The True Lady Strikes Back novel (Cecilia and Christopher)

Chapter 59

Although there were only seven people who might have been drugged, the private room did not have surveillance cameras, thus making it difficult to investigate.

Cecilia looked at Christopher and said, "Mr. Christopher Forte, can you help me investigate the waitress who entered and exited the private room?" The two-pronged approach would save a lot of time.

Instead of immediately agreeing, Christopher asked, "What did you call me?"

Cecilia had always treated him badly in front of others and thus must be corrected.

Cecilia met his gentle eyes and hesitated for a moment before she changed the way she addressed him. "Chris."

Smiling with satisfaction, Christopher said, "I'll investigate the waitress for you."

After he left, Yvette blinked at Cecilia and whispered, "I didn't expect Christopher to have such a side."

She thought, "He's like a child asking for candy."

Cecilia didn't answer her. "Let's finish our business first."

Yvette nodded. "What do you need me to do?"

"I'll teach you how to question them separately."

Cecilia casually called someone out of the private room, and Yvette followed.

She asked, "What were you doing while I was playing games? Who else was around, and..."

There were many questions, and the other party answered them one by one.

"Okay, I understand. You may go back to the private room first

After understanding what to ask, Yvette, too, asked someone to go to the private room next door.

In less than five minutes, they finished their questioning.

Then, they went over the answers of the seven people they questioned and began ruling people out. Yvette said, "Ceci, perhaps someone was lying?"

Cecilia pondered for a moment and said, "Either everyone is lying, or everyone is telling the truth."

Only in these two cases would their answers be flawless.

However, the former option was impossible.

Because had come over suddenly, and the people left behind were chosen arbitrarily. They did not have the chance to think it over and come up with perfect lies. Obviously, Yvette also thought of this and said affirmatively, "It was the waiter who entered and exited the private room before!"

"Not necessarily. We'll wait to hear from Christopher."

"Okay. Do we let the seven of them go?"

Cecilia nodded. "Let them go."

The seven of them were afraid that they would be suspected if they said something wrong.

When they heard that they could leave, they breathed a sigh of relief and quickly departed.

After a while, Christopher returned to the private room.

He shook his head at Cecilia and said, "There is no problem with the waiter. The problem lies with the people in the private room."

The karaoke lounge was a big industry under Yates. Corporation, and its management was very strict.

The waiters on the VIP floor, especially, were carefully selected and rigorously trained.

As for the guest room area, due to the different service types, the management of VIP floors was relatively loose.

Cecilia frowned and pondered over where it could have gone

Soon, she figured it out.

I know how the drug got into the wine."

After saying that she put the glass of fruit wine back in place. Then she took some raisins from the snack platter, stood far away, and flicked it at the cup. The raisins fell into the glass accurately.

Hence, the poisoner did not need to get close to her glass. As long as they had good enough aim, it would be fine. The previous investigation had gone in the wrong direction. Yvene had not given the matter more thought, and she also thought Cecilia was in a bad mood and played casually. She exclaimed. "Ceci, you have such good aim. Amazing!" Cecilia looked at Yvette who was amazed and asked, "Yvie, do you know any of the people who are good at throwing things?" Upon hearing this, Yvette finally realized what had happened. She nodded heavily. "Yes! It's Kenton Zabel! Throwing is his specialty, and he uses it often to attract girls."

"Is there anyone else who's good at it too?"

"I think most men are okay at it, but Kenton is the best."

Cecília knew it and looked at Yvette apologetically. "Yvie, there's something I have to deal with. Can you go home alone?" "Of course. I'll ask the staff of the karaoke lounge to drive me home. You can go ahead and no need to mind me."

The Lady Strikes Back

After saying a few words, Cecilia took the empty glass of fruit wine and left with Christopher to the nearby police station. On the way there, Cecilia investigated Kenton.

The Zabel family was not wealthy, but a scholar-gentry family instead. They have been in Quilton for over 100 years and mainly engaged in the business of literati like literature, literary arts, drawing, music, and

so on.

Moreover, the Zabel family had a good relationship with the Yancey family because Gordon was a painter and opened an art gallery while Sophia was engaged in music related to classical music. Currently, Cecilia was sure that Kenton was helping Juliana harm her.

After coming to the same conclusion, Christopher asked, “Ceci, what are you going to do?"

"An eye for an eye. I will retaliate against Kenton."

He had drugged her, wanted to shoot an indecent video, and also wanted her to get sick. Thus, Cecilia was going to give it back to Kenton the same way.

She was going to destroy Juliana's lackeys.

Christopher still felt that he had to solve the problem from the source. "Are you only going to deal with Kenton and not Juliana?"

"Of course I will, but it will take some time."

She couldn't let Juliana get off easily. Instead, she was going to torture her slowly and completely defeat her from body to heart. Looking at the killing intent in Cecilia's eyes, Christopher held her hand and said, "Do what you want. I will protect you."

Cecilia wanted to withdraw her hand, but the grip on it tightened.

When they arrived at the police station, Christopher still did not let go of her.

The police station had caught a lot of people tonight, but there were only a few on duty.

Fortunately, everyone cooperated well and confessed.

However, there were differences in what he had said that needed to be investigated and confirmed.

Cecilia handed over the cup with drug residue to the police and was taken to the interrogation room for recording.

Before answering the question, she asked about the waiter's transcript.

As a client, she had the right to know the truth. Thus, the police officers did not try to conceal it from her.

"Her name is Sasha Levington, and she has admitted that she found two sick men from the red light district to set you up."

"How did she know which room I was in? Who was pulling the strings?"

"Sasha said that the person behind the scenes was Devon, and the information was secretly sent to her by Devon using a burner phone number." Cecilia refused to believe it. She thought Devon had been tricked and had become a vicious man.

She asked again, "Did Devon admit to it?"

"Devon denied it. The situation is that both sides have no credentials and need police to investigate and collect evidence."

"It's not Devon. There is someone behind Sasha, but it's difficult to say if the police can find anything."

The police couldn't guarantee it. After all, there were a lot of outstanding cases in the world.

"We'll try our best. It would be better if Ms. Yancey could

provide us with the suspect or direction for investigation."

"I can't talk nonsense about things without evidence. Take notes first."

After finishing the transcript, Cecilia said, "Can I meet with Devon?"

She was sure that Devon had been used by Juliana, and she wanted to see if she could uncover clues about the latter from him.
