Chapter 992 -992: The Antidote She Developed
Xaviera Evans lazily sat on the couch, looking sharply at Zora Hughes, “How would you explain this to Caleb Mamet? Are you holding his wife here as if he doesn’t exist?”
Zora suddenly choked up and became nervous. Had Xaviera discovered their plan?
“Xaviera, get some rest. Mr. Caleb Mamet will come to pick you up soon. Even if he doesn’t, your grandfather will send you home. You must be too tired, stop overthinking things.”
After saying that, Zora stared closely into Xaviera’s eyes. The drug would take effect soon, and she wouldn’t be able to hold on for much longer. Sure enough, Xaviera’s body swayed a bit.
Xaviera sneered inwardly. From the moment she drank that glass of wine, she knew what kind of poison it was – the same one that was in Caleb’s body. Once the poison enters the body, it puts the person into a deep sleep. The Hughes family would take advantage of this time to test drugs on her. Unfortunately for them, they didn’t know that she was invulnerable to poison and very familiar with this type of toxin.
Xaviera calculated the time when the poison would take effect and pretended to collapse weakly on the couch before closing her eyes.
Zora stood still and watched her for a moment, making sure that the poison had taken effect and that she had lost her ability to resist. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief, turn around, and leave the guest room, locking the door behind her.
Not long after, other members of the Hughes family entered. Cory Hughes took out a pill and stuffed it into Xaviera’s mouth.
Madam Hughes spoke in discontent, “Cory, this medicine was made by the Medical Association, and we don’t have many left. Giving it to Xaviera wasteful, isn’t it?”
Cory laughed and explained, “You don’t understand! The person who gave me the medicine said that if someone who has been poisoned takes the detoxification pill and it works, then their blood will have the ability to detoxificate. We can drink her blood to be cured. Isn’t that more helpful than one hundred detoxification pills?”
Upon hearing this, Madam Hughes became excited, “Does this mean our entire family can be saved?”
It turned out that this was the Hughes family’s plan all along. Although it was somewhat different from the information Felix Sabir had spread, the bottom line is that they wanted her to act as the antidote. Who had told the Hughes family about this plan? Was it someone from the Medical Association or someone impersonating the Association’s doctor?
Xaviera curled up on the couch, quietly listening to the Hughes family’s conversation. She carefully tasted the pill in her mouth. Wasn’t this a medicine she had developed?
She had initially developed this pill to help Caleb detoxify but found it to be ineffective. Who had stolen her medicine?
“But Mr. Caleb Mamet is still outside…” Jonas Hughes, feeling a bit uneasy, knew what Caleb was capable of and thus dared not provoke him.

“When he arrives, let’s find a pretext to stall him. And don’t tell Zora about this.” instructed Cory, “This matter is dangerous after all, and we can’t involve Zora in any way. If the plan is exposed, we must deny any connection to her.”
Although Cory said this, he was confident that no one would discover their plan. If Caleb barged in to get Xaviera, they could simply say that she had already left. What could Caleb do to them?
At this moment, Steve Price was hiding outside the window, grinding his teeth in anger, “Boss, when do we go in? I can’t stand it! I want to go in and beat these people up.”
Caleb’s expression was indifferent, and his smile sinister, “We can’t enter through the window. We have to walk proudly through the front door and bring Mrs. Mamet home.”
In the guest room.
After everyone left, Xaviera opened her eyes and quickly got up, effortlessly unlocking the door. The Hughes family members were all discussing in the living room, and no one was upstairs. Xaviera planned to quietly sneak into Cory’s study to search for clues, but before she could leave, she suddenly heard a very soft noise of footsteps outside the door.
The person was extremely cautious, afraid of being caught. They gently pushed the door open, and Xaviera quickly lay back on the couch. Then she saw a figure carefully walk in.
“Miss Evans, wake up!” Mrs. Hughes’ voice was gentle as she shook Xaviera’s arm.
Xaviera kept her eyes tightly closed, pretending to be unconscious.
Mrs. Hughes sighed in anxiety, her voice trembling, “Miss Evans, they want to harm you. Mr. Mamet is still waiting outside. You must hurry downstairs and leave with him!”
Xaviera pondered. Mrs. Hughes seemed different from the others. Since the moment she entered the door, Mrs. Hughes had been subtly warning her that the Hughes family had ill intentions. Now, she risked danger to tell her to leave as soon as possible.
