My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 355 Jacob was Poisoned

Amy couldn't believe that Allison would invite her to get for a cup of tea, particularly in the Cathy's tea house. Allison was a troublemaker, who was up to no good.

"Amy, do you fear to come?" asked Allison in an attractive voice.

"I am indeed afraid to go because I'm not used to staying with a shameless person," said Amy, pretending to be fearful.

"Ha ha, I like nothing of you but your straightforwardness. Alright, see you, tomorrow," said Allison without giving any specific details of what she would say tomorrow. Amy didn't know what Allison planned to do but at least she couldn't harm her in Cathy's tea house.

Amy agreed. She just played it by ear tomorrow.

"Amy, are you going to see Allison tomorrow?" asked Richard.

"Yes. She says she wants to catch up with me and there are some misunderstandings to be dealt with." Amy explained it to him briefly.

"You don't have to see her. We should be careful of that woman. Since she always has people to blame, it's annoying that we can't replace any evidence showing she is to blame and get her punished," said Richard. After hearing Amy's words, he refused to allow her to go to see Allison.

"That's fine. I can protect myself. I want to know what she will say," said Amy. Since she never interacted with her face to face, she wanted to see how cunning she was.

"Let Otto accompany you or you are not allowed to go," Richard ordered. He worried that she would be in danger if she went alone.

"Alright, I'll go with him," said Amy. She didn't know the appointment with Allison would harm several people.

Amy and Richard didn't say anything the whole night. Soon, it was tomorrow morning. It was cloudy and chill probably because the autumn began. Amy put on a thin coat.

Otto was ready to go. He was dressed all in black. He seldom stayed with Amy so he was very excited today. It was the first time he had an important task to perform since he came to the Newell Group. Amy took Otto to the tea house of Cathy, the appointed place. It was the appointed time but Allison had arrived yet.

Amy greeted Cathy and intended to leave. However, someone gave her a package at this moment.

"Let me open it," said Otto and took the package.

"Don't open it now. Wait for a second. I'll call Allison first," said Amy. She thought there was something wrong with it so she prevented him from opening it and intended to call Allison.

"I'm so sorry to have you wait for me. There is heavy traffic on the way and I am so anxious. Let's get in," said Allison. She wore a pink cheongsam, which highlighted her fine figure. Surprisingly, the one who followed her was Jacob.

"Jacob?" Amy saw Jacob and greeted him.

Jacob answered her with an embarrassed smile. He hadn't leave Allison since the day he found her. He knew his behaviour annoyed Allison.

"Oh, this is my boyfriend. You are familiar with each other so I won't make introductions," said Allison. Her fingernails were polished scarlet. She pulled Jacob close to her. Then they went into the VIP room. Allison sat down and made a cup of tea for everyone.

"This cup looks more beautiful. Amy, you can use this one," said Allison. She discovered that Jacob's cup was prettier than Amy's so she exchanged their cups.

"You don't have to do that. This one is fine," said Amy. Then she returned Jacob's cup to him.

Allison looked at it coldly and said nothing. Then she held up her cup and toasted to Amy.

"I intended to invite you to have dinner together but I was afraid that you wouldn't agree so I choose this tea house. We have been friends for years and there are many misunderstandings between us. I know that I have done something wrong but now I am aware of my mistakes. I hope we can bury the hatchet. Let me toast to you by tea," said Allison. Then she took a sip of her tea but Amy did nothing but watched her performance.

"Amy, I know you won't forgive me but I have realized my fault," said Allison. Then she burst into tears sadly.

"Amy, can't you just forgive her? She told me that she has done a lot of bad things to you so she wants to replace an opportunity to make it up to you. That's why we invite you here. Besides, we are going to get married. Let me toast to you. I would be very appreciated if you can take part in our wedding," said Jacob. He comforted Allison, took the cup before him and drank all of it.

"Amy, I feel so regretful for what I have done to you," said Allison. She became very excited and began to grasp Amy's hands.

Allison succeeded in grasping unsuspecting Amy immediately. But Amy broke free quickly. It made her disgusted to be touched by a ruthless and merciless person. "Sorry, I have to go to the bathroom to freshen up," said Allison. Amy shook off her hands so she felt embarrassed and went to the bathroom to freshen up. "Amy, could you pass me that teapot," said Jacob. She didn't know why the teapot was beside her. Jacob finished the tea in his cup and felt a little thirsty now. Amy took a glance at the teapot, lifted it up and refilled his cup.

Jacob took another sip of tea because he felt very thirsty.

After finishing that cup of tea, his stomach began aching.

"My stomach is aching," yelled Jacob. He intended to bear the pain but the sweat kept oozing from his head and his stomach churned as if it was stirred by a knife. "Send him to the hospital now!" said Amy to Otto.

At this moment, Allison came from the outside. At the sight of Jacob's painful look, she looked as if she had succeeded in doing something immoral.

"What happened to you, Jacob? Don't scare me like that," cried Amy. She had cried for many times today.

"I'm OK. My stomach is a little aching. Maybe I have eaten something unclean," said Jacob. He was in great pain and began frothing.

"Oh, no. He begins frothing. Send him to hospital now," yelled Amy. Seeing his grey look, she asked people to send him to hospital immediately.

"Wait for a second. I'll call the police," said Allison. Then she took out her phone unhurriedly.
