after another, they clutched their stomachs and started howling in pain.

Yvette could only set aside her thoughts for now. She pulled out her needle bag and began to perform acupuncture on her classmates.

All she could do for them was temporarily suppress the poison so that their lives weren't in immediate danger. She'd analyze the poison afterward. Alice, who was watching, bit her lip in hatred. Internally, she was cursing non-stop.

Damn it! Why didn't that bitch Yvette drink it? It had been so close. Her plan had been so close to succeeding!NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Lionel had said this kind of poison was tasteless, odorless, and highly toxic. The poison wouldn't kill immediately; instead, it would cause the poisoned target to suffer immensely.

He had also claimed that there was no way it would be detected, so why had Yvette still

noticed?

No matter how unwilling she was to accept the outcome, she had to get going. She knew that if she stayed any longer, the incident would be traced back to her very quickly.

She had already purchased plane tickets out of the country in advance. Whether or not the plan succeeded, as long as she left Croedal, Yvette wouldn't be able to do anything to her!

"Yvie, Alice has run away... It must be her... it must be her who poisoned the water!"

By this point, Madison was already delirious from pain. But seeing Alice running off in a hurry, she pushed through the pain and spoke up weakly “We can't let her get away just like this... We have to catch her..."

Yvette's beautiful, fox-like eyes gleamed with a cold light.

"Don't worry, she won't get away," she said softly to comfort Madison before continuing to perform acupuncture on her classmates to suppress the poison.

An entire class of students had been poisoned. Such a situation was extremely serious and thus immediately received the full attention of the school faculty.

Matt was also quick to rush Jacob over.

"How are they doing, Yvie?" he asked, anxiety written all over his face.

Performing acupuncture was something that expended a great deal of energy and effort. It was all the more exhausting for Yvette, who had just performed acupuncture on an entire classroom in one go.

She looked very pale.

"I've helped suppress the spread of the poison in their bodies, so their lives shouldn't be in immediate danger. Don't worry, Mr. Rusell. I'll definitely cure them of the poison."

Matt sighed in relief at her words. “Thank goodness we have you, Yvie. I'm so grateful to you!"

As the chancellor of Jubilife University, he had a responsibility toward the students. If such a major incident occurred under his watch, he'd hardly be able to avoid the blame!

"First, send them to the hospital to receive care," said Yvette, methodically giving out

instructions. "Even though I've suppressed the poison in their bodies, they're still incredibly weak right now."
