Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 389 The Hotel Is Suspended

A black Cayenne went past the overpass like a shooting star. Manuel was in the back seat with a serious face. Beside him was Serina, who was nibbling her index finger anxiously.

When Manuel noticed it, her finger was already bleeding.

Manuel quickly took the finger out of Serina’s **. He held her hands and said in a low voice,

“Serina, calm down.”

Manuel frowned and said to the driver, “Drive faster.”

The driver stepped on the accelerator and ****at full speed. The car rushed out like an arrow leaving the bow.

In the quiet car, there was only the sound of Serina groaning.

A ringtone broke the strange silence. Manuel picked up the phone. It was a call from Roman.

“Mr. Gage, Ms. Easton is in trouble.” Roman’s voice was anxious. He must have called as soon as the incident happened.

“What happened?” Manuel frowned.

Roman hurriedly told him the details. “A woman ***right after eating steak in PineMist Island Resort Hotel. The police are investigating the case. They found Clostridium botulinum in the small piece of steak left by the deceased.”

“Clostridium botulinum?” Manuel was shocked.

As a newly opened resort hotel, PineMist Island would be careful with the selection and cooking of meat. How could it make such a big mistake?

Roman continued, “Clostridium botulinum was found in the steaks sent to most of the rooms on that floor. Fortunately, no one else ate them.”

It sounded like an accident, but it was actually suspicious. The steaks were delivered at the same. time. How was it possible that only one person ate it?

“You are lying!” Ainsley said coldly.

The captain frowned. The woman was a little nervous. She looked at the people behind her and

mustered up her courage. “Sir, you must ***this hotel down. They are murdering people! You gave us

poisonous steaks. You should be punished!”

The woman began to cry as she spoke. The people behind her also cried.

Ainsley ignored her and said calmly to the captain, “Sir, I am a psychologist. When she said those words,

she rubbed her nose and avoided eye contact unconsciously. There must be criminal psychologists in

the police station. They will also tell you that she was lying.”

The forensic doctor examined the remaining steak and Iliana’s body in the room. Half an hour later, the

police took everyone to the police station.

When Manuel and Serina arrived at PineMist Island Resort Hotel, people had left the hotel. The

unrelated guests left too. After all, Clostridium botulinum could be lethal.

When Manuel learned that Ainsley was taken to the police station for interrogation, he called

Matteo at once. “Ainsley was taken to the police station. You may not be able to get her out. I will bail her

out. And I need your help.”

Manuel looked at Serina, who was still trembling. He pulled away Serina’s hand that she was about to

bite again.

Ainsley didn’t stay in the police station for long. She was soon bailed. But PineMist Island Resort

Hotel was suspended.

Matteo came to pick her up. He comforted Ainsley. “Aisy, don’t worry. After we figure out the truth, the

hotel will be opened again.”

Ainsley shook her head. She looked serious. “This matter is not that simple. The mastermind didn’t even

hide it. Halfmoon Island Resort Hotel’s turnover is deeply affected by PineMist Island Resort

Hotel. I’m not surprised that Irene would do this. But we were caught off guard.”

Ainsley thought, before this incident, people had been hindering the Wade family’s business. Irene

should be busy dealing with the Wade Group’s matters. I didn’t expect her to cause trouble for

PineMist Island so quickly.

Matteo thought for a moment and said hesitantly, “Maybe Irene has found that the wine’s matter was

because of you.’

Three days ago.

Ainsley went to the Glover Group. She had called many times before she successfully made an

appointment with Hudson.

Ainsley got to know Hudson at the wine tasting last time. She and Freya were similar in appearance and

temperament. Ainsley took advantage of this fact, and she used Hudson too.

Maybe it was also because of the Gage Group. Ainsley knew it. But she was eager to get the business at

that time.

Ainsley sneered, “Humph. I didn’t expect her to be so resourceful. The supply of the Glover Group’s wine

was cut, but she managed to get goods from abroad.”

After a moment of silence, Ainsley said, “Matteo, Irene is indeed a very difficult opponent.”

Irene will do anything she can to make profits. She doesn’t care about people’s lives. And she even got

away after killing so many people.

“You already got Glenn’s confession, didn’t you?” Matteo said.

Ainsley nodded and then sighed, “But what about Nancy, the student? She wanted to ***, but she

changed her mind. Someone pushed her off. And the culprit is still enjoying her extravagant life in

Seattle. The police have been searching for so long. But they haven’t found any clues. Everyone

believes that it was suicide.”

They could only expect Irene to turn herself in for Nancy’s death. Because they had no evidence to prove that she was the culprit.

“Who said there was no evidence?” Matteo looked at Ainsley with a smile.

Ainsley was surprised and asked uncertainly, “Matteo, what did you find?”

Matteo smiled and shook his head. “You have forgotten the biggest loophole, the autopsy report.”

The autopsy report showed that it was a free fall. It didn’t mention the redness on the back of the body.

The scene report showed that there were no signs of fighting. But actually, it was a mess at that time. There were traces of struggle and fighting..

Ainsley remembered. She widened her eyes and said, “Right. Our clue is in the forensics and exploration team.”

Ainsley had been too focused on searching for new evidence and had neglected the most important ones.

Matteo nodded and said gently, “Fortunately, I asked someone else to inspect the scene at that time and have gotten a new report. Now, all we need is only an autopsy report. I believe that the real one is in the forensics doctor’s hands.”

Ainsley regained her confidence. She looked at the sky and said as if speaking to Nancy, “Look. I am about to get her.”

Just as Ainsley walked to the side of the car, Matteo looked at her seriously and said, “Aisy, Serina isn’t well.”

“What’s wrong?” Ainsley frowned.

“Check on her yourself.” Matteo opened the back door of the car. Serina was sitting in the back seat in a daze. Her teeth were chattering.

“I heard from Manuel that Serina was bullied by someone at school. She was terrified. She keeps biting her finger. Keep an eye on her.” Matteo sat in the driver’s seat.

Ainsley’s heart sank. How dare someone ***Serina at school?

Everyone at the University of Washington knows that Serina is the Gage family’s beloved daughter.

Ainsley asked in a low voice, “Who did this to her?”
