From Quiz Count of Monte Cristo

Answer: Morcerf, Danglars, and Caderousse

It would be these three who would lock up Edmond. Morcerf's (real name Fernand Mondega) motive was jealousy and treachery. He coveted Edmond's fiancee Mercedes, and made himself rich off of Edmond's money, bankrupting their employer Max Morrel. Fernand would pay for his crimes because not only is he guilty of coveting, he is guilty of treason, theft, and murder. Danglars' was Edmond's best friend and second mate on his ship. He was jealous of his captain and made himself rich by stealing from the poor. His motive was greed, and it would also lead to his downfall.

Answer: Milady poisoned me

Constance was the innocent victim of an evil plot. Wanting to intimidate d'Artagnan, who had ruined his plans, Richelieu ordered the kidnapping of Constance Bonacieux, the musketeer's sweetheart. He had her imprisoned in Mantes. Thanks to the queen, who cared for Constance and managed to obtain a written order from the king, the girl was taken to the Monastery in Bethune. But fate brought Milady in the same place. Having the chance to get revenged at d'Artagnan whom she hated from all her heart, Milady tricked Madame Bonacieux. She told her that the Cardinal had sent his guards after her and that she had to leave immediately. When the sound of galloping horses was aproaching the monastery, Milady said: "It's the cardinal's guards. Let's run away !". Actually, it was d'Artagnan who was coming to see his dear Constance. Madame Bonacieux, with all the excitement, no longer had the courage to run away. Her feet melted and she fell on her knees. To end her revenge, Milady gave her a poisoned drink, telling her that it was actually an invigorating potion. Constance Bonacieux died in poor d'Artagnan's arms.
