Chapter 261 A Proper Explanation
She was clearly a five-year-old child but there was an innate ferocious air coming from her.
This was especially true at the moment when she seemed to recall the night where Eudora fainted in the repentance room. Juju’s lips tightly repressed and her little face was also solemn.
Eudora George hugged Juju hurriedly, “Juju, Mommy is fine…”
“Let her stay here!” Amos Granger continued, “She is my daughter and she should be brave.”
Juju looked up at Amos. She softened her expression after being validated by Amos.
Eudora was worried that Juju would suffer in the future if she was too aggressive. However, she agreed to let Juju stay after Amos said.
The Old Master looked at Juju with satisfaction. In comparison, Juju seemed to be more resilient than Vincent Granger.
“Alright, she can stay!”
As soon as the Old Master finished, the butler immediately brought the servant into the room.
The servant, who had been poisoned and hospitalized for a few days, looked very pale. After entering, she stood in front of the Old Master and greeted, “Old Master.”
“Alright!” The Old Master nodded, “Tell me again about everything that had happened that day.”
The servant nodded and said immediately.
“I sent breakfast to Miss George as usual that day and she immediately fed it to Juju. After that, she asked me to take out the cake and throw it away. At that time, I did not understand why she wanted to throw such a good cake away. However, I did not ask. After leaving, I thought it was a pity to throw the cake away, so I had a bite. After that, I returned to work and I was poisoned…”
After the servant finished speaking, Harry immediately said, “Brother, isn’t that the same as what she said the other day?”
Old Master Granger did not say a word but this time, Amos spoke.
“Did she ask you to eat it?”
“No!” The servant shook her head, “Miss George didn’t say anything.”
“That’s right. If Eudora really had something in mind, how would she know someone else would eat the cake?”
“That’s hard to say, isn’t it?” Harry retorted. “That was such a good cake. A lot of people would be tempted to eat it!”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Uncle, are you saying that you would eat it?”
Harry’s face changed slightly, “Amos, where are your manners?”
The Old Master frowned, “Shut up!”
He then turned to the servant, “I get it. Have a good rest.”
After the servant left, Harry said, “Brother, do you have anything else to say? It’s been a whole day and if that is all, I will take my rest.”
Old Master Granger did not say a word and he merely turned to Amos. “What do you think?”
Amos smiled, “If Uncle wishes to rest, he may leave now. Besides, this has nothing to do with him, right?”
He said it in a very interesting way as though he knew that Harry had something to do with this all along.
Harry’s heart rate increased. After a pause, he said with a smile, “What are you saying? Aren’t we a family? Why are you treating me like this?”
Amos then called his assistant, who then took out a stack of things and placed them on the table.
“This is what was extracted from the cake. I’ve sent it to the lab and it was the sodium nitride inside that was poisonous.”
Old Master Granger took the report in front of him and read it carefully. His face gradually darkened.
“Tiffany, aren’t you going to give us a proper explanation?”
Tiffany’s face fell but she insisted, “What can I say? I didn’t do it.”
Amos sneered, “Sodium nitrite is an industrial salt and it could only be added while the cake was being made. Tell me, how does one add the poison after the cake was made?”
Tiffany Leon was immediately dumbfounded. After muttering for a while, she said, “You should ask the person who poisoned the cake. How would I know?”
“Are you still going to lie?” The Old Master was so angry that his face turned green. Even Harry wanted to cover his face in embarrassment. He thought that Tiffany was smart but he did not expect her to be so stupid.
“You’d better get straight to the point!” Harry said sharply, pretending to be impartial.
Tiffany also realized that she was in trouble this time, so she immediately added, “Even if she wasn’t the one who poisoned the cake, there’s no proof that I was the one who poisoned it, right? I took all the ingredients from the kitchen downstairs. How would I know which one is industrial salt? Besides, Vincent and I ate it too, but we are fine!”
She thought it was a good excuse, so she said it hurriedly.
“Someone must have bought it by mistake. We’d better check the servants quickly!”
“How dare you!” Old Master Granger slammed the table and stood up.
“Everyone in this house has worked here for many years and their credibility is higher than yours. Why should I investigate them?”
Tiffany was taken aback and she said bitterly, “Old Master, aren’t you insulting Hank this way? If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have come back here. Now, are you questioning my return?”
Amos chuckled, “No one is questioning you. We only focus on the evidence!”
After that, he raised his hand again and the assistant behind him immediately handed over another document.
“This is the purchase records of industrial salt…”
Tiffany was dumbfounded. “You’re lying. How would you even have records of these things?”
“Normally I wouldn’t, but don’t you know who I am? I am Amos Granger! Are there things that I couldn’t find out?
Tiffany was starting to get nervous. She thought the plan was foolproof but how did he find the evidence?
Eudora, who was beside them, was looking at Amos with admiration. He looked too cool and handsome right now!!!
However, she could still hold it in. After all, she was not young anymore and she could restrain herself. However, her eyes were glued to Amos happily.
Juju was different. Immediately, she broke free from Eudora’s arms and kissed Amos’ cheek excitedly. “Daddy, you are so awesome.”
Amos was surprised but he quickly stared dotingly at his daughter.
Juju was indeed a thoughtful daughter. With his daughter’s praise and his wife’s admiration, he was on cloud nine.
The Old Master next to him had a resentful look but he held it back.
Then, he reached out and took the record to have a look. As expected, he saw the record of Tiffany purchasing industrial salt. The Old Master was furious, “Is there anything else?”
Amos immediately threw out the rest of the evidence.
These included the things that she had done in the hall today and he had investigated it thoroughly.
The Old Master held the documents tightly in his hands and his face darkened. “Take this woman to the police station immediately!”
Tiffany shouted hurriedly, “I’m not going, I can’t go to the police station.”
Harry was taken aback as well. He thought that the worst thing that would happen was Tiffany being thrown out of the house but how did it end up like this? How serious could it be that she needed to be brought to the police station?
However, no one cared about Tiffany’s appeal. When Tiffany noticed that there was no way of talking herself out of trouble, she quickly turned to Harry and Kaylene.
Kaylene’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly said, “Brother, all and all, Tiffany is still Vincent’s mother. The child has just returned home. If you really do this, what will people think of this child in the future?”
