Mistaken Match: Marrying the Enigmatic CEO by Ruby Fennimore

Chapter 714
In just thirty seconds, Jonathan’s face gradually turned purplish-blue, his
body started convulsing violently, his teeth chattered loudly, and his whole
body was drenched in a cold sweat. It was evident he was enduring
immense pain.
Emmanuel’s brows furrowed as he tried to figure out what was happening.
He had noticed the trailing earlier in the day; he should have shaken them
off. Could this poisoning be aimed at me?
“Ah! Someone really did poison us!” Screams started to erupt from the crowd.
Marianne and Tia looked at Emmanuel in horror. He predicted the poisoning
before anyone else! How could he have such capability?!
“Save me... Please save me!” Jonathan gazed pleadingly at Emmanuel, whom
he believed had a cure to this poisoning since he predicted it.
“Sorry? Save you?” Emmanuel feigned surprise. “Mr. Verkade, didn’t you just
say a moment ago that you could self-cure even if poisoned? Well then,
please start your performance!”
Jonathan felt like he was on the verge of death! He was in such excruciating
pain that it felt like his organs were being twisted. How could he possibly
self-cure?!
He regretted being so arrogant earlier.

Indeed, those who act overly proud often end up in misfortune.
At this point, more and more people began collapsing, and in just a few
minutes, seven or eight people in the restaurant clutched their bellies and fell
in agony.
Meanwhile, those who weren’t affected by the poison were trembling in fear,
feeling utterly helpless.
“What’s going on?” The commotion in the restaurant quickly alerted Eleanor.
As the head manager, she immediately rushed over with her staff to assess
the situation, but even she had never experienced such a bizarre and
horrifying scene before.
Still, Eleanor drew from her work experience and quickly organized her staff.
“Call an ambulance!” she ordered. “And you! Go to Suite 888 and find Dr.
Gomez!”
With that, A waiter immediately ran toward Suite 888.
Eleanor tried her best to remain calm, but deep down, she was also
panicking. She couldn’t understand how some of her customers had been
affected while others seemed perfectly fine.
Can it be that only those who ate a certain dish or drank a specific drink were
poisoned?
With this thought in mind, she quickly ordered, “You guys, gather all the water

and food on the tables!”
“Yes, Ms. Eleanor!” Several staff members immediately took action.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel went over to Tia and her mother to inquire about what
they had eaten and drunk earlier.
Amidst the chaos, he was the only one silently analyzing the situation.
Soon, Juan hurriedly entered the restaurant lobby.
Eleanor quickly approached him, saying, “Dr. Gomez, it seems that these
people are suffering from food poisoning.”
“I don’t think so!” Juan immediately denied her guess.
Eleanor was taken aback. Juan hadn’t even started diagnosing, and he had
already denied her speculation!
Many people around had heard of Juan from Beacon Hospital. Learning that
he was a renowned physician and fortunate enough to have him present in
the restaurant, everyone felt relieved.
“Can Dr. Gomez diagnose a patient’s condition with just a glance?”
“If that’s the case, he’s truly amazing!”
“He really lives up to his reputation as the legendary physician of Yeringham!”
People marveled and whispered to each other.
However, Juan paid no attention to these comments. He quickly approached
the nearest person who had been poisoned, only for Emmanuel to warn him

with a frown. “Don’t touch him, or you’ll be poisoned too!”
What?!
Everyone was shocked beyond words. Emmanuel’s statement further
intensified the panic among the crowd.
