NovelBook“Damn it, Jewel! What the hell have you done? Didn't you say the coffee cup was well-kept aside, and there would be enough evidence to find Aurelia guilty? But now the coffee cup also got washed clean? Where can | find the evidence? You idiot, you're trying to double-cross me, aren't you?” Megan thought inwardly.
Aurelia spoke with a grave tone, "Mr. James, what's crucial right now is catching the hypnotist who's done this to me. She might still be on the ship." James nodded. "You're right, ma'am. The hypnotist is the mastermind behind it, the key to cracking this case." Megan was fuming on the inside. She would tear Jewel apart when she got back.
"Mr. James, | need you to look into this coffee situation. Someone must have poisoned my husband, and | expect you to catch the culprit before this cruise is over." "The culprit won't get away with this. If | saw her again, I'm sure | could recognize her," Aurelia confidently said as she got up and walked out.
Tanya and Megan followed her out.

"Aurelia, aren't you upset about Leopold's accident?" Tanya asked with concern.
Aurelia shrugged nonchalantly. "I spoke to the doctor. He's not in any life-threatening condition. He'll leave the hospital after a few days of rest." Megan eyed her suspiciously, seriously doubting her words. She knew what poison Leopold had been hit with. It would be a miracle if he survived.
"Are you sure he's going to be alright?" Aurelia glared at her with a cold and piercing gaze. "You look disappointed. Are you hoping that he'll die?" Megan glared back fiercely. "Don't spout nonsense. He's my husband and the father of my child. How could | possibly wish harm upon him?" Aurelia let out a scornful laugh. "He won't be your husband for much longer." Her words hit Megan like a sledgehammer, sending her head spinning.
If Leopold's fate was doomed, Megan swore she would make this wretch Aurelia perish with him, making them lovers of death.
But then she dropped the idea. Why should she get them back together? She even wouldn't allow them to be a couple in the underworld. She would demand that even the King of Hell keep them apart for all eternity.
"I won't be getting a divorce from Leopold, and no one can take my place." The boss would clear all the obstacles for her, ensuring her child would be Leopold's sole heir.
Aurelia sneered, "What goes around comes around. Evil schemers will get their just desserts." With that, she strode forward, signaling that a reckoning was near.
Megan gritted her teeth, wishing her fierce gaze could pierce Aurelia through the heart like an arrow.

Tanya patted her shoulder. "You were too impulsive this time. | thought you had solid evidence. Now you've startled the snake in the grass. Even if it was her doing, she'll find a way to destroy all evidence." "It was her. There was no hypnosis. She just wants to escape the crime," Megan said in anger.
"The cops will figure it out," Tanya replied with chilling determination flashing in her eyes.
Back in her room, Megan found Jewel lounging on the couch, playing games on the phone. Megan snatched the phone and threw it to the floor.
"Are you trying to screw me over? Didn't you say you tampered with the surveillance, leaving only the footage of Aurelia serving the coffee? So why is the footage of her being hypnotized also there?" Jewel jolted with realization, recognizing the mistake. "Damn it, the ship's surveillance must have an auto-backup feature. We completely missed that." Megan snorted, "And what about the coffee cup? How did it get cleaned, too? The police didn't find any traces of poison." Jewel pondered for a moment before replying, "It seems Aurelia realized she was under hypnosis and had poisoned Leopold, so she destroyed the evidence in advance to get away with it. That woman is cunning indeed."
