Chapter 561 Maxwell''s Death List (Part Two)


    She sank down without much struggle. The scene was so terrible that the women present around were


    deeply scared. None of them dared to utter a single word. Many of them thought that Chelsea deserved


    it, because she has cheated on Maxwell. But what perplexed them most was the reason why he had


    called out everyone and forced them to watch the horrific scene. Some of them even looked at Ivy


    questioningly. Covering the mouth with her handkerchief, Ivy too looked quite disturbed. This was


    because even though he had called out all his women in the mansion, she was spared.


    "Maxwell, the crime Chelseamitted was unforgivable, so she deserved more than this. But what


    about the servants in her house? Do you want to expel them all?" she asked calmly, pinching her own


    palm.


    Maxwell stood up, passed by his wife, and left without looking back. He didn''t say anything, but the


    anger on his face was evident. Not knowing what to do, all others looked towards Ivy.


    Maxwell had always respected his wife and had never embarrassed her in front of others. It seemed


    that at that time, he was very angry with her as well. Seeing the incidents unfolding before their eyes,


    the others became more cautious. Ivy felt suffocated as she didn''t know what to do. Finally, she broke


    her silence and ordered, "Sell out all the servants and maids working in Chelsea''s house. Seal up her


    house and yard. Get her dead body out of the water and throw it to the mass grave."


    "Yes, My Lady."


    Ivy felt extremely uneasy. At this sensitive moment, she didn''t want more misdeeds happening in their


    n. Now, Francis was greatly favored by the emperor as he saved thetter''s life. The emperor


    seemed inclined to bring Francis into politics. However, Felix was deeply rooted in the imperial court


    and had the support of many courtiers. But, Maxwell belonged to the emperor''s faction. The recent


    incidents unveiling in their mansion made her feel that everything was a bit too coincident. It was not


    long ago that another of Maxwell''s concubines had fallen into the water and drowned due to herBelongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    carelessness. What happened today to Chelsea was due to her treachery. But it was ironic that the


    cause of death was simr in the case of both the deaths. With all these thoughts in mind, Ivy had an


    intense feeling of negativity. But she tried tofort herself by believing that she was thinking too


    much unnecessarily.


    After returning to her own room, she began to cough again. However, this time, she coughed up blood.


    Seeing the blood on her handkerchief, the maid got very scared. Everybody knew that hemoptysis was


    serious and was an obvious sign of dying. She wondered why Ivy had such a symptom at this young


    age.


    The patient was scared too. She never thought that her sickness would be this severe. She ordered the


    maid, "Call the physician in the mansion... No, not now. Let''s wait until daybreak. You can say that I''m


    not feeling well and want the physician to examine me."


    "Yes, My Lady."


    "Make sure that no onees to know about me vomiting blood," Ivy added coldly. She guessed that


    she must have too much concern recently. Thus, she tried tofort herself that she would be fine.


    At the same time, after reaching back in his study, Maxwell took out a list from a drawer and crossed


    out the name of Chelsea. The list included all the suspects from his mansion, who might have poisoned


    him. He had been getting rid of these people one by one, and had sessfully eliminated all the


    servants and guards from the list. Now, all the remaining servants and guards in his mansion were his


    men, but leftovers were the suspects among his women, and they were his next target.


    "Son, I will be able to live with you and your mother soon. It won''t be so long," Maxwell mumbled to


    himself. Then he put the list away, as cool as ever, and went to bed in his study. Tomorrow, Matthew


    and Harper would be back, which would make the imperial capital a ce devoid of peace once again.


    As long as Matthew was there, the emperor was not going to pay much attention to the happenings in


    Maxwell''s mansion. Now, what Maxwell needed the most was to cut off his wife''s connection with the


    outside world.


    Ivy was also questionable, as she had the most simr physical condition with Maxwell. As the thought


    that his wife might be the one who had poisoned and plotted against him came into his mind, he


    couldn''t help but feel depressed. But when the thought of his son and his true lover came into his mind,


    he suddenly cheered up.


    At the same time, there were also some other people who had a sleepless night. Felix couldn''t sleep as


    he was thinking about Francis, who had saved their father, risking his own life. The emperor had


    always favored Francis. Moreover, Francis'' health had greatly improved, and he was able to walk


    without a wheelchair. Thus, he became a big threat to Felix.


    Matthew''s return was supposed to be a good thing for him. However, Felix felt quite worried at the


    thought of the tricks he had yed against Matthew. After all, he knew the sheer capability of his uncle.


    If his uncle found out what he had done, he was never going to help him again, and this worried him.


    After the copse of Hoffman, Felix had had the ardent belief that none of his father''s other progeny


    would be able topete against him, and the Bright Dynasty would be the apple in his hand. But now,


    to his surprise, Francis became his tough contender. The problem was that the emperor had a special


    love for Francis right from his childhood, thanks to thetter''s poor health, and now he saved the


    emperor from danger. The emperor seemed like he wanted to give all the best things to him. Earlier, he


    hadn''t considered Francis as his heir because of his poor health; now he seemed willing to give the


    whole country to him after his health had greatly improved.


    The more Felix thought about this, the more frightened he became. He even regretted some of his


    previous actions. His only hope was Matthew not finding out about his role in the incident in the River


    City. Otherwise, his uncle would never let him go. After all, everyone knew that his uncle dotted on his


    wife so much.
