Chapter 367 Uncovering My Wifeâs Secrets Seeing Lucy in a daze, Michelle shouted at her unhappily, âLucy, I told you to put the bowl away. Didnât you hear me?â Preston had called the police. If the police found out that there was something wrong with the medicine soup, Michelle was worried that the police might identify them as the culprits by following the clues Lucy was about to clean up the table when Preston said in a cold voice, âWhy are you so anxious to clean this up? Do you have a guilty conscience?â When he had told Annalise about her grandmotherâs symptoms over the phone earlier on, Annalise had asked him to help the old lady induce vomiting and kept some of the medicine. She was going to run a test on it. Therefore, the bowl was very important to them. Preston didnât put it away because he wanted to lure the perpetrator out.
and see how Lucy, Jared, and the rest would react. Instead of taking the bowl away, Lucy kept crying.
Preston thought, âShe is either so mentally strong that she could remain calm after poisoning someone.
âOr, she really doesnât know anything. âLucy has been cooking and feeding the medicine soup to Grandma personally. âShe hasnât let anyone else do the work. âShe has many opportunities to hurt Grandma. Why wait until now? âIf it isnât Lucy, how did the perpetrator swap the medicine without her knowing?â Preston decided that he would keep sounding them out until he found answers to all his questions. Hearing Prestonâs words, Michelle said awkwardly, âPreston, what are you talking about? I just want to keep the place clean.â âWhen the police come here to investigate, theyâll expect everything in the scene to be in situ, not after cleaning,â Preston said. âJonathan Woods didnât cure your grandmother and she has a relapse now. Donât say it as if everything is a conspiracy. If someone in the family really want to harm your grandmother, would she have survived until now?â Jared rebuked Preston unhappily. He raised his Eyebrows and looked at his son. âArenât you going to send your grandmother to the hospital?â Preston replied calmly, âLina has sent Grandma tá» the hospital. As the head of the Blake family, I certainly have to stay here and wait for the police.â âYouâre the head of the Blake family? Then, what am I? Iâm not dead yet.â
Jared was so infuriated by this defiant brat. âGrandma has left the Blake family in my hand. Also, itâs stated in her will that this main building of the Blake Residence is mine,â Preston said.
âYou⦠Ha, I got it. I guess you know very well why your grandmother has become like this.â Jared was so angry that he threw the old ladyâs coat onto the couch. He sat down and crossed his legs. âLetâs wait for the police then. I also want to know who is that heartless and cold-blooded jerk that wants my motherâs life,â Jared had nothing to be afraid of. He was not the one who went to buy the medicinal ingredients and gave it to his mother. Never once had he touched the medicine. He had bribed the employee in the drugstore and told him to avoid the surveillance cameras when he gave Lucy the medicine. In other words, no one could that the two fake medicinal prove ingredients came from the drugstore.
âI can just say Lucy secretly swapped the medicine. âWhy did she do that? Because Preston told her to.
âMom has been fine all the while. But something happened to her not long after he has been back.
What a coincidence.â The more Jared thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Thus, he became calmer. Soon, an approaching siren was heard and a police car arrived at the Blake Residence. A few police officers went into the house. âHello, who called the police?â The leader was a police officer in his thirties. He looked at Preston and asked, âWhat has happened?â Seeing the horrifying bloodstains on the carpet, he asked again, âWhose blood is that?â âMy grandma. She suddenly vomited blood after taking the medicine. I suspect that someone is trying to kill her,â Preston said. âCaptain Leigh, thereâs a bowl of tradition medicine here,â a police officer said. The captain asked Preston, âDid she drink this bowl of medicine?â Preston nodded. âTake it back for testing,â said Captain Leigh. A police officer immediately took the bowl away. âWho brewed the medicine? Who fed it to your grandma?â Captain Leigh asked. âItâs⦠me,â Lucy raised her hand and said. She was panicking. But it wasnât because of guilt.
Instead, she was afraid that she would be made the scapegoat while the bad guy got away with it and continued to find an opportunity to harm Madam Blake. She could die for the old lady, but she could not take the blame for the perpetrator. âSir, I did cook the medicine and give it to the old lady, but I really didnât poison her,â Lucy immediately explained. Captain Leigh glanced at Preston. Preston nodded slightly. Captain Leigh said sternly to Lucy, âCome to the police station with us to give a statement.â âIâ¦
Alright, Iâll go with you.â Lucy gritted her teeth. Afterward, Captain Leigh and his men had a conversation with Preston, Jared, and other servants, asking them questions such as who cooked for Madam Blake. And apart from the medicine, whether anyone had given the old lady anything else that day. The servants waved their hands and denied it. It was Lucy who took care of the old ladyâs daily life. While they were responsible for cleaning the rooms and cooking for others. Jared said that he came to see his mother every day and he lived in another building, but Lianne had been staying with the old lady. In addition, Preston just came back a few days ago. He was paving the way for his setup later. After the routine questioning ended, the police sealed the old ladyâs and Lucyâs room with Prestonâs permission. Then, they brought the bowl and Lucy back to the police station. Jared stood up and said, âIâll go to the hospital to see my mom.â With that, he left the house.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he called the head of a media outlet he was familiar with and asked that person to report the sensational news after Preston regained his memory, he forces Madam Blake to make a will with poison and steals Blake Corporation. Three hours later⦠The news spread like wildfire, completely overshadowing the news of Preston obtaining 60% of the shares of Blake Corporation. The netizens were bashing Preston. âGo to hell!â âAhhh, this is horrible. He wants to murder his own grandmother. Heâs an ill-bred animal that lacks motherâs teaching.â âWhat a hypocritical scum! He looks like a gentleman. Unexpectedly, he did such a thing.â âThis is outrageous. Letâs curse him to death!â
âThere is no divine justice. Madam Blake raised them up, didnât she? Now that heâs back, he wants to harm the old lady for personal gain. Why wasnât he killed in the car accident back then?â âThatâs right.
He should be a retard for the rest of his life. This is so unfair. Iâm pissed!â Looking at all kinds of abuse and insults hurled on the Internet, Lianne couldnât take it anymore. She found Preston in the corridor of the ward. Seeing that Preston was watching the news, she immediately covered his phone and said sorrowfully, âPreston, donât read the newsâ Preston looked at his sister firmly and said, âIt doesnât matter. Let them. They can scold me as hard as they could. When I found the perpetrator, they will all be my weapons.â âBut Preston, when will we catch the perpetrator?â Lianne was anxious. She didnât mind if others insult her, but she was extremely upset when others condemned her brother.
