Enchanted By His Charm

The policeman was slightly shocked by her words and soon looked embarrassed while Joseph stepped in front of Irish, then asked the police calmly. "How's it going?"

The policeman lowered his voice and replied, "Let's talk elsewhere."

Then they walked towards the window, but Irish couldn't hear clearly what they were talking about, so she had no choice but to look around.

The servants were standing in two rows, of which the servants were employed by the Lake family, while another row of the servants were five people who were temporarily hired for help. They looked calmly while other servants in another row all appeared anxious.

Upon checking their background these days secretly, Irish could recognize every servant in this house. She also knew about their basic information, including their age, length of service in the Lake family, family backgrounds, characteristics, and style of working.

When Joseph was chatting with the police, she suddenly stood up and then walked to those servants. After seeing that, Ruby roared at her in a weak voice, "What are you going to do?"

"I am going to conjure up the ghost to cope with your mom, the old witch! The next one shall be you!" Irish replied to her slowly.

"You...you are..." Shirley was so irritated and would abuse her, but she had to stop since the policemen were near them. Ruby was also angry, and her face turned pale.

Joseph also heard her words, so he turned back, took a look at her, and showed a faint smile.

Those servants all greeted her politely, but she paced silently in front of them while staring at them.

Finally, she stopped in front of the steward.

"Miss." He called her politely. But Irish ignored him directly. Then, after pondering for a while, she asked, "Who is the first to see the ghost?"

She called Joseph on her way to the Lake family and asked the basic information about this issue. William passed out when he was drinking tea this afternoon. It was fortunate that someone discovered and then called an ambulance immediately. The initial finding was he was being poisoned, which was exactly the same thing that happened to Shirley, who was hospitalized not long ago. But the servants all said that incidents occurred to the Lake family continuously because the female ghost came to take revenge on them because they had done many wrongdoings before.

In fact, the rumors had been spurred after Shirley was sent to the hospital, but William was also poisoned today, so they were all frightened. Moreover, several Lake family members declared that they had seen the ghost, especially Shirley.

However, Irish didn't believe in supernatural beings at all, and she also understood the reason why Joseph asked her to come here today. On the one hand, she could prove her innocence since she was slandered last time, and on the other hand, he may hope to find some clues about this.

In fact, she didn't want to poke her nose into this issue, and she thought it had nothing to do with whatever happened to the Lake family. And she even hoped there was a ghost to take revenge on them so as to release her hatred. But she was shocked by Henry's words. He said that he had seen her mother, which aroused her interest, and she wanted to figure out the truth.

After hearing her question, the steward hesitated and replied after a long while, "It is Ms. Shirley who said she saw the ghost in the garden."

"You misunderstood me. I mean, who is the first to see a ghost among those servants?" Irish explained patiently, staring at his face motionlessly, and then added, "I know the servants also spread the words of ghosts animatedly. Are they echoing the views of others?"

"In fact, they are parroting."

"Ms. Irish, you'd better not get involved in it. This house turned haunted." A man standing beside the steward suddenly said to her mystically. "You see, Mrs. Shirley is poisoned first, and then Mr. William is also poisoned today, so Ms. Irish, you'd better not offend the ghost."

Irish turned to him and tried to remember the information inside her mind.

His name was Joie, and he was 26 years old and had only finished high school and remained unmarried. Two years ago, he planned to resign from his work here, but finally, he gave up this idea and kept working here. They all said he was diligent and easygoing though he was timid.

Irish remembered that it was he who told the police during the interrogation that he saw her entering the kitchen that day but she didn't have too much of an impression on him, so she spent two days trying to find out his information.

Staring at the man before her, who was tall and thin and even looked overcautious and scared, Irish thought he was not an evil guy, so he asked him softly," Why are you sure that there is a ghost in this house?"

Before he could reply to her, the steward said, "It is he who saw the ghost, and that's why these servants spread the rumor about it."

Irish was curious and then looked at him, "Are you sure you have seen it?"

Joie nodded.

Irish was confused, so she kept asking him about the details, and then Joie began to explain to her while trembling. It turned out that one night when he was on the night shift, he had to go to the yard to check whether the lights were on and when he was passing through the garden, he suddenly saw a faint red figure. He rubbed his eyes and ensured he didn't make a mistake. The red figure floated to the house and finally attached to the window upstairs.

Joie saw clearly that the window where the ghost was attached was William's room. He was so frightened and rushed away soon but tumbled.

Telling the event, Joie rolled up his sleeves, pointed at the wound on his arm, and said, "Look, my arm was scratched at that time."

Irish glanced at him, and when she swiped at his fingers occasionally, she was slightly shocked.

"There is no supernatural spirit in this world. Don't spread the rumor anymore." She cleared her throat and said indifferently.

"Ms. Irish....." Joie put on a long face.

"You must be mistaken since it was dark at night. And there must be someone else who had poisoned him, but not a ghost."

The policemen left at around half past five.

Henry was still in the hospital, so there was only one man in the Lake family, and it was Joseph. He arranged everything in the house and ordered the steward to prepare dinner.

When they were about to eat, Joseph then said, "Uncle William has been out of danger, but he was still in a coma. In order to avoid causing disturbance to the public, the police decided not to block the entire house, except for the site where Uncle William was poisoned. I have ordered the servants not to go to Uncle William's room, and you shouldn't go there too. The police had set a cordon there."

Irish sat across from Joseph and felt upset since she saw he was busy managing the affairs of the Lake family, especially when she saw Ruby acting like a lenient woman beside him. She was even more depressed. It gave her the feeling that she was indeed Joseph's mistress, watching her beloved man manage affairs for his wife's family.

She looked like an outsider again.
