Chapter 796
Astrid Swanson almost cried out in shock when her hand was suddenly grabbed.
Fortunately, she quickly realized that the person holding her hand was none other than her son, Ulric Swanson.
She quickly exhaled twice and forced herself to be calm as she asked, “Son, what’s wrong?”
Ulric Swanson frowned and stared at her. He mouthed, What exactly happened?”
How could Astrid Swanson tell the truth?
She could only force a stiff smile and pretend not to understand what Ulric Swanson said.
“Son, I’m fine. I’m not poisoned. Don’t worry…'”
Ulric Swanson could clearly feel that Astrid Swanson was hiding something from him, and this matter did not seem to be small. It might even be related to Melody being poisoned.
However, the hall was abnormally quiet at this moment. He could not ask and could only try his best to hold it in.
The veins on his forehead were bulging.
“Sir.”
A bodyguard from Ramon Swanson came in from outside and said, “There are too many tests. We need at least an hour before the results are out.”
Ramon Swanson nodded and ordered, “Before the results are out, no one is allowed to leave the manor! Call everyone in the manor over now and ask them to gather here. If they don’t come, just arrest them as suspects!”
“Yes!”
The bodyguard took the order and left.
Margaret Swanson was worried about Melody’s health.
“The others can stay, but Melody, let her go to the hospital first. Also, Ken, let him accompany Melody.”
“Yes.” Ramon Swanson naturally would not refute Margaret Swanson’s meaning.
In addition, Melody was the only one who was poisoned. She was the least suspicious. She could totally go to the hospital for treatment first.
“Take your wife to the hospital for treatment. Come back as soon as you’re done.”
“I know.”
Ken Swanson helped Melody up. In the next second, he carried her horizontally and strode out of the villa.
As soon as he got into the car, Melody instantly felt the pressure emanating from Ken Swanson.
He was angry.
Sure enough, after Ken Swanson ordered Aaron Berg to drive to First Hospital, he looked at her with a serious expression.
“Speak! What’s going on!”
Melody sat up straight and said guiltily, “Don’t you know? Everything is going according to plan.”
“You know that’s not what I’m talking about.”
“Then I don’t know what you’re talking about…” Melody’s eyes flickered, not daring to meet Ken Swanson’s gaze.
Ken Swanson reached out and pinched her chin with two fingers, forcing her to look into his eyes.
“If you don’t understand, then I’ll make it clear. We agreed to pretend to be poisoned. What happened to you just now? Why did you vomit blood! Blood can’t be acted out!”
Melody Fox knew that she could not hide it, so she could only give up.
“I’m not a professional actor. I was afraid that if I only acted, no one would believe me or suspect me, so after I got the cake, I ate a homemade poison that would vomit black blood…”
With his guess confirmed, Ken Swanson’s expression was extremely ugly. The atmosphere was like a dark cloud covering the moon. It was extremely oppressive.
Melody was most afraid of Ken Swanson’s expression. It was as if he wanted to beat her up.
She quickly explained herself, “That poison isn’t very poisonous, and I’ve already taken the antidote just now, When I get to the hospital later, I’m afraid the poison in my body won’t be detected at all. I only did that to ensure my safety.”
“Besides, as you can see, your father called a family doctor. That doctor has some medical skills and knows how to take pulses. If I hadn’t taken the poison just now, he would definitely have discovered…”
Ken Swanson said resentfully, “Do you think I didn’t consider those things and let you take the risk to act?”
“W-What do you mean?”
“The family doctor is one of us!”
“… Haha.”
Melody Fox laughed awkwardly and made a final struggle. That’s still the safest…”
“Melody Fox!”
Ken Swanson called out her full name word by word.
Melody had goosebumps all over her body. She shrunk her neck and did not dare to look Ken Swanson in the eye. “Look at me!”
Under pressure, Melody could only muster up the courage to look at Ken Swanson.
The expression in his eyes was unprecedentedly serious.
“I’ve said it more than once. No matter what, your safety is the most important. Have you ever listened to me?”
If he had known this would happen, he would rather not have had tonight’s plan!
“Even if you’ve already cured the poison, the damage to your body is real. If you still don’t take your body seriously, I won’t tell you anything in the future. I won’t let you participate in any plans either, in case you act on your own and don’t cherish your life!”
Melody’s heart tightened.
She knew that Ken Swanson was not joking, so she quickly promised and swore.
“I won’t do this again! I’ll tell you everything in advance. I swear! Don’t be angry…”
Ken Swanson closed his eyes and took a deep breath. In the end, he could not calm down so quickly. He said, Reflect on yourself.” Then, he looked away expressionlessly. Fortunately, just as she had said, after the various checkups at the hospital, the results showed that other than the fact that she was a little weak, she was fine.
Coincidentally, the doctor in the emergency department knew that she was “Wilona Knowles” and very responsibly prescribed her a bunch of supplements.
“Dr. Knowles, you have to take good care of your body. You’ re our hospital’s living signboard now! Don’t think that your weak body isn’t a disease, but if you’re too weak, it’s easy to cause other problems because of your low immunity. Alright, I won’t say anything else. You’re a divine doctor. You know better than me.”
Melody Fox sensed the cold gaze of the man beside her and smiled stiffly.
“Thank you for the reminder. I’ll be careful.”
After returning to the car, Ken Swanson scolded her again.
Melody repeatedly promised with a cheeky smile. Only then did his expression soften a little, but he was still not too happy.
After half an hour, the car returned to the Swanson family’s Manor.
Coincidentally, the test results for the poison were out.
The two groups of people entered the villa almost at the same time.
“Melody, are you alright? What did the doctor say?”
Margaret Swanson took a few steps forward and asked.
Melody quickly replied, “I’m fine now. The doctor prescribed some medicine and supplements. I’ll be fine after resting for two days.”
Ken Swanson added, “Fortunately, her medical skills are good. She always brought along the antidote. Otherwise, I’m afraid something big would have happened.”
Margaret Swanson was terrified when he heard that. She put her palms together and said, “Amitabha, God bless…”
Ramon Swanson also gave a few reminders, but compared to Margaret Swanson’s sincere concern, Ramon Swanson seemed much more fake.
Melody’s heart was like the Sun and Moon Mirror, but she still put on a grateful expression.
She observed Astrid Swanson’s expression from the corner of her eye and saw that Astrid Swanson seemed to have lost her soul as she stared blankly in a certain direction.
As for Ulric Swanson, Melody, he could tell that he did not know the exact situation at all, but he had vaguely guessed something, so his face was filled with anxiety.
However, this anxiety was probably not because he was worried about Astrid Swanson, but because he was afraid that he would be implicated.
Chapter 797
Thinking of this, Melody even felt a little sorry for Astrid Swanson.
Poor Astrid Swanson, she was like the former Yolanda Fox. They were devoted to their children, but the children born after 9 months of pregnancy cared more about themselves.
However, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person. She would sympathize with her, but she would not let her off because of this.
Despite this, when she thought about it, she realized that Ulric Swanson and Mabel Fox were really a match made in heaven.
In her previous life, she had indeed “d*mned” for interfering between them…
At the same time, the bodyguards also returned to the living room.
Ramon Swanson’s attention immediately fell on the bodyguards.
“Did you find anything? What’s poisonous?”
“In answer to your question, sir, the professional agency extracted a chronic toxin from the cake.”
The leader of the bodyguards had been following Ramon Swanson years. As he handed over the report, he said, This chronic toxin is fatal. If it wasn’t discovered in time, even the gods wouldn’t be able to save her.”
Ramon Swanson read the report while listening to the bodyguard’s report. He was shocked and quickly looked at Astrid Swanson, who was standing in the corner.
“You, come here!”
His eyes emitted a cold aura that was like black clouds pressing down on the city. Astrid Swanson was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Fortunately, Ulric Swanson reacted quickly and secretly helped Astrid Swanson up. Only then did Astrid Swanson look a little calmer.
She walked to Ramon Swanson in a few steps. Her feet felt as heavy as lead.
She even wanted to escape immediately.
However, once she did that, it was no different from admitting that she was the one who poisoned the cake.
No way!
She could not panic. She had to remain calm!
Even if the poison in the cake was extracted, the cake did not pass through her hands at all. Ramon Swanson could not convict her without any basis!
At the thought of this, Astrid Swanson calmed down.
When she was only two steps away from Ramon Swanson, she had completely calmed down.
She took the initiative and asked, “Hubby, don’t tell me you suspect that I poisoned the cake?”
Ramon Swanson did not say anything. He just stared at her. Astrid Swanson continued, “Heavens have mercy on me! You know that I’ve never touched the cake at all. How could I have the chance to poison it? Besides, why would I want to poison the cake?
I want to eat it myself. Also, this cake is to celebrate the recovery of my son’s leg. He will definitely eat it too. How could I poison my son? Am I crazy? I don’t have a motive at all!
“If you suspect me, believe it or not, I’ll bang my head against the wall and die here!”
The sharpness in Ramon Swanson’s eyes gradually disappeared.
Just now, his first reaction was that Astrid Swanson had tampered with the cake.
However, from what Astrid Swanson said, it was indeed impossible for it to have anything to do with her.
Ulric Swanson also said, “Dad, Mom is only in charge of buying this cake. Even the cake was taken by Sister-in-law.
There are too many people who can take the opportunity to poison her. Don’t misunderstand her. Also… there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”
“Tell me,”
Ulric Swanson looked at Melody and said, “Sister-in-law is indeed a doctor, but I’ve never seen a doctor carry an antidote with him. This seems a little too coincidental.”
Melody narrowed her eyes.
“Ulric Swanson, what do you mean by that? Do you suspect that I directed and acted in order to frame you?”
“Sister-in-law, don’t misunderstand. I just feel that it’s strange. I didn’t mean that, nor did I say that. As the saying goes, a righteous person isn’t afraid of a crooked shadow. If you had nothing to do with this matter, you don’t have to be so flustered and exasperated. Dad will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly.
Melody was amused.
“Exasperated? You’re good at inducing! Dare I ask who won’ t be angry when a black pot is thrown at them out of thin air?
Ken Swanson also said in a low voice, “Ulric Swanson, even if it’s to absolve your mother, you don’t have to step on other innocent people and drag the victim into this mess. Ulric Swanson met Ken Swanson’s gaze coldly.
“Are you trying to convict my mother? She just made a phone call and ordered a cake.”
Margaret Swanson did not want to see the two brothers arguing. She hit the ground with her walking stick and said, Shut up, all of you! We just found the poison in the cake. Your father and I did not suspect any of you.”
Ramon Swanson took a deep breath and ordered the bodyguards to check who had handled the cake. Then, he looked at Margaret and said, “Mom, they’ve already investigated. In your opinion… what should we do now?” Margaret Swanson pondered for a while and said, “Astrid Swanson, I don’t know if this has anything to do with this, but I can vouch for Melody. She definitely isn’t the one who poisoned herself.”
“Hmm? What do you mean? I hope… you can look at this matter rationally. From the looks of it, I think both of them are indeed suspects.”
“Why? Do you think I vouched for Melody out of selfishness?”
“I didn’t mean that…
Margaret Swanson said coldly, “I know that Melody had the antidote with her. I also know that not only did she bring the antidote, but she also brought many other medicines and a full set of silver needles.”
Melody opened her canvas bag and took out a bunch of healing tools and medicine.
It was very complete. There were herbal medicine pills and the full set of acupuncture tools mentioned by Margaret Swanson. “Dad, if you suspect me, you can ask anyone who knows me if I’ve been carrying this bag.”
Ramon Swanson raised his eyebrows and said, “I understand. This suspicious point… I’ll pretend that there’s nothing. It’s just that the report in my hand just now shows that the thing in the cake is a slow-acting poison. But when you think that poison is acting up… it’s a little too fast.”
Melody replied calmly.
“That’s because I’ve studied traditional medicine since! was young. I’ve studied all kinds of herbs and often tested medicine with my body, causing my physique to be different from ordinary people’s. Even if I use slow-acting poison on my body, it will flare up faster than ordinary people.
“This special physique is both a good and a bad thing for me. Moreover, I’m not the only one who knows about this. If you don’t believe me, I can call someone to testify for me. Or I can do a physical test under your supervision.”
Melody’s words were true. Her physique was indeed special, so she was not afraid of being investigated.
“Dad.” Ken Swanson took a step forward and said, “Melody is a smart girl. If she really wanted to frame someone, she wouldn’t have chosen this time. Isn’t this too suspicious?” Ramon Swanson massaged his temples with a headache. Ulric Swanson quickly said, “Dad, Mom is not stupid. Why would she poison Melody? She has no motive to harm anyone.” “That’s enough.” Ramon Swanson interrupted Ulric Swanson in frustration. “We’ve already sent people out to investigate. We’ll be able to find the results soon. I believe in the ability of my subordinates.”
The person in charge of the investigation was Ramon Swanson most trusted and old’s personal bodyguard. He was extremely capable.
He believed that there would be a result soon.
moments later…
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.
Chapter 799
Similarly, Melody also noticed the exceptionally calm Astrid Swanson.
She pursed her lips slightly, and a cold smile appeared in her eyes.
In the middle of the living room, the servant was forced to kneel on the ground.
“Spare me… It’s a misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding… I don’t know anything. Let go of me, spare me…”
The servant spoke incoherently, causing Ramon Swanson to completely lose his patience.
He stepped on the back of the servant’s hand and narrowed his eyes as he questioned, “Tell me! Why did you poison my mother’s medicine? Who instructed you to do this?!”
The servant screamed in pain and pulled his hand back forcefully.
However, in the next second, the two bodyguards directly clasped his hands behind his back.
“Ah!!!-“
The servant screamed again and said with a pale face, “No, no one… I didn’t poison her. I’m innocent!”
“Aggrieved? You’re about to die yet still dare to be stubborn?”
Ken Swanson walked forward expressionlessly and said, ” Dad, you can’t just use your mouth to deal with such people. Why don’t you let me do it?”
The servant looked at Ken Swanson’s face and shuddered.
Everyone knew in Silverlake. Ken Swanson had the nickname “Yama King”. They might as well go straight to hell if they fell into his hands.
Ramon Swanson waved his hand.
“You do it.”
“Yes.”
Ken Swanson nodded slightly. Just as he reached the servant, the servant shouted, “Don’t hit me! I’ll confess, I’ll confess everything!”
Even Ken Swanson was stunned.
He hadn’t even made a move, and he was already confessing? Was his reputation notoriety already so bad?
Ken Swanson subconsciously looked at Melody. Melody Fox quickly winked at him and he immediately understood the gist of it.
It was Melody who had made the arrangements in advance. That was why this guy confessed. When he heard that there was a video just now, he knelt on the ground as if he were exposing himself.
However, Astrid Swanson remained calm.
It was impossible for this person to betray her. His wife, children, and eighty-year-old mother were all in her hands. “Tell me! Who instructed you to poison my grandma?!”
Ken Swanson kicked the man’s calf.
The servant groaned in pain and turned his head to search the crowd.
Wherever his gaze landed, everyone subconsciously became nervous, afraid that they would inexplicably be blamed.
Soon, the servant’s gaze landed on Astrid Swanson and did not move away.
Astrid Swanson widened her eyes in shock and spat out,” Why are you looking at me?!”
However, what she wanted to say more than that was: Do you want your child and wife to die?!
However, the other party didn’t seem to care and directly said, “It was Madam who ordered me to add something to the medicine jar Mrs. Margaret!”
Astrid Swanson held her breath.
This guy actually dared to betray her!
She quickly looked at Ramon Swanson and said, “No, it’s not me! I didn’t know about this at all. Don’t believe what he said!”
Ramon Swanson frowned so much that he could squeeze out the word “vicious Bitch”. Margaret Swanson was so angry that she could not breathe. It took her a long time to squeeze out a sentence.
“You…, you vicious woman, you actually want to poison me to death!!”
Ulric Swanson subconsciously wanted to speak, but he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
It was true that Astrid Swanson was his biological mother, but in such a situation, self-preservation was the most important.
Thinking of this, Ulric Swanson decided not to get involved in this matter.
Astrid Swanson cried and defended herself. “No! I didn’t! You can’t think that I did it just because of his words. How could I attack you? He’s framing me. He was instigated to use me and deliberately framed me!”
The servant hurriedly said, “Sir, Old Mrs. Swanson, I can swear to God that I’m not lying! Madam asked me to make it. She even asked me to buy it on the black market…”
“Shut up! You shut up! I’ll beat you to death…-“
Astrid Swanson was furious. She took a few steps forward to slap the servant’s face.
“Aunt Zhang!” Ken Swanson reached out and easily grabbed Astrid Swanson’s wrist. “I advise you to calm down and not act rashly.”
“Let go of me! You must have asked him to frame me! You’ve long disliked us mother and son. You can’t wait to chase us out of the house every day! This is a show directed by you and your country bumpkin wife!”
Ken Swanson narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on Astrid Swanson.
“Ah…-it hurts! Let go of me! You demon who can even cripple my brother’s legs! Now you want to cripple my hand?!
“Hehe.” Ken Swanson laughed coldly. This was the first time in his life that he had helped Ulric Swanson complain about his leg.
“I crippled his legs? Shouldn’t you know best who crippled his legs? Have you thought about it? A person who can be ruthless to his own legs and even let his legs be crippled for many years to slander me? How good can he be to you, his biological mother? Ever since the servant exposed you, has he said a word for you?”
“Shut up! Stop trying to sow discord between us mother and son!”
Ulric Swanson could not take it anymore and said, “Ken Swanson, the matter hasn’t been completely clarified yet. What right do you have to directly determine that my mother is the mastermind? Also, regarding my leg, I endured it and never told anyone for so many years because you’re my brother and the eldest in the Swanson family. It’s fine if you don’t know how to be grateful, but you still want to slander us? How can there be a demon like you in the world!”
Melody clenched her fists and could not help but speak up for Ken Swanson.
“Why do you think he endured it for so many years and didn’t defend himself? Wasn’t it because he didn’t want to destroy this family? He took the blame for this family for so many years, and you actually called him a devil? Aren’t you afraid of being struck by lightning?!”
“It’s none of your business!”
“You…!-“
“Enough! I’m not dead yet! Do you all think I’m invisible?!” Ramon Swanson shouted.
Only then did everyone fall silent.
Ramon Swanson’s gaze swept across the people in front of him and finally landed on the servant.
“You said that Madam instructed you to poison my mother. Do you have any evidence?”
“I do!”
The servant’s words made Astrid Swanson’s heart tremble.
Evidence? How could he possibly have evidence…
“I’ve been working for Madam for the past few days. Madam has given me a lot of valuable things. I’ve sold some of them, but there are still two hidden under my bed.”
As soon as Ramon Swanson looked up, a bodyguard immediately ran to the servants’ room and quickly brought back two expensive jewelry.
One was a bracelet, and the other was a gold bar of considerable weight.
Ramon Swanson recognized the bracelet at a glance. This bracelet was often worn by Astrid Swanson. He could not be wrong.
“A gold bar and a bracelet?”
Ramon Swanson’s expression was extremely ugly, and even his voice was cold.
Astrid Swanson’s heart skipped a beat. She explained in a panic, “I can’t find a few pieces of my jewelry recently. It seems like he stole them! Hubby, don’t believe what he said!”
“I have other evidence! The evidence is in my pocket!”
Chapter 800
Ken Swanson quickly went forward and found a card in the servant’s pocket.
He recognized it at a glance. It was a black market access card.
After pausing for a moment, he turned around and handed the pass to Ramon Swanson.
Ramon Swanson obviously knew about the existence of the black market. He frowned and questioned Astrid Swanson.
“I recognize this card. It’s yours. You’ve been keeping it in the safe. He’s just a servant. Even if he can steal your jewelry, how can he steal the things in the safe? I asked someone to specially make that safe. We both have one. Unless we use a chainsaw to open it, no one can open it except the two of us!”
“It’s not mine!” Astrid Swanson retorted. “There are too many people with black market access cards. The cards all look the same…”
“Heh!.” Ramon Swanson sneered and said, “Your card is in the safe. You just have to check if there’s a card in the safe.
Astrid Swanson said with a pale face, “My card… I lent it to Wendell a while ago.”
Wendell had already been buried. It was most suitable to push the blame onto a dead person.
Melody rolled her eyes slightly. She knew that Ken Swanson could not speak up, so he took the initiative to explain that the black market access card could confirm one’s identity through his/her phone.
After a while, Astrid Swanson’s name appeared on the phone screen.
“How are you going to explain this now? Your name is written on this card!”
“I…, I… I don’t know either…”
Astrid Swanson was completely flustered. How would she know that she only needed to use her phone to confirm the holder of the pass?
“Also…” The servant spoke again, “I went to the black market to buy poison. I didn’t know how much I wanted to buy, so I called Madam. I pretended to call and recorded the call conversation. I have the recording on my phone!”
Another recording!
Astrid Swanson’s vision went dark. She could no longer hold on until the recording was played and fainted.
“Mom…”
Ulric Swanson took a few steps forward and tried to help Astrid Swanson up.
However, as a person whose legs had just recovered, it would take all his strength to lift a person who had fainted.
Ulric Swanson beads of sweat appeared on his foreheads.
“There’s no need to help her up! Tie her up! When she wakes up, we’ll punish her according to the family rules!” Ramon Swanson ordered coldly. Then, he looked at Ulric Swanson coldly and said, “And you, you’re not allowed to leave the house for the time being! Until I’m sure that this matter has nothing to do with you.”
Ulric Swanson’s hands slowly tightened. After a long while, he said, “Yes…”
He was not worried about himself. With Ramon Swanson’s methods, it would be easy for him to investigate what Astrid Swanson had done.
He was just annoyed.
He had clearly warned Astrid Swanson not to act rashly, but she had thrown such a huge bomb with the back of her hand. Even her own people were blown up!
For such a stupid person to end up like this, he could only say, “Serves her right.”
However, without Astrid Swanson’s help, it would not be so easy for him to rope in connections in the future.
Moreover, after this incident, Ramon Swanson would be even more wary of him.
He had no choice but to have Jennie Taylor speed up her actions and use malicious doctors’s medicine to control all the higher-ups in the headquarters.
There was no pity in Ulric Swanson’s eyes. There was only a deepness that no one could see clearly.
“Everyone!” Ramon Swanson raised his voice and said, “No one is allowed to say a word tonight. If anyone outside finds out about what happened tonight, all of you will have to bear the joint responsibility!”
Everyone in the villa was stunned. Then, they promised in unison, “Yes!”
“Ulric, Go back to your room! I’ll get someone to deliver your three meals a day for the next few days,” Ramon Swanson said calmly as he looked at Ulric Swanson.
Ulric Swanson did not have any objections. After nodding, he was sent upstairs by Ramon Swanson’s bodyguards.
After Ulric Swanson went upstairs, the servants in the villa also did their jobs. Soon, there were not many people left in the living room.
Margaret Swanson looked at Astrid Swanson, who was still unconscious, and asked Ramon Swanson.
“Regarding Astrid Swanson, how do you plan to deal with her? You can’t just let it go with the family law, right?”
“Of course not…” Ramon Swanson paused for a moment and said, “It’s just that this matter shouldn’t be made public. If word gets out that such a scandal has happened to our family, not only will it affect our Swanson family’s reputation, but it will also severely affect the stock market. So…”
“You don’t have to tell me that! Just tell me what you plan to do with her in the end.”
“In two days, I’ll find a reason to divorce her.”
Melody’s eyes immediately lit up when she heard the word “divorce”.
Astrid Swanson had relied on the title of Mrs. Swanson to defeat Silverlake. Her personality had already made countless enemies in Silverlake. Without this title, one could imagine how her enemies would treat her.
What awaited Astrid Swanson was definitely the human world’s Fiery Prison.
After a moment of silence, Margaret Swanson nodded and said, That’s the only way. But we have to make her leave with nothing. She can’t take anything from the Swanson family.” “Don’t worry, I’ll arrange it. You’re tired tonight. Go upstairs and have a good rest. I’ll arrange for you to go to the hospital for a physical examination tomorrow to see if there are any injuries.”
“Okay,” Margaret Swanson replied and walked towards the stairs.
When she passed by Ken Swanson, she stopped in her tracks and looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
But in the end, she didn’t say anything and continued to walk upstairs.
The incident with Ulric Swanson’s leg had happened too long ago.
Only Ulric Swanson and Ken Swanson were present. It was almost impossible to verify the truth.
However, the things that Ulric Swanson and Astrid Swanson had done recently allowed her to make an accurate judgment.
No matter how much Ken Swanson cared about his mother’s belongings, it was impossible for him to be so ruthless to Ulric Swanson.
However, when she thought about how Ulric Swanson would be someone who could even cripple his own leg ruthlessly, she could not help but feel a chill down her spine.
Perhaps she should have followed the old man back then and not experienced this pain.
After Margaret Swanson went upstairs with a lot on her mind, Ken Swanson took a few steps forward and said, “
Dad, leave this guy to me. He looks very afraid of me. It will be easier for me to interrogate him.”
If it was handed over to Ramon Swanson, he was afraid that this person would not be able to withstand the punishment and would implicate Melody.
“Then we’ll do as you say. You’ll be in charge of the rest. My men will be at your disposal for the next few days.”
“Yes, I’ll get to the bottom of this.”
Ramon Swanson waved his hand and went upstairs looking extremely tired.
He originally had a video conference tonight.
However, with such a thing happening, he was no longer in the mood for a meeting. He only wanted to rest early.
Other than Ken Swanson & Melody, the only person left in the living room was Astrid Swanson who was still unconscious. Melody could not help but ask curiously in a low voice, So your family also has a family law? I’ve always thought that… only people like Russell Fox would set up a family law. the Fox family’s family law is to whip people. I wonder what your family law is like?”
