Chapter 798
Melody Fox and Ken Swanson looked at each other and quickly exchanged glances.
A moment later, Melody looked in a certain direction and nodded almost imperceptibly.
The next second, Lucy Colt, Margaret Swanson’s personal servant, walked out from an inconspicuous corner.
“Sir, Old Mrs Margaret, I have something… I don’t know if I should say it.”
Ramon Swanson saw that she was just an inconspicuous servant and did not take her seriously at all. He frowned and said, “Let’s talk about it later. The most important thing now is to investigate the poisoner.”
However, Margaret Swanson knew that Lucy Colt was not a person who did not know her priorities. Not only that, but she was even calmer than her.
She must have something important to report, which was why she stood up at that time.
“Old Liang, what’s the matter? Speak!”
Since Margaret Swanson had spoken, Ramon Swanson could not say anything. He could only look up at Lucy Colt.
Astrid Swanson looked at Lucy Colt who walked out and felt inexplicably nervous.
Her people had done a very clean job with the cake. She was not afraid of being investigated.
But Lucy Colt… What was she trying to say?!
Astrid Swanson’s hands, which were hidden in her sleeves, calmed down a little. Now, they began to tremble uncontrollably.
Lucy Colt stood nervously in the middle of the living room. She deliberately did not look at Melody. She only looked at Ramon Swanson and Margaret Swanson and said, “Margaret Swanson caught a cold at the funeral. Ever since he came back, he has been taking medicine to recuperate…” Ramon Swanson nodded, indicating that he knew about this.
Lucy Colt continued, “It’s just that for the past few days, I don’t know what happened. Every time I wanted to brew the medicine, someone would send me away. I didn’t think too much about it and only thought that it was a coincidence. But until today, after the incident with Young Madam, I kept feeling that something was wrong…”
Astrid Swanson’s heart skipped a beat and her face instantly turned pale.
Ulric Swanson saw this and immediately guessed what was going on.
Astrid Swanson, his incompetent mother actually wanted to attack Margaret Swanson!
Ulric Swanson’s heart was filled with disappointment. He wished he could scold Astrid Swanson now.
He had clearly said countless times that they could not make any decisions on their own, let alone do anything behind his back.
In the end, his words were ignored!
Ulric Swanson felt like there was a ball of fire burning in his heart. He was furious.
However, right now, the only thing he could do was pretend to block Astrid Swanson unintentionally to prevent Ramon Swanson and the others from noticing the abnormality in her expression.
Ramon Swanson originally thought that Lucy Colt would not be able to say anything big, but now, his expression has become uglier and uglier.
Therefore, the poisoning might not be targeted at him, but at Margaret Swanson.
Margaret Swanson had always been amiable and did not make any enemies. The person who wanted to harm her… was probably one of her own.
Ramon Swanson’s gaze immediately swept across the entire living room. His gaze swept across everyone present.
However, Ulric Swanson’s station blocked Astrid Swanson, so he did not notice Astrid Swanson’s strange pale face.
He retracted his gaze and looked at Lucy Colt again. “What exactly happened? Tell me clearly!”
Lucy Colt quickly repeated the “coincidence” of the past few days in detail.
“About three days ago, when I was brewing the medicine, I happened to remember that I didn’t pick up the delivery from Margaret Swanson, so I turned on the heater to pick up the delivery. When I came back, I saw a servant walking out of the kitchen.”
“The next day, after I was sent away, I came back and saw the servant walking out of the kitchen… But after asking around, I said that no one had arranged for him to work in the kitchen. I felt that something was wrong, but because I didn’t have conclusive evidence, I didn’t dare to tell anyone.”
“On the Foxth day, which was last night, I was especially careful. I secretly placed my phone in the kitchen to record and walked out…”
When Astrid Swanson heard this, his eyelids twitched violently, and his hands clenched into fists out of anger. Video recording!
This old fart actually dared to record it!
“Where’s the recording?!” Ramon Swanson hurriedly asked.
“I was so busy last night that I forgot to check the recording in time… Please wait a moment, I’ll find it.”
Lucy Colt said as he clicked on his phone.
Astrid Swanson panicked and subconsciously wanted to step forward to stop Lucy Colt.
However, Ulric Swanson knew what she was thinking and immediately pulled her back.
“Are you crazy? Don’t act rashly!”
His voice was very soft, but it still attracted Ramon Swanson’s suspicious gaze.
Ulric Swanson immediately kept quiet and let go of Astrid Swanson’s hand.
However, after this incident, Astrid Swanson no longer dared to act recklessly.
Lucy Colt also found the video on the phone and handed it to Ramon Swanson.
Ramon Swanson clicked on the play button, and Margaret Swanson quickly came over to watch.
The angle of the video was facing the stove where the medicine was being brewed.
Not long after Lucy Colt left, a servant sneaked to the stove and quickly took out a small porcelain bottle from his pocket. Then, he quickly poured the powder in the porcelain bottle into Margaret Swanson’s herbal medicine.
In less than half a minute, the process was completely recorded by the phone.
The face of the person who poured the powder was also clearly captured.
Margaret Swanson gasped.
“Old Liang, why didn’t you tell me about this earlier? Why did you only tell me now?”
Lucy Colt said with a guilty expression, “I’m afraid I’m overthinking and causing everyone to panic. But Mrs. Margaret Swanson, don’t worry. After I felt that something was wrong, although the medicine was brewed, I didn’t dare to give it to you in the end. I secretly poured it into the potted plant in the room.”
When Margaret Swanson heard this, her tense nerves relaxed a little, but then she was filled with anger.
“Who is trying to harm me?! Who is this servant?!”
Ramon Swanson was much calmer. He pointed at the servant’s face on the phone screen and asked Lucy Colt.
“The servant you saw in the kitchen two days ago. Is that him?”
Lucy Colt narrowed his eyes and immediately nodded. “It’s him, it’s him!”
“Bring him to me!”
As soon as he finished speaking before the people from Ramon Swanson could compare their faces, a person in the group of servants was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a bang.
Everyone immediately looked over.
The person kneeling on the ground was the servant who had placed something in the herbal medicine in the video. The servant was so frightened that his lips turned purple. He seemed to have come out of the water and was covered in sweat.
Ramon Swanson’s bodyguards took a few steps forward and directly dragged the person who was almost limp in front of Ramon Swanson.
“Tell me the truth!” the leader of the bodyguards ordered.
Ulric Swanson’s heart tightened. He looked at his mother worriedly and saw that Astrid Swanson was calm as if he was not afraid that the other party would betray her.
Seeing how calm Astrid Swanson was, Ulric Swanson’s anxious heart eased a little.
It seemed that this person had something on her and would not give it up easily.
As long as this guy could survive until now, he would have a chance to get Jennie Taylor to poison him to death. There would not be a day when the truth would be revealed.
