The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 627

Jessa stared, lost for words. “Ella!”

Ella watched her closely, suspicion written all over her face. “And another thing… I haven’t even finished the antidote yet. How did you manage to wake up by yourself?”

Jessa’s eyes darted away, a flash of guilt betraying her.

“If I’d really poisoned you, trust me, you wouldn’t have woken up at all. But here you are, awake and alive. Mr. Wade, I think there’s something really off about this. You should probably look into it,” Ella said, turning her gaze to Moss.

Moss looked at Jessa, his eyes sharp and steady. The way he studied her sent a chill down her spine. She suddenly felt exposed, like he could see right through her.

She quickly grabbed her head, pretending to feel weak. “Dad, I think I’m feeling dizzy.”

“You should get some rest, Jessa.” Moss gently tucked the blanket around her, then led everyone out of the room.

Once they were in the hallway, Moss stopped and looked at Ella. “What do you think really happened with Jessa’s poisoning?”

Ella didn’t hesitate. “Mr. Wade, I actually believe Jessa poisoned herself.”

Moss pressed his lips together, considering her words.

Ella went on, “She probably wanted to frame me, but things didn’t go the way she expected. When she lost control of the situation, she had no choice but to wake up herself.”

Moss didn’t say anything, just kept watching her.

Ella met his gaze, her tone blunt. “Honestly, Jessa really isn’t like you at all. She’s not very smart. She didn’t inherit an ounce of your intelligence. What about Mrs. Wade? Was she just a pretty face? Is Jessa like her mother?”

At the mention of Jessa’s mother, Moss’s handsome features turned cold, his jaw set. “No. Jessa’s mother was no fool. She was actually very clever.”
