"No," Mars said, then froze abruptly. His expression changed at once. "But Bianca did drink a glass of water. The water must have been contaminated. I'll check the surveillance right away."Without another word, Mars turned and strode off quickly.A chill crept through Adriana's chest. Who would go so far as to do something like this to Bianca?No matter how neglected Bianca might be, she was still Isabel's biological daughter—Francesco's sister.Francesco looked at Adriana and spoke softly, "Go back and sleep. This has nothing to do with you. Just pretend you don't know."Adriana opened her mouth, but in the end said nothing."Bianca's been poisoned. How could I possibly sleep?"She leaned against the wall, her voice firm. "I'm staying here."Her thoughts tangled into a chaotic knot. If those people were ruthless enough to target Bianca, then what about Francesco?She didn't know when Francesco had left. When he returned, he had a chair in his hand and a coat draped over his

"What is it?" Adriana asked."Do you want to go have breakfast together?" came Francesco reply.Adriana frowned, wondering if she had heard him correctly."Why?"Francesco replied indifferently, "You haven't eaten. I haven't either. Do we need a reason for that?""Let's go."Adriana was indeed hungry, so she didn't refuse further. She stood up first and walked toward the dining room.Francesco followed behind her, casually reaching out to pull the door shut.After they sat down, Adriana said to the waiter, "I'd like an Egyptian-style breakfast set."Francesco took the seat across from her. "Black coffee for me."The food arrived quickly. Adriana looked at the dishes in front of her and went slightly blank for a moment."Francesco… this is the same breakfast we had at that hotel in Egypt. Do you remember?"Francesco's expression remained unreadable. He took a sip of black coffee, letting the bitterness spread across his tongue."I didn't lose my memory. Of course I remember

"No. You're disturbing us. Please leave."Bianca stood up and pushed Suzie toward the door.Suzie shook her off. "Bianca, Cesco needs me right now. You'd better show me some respect.""You're lying," Bianca said flatly. She didn't believe her at all.Suzie ignored her and turned to Adriana instead."Do I need to call Cesco over before you agree to go downstairs and get my luggage?""Bianca, stay here and wait for me." Adriana closed the book and stood up.Francesco was already busy enough. There was no need to drag him into something this small.Besides, if Suzie really called him over, he would still make her fetch the luggage anyway—the result would be the same.She knocked on Mars' door. It opened almost immediately."Miss Adler, what is it?""Suzie wants me to go downstairs and bring her luggage up. Can you stay with Bianca for a moment?"Mars looked at her with sympathy. "I'll go get the luggage. You go back.""Suzie is deliberately making things difficult for me. Eve

Catching a few frogs and insects was no difficult task for Adriana at all.Francesco looked at Mars. "What happened?"Mars had no idea how to explain it. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare say it outright. So he could only repeat everything about Suzie ordering Adriana to go downstairs and fetch her luggage."You let her go down alone?" Francesco's tone turned cold with anger.Mars hurriedly explained, "I had to stay here with Bianca, so I had Jack accompany Miss Adler to retrieve it."Francesco's expression eased slightly. "Go get Jack."Adriana's eyelashes trembled at the words.It was over.That fleeting trace of guilt in her eyes was caught instantly by Francesco.He walked into Bianca's room, set down the picture book, and looked toward Adriana, who was standing outside."Come in."Adriana gave a soft "oh" and returned to the room, sitting beside Bianca.Suzie stood next to Francesco, her voice trembling with grievance."Cesco, she is clearly targeting me. She's trying

As the saying goes, when something feels off, there must be a reason behind it.Adriana and Bianca both pretended not to notice Suzie and sat at a table far away.In this place, even if Suzie wanted to take revenge on her, she could only resort to petty tricks.When Adriana placed her order, the waiter looked troubled."I'm sorry, but the staff dining area is on the first floor.""Adriana is my friend, not a servant," Bianca immediately spoke up."Miss Bianca, Madam Isabel has called and instructed us to follow her orders.""You—!""It's fine," Adriana said, stopping Bianca's hand.Of course. Just as expected, Suzie was resorting to Isabel again to suppress her. But that was all she could do.Suzie let out a laugh. "Always hiding behind Bianca—do you really think you're the lady of the house here now?"Adriana shot back calmly, "And aren't you the same? Hiding behind Isabel and mistaking yourself for the mistress of the Este family?"Suzie's face turned pale for a moment.
