Chapter 88: Trying To Poison
Rain bit the inside of her cheek to keep from scowling. ’This woman,’ she thought, her mind racing with possible ways to deal with this situation. Sarah’s intentions were clear now—this was no simple mistake but a deliberate attempt to mess with her. And Rain wasn’t one to let such things slide.
Feigning obliviousness, Rain cheerfully added more peanut butter to the stew. She wasn’t just going to let Sarah get away with this. For now, she played along, but she would have to deal with this troublemaker soon enough—and when she did, Sarah wouldn’t see it coming.
There were CCTV cameras in every corner of the kitchen, and Rain suspected there might even be hidden cameras throughout the mansion. It made sense, given that Lancaster Group’s main business was electronics. Sarah probably didn’t realize just how advanced technology had become—there was no hiding from it anymore.
Rain acted normal, preparing everything with a cheerful demeanour. Sarah had outdone herself by suggesting pickles for the potato salad, but Rain knew she and her father-in-law would enjoy the meal.
"What’s that for?" Sarah asked as Rain began preparing some beef cuts.
"Oh, I’m craving this," Rain replied casually as she started marinating the beef with lemon juice and soy sauce. Sanya had taught her the recipe, but it would be her first time cooking it. Alexander loved beef, so she hoped he would enjoy it later.
"Beef steak?" Sarah asked, and Rain nodded. "Are you pregnant, Mrs. Lancaster?" Sarah questioned directly, causing Rain to cough in surprise. Should she say yes? Would that make Sarah stop meddling with her? Or would it make things worse, given how much Sarah clearly disliked her?
"Hmm, I don’t know yet," Rain replied with a timid smile. She should seriously consider a career in acting at this rate.
"Do you mean you and Sir? But I heard you two sleep in separate rooms?" Sarah questioned, her tone laced with curiosity. Rain’s face twitched slightly, but she couldn’t blame her. Who would believe her relationship with Alexander was genuine when they slept in different rooms?
