The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 1109

After lunch, Zeke made arrangements to send a truckload of daffodils to Charlie's house. 4

The daffodils he sent were all high-quality grades that were very lush and green, and none of them were flowering as per Charlie's request. 1

Daffodils looked very similar to chives especially when they were not blooming. 3

People in the city could not distinguish plants very clearly. Also, most people who ate chives had only seen chives sold in the market that were tied in a bundle, but they had never seen chives growing in the ground, so they were unable to differentiate chives and daffodils in plain sight and would often get confused by the similarities. 1

Chive was a vegetable fancied by many people. It was an indispensable amazing ingredient when it came to stir-frying, soup, making pies, or dumplings. 5

However, daffodils were not edible.

Why? Because daffodils contained narcissus.

Narcissus was a toxic alkaloid. 1

When Elaine told Charlie that Lady Wilson liked to eat chives, he immediately thought of daffodils. 1

He knew that after the sneaky Lady Wilson succeeded in stealing vegetables for the first time, she would

definitely repeat her sinister act again and again.

Hence, he asked Zeke to arrange workers to plant all these daffodils on the villa's wall. 2

By doing so, Lady Wilson could simply reach out and grab a bunch of the daffodils from outside the fence-i t would be very easy to steal them. 1

If she stole these daffodils and consumed them as chives, she would learn a miserable and unfortunate lesson from it.

Although the poison was not lethal, admission to the hospital and several days of treatment was inevitable, s

Charlie's objective was to let them be admitted to the hospital after consuming those toxic daffodils. During the time they were in the hospital, he would hire some people to turn all the fences around the villa into walls and build a glasshouse for his vegetable garden. That way, no one could steal his vegetables again. 1

Lady Wilson, who was next door, happened to see the truck come to unload the cargo from the balcony on the third floor of her villa.

She blinked in astonishment and awe when she saw the workers unloading clusters of green slender leaf plants!

It was chives!

Such fresh and glistening chives! 6

She recalled the delicious lunch at noon. Thanks to Charlie's fresh greens, the hearty meal was mouth-

watering and savory. In fact, it was a very healthy and balanced meal. 1

She was over the moon when she saw the fresh chives being unloaded in Charlie's house because chives were her favorite!

In fact, it had been a long while since she had eaten eggs and chives dumplings after the series of unfortunate events-becoming homeless, suffering the devastating changes in her family, and the lockup in the detention center.

As she stared at the batches of fresh chives in Charlie's yard, a light bulb instantly blinked in her mind! She wanted to quickly take a knife and cut a few bundles from Charlie's yard, then, she would make eggs and chives dumplings for dinner! 7

At 4 pm, after Lady Wilson woke up from her nap, she instantly went to the balcony to take a peek at the chives in Charlie's yard. 1

She was like a dog with two tails when she saw the chives being planted along the side of his fence.

It was just too convenient, wasn't it? 5

She quickly went down the stairs in excitement.

At this moment, Christopher and his family of four were sitting in the living room watching TV. 7

Harold had moved the TV from an empty room downstairs to the living room. It was not as big as the one they had sold, but it was good enough for them.

Lady Wilson urged Hannah when she was finally downstairs, "Hannah, go out and buy a carton of eggs and a bag of flour."
