Chapter 198: Chapter 198

“Justin! What do you mean by this? Are you going to lock us down? Are you treating us as suspects?!”

Shannon was afraid that the matter would be exposed if this continued, so she strongly opposed the

lockdown.

“Aunt Shannon, you’re not suspects. I just want you all to cooperate with me in eliminating the scum

hiding in the mansion.”

Justin’s dark eyes were more intimidating than Gregory’s. “If you didn’t do anything wrong, you

shouldn’t fret or have any objections to this.”

“Right!”

Nigel said angrily, “We will never tolerate such a shameful act! We must get to the bottom of it and give

Anna and Mr. Thompson an explanation!”

Bethany was so flustered that her teeth chattered. Shannon was also speechless.

“Mr. Salvador!”

At this time, Ian came with two bodyguards and the maid in tow.

The bodyguards threw the maid to the floor. The maid’s legs became weak, and she fell in front of

everyone.

“Fortunately, you gave the order in time. I took the surveillance footage and blocked the front and back

doors. Sure enough, this woman was sneaking around and trying to crawl out of the dog hole in the

garden. I caught her red-handed.”

Bella was shocked.

When did Justin realize something was wrong? He was so quick to act.

“Tsk! She’s basically confessing to her crimes by doing this.”

Ryan stared at the maid with sharp eyes. “What else is there to interrogate? Who in their right mind

would go through a dog hole?”

“We must interrogate her.”

Justin’s dark eyes were like glaciers. “I want to catch the person who put the bait.”

“Mr. Salvador… I have an emergency at home. All the doors are locked, so I have no choice but to

crawl out through the garden… I didn’t do anything… I don’t know anything!” The maid quivered.

“I remember you were the one who served us drinks earlier,” Ryan said.

“You were also the one who asked me to go to the room to take care of my eldest brother,” Bella added

coldly.

“Mr. Salvador, I’ve checked the surveillance footage. No one interacted with her from the pantry to the

banquet hall. That means no one except her touched the drinks on your table.” Ian added his

suspicions.

“But this doesn’t mean that I spiked the drinks…” The maid was sweating profusely and struggling to

breathe.

“Huh? That’s weird.”

Bella tilted her head and blinked her shrewd eyes. “We didn’t tell you what happened. How did you

know that someone spiked the drinks?”

Everyone looked at the maid with a complicated and suspicious gaze.

“I… I heard it when I came here…” The maid’s face turned red with embarrassment.

“You heard it? Do you have super hearing?”

Ian could not bear to listen to her explanation. He took out his phone and clicked on the surveillance

footage. Then he handed it to Justin. “Mr. Salvador, I checked the surveillance footage for this woman’s

movements. It’s true that we couldn’t see that she had spiked the drinks.”

))

When the maid heard this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Bethany also let out a sigh of relief.

“But I found this.”

Justin held the phone. Bella was curious and came over to take a look.

The man subconsciously leaned toward her.

Their foreheads suddenly collided, and they both looked up. Bella felt burned by Justin’s intense gaze,

so she pursed her lips and lowered her eyes.

Justin’s long eyelashes trembled slightly. Inexplicably, he felt a burning desire in his heart.

On the screen, the maid looked left and right by the trash can in the backyard before discarding the

empty vials. This was captured in high definition.

“This woman had deliberately avoided the cameras in the mansion, but the backyard was dense with

greenery, so she didn’t notice that one of the cameras was blocked by the branches. That’s how we

captured the scene of her destroying the evidence on camera.”

Ian sneered. “In the end, she’s not careful enough.”

“No, no! I only threw away the medicine that I took for myself. It was just an ordinary painkiller. It was

not a drug!” The maid tried her best to argue. She would not give up.

“Ian, did you bring the evidence?” Justin ignored her and asked in a deep voice.

“Yes.”

Ian took out two vials from the plastic bag and handed them to Justin respectfully.

Justin clenched his jaw and raised the plastic bag. “There is still some residue in the vials. Take it to the

hospital for testing immediately. If the substance found isn’t painkillers, take this woman to the police

station immediately and make sure she gets punished for her crimes.’

Seeing that she was discovered, the maid cried and kneeled at Justin’s feet. “Mr. Salvador, please

spare me! I didn’t want to spike the drinks. It’s…”

The maid turned around abruptly and pointed at Bethany. “It’s Ms. Bethany’s idea! She ordered me to

do this!”
