The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1841

Once we were all in the car, I leaned closer to Caleb and whispered, “Who do you think is behind the poisoning? Could it be someone from Andrew’s manor, or maybe one of Shirley’s people?”

Caleb remained silent, deep in thought.

I pressed on, “Or could it be that Veronica manipulated Shirley? Perhaps she feigned ignorance about Shirley abducting the child, but secretly orchestrated the poisoning?”

Caleb’s brow creased in concern as he replied thoughtfully, “Veronica is a conservative person.

She’s also aging, and her daughter lacks the necessary skills.

I don’t believe she’s interested in sparking a conflict between the witch clan and the Thorn Edge Pack right now, nor does she want to jeopardize her relationship with Andrew.

”

I nodded, replaceing Caleb’s reasoning sound and agreeing with him.

Caleb added, “And Shirley seemed genuinely joyful and expectant when she brought us to Abby yesterday.

It’s not like her to be so cheerful if she knew Abby had been poisoned.

”

That revelation made my heart skip.

If neither Veronica nor Shirley were responsible, then Andrew remained the only suspect.

Caleb glanced at me.

Instead of voicing his suspicions about Andrew outright, he inquired, “What will you do if it turns out Andrew is the one who harmed Abby?”

I furrowed my brow, puzzled, and responded, “But why would Andrew want to hurt Abby? Is it because he doesn’t want me reconciling with you, or because he doesn’t want me to leave the manor?”

A complex expression flickered across Caleb’s face as he fell silent.

But I was still confused.

I had recently assured Andrew that Abby would remain at the manor for the foreseeable future.

Moreover, I had no immediate plans to leave the witch clan.

So the notion of moving from the manor to Caleb’s place didn’t seem enough to provoke Andrew into harming my child.

It just didn’t add up that Andrew would have a motive to hurt Abby.

Once we confirmed that the source of the poison was someone within Andrew’s manor, a sudden thought struck me.

Nora had been Abby’s nanny throughout.

“Yes, Nora,” I blurted out.

“She was the one who drugged me before.

Could she be involved this time too?”

Caleb frowned as he mulled over this new possibility.

I went on, “Nora was the one around Abby constantly, handling all her belongings.

She recently claimed Shirley threatened her, but that doesn’t sit right with me.

”

“What do you mean?” Caleb asked.

I clarified, “Shirley may be quick-tempered, but she’s also incredibly forthright.

She genuinely despises Nora, who is a mixed- blood witch, almost to the extent of revulsion.

It’s highly unlikely Shirley would ever work together with Nora.

”

After I laid out my thoughts, Caleb gave a thoughtful nod.

“Your insights seem very sound.

Nora’s behavior has indeed been quite strange.

”

Debra’s POV:

I clutched the baby tightly in my arms, my mind racing with suspicions.

“Can you drive straight to Andrew’s manor? We need to confront Nora.

”

I had always thought I treated Nora well, saving her from Shirley’s wrath.

Yet, I couldn’t fathom why she would hurt Abby like this.

Drugging me was one thing, but she had always professed such affection for Abby, claiming she wanted to care for her forever.
