"Is Warren in there, right?" Jameson sighed heavily, knowing Jarvis had been caught, and now Bainbridge had pulled another ona stunts.
Misfortune had befallen the family.
He felt even serier for Wamen.

Warren lay with his eyes shut on a recliner beside him a bamboo side table with a bowl of sdark and cold concoction that must have been skind of herbal remedy.
"You've come." Warren's voice was hoarse and worn as he slightly opened his eyes to look at Gwendolyn, the light in them long extinguished.
"Did you specifically ask for me? Gwendolyn glanced at the disgraced Bainbridge on the floor, then back to Warren, "I did." Warren seemed more at ease with her. He motioned with his hand, "Trouble you to check what's been added to this medicine." Gwendolyn approached and carefully lifted the bowl to smell its contents.
It was a familiar scent.
"Tampered deadly drugs... Direct consumption could lead to poisoning, even death. This was Waldo's concoction for killing Howard." Gwendolyn was calm in her tone.
Wamen inhaled deeply upon hearing this, "Bastard!" He hurled a glass from the side table at Bainbridge, the impact swelling his forehead.
"Grandfather" Bainbridge streamed with tears, "It's all Howard. He's relentless and put Jarvis away, and I'm next! I need that 30% share to stand against him.” Warren coughed furiously.
"Even with the shares, you can't stand against him!" he snapped.

Warren spoke with a raspy voice, "It's all my fault I shouldn't have played favorites. After the car accident, I cleaned up your mess, not wanting to lose two grandsons at once. But you just got worse. Haven't I been good enough to your side of the family?"
"Good? Because we're easier to Klike control, right? We do whatever you say. Not like Howard who has his own mind!" Bainbridge's laugh was bitter, his eyes reddening.
Warren waved a dismissive hand, full of disappointment, "I won't pursue today's poisoning. Get him out, I don't want to see him." Who would have thought that at seventy, he would end up so utterly alone? The bodyguard escorted Bainbridge out, leaving only Gwendolyn and Warren in the vast room.
"You've witnessed quite the spectacle." Warren said, looking at Gwendolyn.
Her expression remained calm as eight she replied, "You didn't ashere just to identify poison, did you?" Warren spoke softly. "Go open the top drawer of the bedside table." Gwendolyn furrowed her brow slightly as she moved towards iL Pulling open the top drawer, she saw what was inside.
