One Night Stand With That Beggar

The child whom the woman had brought back was an eight-year-old boy. Just like that, they began to live in the Granger family.

The next morning, Eudora was awakened by a warm kiss. She saw Amos’ handsome face as soon as she opened her eyes.

She took a deep breath, still groggy.

Amos let go of her and caressed her head. “I’m heading to work. You should sleep for a while longer. You’d better not interact with that mother and son downstairs for the time being. It won’t be good if something happens.”

Eudora nodded in confusion and returned to sleep with Juju in her arms.

She slept for a while and it was almost 9 a. m. when she got up to get ready. She had just freshened herself up when she heard someone knocking on her door. Eudora quickly went to open it.

It was the woman from the day before, and she had a smile plastered across her face, “Hello, I went to the kitchen to make some of my child’s favorite breakfast. I’ve made a few extras and I remembered that you have a child, so I brought some for you.”

Eudora was taken aback and she tried to recall the woman’s name.

Was her name, Tiffany Leon?

“That’s too kind of you!” Eudora said hurriedly, “Juju isn’t up yet…”

“It’s okay. You could just leave it on the table for a while!”

Eudora could not think of anything else to say, so she reached out and accepted it. “Well… thank you!”

“You’re welcome!” the woman turned around and left after that.

After a while, Eudora returned to her senses. Judging by the woman’s calm demeanor, Eudora was quite certain that the boy was probably a child of the Granger family.

“Mommy!” Juju suddenly shouted, “That cake smells nice!”

Eudora took a look at the cake and put it on the table before walking over to Juju. “Are you hungry? Come on, get up, Mommy will bring you to eat some delicious food!”

“Can’t I eat the cake?” Juju asked.

Eudora thought for a moment and shook her head. “It’s better to not eat it!” After all, that woman was a complete stranger but she was acting so friendly to her. Eudora was a little cautious and dared not let Juju take risks.

Juju was obedient and she did not argue, so they changed the topic.

After Juju showered, a servant brought them breakfast. Eudora then fed Juju.

Before the servant left, Eudora said hurriedly, “Could you take the cake out and throw it away for me?”

The servant nodded and placed the cake into a bag.

After leaving Eudora’s room, the servant tasted the cake because it looked good. When the butler asked the servants to start cleaning, she quickly kept the cake away and went to work.

…

In the morning, Eudora received a reply from a company that she was hired.

The company agreed to let Eudora work from home, as long as she could email the designs to them whenever necessary. Nevertheless, they hoped that she could visit the site personally whenever she was free, but she did not have to do it frequently.

Eudora felt that this was a reasonable request, so she made an appointment to sign the contract.

As soon as she hung up the call, she heard footsteps outside her door.

The butler’s voice came from the other side of the door, “Miss George, the Old Master has some matters to discuss with you. Please come out.”

Eudora opened the door hurriedly and asked, “What’s wrong?”

The butler’s face was dark and he glanced at Juju, “The Old Master is asking for you and the Miss’ presence at the hall.”

Eudora nodded and went back to hold Juju’s hand. After that, the two of them went to the main building.

As soon as they arrived at the door, they realized that the hall was in a mess with some servants around. Then, Eudora noticed that Harry, Kaylene and Bethany were around as well.

Seeing that she had arrived, Bethany was the first to go up to them and said, “We have called you here to ask you about something. You have to answer truthfully, okay?”

Eudora nodded. The Old Master then said, “Did you give some food to the servant who came to deliver you breakfast today?”

Eudora was taken aback, “Oh, are you talking about the cake. I thought it wasn’t too appropriate, so I asked her to throw it away for me.”

However, when she said this, her heart suddenly sank.

Was there something wrong with that cake?

Thinking of this, she looked around the room, but she did not see the servant whom she had seen in the morning. She frowned, “Where is she? Is she alright?”

“How dare you still have the nerves to ask? She almost lost her life and is now in the hospital!” Harry spoke.

Eudora was shocked, “What happened?”

“She was poisoned! It has been confirmed that the cake that you have given her was poisoned.”

Eudora’s brain was buzzing and she subconsciously held Juju tighter to her. Fortunately, she had been cautious then and did not let Juju eat the cake.

“I can explain this!” Eudora said.

“What else is there to explain?” the Old Master said.

Bethany said hurriedly, “We don’t know everything yet. Let’s listen to what Eudora has to say.”

“Bethany!” Kaylene added, “She has already hurt someone but you’re still helping her!”

“I’m not the one who did it!” Eudora said, “Someone gave me that cake.”

“You’re lying!” Harry retorted, “Don’t you think that we won’t know since you threw the cake away. We’ve all seen it. That cake was still in a good shape. If you weren’t up to no good, why did you ask the servant to throw it away instead of eating it yourself?”

“Because…” Eudora paused. “Tiffany gave it to me. This morning, she suddenly came upstairs and gave the cake to me. She said that it was for Juju but I didn’t know her well and the servants were already serving breakfast so I didn’t let Juju eat it.”

Everyone was taken aback. Bethany was surprised as well, “So the cake was given to you by Tiffany?”

“Yes!” Eudora nodded.

The Old Master’s face darkened slightly, “You, go and get Tiffany for me!”

Upon hearing this, the servant left immediately.

A moment later, Tiffany arrived with Vincent next to her. She looked confused as she stood in the middle of the hall.

She even took the initiative to greet Eudora. “Oh, you’re here too. Was the cake in the morning delicious?”

Eudora looked at her in shock. Could it be that this woman did not know that there was poison in the cake? Otherwise, it would be very frightening if she could still stay so composed.

Old Master Granger said hurriedly, “So, you’re admitting that you were the one who sent that cake to Eudora this morning?”

Tiffany nodded, “Yes, I did send her the cake in the morning! What’s wrong? The cake is delicious. Vincent and I have finished the rest!”

Bethany’s face darkened and she hurriedly called the doctor next to her.

“Hurry, let him have a look.”

Tiffany looked puzzled, “What are you doing? We are all fine!”

“Someone was poisoned after eating the cake that you had sent to Eudora and she is now in the hospital. How are you going to explain this?”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Tiffany was dumbfounded. “That’s nonsense. How is that possible? I made those cakes myself. I ate them and so did Vincent. We’re alright. Why would anyone else be poisoned?”

With this, she suddenly looked at Eudora and Juju, “Who was poisoned? Aren’t they alright?”
