Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 622

The plot Lauren and Penny had hatched, with Penny poisoning the old man’s drink at Lauren’s direction—it had all gone according to her plan.

She had orchestrated the entire thing with only her grandfather and Harrison in on the secret, so the rest of the Brennan family was completely in the dark.

Seeing the old man alive and well, they were overcome with joy.

“Dad, you’re okay?”

“Grandpa, it’s so good to see you’re all right!”

The other guests, who had just been convinced by Lauren that Anastasia had harmed him, were now completely dumbfounded.

What was going on? Hadn’t Dr. Evert personally diagnosed the old man, declaring that he’d been poisoned and was in critical condition?

All eyes turned to Otto and Lauren.

Wiping a bead of cold sweat from his forehead, Otto stammered, “Perhaps I misdiagnosed. Lauren was simply blinded by her concern. It seems this was all a misunderstanding. It’s for the best that Mr. Brennan Sr. is unharmed!”

As his voice fell, Anastasia let out a soft scoff.

“A misunderstanding? Is that what you’re calling it? Dr. Evert, weren’t you just insisting that my grandfather had been poisoned? Surely the vice president of the Global Harmony Medical Institute wouldn’t make such a basic error.”

“And Ms. Brennan,” she continued, her gaze sharpening, “weren’t you just adamantly claiming you saw me administer the poison with your own eyes? That poison was even detected in the hidden container you found?”

The guests were no fools. Suspicious glances were exchanged as they recalled Lauren’s confident accusations.

Leaning on Murray for support, Mr. Brennan fixed his eyes on Lauren, the last trace of warmth gone from his expression.

When Anastasia had first proposed this plan, he had agreed, though a part of him still thought his granddaughter might be overthinking things.

“Who is that? Why did they bring her here?” the guests murmured among themselves.

Before anyone could answer, at a signal from Anastasia, the large screen on the stage flickered to life, displaying a video.

It was surveillance footage of Penny, disguised as a waitress, furtively adding a substance to a drink.

The camera angles shifted, showing Penny handing the doctored beverage to another waiter, who then delivered it directly to Mr. Brennan.

Penny’s struggles and shouts died in her throat, replaced by a choked gasp of disbelief as she stared at the screen.

But… but she had been so careful! She’d even checked for cameras beforehand.

How could she have been caught on video?
