Chapter 212 Chapter 212 Leia spun armand to face Noelle Feeling guilty, she accused, her voice rising a few notches.
Noelle, are you trying to defend the murderers? How can you let Dad down like thist Hes been so good to you, yet you want to let the culprits get away with it! Noelle retorted sharply.
No, Im raising questions to find the real murderer Hey, what do you mean? Leia choked out, taken aback. Noelle continued, During the power outage last night, the surveillance dulut capture whether anyone went to the kitchery Maria claimed she went to check the circuit with the electrician.
Maybe someone took that opportunity to poisom Dad At Noelles words, Leias guilt intensified She was the one who had used the power outage as a cover to poison Vincent.
But there was no way she could admit it.
Her face twitched as she said, Noelle, the power outage was so brief.
How could anyone have used that tto prison him Its obvious that Maria and her husband, harboring resentment against Dad, are the ones who poisoned him.
Maria, feeling cornered by Leias insistence, exploded in anger.
Leia, thats going too far.
Youre the one who should be suspected What do you mean? Leias face turned pale..
Maria shouted, Ever since Noelle cback, youve been nothing but jealous and discontented.
Mr.
Anderson scolded you just a few days ago.
Your motive is far stronger than ours.
Shut up! Leias face turned beet red with rage.
She gritted her teeth and said, Youre lying.
How could I poison Dad They raisedfor over a decade.
How could I poison my own father out of a little resentment? Besides, weve already reconciled.
How dare you slander? III sue you for defamation.
Maria, intimidated by Leias threat, wilted again and began to cry, claiming they were wronged.
At that moment, Eli chimed in, Its true that we cant rule out the possibility that someone poisoned him during the power outage.
But that widens the pool of suspects and makes it harder to investigate.
Curlie added. Weve already determined that the poison Dad was given is a controlled substance, right! Its not something an ordinary person can get their hands on .
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI heard from Bennett that this drug is strictly regulated and requires real nregistration for purchase Seeing everyone starting to doubt her, Leia, fearing she would be the next suspect, forced an awkward smile and said , Hey, I knew it.
Bennett is a doctor.
He should have access to those drugs, right? Eli glanced at Lela and said, So, you think Bennett poisoned Dad ? | ..
I didnt say that Leia shrank back, lowering her voice.
But Bennett does have the easiest access to the drugs.
Besides, Bennett is kind of eccentric.
Sometimes I have no idea what hes thinking To protect herself, Leia was ready to abandon Hennen, even though he had been the kindest to her at the moment.
Damon, however, spoke up.
Thats impossible.
When Maria was preparing the drugs, Bennett was withthe whole t.
He didnt have a chance to poison Dad.
Is that so! Leia forced another awkward sanile.
Damon, Im just pointing out that he had access to the drugs.
I didnt say Bennett was the murderer.
Dont misunderstandEli shot her a cold look and said sarcastically, Good thing Bennett nett isnt here right now, or hed be heartbroken to hear this Elis side remark made Leia feel wronged.
She couldnt help but lower her head, feeling wronged.
Why does Eli always target me? What have i done to offend lum she thought to herself For a moment, everyone was at an impasse.
Althat moment, Kimberly rushed back in.
As soon as she reached the doorway, she demanded fiercely.

Maria and her husband burst into tears, protesting their innocence.
Mrs.

Weve worked for the Anderson family for nearly a decade, always behaving well.
How could we poison anyone ! Leia is framing us.
Lela gritted her teeth.
At a tlike this, you still want to lie your way our Kimberly cast a cold glance at Maria, her usual gentleness gone.
She asked in a chilling voice, Maria, did you really poison him? Mrs.
Anderson, no, it wasnt us Maria wailed miserably.
Anger flaring.
Maria cursed fiercely.
It really wasnt us.
Who the hell is framming us? Damn you to hell ! Ill tear you aparflimb by limb ! Youll never see the light of day again ! May you rot in the deepest pit of despair, you son of a bitch! Upon hearing Marias wild cursing.

Mrs.
Anderson, it really wasnt us Maria cried out again, terrified at the prospect of being taken to the police station . At that moment, Noelle stepped forward and said to Kimberly, Mom, I think this whole thing is fishy.
The culprits might not be Maria .
I suggest we investigate further what happened during the power outage.
During the power outage Kimberly was taken aback Before Kimberly could fully grasp the situation Lela snapped at Noelle', Noelle ! Why are you trying to protect Maria and her husband! Its obvious theyre the poisoners, but you insist theres someone else. What are you even trying to do? Noelle gave Leia a cold stare and retorted, Because I dont want Dads poisoning to remain a mystery.
Hey, Leia, arent you overreacting a bit ? No.
Leia was left speechless once again.
She sniffed back her tears, which rolled down her cheeks, and said with a sense of grievance, Im just worried about Dad.
Now that weve found the culprits.
Em angry, and thats why Im so emotional.
Whats wrong with that? Noelle, I know youre cold hearted.
Im worried about him, and thats why I cant control my emotions.
Isnt that normal! Seeing Leia still pretending! Noelle felt a lumpon frustration in her chest and decided E not to hold back any longer. She confronted Leia directly.
