Enchanted By His Charm

As Irish heard it, she stopped, totally shocked. She had thought that it was just a little case for Shirley, such as getting a stomach ache. But she had never expected that she would get poisoned. So impossible! She had spent a night in the Lakes. Although she only spent one night, she clearly saw their strict requirements for food. They had such a luxurious life and even arranged an independent room for their tableware. All these proved that they had a high standard for every cooking procedure.

With so many questions, she had to look up to Joseph and ask sincerely. "Why did it happen?"

Joseph told her what had happened to her. Irish went away when they started the meal, not for a long time. And Lilith wanted to go too for the excuse of persuading Irish back. However, Kelly stopped her and ordered her to sit down. Lilith complained about it, while Kelly forbade her from going out for two days since she thought Lilith was to see Jay. Lilith was so annoyed that she directly returned to her room. Kelly also left because of the embarrassing atmosphere.

Roy was unhappy all the time, and only Joseph knew the reason. He didn't eat much and soon went back to his room after Lilith and Kelly. Later he went out with his coat.

At this time, the chief served the salad on the table. He had prepared one for each, but many left, so there were extra ones. Shirley was fond of it, so she ate all those extra ones. Henry was not in a good mood to continue his meal since Irish went away. More people left, so he got unhappier. He was to leave.

At this time, something unexpected happened, the bowl suddenly fell down, and Shirley also collapsed. Foaming at the mouth, her lips turned purple, and she quivered wholly. People around all got shocked. Joseph called an ambulance immediately and called Roy. However, his phone was left at home, so Joseph couldn't get in contact with him.

The ambulance met Joseph's car on the midway, and soon Shirley was sent to the emergency room. Henry was so angry that he called the police. After their preliminary analysis and judgment, Shirley got poisoned because of the rat poison. As a result, the police began a strict examination of all the employees of the Lakes.

After proactive measures to save, Shirley recovered her life. Joseph couldn't go immediately since he had lost contact with Roy. And he made all the arrangements in the hospital and dealt with all the affairs. And that was exactly the reason why he couldn't follow Irish in time when she left.

When Shirley was out of danger, and everything went in a good way, Joseph left with the excuse of going to work. So the call he received just now was from Daisy, who arrived at the hospital by Joseph's order. Joseph told her to notify him as soon as possible in case something unexpected happened.

Daisy told him that Shirley was totally safe now, but she still had to spend several nights in the hospital as she was still weak.

Irish still kept silent as she was listening. After Joseph's words, she was immersed in silence and frowned deeply. Rat poison? There was no rats in the Lake's, so rat poison was impossible.

After a while, she asked, "Is the suspect found?"

Joseph shook his head.

Irish bit her lips and thought about it for a while, "You think someone did it deliberately? So who's his target? In my opinion, Shirley was just attacked by mistake."

"That is also what I worry about most." Joseph was serious at this time, "That person could make it secretly, so he must have been in the Lakes for a long time."

Irish nodded, "If Shirley was not his target, so who?"

"At that time, Ruby, me, and William all ate the salad, but we were safe and sound. Only you, Roy, your father, Kelly, and Lilith didn't eat it." Joseph analyzed, "Shirley likes it, and she has eaten all that left since they were not big ones."

He stopped for a while and didn't continue.

Irish soon understood and felt nervous, "Among those who didn't eat it, he is the best possible. "The "he" she referred to was Henry. Then her voice was cold, "Someone was to kill him but mistakenly caused damage to Shirley."

Joseph frowned, "Although it was only our analysis, the fact might be that."

Irish closed her lips tightly and gripped the fork. She was fretful again, just when she was in the Lakes. Joseph observed her change of emotion, so he just pulled her hands and covered them. He said lightly but what he said was to the point, "In my opinion, the Lakes are just seemingly placid. If it were your father who got poisoned today, then it would have brought severe consequences. There will be more risks if the suspect is not found out."

"The police have been involved already, so we could do nothing." She said it directly.

"If you don't care, you will not have such complex feelings."

Irish felt nervous, so she put the fork aside and approached him, holding his neck. She said in a pitiful voice. "Now that the situation is better, could we just stop this topic? I don't want to hear it."

Joseph embraced her and sighed helplessly.

Cassie and her parents also celebrate Labor Day by having dinner together. After dinner, they went back home. Fredrick called her during this time and asked where she was. He meant to celebrate the festival with her. However, Cassie's mother talked with him with a bad attitude. Cassie sent a short message to Fredrick since she was afraid of damaging the atmosphere. She told him not to call her again because she was to be with her parents.

Fredrick soon made a response. He reminded her not to forget to take medicines and to have a cup of milk before going to bed. Cassie stared at the phone for a while.

She didn't know what to say.

However, Cassie's mother began to criticize and scold Fredrick at dinner. Cassie's father just sighed without words. At last, Cassie just said lightly, "There is nothing absolutely right or wrong in love. Actually, I am to be blamed because I did it wrongly.

Her mother felt so sorry for her.

As they went back home, it was already eight o'clock at night. As they approached the entrance, there was light and horning not far. She saw it was Roy's car. Roy cocked his head out of the car and waved his hands to her.
