Chapter 241: Chapter 241: Roman Wanted To Kill Her

"You! Don’t you feel even a little sorry for me? Can’t you help me when I’m like this?" Roman shouted as he pushed himself up.

He stared straight at her, and for a moment, he looked a little frightening.

"Didn’t you cut all ties with me six years ago when I needed you most?" Chantelle replied coldly.

She used to wonder if Roman was really her father. But after seeing how he treated Kate, she knew the truth.

He was selfish. He only cared about himself. It didn’t matter to him whether someone was his real daughter or not.

"You’re a bitch! I’ll kill you!" Roman shouted, showing his true colors at last. He suddenly lunged at her and raised his hand to slap her.

Ashton was the closest to Roman. Without thinking, he stepped in front of Chantelle to block him.

"Move!" Chantelle shouted as she shoved Ashton aside.

Roman’s hand came dangerously close to Ashton’s face. Missing the slap only made him angrier.

With rage in his eyes, he charged at Chantelle again.

Chantelle kept her eyes on him and was prepared to fight back. But before she could move, someone blocked in front of her.

In the next second, Roman was kicked hard and thrown backward.

Then, a familiar hand gently wrapped around Chantelle’s waist.

Chantelle turned and looked at Daniel’s sharp jawline. Then she pinched his arm. "Mr. Wilson, aren’t you super busy? Why are you here?"

She still remembered how his crazy admirer made her faint. Daniel had been avoiding her since then, and just thinking about it made her angry.

Daniel was baffled when he heard her words. He let go of her, turned around, and walked away without a word.

Chantelle stared at him, confused by his weird reaction.

Sir, seriously? Stop walking away! Ashton panicked and kept throwing Daniel meaningful glances. But Daniel ignored him. He was following the doctor’s advice and refused to look back.

He walked away quickly.

To anyone watching, it looked like Chantelle was some kind of monster chasing him away.

"Daniel Wilson, you bastard!" Chantelle yelled, unable to hold back her anger.

Daniel turned around with a worried look.

After seeing that she wasn’t having a relapse, he got into the car without saying a word.

Good thing I walked quickly. If I stayed any longer, I might’ve triggered Chantelle’s condition again, Daniel thought to himself.

"Mrs. Wilson, Sir didn’t mean it like that. He’s just..." Ashton started to explain when he saw how upset she looked.

Chantelle waved her hand to dismiss him. "Let him be! Who spoiled him and made him act like this anyway?"

"Ms. Chantelle, Mr. Bently had a poisoned blade in his hand," Calvin said. He had noticed something strange the moment she pushed Ashton aside.

After Daniel kicked Roman, he quickly told the bodyguards to hold him down.

Chantelle’s face darkened as she looked at the blade. The green liquid on it made her stomach turn.

She felt both angry and disgusted. Roman hadn’t just lost his mind but he wanted to kill her.

So this was his real plan? He tricked me into coming here just to kill me? Or poison me slowly and watch me suffer?

"Take it for testing," Chantelle said coldly.

She handed the blade to Calvin, but Ashton quickly grabbed it first. With a grin, he said, "I’ll do it. I run fast."

Chantelle didn’t bother to argue. She turned her eyes to Roman, who looked completely defeated.

"Tell me. Who made you do this?" Chantelle asked as she walked up to him.

She then looked directly into his eyes with hatred written on her face.

"You bitch! I should’ve drowned you the moment you were born! All of you are ungrateful! I raised you, and this is how you repay me!" Roman screamed like a madman. His eyes were gleaming with hatred as he shouted at Chantelle.

Chantelle slowly stepped back. "Since you won’t talk, I’ll have to make you," she said coldly.

Calvin swiftly moved forward and stomped hard on Roman’s prosthetic leg. A loud crack followed.

"A-Ah! Chantelle, you should rot in hell!" Roman cried out in pain, shaking all over, but still refused to speak.

Calvin was good at forcing people to confess. He was about to take it further when Chantelle spoke again.

"Uncle Kingsley has been loyal to you for years. I’m sure he won’t mind taking the pain for you."

Chantelle gave Calvin a signal.

Calvin instantly stomped on Kingsley’s chest. Kingsley choked and spit out a mouthful of blood right away.

But the blood was dark, which clearly showed he had been poisoned.

"Chantelle, stop! Kingsley didn’t do anything to you. Don’t hurt him!" Roman finally panicked. He had done all of this just to save Kingsley, and he couldn’t let her kill him.

"Are you ready to talk now?" Chantelle asked. At the same time, she signaled Russell to check on Kingsley.

Russell examined him and said, "He’s been poisoned for days. If we don’t treat him today, it’ll be too late."

"I’ll tell you everything!" Roman shouted. "It was Ruby! She came to me not long ago, tricked me out of all my money, and even had someone beat me up. If Kingsley hadn’t helped me, I’d be dead by now."

Roman went on, "She hates you for being with Daniel. She also blames you for Kate going missing. So she poisoned Kingsley to force me into using the blade on your face."l

Ruby and her daughter clearly hadn’t learned their lesson. They were as nasty as ever.

"Call Ruby. Tell her you did what she asked," Chantelle said as she threw him a phone.

Roman shook his head. "I don’t have her number. She doesn’t let me contact her. She only calls me when she wants something."

"Mrs. Wilson," Ashton said, walking over. "We tested the poison on the blade. It’s a corrosive type. It would slowly eat through skin and flesh."

"At first, people who are poisoned don’t feel anything," Ashton explained. "But after a day or two, the pain starts around the wound."

"They wouldn’t even know they were poisoned," he added. "Then, the poison slowly eats away at them. It spreads through their body. Some parts may rot and smell bad, and pus could leak from the wounds."

Chantelle clenched her fists. Ruby is really evil.

"This isn’t a common poison, is it?" she asked.

Chantelle felt a chill run down her spine after hearing the details, but she kept a straight face and maintained her composure.

"It’s a banned drug from Tanaxes. You rarely see it in our country," Ashton explained. "Sir already sent people to investigate it." He made sure to give Daniel the credit.

"Take Kingsley back and treat him," Chantelle ordered.

Chantelle frowned and marched toward the Maybach with a sharp, angry stride.
