NOVPUBChapter 1097: 505 Awakening of Insects_2 Chapter 1097: 505 Awakening of Insects_2 After finishing her scolding, Tiffany Wood let out a long sigh and walked away, leaving Marcellus Dankworth roared in fury and exasperation.
——
Back in the day, when Marcellus Dankworth pursued her under the guise of Adam Dankworth, the man was full of sweet words and promises.
Naively, she fell for him quickly. 𝚗ovp𝚞b.𝚌om
However, after their marriage, he could no longer hide his true colors.
He married her only because she was the daughter-in-law favored by Madam Dankworth.
Marcellus merely acted first, to strengthen his chances of seizing the family inheritance.
Just after they married, Marcellus wasted his days in debauchery.
...
While she was pregnant, she confronted him only to be slapped into a miscarriage by him.
He neither cared nor stopped his lavish lifestyle, prolonging her road to recovery.
Not only did she lose the baby, but her womb was also permanently damaged.
She had long wanted a divorce, but her family relied on the Dankworths’ support for their company.
Her parents were firmly against her divorcing.
So, she decided to persist with Marcellus.
Of all his mistresses, Vivian Hayes was the one he had kept for the longest and given the most.
She thought that Vivian was special to Marcellus.
But it seemed she had underestimated the man’s selfishness.
This sinking ship was about to go under.
Only a fool would go down with him.
She had to start preparing for herself.
Tiffany Wood found Marcellus’s assistant, Kendry, who was already weary from all the chaos and answered any question asked.
“Mr.
Dankworth embezzled funds from Dankworth Group.
If he can’t repay it, he wants to sell one of his chemical companies which he holds.
However, the terms issued by the buyer are unacceptable to him, making a stalemate situation.
Tomorrow is the final deadline.
If the old Mr.
Dankworth comes to know about it, he won’t let Mr.
Dankworth off easily.” Which means, he will definitely ruin his path to seize power.
Tiffany Wood narrowed her eyes: “Bria Alvarez?”
Kendry nodded vigorously, “Madam, you knew.”
Tiffany Wood curled her lips: “Bria built her business from scratch, unlike him who was raised in an extravagant hedonist lifestyle.”
“Make a call to Bria now.”
Kendry asked warily, “Madam, what do you want to do?”
Tiffany Wood’s smile gave Kendry chills, so he hurriedly said: “Okay, I’ll call right away.”

After making her rounds, Seraphine Moore was giving instructions to the on-duty nurse at the nurse’s station.
Suddenly, the elevator at the left of the nurse’s station opened and out came two men in suits, their confident strides exuding an air of professionalism.
One of them walked up politely and asked, “Hello doctor, could you please tell us which room Miss Vivian Hayes is in?”
“Are you her friends…”
The man took out his credentials: “I’m a police officer, Vivian Hayes is a suspect in a case.
Please cooperate with the police.”
The smile on Seraphine Moore’s face froze instantly, and it took her moments to register what had been said.
“Oh, okay, please follow me.”
On their way, Seraphine casually remarked, “Officer, Miss Hayes just had surgery and she isn’t in her best health.
Can you tell me what she’s done, and how serious is it?”
The officer replied formally, “I’m sorry, but we can’t disclose details about ongoing investigations.”
Seraphine opened the door to the patient’s room, “Miss Hayes is in here.
She’s been a little upset lately, I hope you’ll be considerate of her emotions.”
Vivian was complaining to Mrs.
Hayes about the poor quality of the hospital food.
Mrs.
Hayes was peeling an orange and replied, “Even this was hard to get.
We just need to get through these few days and when we get home, I’ll cook delicious meals for you every day.”
“Miss Hayes, how are you feeling today?”
Vivian saw Seraphine lead two men into the room.
She instinctively furrowed her brows, pulled up the blanket to cover her face, and said gruffly, “Don’t bring any odd characters to see me.”
Seraphine’s expression was a bit stiff, “These two…
they are officers from the city police station.”
Upon hearing the word ‘police’, Vivian’s heart lurched, “I don’t know them, tell them to leave.”
Mrs.
Hayes immediately stood in front of Vivian upon hearing this, and nervously said to the police, “Officers, there must be a mistake.
My daughter just had surgery and is still very weak.
Please don’t disturb her rest, okay?”
The officer stepped forward, displaying his badge, “On the night of Chinese New Year’s Eve, Miss Hayes allegedly directed others to poison the victim and incited others to attack her.
The victim has reported to the police.
After three days of investigation, we have gathered enough evidence.
We are now issuing an arrest warrant for Vivian Hayes.
Please cooperate with the police to facilitate further investigations.”
