Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort

Chapter 2241 Dead

When they heard about Gerard’s rude behavior and that Sam nearly bit him, Layla and William exclaimed in unison, “Was he bitten?”

Francesca was determined. “No. I managed to stop Sam just before Gerard was bitten.” Layla patted her chest anxiously. “Are you sure he wasn’t bitten? How did Gerard react?”

Francesca frowned and replied, “He muttered something to his daughter, but I couldn’t hear what he said. I’m certain Sam did not bite him. Otherwise, Gerard would have collapsed on the spot. There was no way he could have left alive.”

“That’s true.” Layla let out a sigh of relief. William knitted his brows. “We can’t be sure. Is it possible for L’s refined poison to cause a genetic change in Sam, resulting in a slower-acting poison?”

“Hmm…” Francesca considered the possibility. Before she left, Sloan had reminded her about Sam’s increased toxicity after it was soaked in poison. Thus, the period it took for the poison to react might have been prolonged.

Moreover, Sam was a tiny snake, so its fang marks weren’t easy to spot. Since Gerard had been covering his neck when the attack took place, she could not be a hundred percent certain that he had not been bitten.
