CHAPTER 041 OLIVIA'S POV Wait ! Why was I suddenly feeling like a villain ? Because this is what villains do . I should probably abort the plan and leave everything in peace . ... Nah . That's what I would have done if she didn't make me lose my child . Some people . might think I'm acting like a villainess , but this is just a small tip compared to what she did . So , now I wait and watch . Should I add this to his food too ? It would be nice to see Adrian jump around like an idiot . I didn't even realize that I was smiling . But then , he might think it's from the head chef , and that could get her fired . I'll just stick to Dora . She's the main target anyway . Just as I finished , I heard footsteps coming downstairs , and I knew that was them . I quickly went into the kitchen for a few seconds and came out , acting as naturally as possible . Hopefully , they wouldn't suspect anything . Now it was time for the psychology game . As Adrian took his seat , I walked over to one where I had added the pepper . the closest chair to him on the right side - the Just as I was about to sit , I heard Dora's voice . " Don't even think about it . That's my place ." Yes ! It worked . " Oh , sorry about that , " I said sweetly , forcing a polite smile . " Please , have a seat . " I could feel Adrian's eyes on me . He was probably wondering when I had ever been so polite to Dora . But he was about to find out . I gently pulled the chair out for her before moving to the left side and sitting down . My little gamble worked . She fell for it like an idiot . " You're eating in the dining room today ? " Adrian asked . Ever since he forcefully brought me back here , I had always eaten in my room . But today was a special occasion - I wanted to see this close - up . " Well , you have a visitor , so I made an exception , " I replied , keeping my tone casual . Adrian raised an eyebrow , clearly sensing something was off . " Is that so ? " " Tch . " Dora clicked her tongue in endayagun but ignored her and flashed her a smile Successfully unlocked ! instead . We all picked up our utensils . The show was about to begin . I watched as Dora took a bite from the curry soup . Then another spoonful . Then she 1/3 CHAPTER 041 cleared her throat . The spice was slowly kicking in . She took a couple more spoonfuls before the signs started showing . Her face turned red , and beads of sweat formed on her forehead . " Is something wrong ? " Adrian asked , noticing her discomfort . " Just feeling a little hot , " Dora replied , fanning herself with her hand . Feeling a little hot ? Even with the AC cooling the entire room ? Very funny . " Whoa . " She exhaled sharply , shifting uncomfortably in her seat . I glanced at my phone . The full power of the pepper should kick in exactly sevent minutes after consumption . Three ... two ... one- " Water ! I need water ! " Dora suddenly jumped to her feet , screaming at the maids . " What's wrong ? " Adrian asked , his brows furrowing in concern . " My mouth ... it's on fire ! " she gasped , waving frantically at her tongue as if that would help . " Get some milk immediately , " Adrian ordered one of the maids , who rushed off to the kitchen . Nothing was better than this . " Oh dear , " I said in my best innocent tone . " What might seem to be the problem ? " The maid quickly returned , holding a gallon of milk . Ugh . Why did she have to be so efficient ? She just had to ruin the fun . I folded my arms and leaned back against my chair , watching as Dora practically attacked the milk jug like a wild animal . Milk spilled all over her expensive dress and onto the floor . She chugged the milk desperately , her breathing ragged . By the time she finally stopped to catch her breath , she had almost finished the entire gallon . Adrian turned towards the maids standing nearby . " Who did this ? " The chef came out of the kitchen hesitantly , looking nervous . I immediately saw the look in Dora's eyes - she wasn't going to let this go . And worse , she wasn't going to give the chef a chance to explain . I needed to act fast . I stood up from my chair just as Dora stomped toward the chef , rage burning in her expression . She raised her hand , ready to slap the poor woman across the face . But I wasn't about to let that happen . I caught Dora's wrist in mid - air , gripping it tightly before she could make contact . 2/3 CHAPTER1 " That's enough , " I said firmly , staring her down . She turned her head towards me and said " Let go of my hand now . " " There's no need for you to hit anyone , she had nothing to do with this , " I said letting go of her hand . " Then who did . " Adiran's voice came from behind me . I cleared my throat and then replied , " I did . " My voice was barely above a whisper . I saw a wicked smile appear on Dora's face , " I should have known this was your doing . " She said Adrian let out a sigh , then said . " Why did you add spices to her food . " " Well initially I was meant to take that food but you saw the way she claimed that spot , and I didn't want to argue with her so I just gave it to her ," I said . I Yes indeed I had a backup plan , I eventually knew Adrian was going to find out that it was me , and like Julian said on the phone I should avoid getting on his bad side , even though I enjoyed doing so , so I came up with this . Adrian crossed his arms , I could see the clear disbelief on his face . " When did you suddenly - like spicy dishes . " Oh so now he knew the dishes I liked ? " And when did you know I had no interest in it ? Last I checked you never even cared " I said to him Subscribed
