Chapter 761: It Was A Sweet One

Evan suddenly stood up. There was thin frost in his eyes. He took one step forward, almost freezing everything around him. He gave off a smothering presence.

The chef was terrified. He moved back with his knees on the ground.

Evan asked, "What meat is it?"

The chef answered, "It's.... snake meat."

Evan charged over and looked coldly and sharply. He said, "Snake meat?"

Avery covered her mouth with the napkin. She felt butterflies in her stomach and sick.

Maeve's look was gloomy too. She said, "Why do you have snake meat in the kitchen?" This was an ancient country. If anything went wrong, it meant she failed to do her jobs, let alone in front of George. How humiliated was she!

"I..." The chef hesitated for a while and said, "The gulls, skin, meat, and Aphididae of snakes have medical value. So I asked for the boa when I saw the guards dealing with it. But I don't know how snake meat ends up in the soup."

A boa?

Avery recalled how a boa tried to eat her the other night, and she put a bullet in it. Was it the same one?

Avery looked at Yuki. She said she would help out in the kitchen and never came out. It was her that took the maids to serve the soup.

Yuki was watching the chef. Feeling someone was looking at her, she turned around and met Avery's look in the air. Yuki said, gloatingly, "It's snake meat."

Yuki said in a way she had nothing to do with it, and she found out about it just now.

Avery stared at Yuki coldly, "Yuki, do you know the answer already?"

Yuki said, "Your Highness, do you think it's me?" She stirred up the soup. The spoon rubbed against the china bowl to make subtle noises. She pressed her lips and said, "Your Highness, are you out to get me?"

Avery sneered, "You know what you did."

Evan wanted to kill Yuki already because she found five men trying to harm Avery. That was enough. How could he let go of her?

Evan looked ferocious. He turned around and glared at Yuki, giving chills on her spine.

Avery knew Evan. She knew it was the look before he started getting ruthless. So she hurried to get up to stop him. Even if it was Yuki, she had to think about Maeve because Yuki worked for her.

Avery was about to say something when Maeve said first, "Pull out the CCTV." Her voice was majestic.

Yuki put down the spoon. She hid behind Maeve. The way Evan got mad was horrifying.

Five minutes later, the guard gave Maeve the tablet with CCTV on it.

That showed every corner in the kitchen within the last hour.

To get to the truth, Avery fast-forwarded it until Yuki came into the kitchen.

Yuki was first arranging the maids to serve and walked to the chef and said something.

From the beginning to the end, Yuki put both hands in front of her chest and had her back against the camera. It looked like she did nothing.

Maeve showed the video to Evan and Avery. Avery watched it and frowned. It was hard for her to think Yuki didn't do this.

It was Yuki who saw Avery killing the python. Of the four people, only her beef in the soup was replaced with snake meat.

Maybe Yuki didn't realize the snake meat soup tasted sour. So she thought Avery would eat it without hesitation.

But it was Avery's speculation. She couldn't see any video evidence.

Yuki pouted. It was her time to complain. She grabbed Maeve's sleeves and said, "Maeve, I know Avery doesn't like me. She'll think of me whenever bad things happen. But I really didn't do anything."

Maeve patted Yuki's hand, "No one will accuse you of anything without evidence."

Then Maeve said with a pleading tone, "George, it's probably a misunderstanding. I'll ask them to find out."

Evan was unhappy with how Maeve dealt with this. But Avery grabbed his sleeves, seeming to make concessions to avoid trouble. He thought Avery didn't want to get to the bottom of this because of Maeve. But Avery said, "Your Highness if I have a way to find out who did this. What will you do?"

Hearing what Avery said, Evan smiled lightly. It was a sweet one.

Evan thought his woman was bright. She could surprise him one time after another.

Maeve just told the maid to find out about it. She paused and said, "Your Highness, what do you want to do?"

Avery cast a glance over at Yuki, saying, "I just want to know if I do, what will Your Highness do?"

Maeve asked, "What do you want me to do?"

Avery watched as Maeve put Yuki behind her back. It was obvious she wanted to protect Yuki. So without any doubt, Maeve tossed back the tough question to Avery.

Avery admitted that she couldn't offend Maeve. For the sake of her daughter, it was not smart to upset Maeve. However, if Yuki really did it, Avery didn't want to let her go.

She thought for a moment, and said, "If I find out who did this, I'll make that person drink all the snake meat soup."

The punishment wasn't harsh. But it showed there would be consequences to think about messing with Avery. She wasn't an easy target.

Maeve was happy with it. As long as it didn't involve physical punishment, it was okay. Maeve would hate it to have so much trouble on her big night.

So Maeve said yes.

But Yuki cut in and said, "Maeve, what if Avery can't find out who did it?"

Yuki's voice wasn't loud. But she made sure Avery could hear it.

Maeve asked, "What do you mean?" She didn't know what Yuki was getting at.

Yuki looked up and said loudly, "If she can't find out, I want an apology because Avery was certain it was me."

Maeve looked at Avery. She sneered, "Sure." She nodded.

At the time, the chef was held up by the guard. The maids stood in two lines to face the four. Almost all the maids at the presidential house were here. But it was oddly quiet.

They all stood there, nervously. They were afraid of breathing too loudly.

They all set eyes on Avery like she was the one deciding who lived and who died.

More was just curious. Since there was nothing wrong with the video, could Avery really find out?

Avery stood up and said calmly to Maeve, "I want a prop."
