A Vengeful Girl
Chapter 236 A Tragedy Caused By Steamed Bun

Lisa was very sure Mary would give in since Tom was her Achilles' heel. It was enough to destroy her.

It felt so good to be in charge of other's destiny.

After Lisa left, Mary nearly collapsed on her chair. She was astound. Her affair was indeed her biggest mistake ever. Being with Tom was like being an addict; she could not get herself to stop. But, now she had to find a way to make up for everything. Mary and Tom were childhood sweethearts. Mary had assured him that she would marry him.

They lost contact with one another during college. Mary worked hard and achieved an excellent academic result. Her abilities made her the prime candidate for secretary to the CEO of the Mu Group.

But Mary knew she wanted more. With her current job, there would be no higher salary. She wanted to live a good life, and so she thought of settling down with a wealthy husband. Someone who could provide more.

She was an attractive woman with a beautiful figure to flaunt.

With careful planning, she became acquainted with Frank Han, the Chief Designer at Mu Group.

Their relationship went well and it was an easy decision for Mary to marry Frank. He loved her deeply and bestowed her with expensive gifts. Mary got used to this lavish lifestyle with him, though she never really felt the same way about him. Despite her lack of feelings for Frank, she refused to leave him. He had the means to support her ideal lifestyle.

Mary was living a good life with Frank, just as she had planned for herself. All this was until she bumped into Tom two years ago. She realized she was still madly in love with him. As for Tom, he was devastated by the fact that Mary was married. Emboldened by their mutual feelings, they decided to rekindle their friendship. At first, they met weekly for a casual meal. Things got complicated when they got drunk at one such tryst.

One thing led to the next. Mary had never felt such passion with Frank.

She was in a fix. She knew that if she gave into Lisa's demands now, then it would not be the end of them. At no cost did she want Lisa to start controlling her life.

Yes, she cheated! But if she stole the designs, she would be breaking the law. She could go to prison for stealing trade secrets.

Mary had been going through every detail and conversation over and over again. After weighing the implications, she decided to comply with Lisa's request. There was no other way out. If Frank found out, he would divorce her.

So Mary decided to steal the design for Lisa, but she would also tell her that this would be the first and only time.

The first step was the toughest, actually stealing the designs. Mary was oblivious to her future.

Not long after returning home, Lisa told Charles that she wasn't feeling very well.

Charles noticed that she had paled. "What's wrong? Are you feeling sick, darling?"

"Yes, my stomach hurts!" Since Lisa's face resembled Linda's, he could tell she was not feeling well at all. He became worried.

"We are going to the hospital now." Charles commanded. Since Lisa was pregnant, they could not take any risks. So, he drove her to the hospital.

Adam Huo identified an opportunity to replace Linda's doctor at Mu Group. The new doctor had been introduced to the hospital

When Dr. Anna resigned.

Lisa was not worried. She knew Adam had got the new doctor to manipulate all the medical records. Adam had also managed to destroy information on Dr. Anna's computer, And all her belongings had been stashed in a warehouse. Nobody heard from Dr. Anna Xu again. It was almost like she did not exist at all.

As soon as they reached the hospital, Charles lifted Lisa and ran inside in a hurry. Lisa was not sick. Her feigned illness was part of another plan to achieve

Something crucial.

The report was ready in thirty minutes. Charles who was worried sick asked, "How is she? Is my wife alright?"

"Master Mu, this is very unexpected. Weren't you aware that she is not allowed to eat a certain type of food during her pregnancy? This is a case of food poisoning. Something she ate during lunch caused her illness. Since this is her first term, her Lady could have miscarried." "What did she eat?" Charles glared at Bun.

"Young Master, Lady Linda usually eats food cooked by the chef. It is safe." Bun explained.

"But as per our reports, we found pieces of meat in her stomach, which could have caused the problem."

At the mention of meat, Bun recalled that while they were at the company, Linda had asked Bun to get her food from outside. Since Spring Festival was nearing, only one restaurant was open, and they were serving steamed buns.
