Ha… her only flaw was that she was not born to rich parents. So why couldn’t she enjoy a good life too?

Han Xue and her mother, Han Qing rushed toward her angrily and her heels clicked exceptionally loudly against the ceramic tiles. The sounds they made as they walked clearly conveyed their anger and anxiety.

“There she is…” Han Xue pointed at Wang Lan who sat on a long bench by the river.

Wang Lan was currently using the dim street lighting to paint her nail. She was painting them bright pink to match her current outfit.

She was extremely calm even when as she watched the both of them rushing toward her. Her eyes remained clear as well, as though she was completely unafraid.

She did not come from a wealthy background and both her parents were labourers, so she didn’t have much. Since she didn’t have much, she had nothing to fear either.

“Wang Lan, why didn’t you feed her the medicine that we handed to you?” Han Xue said angrily the moment she saw Wang Lan. She was so enraged that her neck was completely flushed. Han Qing who stood beside her was equally livid and her fingers balled into fists as though she was about to beat someone up.

Wang Lan did not even bother to stand up and greet them. She continued painting her own nails and said calmly, “I was about to give it to her but didn’t manage to do so in time. How would I know that she would have to undergo an emergency c-section when she was 37 weeks pregnant?”

Wang Lan said frankly, as though she did not think that there was anything wrong with her actions.

Han Xue said, “You’re a liar! We handed you the medicine 8 days ago and you said you only needed 3 days to sneak it to He Xiyan. You even said that you had access to her room and would be able to enter her room every day and that you had her absolute trust.”

Wang Lan laughed. She had only agreed to their demands thoughtlessly back then but she did not think that these two would actually take her words seriously and even wired her $72,000 as a deposit. They said that they would wire her another $216,000 once she did the deed.

However, she was no fool. It was illegal to poison an unborn child and there were only a few people who lived in the castle. Once something happened to He Xiyan, the police would definitely investigate both the maids and the chef, so why should she take the risk of running afoul of the law? Furthermore, if she truly harmed Mr. Ye’s child and if he ever found out about it, he would skin her alive. She did not like He Xiyan but at least that woman was kind and treated the maids well. If Han Xue became Mrs. Ye in the future, she was sure that Han Xue would kill her to silence her.

She did not have a high level of education and only had a high school diploma but she was not a fool and knew how to weigh the pros and cons of her actions. When it came down to choosing between money and her life, she would obviously choose to survive.

Did they really think that she was such a fool?

Han Xue was so enraged by Wang Lan’s laugh that she felt her heart clench with an intense pain. She felt as though all the cells in her body were set ablaze and burned brightly.

“Smack!”

She suddenly stretched out her hand and gave Wang Lan a hard slap.

Wang Lan cupped her cheek in her hand but she did not retaliate. She was facing these two women alone and knew that she would not be their match. In any case, she would treat the $72,000 she took from them as compensation for this slap.

Han Qing quickly held her livid daughter back. This was a public area and they would attract attention by beating others up.

“Xiao Xue…” She said as she shook her head at her daughter. Then, she stepped forward and stared angrily at Wang Lan, trying her best to rein in her anger.

She was already past 50 years old and this was the first time she had been taken for a ride by such a young girl.

“Wang Lan, since you failed to carry out what you’ve promised us, please return us the deposit you took from us tonight.”

Han Qing levelled Wang Lan with a piercing stare and looked at her as though she wanted to tear this woman into pieces.
