Chapter 367 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets
Seeing Lucy in a daze, Michelle shouted at her unhappily, “Lucy, I told you to put the bowl away. Didn’t you hear me?” Preston
had called the police. If the police found out that there was something wrong with the medicine soup, Michelle was worried that
the police might identify them as the culprits by following the clues Lucy was about to clean up the table when Preston said in a
cold voice, “Why are you so anxious to clean this up? Do you have a guilty conscience?” When he had told Annalise about her
grandmother’s symptoms over the phone earlier on, Annalise had asked him to help the old lady induce vomiting and kept some
of the medicine. She was going to run a test on it. Therefore, the bowl was very important to them. Preston didn’t put it away
because he wanted to lure the perpetrator out. and see how Lucy, Jared, and the rest would react. Instead of taking the bowl
away, Lucy kept crying. Preston thought, “She is either so mentally strong that she could remain calm after poisoning someone.
“Or, she really doesn’t know anything. “Lucy has been cooking and feeding the medicine soup to Grandma personally. “She
hasn’t let anyone else do the work. “She has many opportunities to hurt Grandma. Why wait until now? “If it isn’t Lucy, how did
the perpetrator swap the medicine without her knowing?” Preston decided that he would keep sounding them out until he found
answers to all his questions. Hearing Preston’s words, Michelle said awkwardly, “Preston, what are you talking about? I just want
to keep the place clean.” “When the police come here to investigate, they’ll expect everything in the scene to be in situ, not after
cleaning,” Preston said. “Jonathan Woods didn’t cure your grandmother and she has a relapse now. Don’t say it as if everything
is a conspiracy. If someone in the family really want to harm your grandmother,
would she have survived until now?” Jared rebuked Preston unhappily. He raised his Eyebrows and looked at his son. “Aren’t
you going to send your grandmother to the hospital?” Preston replied calmly, “Lina has sent Grandma t the hospital. As the head
of the Blake family, I certainly have to stay here and wait for the police.” “You’re the head of the Blake family? Then, what am I?
I’m not dead yet.” Jared was so infuriated by this defiant brat. “Grandma has left the Blake family in my hand. Also, it’s stated in
her will that this main building of the Blake Residence is mine,” Preston said.
“You... Ha, I got it. I guess you know very well why your grandmother has become like this.” Jared was so angry that he threw
the old lady’s coat onto the couch. He sat down and crossed his legs. “Let’s wait for the police then. I also want to know who is
that heartless and cold-blooded jerk that wants my mother’s life,” Jared had nothing to be afraid of. He was not the one who went
to buy the medicinal ingredients and gave it to his mother. Never once had he touched the medicine. He had bribed the
employee in the drugstore and told him to avoid the surveillance cameras when he gave Lucy the medicine. In other words, no
one could that the two fake medicinal prove ingredients came from the drugstore.
“I can just say Lucy secretly swapped the medicine. “Why did she do that? Because Preston told her to. “Mom has been fine all
the while. But something happened to her not long after he has been back. What a coincidence.” The more Jared thought about
it, the more reasonable it seemed. Thus, he became calmer. Soon, an approaching siren was heard and a police car arrived at
the Blake Residence. A few police officers went into the house. “Hello, who called the police?” The leader was a police officer in
his thirties. He looked at Preston and asked, “What has happened?” Seeing the horrifying bloodstains on the carpet, he asked
again, “Whose blood is that?” “My grandma. She suddenly vomited blood after taking the medicine. I suspect that someone is
trying to kill her,” Preston said. “Captain Leigh, there’s a bowl of tradition medicine here,” a police officer said. The captain asked
Preston, “Did she drink this bowl of medicine?” Preston nodded. “Take it back for testing,” said Captain Leigh. A police officer
immediately took the bowl away. “Who brewed the medicine? Who fed it to your grandma?” Captain Leigh asked. “It’s... me,”
Lucy raised her hand and said. She was panicking. But it wasn’t because of guilt.
Instead, she was afraid that she would be made the scapegoat while the bad guy got away with it and continued to find an
opportunity to harm Madam Blake. She could die for the old lady, but she could not take the blame for the perpetrator. “Sir, I did
cook the medicine and give it to the old lady, but I really didn’t poison her,” Lucy immediately explained. Captain Leigh glanced at
Preston. Preston nodded slightly. Captain Leigh said sternly to Lucy, “Come to the police station with us to give a statement.” “I...
Alright, I’ll go with you.” Lucy gritted her teeth. Afterward, Captain Leigh and his men had a conversation with Preston, Jared,
and other servants, asking them questions such as who cooked for Madam Blake. And apart from the medicine,
whether anyone had given the old lady anything else that day. The servants waved their hands and denied it. It was Lucy who
took care of the old lady’s daily life. While they were responsible for cleaning the rooms and cooking for others. Jared said that
he came to see his mother every day and he lived in another building, but Lianne had been staying with the old lady. In addition,
Preston just came back a few days ago. He was paving the way for his setup later. After the routine questioning ended, the
police sealed the old lady’s and Lucy’s room with Preston’s permission. Then, they brought the bowl and Lucy back to the police
station. Jared stood up and said, “I’ll go to the hospital to see my mom.” With that, he left the house.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he called the head of a media outlet he was familiar with and asked that person to report
the sensational news after Preston regained his memory, he forces Madam Blake to make a will with poison and steals Blake
Corporation. Three hours later... The news spread like wildfire, completely overshadowing the news of Preston obtaining 60% of
the shares of Blake Corporation. The netizens were bashing Preston. “Go to hell!” “Ahhh, this is horrible. He wants to murder his
own grandmother. He’s an ill-bred animal that lacks mother’s teaching.” “What a hypocritical scum! He looks like a gentleman.
Unexpectedly, he did such a thing.” “This is outrageous. Let’s curse him to death!”
“There is no divine justice. Madam Blake raised them up, didn’t she? Now that he’s back, he wants to harm the old lady for
personal gain. Why wasn’t he killed in the car accident back then?” “That’s right. He should be a retard for the rest of his life. This
is so unfair. I’m pissed!” Looking at all kinds of abuse and insults hurled on the Internet, Lianne couldn’t take it anymore. She
found Preston in the corridor of the ward. Seeing that Preston was watching the news, she immediately covered his phone and
said sorrowfully, “Preston, don’t read the news” Preston looked at his sister firmly and said, “It doesn’t matter. Let them. They can
scold me as hard as they could. When I found the perpetrator, they will all be my weapons.” “But Preston, when will we catch the
perpetrator?” Lianne was anxious. She didn’t mind if others insult her, but she was extremely upset when others condemned her
brother.
