Chapter 358 In Your Name, Crown His Surname (2/2)

”You said you were forced. Well, I would like to know why someone forced you to poison me. And why were you appointed to carry out such treachery?” asked Emily.

”It was Leona. She forced me to poison you, Miss Lu. It was all because of my husband. He owed them a fair amount of gambling money, and they threatened to cripple him if he failed to pay his debts. Miss Lu, I had no other choice but to follow Leona's orders,” Zoe explained.

Emily closed her eyes and took a deep breath. ”You wanted to save your husband from his debtors at the cost of my life. Wow! You must be a saint! Is my life was so worthless to you?” she sneered.
