The Ultimate Beast World Glow-Up novel Chapter 172

Jewel was gasping for air, drenched in cold sweat. 

Completely unfazed, Rosalie simply picked up her spoon and ate a mouthful of rice. 

Jewel was totally confused. She watched as Rosalie calmly finished an entire plate of rice, then went to get another plate. 

Before long, the second plate was gone too, and Jewel just couldn’t figure it out. Sixto swore he had poisoned the rice himself. 

If Rosalie had discovered the truth, how could she eat so confidently? Two full plates of poisoned rice-enough to kill her on the spot. 

Jewel turned and glared at Sixto on the ground, her teeth clenched. “Sixto, how dare you betray me!” 

Sixto shook his head frantically. Suddenly, as if realizing something, he looked straight at Julien. 

It was Julien. It’s all his fault! That traitor! 

But Micah didn’t give him a chance to speak. 

Seeing Jewel so rattled and terrified, Rosalie felt completely satisfied. If you dare to scheme, then you should be prepared to face the consequences. 

Jewel knew Sixto didn’t have the guts to betray her. If Sixto really did poison the rice and Rosalie was unharmed, then Rosalie must have found out about the plan. She’d invited her here just to humiliate her. 

Her fear quickly turned into burning rage. Jewel’s eyes blazed as she glared at Rosalie. 

Rosalie held up the empty rice plate and smiled. “Sorry, we’re out of rice. And you didn’t eat any, so I guess you won’t be learning how to grow rice today. 

“But there’s still some on the floor. If you’re hungry, you can always eat that.” 

The rice on the floor was already dirty and covered in dust-only a starving beggar would bother to eat it now. 

Jewel knew Rosalie was mocking her. Furious, she turned and left, not caring about the unconscious Julien and Gael. Micah let go of Sixto, letting him leave with Jewel. 

Sixto didn’t escape punishment-he was beaten with the whip until he was covered in wounds. 

Sixto sobbed bitterly, “It was all Julien! He told me it was done, that’s the only reason I went back to report!” 

“She’s probably figured it all out already.” 

Rosalie pressed her lips together. “It’s fine. She’s angry now-that’s exactly what I need for the next step.” 

The two didn’t rest for long before Rosalie sent them out to search for Faith. She was determined to find her first. 

Rosalie hardly slept the whole night, and only drifted off for a bit around dawn. 

Suddenly, the door burst open. Rosalie jolted awake to see Declan rush in. “Matriarch, we’ve brought Faith back.” 

Rosalie got out of bed at once and hurried outside. Gael was carrying a woman on his back. Her face and body were covered in wounds, her clothes stained with blood. 

This had to be the Faith that Jewel had mentioned. 

Rosalie had Gael lay her on the bed and sent all her husbands out of the room. 

She checked Faith’s pulse and found she had only collapsed from exhaustion; her injuries were only superficial.
