Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Leia spun armand to face Noelle Feeling guilty , she accused , her voice rising a few notches .
Noelle , are you trying to defend the murderers ? How can you let Dad down like thist Hes been so good to you , yet you want to let the culprits get away with it ! Noelle retorted sharply .
No , Im raising questions to find the real murderer Hey , what do you mean ? Leia choked out , taken aback .
Noelle continued , During the power outage last night , the surveillance dulut capture whether anyone went to the kitchery Maria claimed she went to check the circuit with the electrician .
Maybe someone took that opportunity to poisom Dad At Noelles words , Leias guilt intensified .
She was the one who had used the power outage as a cover to poison Vincent .
But there was no way she could admit it .
Her face twitched as she said , Noelle , the power outage was so brief .
How could anyone have used that time to prison him Its obvious that Maria and her husband , harboring resentment against Dad , are the ones who poisoned him .
Maria , feeling cornered by Leias insistence , exploded in anger .
Leia , thats going too far .
Youre the one who should be suspected What do you mean ? Leias face turned pale ..
Maria shouted , Ever since Noelle came back , youve been nothing but jealous and discontented .
Mr.
Anderson scolded you just a few days ago .
Your motive is far stronger than ours .
Shut up ! Leias face turned beet red with rage .
She gritted her teeth and said , Youre lying .
How could I poison Dad They raised me for over a decade .
How could I poison my own father out of a little resentment ? Besides , weve already reconciled .
How dare you slander me ? Ill sue you for defamation .
Maria , intimidated by Leias threat , wilted again and began to cry , claiming they were wronged .
At that moment , Eli chimed in , Its true that we cant rule out the possibility that someone poisoned him during the power outage .
But that widens the pool of suspects and makes it harder to investigate .
Curlie added . Weve already determined that the poison Dad was given is a controlled substance , right ! Its not something an ordinary person can get their hands on .
I heard from Bennett that this drug is strictly regulated and requires real name registration for purchase Seeing everyone starting to doubt her , Leia , fearing she would be the next suspect , forced an awkward smile and said , Hey , I knew it .
Bennett is a doctor .
He should have access to those drugs , right ? Eli glanced at Lela and said , So , you think Bennett poisoned Dad ? I ..
I didnt say that Leia shrank back , lowering her voice .
But Bennett does have the easiest access to the drugs .
Besides , Bennett is kind of eccentric .
Sometimes I have no idea what hes thinking To protect herself , Leia was ready to abandon Hennen , even though he had been the kindest to her at the moment .
Damon , however , spoke up .
Thats impossible .
When Maria was preparing the drugs , Bennett was with me the whole time .
He didnt have a chance to poison Dad .
Is that so ! Leia forced another awkward sanile .
Damon , Im just pointing out that he had access to the drugs .
I didnt say Bennett was the murderer .
Dont misunderstand me Eli shot her a cold look and said sarcastically , Good thing Bennett nett isnt here right now , or hed be heartbroken to hear this Elis side remark made Leia feel wronged .
She couldnt help but lower her head , feeling wronged .
Why does Eli always target me ? What have i done to offend lum she thought to herself For a moment , everyone was at an impasse .
Althat moment , Kimberly rushed back in .
As soon as she reached the doorway , she demanded fiercely .
I heard you found the murderer .
Who is Mom , youre back ! Leia quickly approached Kimberly and said , Maria and her husband was acting suspiciously in the kitchen , lifting the lid .
did it .
We just We just checked the surveillance .
Marias husband 1/2 Chapter 212 Our investigation revealed that theyve been dissatisfied with the Anderson family for a long time , thinking their wages were too low .
They harbored resentment against Dad and wanted to get back at him .
At this , Kimberlys gaze immediately fell on Maria and her husband .
Maria and her husband burst into tears , protesting their innocence .
Mrs.
Anderson , it wasnt us .
Weve worked for the Anderson family for nearly a decade , always behaving well .
How could we poison anyone ! Leia is framing us .
Lela gritted her teeth .
At a time like this , you still want to lie your way our Kimberly cast a cold glance at Maria , her usual gentleness gone .
She asked in a chilling voice , Maria , did you really poison him ? Mrs.
Anderson , no , it wasnt us Maria wailed miserably .
Anger flaring .
Maria cursed fiercely .
It really wasnt us .
Who the hell is framming us ? Damn you to hell ! Ill tear you aparflimb by limb ! Youll never see the light of day again ! May you rot in the deepest pit of despair , you son of a bitch ! Upon hearing Marias wild cursing .
Lets face turned ashen with rage .
She trembled all over , unable to control her agitation , and screeched , Take these two to the police station .
Execute them .
People like them deserve to die .
Leia ? Seeing gotten into you ? ng Leia more agitated than her .
Kimberly quickly moved to restrain her .
Calm down .
Whats go Leia realized she was overreacting and immediately burst into tears .
Mom .
Im just so furious . Maria and her husband poisoned Dad , but they refuse to admit it .
Theyre outrageous .
Every time I think about Dad lying in the hospital bed , I cant bear in Its okay .
Dont worry .
Your dad has woken up .
Though hes still very weak , at least hes out of danger , said Kimberly Really ! Mom , Im so relieved Lela covered her face with her hands , tears streaming down in a mixture of joy and relief .
Kimberly turned back to Maria and her husband and ordered sternly .
Take them to the police station No.
Mrs.
Anderson , it really wasnt us Maria cried out again , terrified at the prospect of being taken to the police station .
At that moment , Noelle stepped forward and said to Kimberly , Mom , I think this whole thing is fishy .
The culprits might not be Maria .
I suggest we investigate further what happened during the power outage .
During the power outage Kimberly was taken aback Before Kimberly could fully grasp the situation , Lela snapped at Noelle , Noelle ! Why are you trying to protect Maria and her husband ! Its obvious theyre the poisoners , but you insist theres someone else .
What are you even trying to do ? Noelle gave Leia a cold stare and retorted , Because I dont want Dads poisoning to remain a mystery .
Hey , Leia , arent you overreacting a bit ? No.
Leia was left speechless once again .
She sniffed back her tears , which rolled down her cheeks , and said with a sense of grievance , Im just worried about Dad .
Now that weve found the culprits .
Em angry , and thats why Im so emotional .
Whats wrong with that ? Noelle , I know youre cold hearted .
Im worried about him , and thats why I cant control my emotions .
Isnt that normal ! Seeing Leia still pretending ! Noelle felt a lump of frustration in her chest and decided not to hold back any longer .
She confronted Leia directly .
Then can you explain why you down there when the lights went out ? As soon as Noelle spoke , all eyes in the room turned to Leia .
