Second Chances Protecting Mrs. Hall by Colby Stanford
Chapter 135

Chapter 135

Fred said, “Who would poison the Reverend?”

At this moment, a young girl barged in from the door.

The girl’s voice was crisp and domineering. “I was wondering why he couldn’t be treated. It turns out that he is poisoned! Serves him right!”

The girl who spoke was wearing a black motorcycle–styled outfit. Her hairstyle was rather bold. She had black bangs, long black hair, His facial features were very delicate, and her eyes revealed a sharpness. It was obvious that she was very willful.

Fred frowned. “Christine, don’t talk nonsense!”

The girl was furious. Then, she said to Emma, “Aren’t abbots supposed to not have any mortal desires? Then he should be able to accept death peacefully. Since he is so sick, just let him die. Let me tell you! You can’t cure such a bad person who abandoned his family! If you dare to treat him, I’ll teach you a lesson!”

As the little girl spoke, she even raised her fist at Emma and bared her teeth.

“Christine, get out!” Fred said angrily.

The little girl left.

Emma looked at her back and complained, “Where did this kid come from? She is so rude.”

Fred was a little embarrassed. “She’s Reverend Hart’s biological granddaughter.”

“Granddaughter?” Emma was very surprised to hear that. “I thought Reverend Hart is single.”

Liam explained, “Otis became a abbot and had a divorce a few years ago. Before that, he had a granddaughter who he loved very much.”

Fred also nodded and said, “That’s right. Miss Christine Hart is 16 years old this year. Before Reverend Hart became a abbot, he doted on her very much. Reverend’s divorce caused Miss Christine a lot of harm. Before Reverend fell jll, he had many disputes with Miss Christine. That’s why she was like this just now. Miss Wilson, please don’t mind her.”

When Emma heard Fred say that Otis had many disputes with Christine, she frowned.

Emma asked, “Other than her, was there anyone else who could get close to Otis recently?”

Fred said, “Nope.”

Emma’s heart sank. She thought, ‘Could it be that the person who poisoned Otis was Christine?‘

However, without evidence, she couldn’t casually suspect others.

Hence, Emma said, “In’short, from today onwards, I will personally check everything Reverend Hart eats and drinks. I will stay in his room tonight.”

After all, Otis was Liam’s grandfather’s old friend.

Simon offered 1 million dollars for Emma to treat Otis.

Although sometimes, 1 million dollars was not enough to hire her to see a patient, she had to do a good job since she had taken the money.

Moreover, she was also very curious to replace out who would attack such a kind person.

As soon as Emma finished speaking, Liam said firmly, “I’ll accompany you.”

Emma looked at him and nodded solemnly. “Okay!”

The night arrived. In the room of abbot.

Emma had roughly guessed what poison was used.

If she was not wrong, this slow–acting poison had to be inserted every day.

Today, under her supervision, no one had the chance to poison Otis during the day.

Therefore, she speculated that the person who poisoned him would definitely come tonight.

Late at night, Liam was worried that Emma would be tired. “Emma, you should rest first. I’ll guard this place for

you.”

Emma held Liam’s hand gently. “It’s okay. I’m not tired with you by my side.”

At this moment, Levi called Liam to report work.

In order not to disturb Otis, Liam patted her head. “I’ll go out and take this call first.”

Emma said, “Okay, go ahead.”

The wooden door opened and closed. After Liam left, Emma guarded the room alone.

Fortunately, she had taken a break previously.

Otherwise, she would not be able to hold on for long.

Chapter 135

Emma stood up and stretched.

Suddenly, a person jumped in from outside the window.

Almost instinctively alert, Emma stood up instantly. “Who is it!”

Her reaction was so fast. Otherwise, the dagger that was flashing with a cold light would have already cut her

artery.

The other party was actually aiming for her life.

Emma’s face was cold. It was obvious that she had infuriated the mastermind when she revealed the truth that

Otis was poisoned.

However, now that the person had missed, they wanted to jump out of the window and escape.

“Stop right there!” Emma grabbed the person’s neck.

The other party gritted their teeth and pretended to stab Emma with the blade.

Emma changed hands and grabbed that person’s clothes. “You can’t get away.”

“You think so?” The person had used a voice changer, so it was impossible to tell if the person was male or female.

“What if I kill him?” As soon as the person finished speaking, they threw an unknown object at Otis.

Emma was worried that something would happen to Otis. She immediately turned around and picked up the

black bead.

However, this allowed that person to escape.

“Liam!” Emma called Liam outside the door.

Liam heard the commotion in the house and wanted to chase after the person. At this moment, Emma rushed out

of the door.

The moment Emma opened the door, a person in black hiding at the door placed a knife across her neck.

Emma looked down at the person’s hand holding the knife.

It looked fierce, but it was actually trembling slightly.

The person said, “Don’t move!”

She smiled coldly. “Do you want to kill me?”

Chapter 135

That person gritted their teeth.

They held the prop tightly and said stubbornly to Liam, “Let me go, or I’ll kill your girlfriend!”

Of course, Liam could tell that this person’s skills were actually very ordinary.

Even if he did not let the person go, they would not be able to kill Emma.

However, he received Emma’s gaze. Emma wanted him to let the person go.

Hence, Liam said, “Let go of her and I’ll let you go.”

The person’s eyes darkened. After confirming that Liam was not lying, they jumped and left Emma behind.

Although Emma was temporarily hijacked, she was unharmed.

Her expression did not change as she watched the person in black run away. Her beautiful eyes narrowed in

disdain.

Before she chased after the person, she had specially left a special powder on herself.

As long as others came into contact with it, the powder would stain the other party’s body.

This was something she had specially made.

It was colorless, odorless, and could not be washed away.

Only with the special potion she concocted could it be eradicated.

“At night, the church is sealed. No one is allowed to enter. So, this person is from the church.” Emma glanced at Liam. “I just need to use my UV pen tomorrow to know who poisoned Otis.”

The next day, Emma instructed all the staff members to gather in the courtyard and announced that she had already caught the culprit who poisoned Otis.

When everyone heard that there was a mole within their staff team, they were all shocked.

Someone said, “The abbot was maliciously poisoned!”

A person said, “Who could be so ruthless?”

Someone else said, “Don’t let me replace out about that murdererl Otherwise, I won’t let them off easily!”

In the courtyard of the St. Grace Church, everyone spoke indignantly.

Emma held a special ultraviolet light pen.

Chapter 135

Everyone in the church stood in a row, ready to be exposed to her light.

The oldest staff member, Fred, stood on the steps with a dark expression. “Everyone, stand in a row.”

Everyone stood obediently.

Emma took out a UV pen and turned it on. As she held the cold purple beam of light, she was ready to scan.
