The moment I finished speaking, Melvin's face turned ashen. As a businessman, what he hated most was being played like a fool and being schemed against.

Melvin fumed through gritted teeth, "That damn Carter! How dare he set his sights on us and pull such a trick? Don't worry, Stella. I agree with your condition. Even if you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have let that ungrateful snake get away with this."

  • Rebirth: Bestie Can Take the Spiked Drink This Time   Chapter 10

    The moment I finished speaking, Melvin's face turned ashen. As a businessman, what he hated most was being played like a fool and being schemed against.Melvin fumed through gritted teeth, "That damn Carter! How dare he set his sights on us and pull such a trick? Don't worry, Stella. I agree with your condition. Even if you hadn't asked, I wouldn't have let that ungrateful snake get away with this."To them, sacrificing an outsider like Carter to protect their adopted daughter while reclaiming their biological daughter was more than worth it.Under the Jost family's ruthless maneuvering, Slade Group's stock price plummeted. Banks cut off their loans, and partners terminated their contracts one after another.In less than half a month, the Slade family declared bankruptcy due to their massive debt. Carter went from a high-and-mighty scion to a nobody overnight.As promised, I signed the letter of forgiveness.However, Rachel's illegal possession of prohibited drugs was still a cri

    The air seemed to freeze in that instant. Tamara's hands trembled violently. The report slipped from her grasp and fell to the floor.She mumbled, "W-What? How is this possible… Stella… Stella is actually…"Melvin staggered and took a step back. Then, he stared at my face and realized that I looked very similar to Tamara in her younger years. His expression was filled with disbelief.Just moments ago, they had been ready to have their own biological daughter stripped and photographed naked to threaten her into taking the fall for their adopted daughter. Now, the truth was like a slap across their faces.I straightened my disheveled collar and walked up to them. "Mr. and Mrs. Jost, do you still want me to sign the letter of forgiveness?"Hearing my words, they finally snapped out of their shock.Tamara tried to rush forward and hug me, but I coldly stepped aside. A flash of hurt and embarrassment crossed her face.She explained, "Stella, I was confused just now. I… I didn't kno

    Sure enough, it wasn't long before Rachel's parents came knocking. They arrived with bodyguards and a lawyer. The group barged into my rented apartment aggressively. Their lofty, condescending attitude made it seem like even stepping into this place dirtied their shoes."Stella, you jinx! Was it not enough that you got Rachel thrown into jail?" Tamara cursed loudly while pointing rudely at me the moment she walked in.She continued, "Hurry up and sign this letter of forgiveness. Admit that you instigated Rachel to drug herself. We can give you some money and send you abroad. Otherwise, don't blame us for making your life miserable. Rachel's father, Melvin Jost, stood straight with an imposing expression.He issued his command without room for refusal, "If you know what's good for you, you'll sign it. We can crush a nobody like you as easily as crush an ant. Don't think that you can turn things around just because the police found something. "As long as we insist you did it, who

    Just then, urgent knocking and the sound of police sirens came from outside the door. "Police! Open up!"Before Rachel started banging on the door, I had already been on the phone with Hamish. I never hung up the call. So, he had heard everything that just happened inside the apartment.The police quickly subdued Rachel and carefully collected the small bottle I had pinned under my foot as evidence."No! This isn't mine! She framed me! Stella put it in my bag!" Rachel screamed hysterically while struggling desperately with tears and snot covering her face.Hamish looked at her coldly and took out a pair of handcuffs. "Ms. Jost, we'll know whether it's yours or not once we run a fingerprint test. We heard your conversation just now. Come with us."Before Hamish left, I handed him the test report for the bottle I had taken from Carter.I said to him, "Officer Webb, this is the substance I got from Carter before the incident. The analysis shows it's just vitamins. This proves that w

    Held back from making his move?I immediately caught those peculiar words.Upon realizing she had let something slip, Rachel's eyes flickered diffidently for a moment before turning vicious again."Whatever. Carter already completely despises you now. Sooner or later, he and I will end up together. Stella, you're a complete loser," she said.I had no interest in her relationship drama with Carter, but she seemed to have been expecting him to drug her. It was only after I got hold of Carter's bottle that I knew the substance wasn't lethal. Still, Rachel couldn't have known that beforehand…But she wasn't exactly stupid. So, why would she knowingly drink something poisonous? Unless she thought the drug was for some other purpose.Combined with what the doctor said at the hospital about her suffering from poisoning due to a high concentration of aphrodisiacs, an absurd yet completely logical guess took form in my mind."Rachel," I suddenly said, my voice eerily calm. "The drug that

    To the side, Tamara was still cursing me viciously. "Arrest her! A murderer like her deserves to be executed!"Carter let out a sigh of relief. He was delighted and watching on with schadenfreude. Behind the crowd, Rachel curled her lips into a smug smile at me.I opened my mouth to defend myself, only to realize I had no way to argue my case.A crowd had already gathered in the hallway. Some were even holding up their phones to record.Escorted by two police officers, I was taken away in disgrace and shoved into a police car. At the station, I went through a full 48 hours of interrogation. Hamish repeatedly questioned me about the source of the drug, but I really did know nothing. Fortunately, although my fingerprints were found on Rachel's glass, the police found no evidence—on me, in my home, or in my communication records—of purchasing or possessing any drugs.Under my lawyer's guarantee, I was temporarily released on bail. After parting ways with my lawyer, I had just turne
