Chapter 307: A Chance
Viviana was shocked by what Leander said. Leander was saying that the recent attack on them was arranged by Peter and Leander was not the target, but she was.
Peter really tried to kill her.
She should not be surprised. It should not be a shock. It was not. But what shocked her was Leander’s attitude towards his grandfather.
There were Peter’s spies in the Orchid Gardens, Leander says. So that means, the past few weeks that were hell for her were all part of Leander’s plan? He wanted his grandfather to believe that their marriage was rocky.
And Peter actually tried to kill her!
Viviana understood everything now. It explained a lot. Even on the day of the attack, no one knew Leander was home.
And more importantly, the second floor was untouched. Anyone who wanted Leander dead would have attacked the second floor.
But only the first floor was attacked.
Why didn’t I think of it before?
When the plan failed, they tried to poison her using Mary. Mary was the spy.
Viviana sighed. She treated Mary like her sister. Why would Mary betray her? She would have given Mary anything she asks of her and Leander would have protected her even if she was forced to spy on them. All she had to do was come clean. But she didn’t.
In the end, Mary chose to betray. Unforgivable.
