CHAPTER 041
OLIVIA’S POV
Wait! Why was I suddenly feeling like a villain? Because this is what villains do.
I should probably abort the plan and leave everything in peace.
…Nah.
That’s what I would have done if she didn’t make me lose my child. Some people. might think I’m acting like a villainess, but this is just a small tip compared to what she did. So, now I wait and watch.
Should I add this to his food too? It would be nice to see Adrian jump around like an idiot. I didn’t even realize that I was smiling. But then, he might think it’s from the head chef, and that could get her fired. I’ll just stick to Dora. She’s the main target anyway.
Just as I finished, I heard footsteps coming downstairs, and I knew that was them.
I quickly went into the kitchen for a few seconds and came out, acting as naturally as possible. Hopefully, they wouldn’t suspect anything.
Now it was time for the psychology game.
As Adrian took his seat, I walked over to

Just as I was about to sit, I heard Dora’s voice.
“Don’t even think about it. That’s my place.”
Yes! It worked.
“Oh, sorry about that,” I said sweetly, forcing a polite smile. “Please, have a seat.”
I could feel Adrian’s eyes on me. He was probably wondering when I had ever been so polite to Dora. But he was about to find out.
I gently pulled the chair out for her before moving to the left side and sitting down.
My little gamble worked. She fell for it like an idiot.
“You’re eating in the dining room today?” Adrian asked.
Ever since he forcefully brought me back here, I had always eaten in my room. But today was a special occasion–I wanted to see this close–up.
“Well, you have a visitor, so I made an exception,” I replied, keeping my tone casual.
Adrian raised an eyebrow, clearly sensing something was off. “Is that so?” “Tch.” Dora clicked her tongue in endayagun but ignored her and flashed her a smile
Successfully unlocked! instead.
We all picked up our utensils. The show was about to begin.
I watched as Dora took a bite from the curry soup. Then another spoonful. Then she

cleared her throat.
The spice was slowly kicking in.
She took a couple more spoonfuls before the signs started showing. Her face turned
red, and beads of sweat formed on her forehead.
“Is something wrong?” Adrian asked, noticing her discomfort.
“Just feeling a little hot,” Dora replied, fanning herself with her hand.
Feeling a little hot? Even with the AC cooling the entire room? Very funny.
“Whoa.” She exhaled sharply, shifting uncomfortably in her seat.
I glanced at my phone. The full power of the pepper should kick in exactly sevent minutes after consumption.
Three… two… one-
“Water! I need water!” Dora suddenly jumped to her feet, screaming at the maids.
“What’s wrong?” Adrian asked, his brows furrowing in concern.
“My mouth…it’s on fire!” she gasped, waving frantically at her tongue as if that would help.
“Get some milk immediately,” Adrian ordered one of the maids, who rushed off to the
kitchen.
Nothing was better than this.
“Oh dear,” I said in my best innocent tone. “What might seem to be the problem?”
The maid quickly returned, holding a gallon of milk. Ugh. Why did she have to be so efficient? She just had to ruin the fun.
I folded my arms and leaned back against my chair, watching as Dora practically attacked the milk jug like a wild animal.
Milk spilled all over her expensive dress and onto the floor. She chugged the milk desperately, her breathing ragged. By the time she finally stopped to catch her breath, she had almost finished the entire gallon.
Adrian turned towards the maids standing nearby. “Who did this?”
The chef came out of the kitchen hesitantly, looking nervous. I immediately saw the look in Dora’s eyes–she wasn’t going to let this go. And worse, she wasn’t going to give the chef a chance to explain.
I needed to act fast.
I stood up from my chair just as Dora stomped toward the chef, rage burning in her expression. She raised her hand, ready to slap the poor woman across the face.
But I wasn’t about to let that happen.
I caught Dora’s wrist in mid–air, gripping it tightly before she could make contact.

“That’s enough,” I said firmly, staring her down.
She turned her head towards me and said “Let go of my hand now.”
“There’s no need for you to hit anyone, she had nothing to do with this,” I said letting go of her hand.
“Then who did.” Adiran’s voice came from behind me.
I cleared my throat and then replied, “I did.” My voice was barely above a whisper.
I saw a wicked smile appear on Dora’s face, “I should have known this was your doing.”
She said
Adrian let out a sigh, then said. “Why did you add spices to her food.”
“Well initially I was meant to take that food but you saw the way she claimed that spot, and I didn’t want to argue with her so I just gave it to her,” I said.
I
Yes indeed I had a backup plan, I eventually knew Adrian was going to find out that it was me, and like Julian said on the phone I should avoid getting on his bad side, even though I enjoyed doing so, so I came up with this.
Adrian crossed his arms, I could see the clear disbelief on his face. “When did you suddenly–like spicy dishes.”
Oh so now he knew the dishes I liked?
“And when did you know I had no interest in it? Last I checked you never even cared” I
