Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 367 Uncovering My Wife’s Secrets

Seeing Lucy in a daze, Michelle shouted at her unhappily, “Lucy, I told you to put the bowl away. Didn’t you hear

me?” Preston had called the police. If the police found out that there was something wrong with the medicine soup,

Michelle was worried that the police might identify them as the culprits by following the clues Lucy was about to

clean up the table when Preston said in a cold voice, “Why are you so anxious to clean this up? Do you have a guilty

conscience?” When he had told Annalise about her grandmother’s symptoms over the phone earlier on, Annalise

had asked him to help the old lady induce vomiting and kept some of the medicine. She was going to run a test on

it. Therefore, the bowl was very important to them. Preston didn’t put it away because he wanted to lure the

perpetrator out. and see how Lucy, Jared, and the rest would react. Instead of taking the bowl away, Lucy kept

crying. Preston thought, “She is either so mentally strong that she could remain calm after poisoning someone.

“Or, she really doesn’t know anything. “Lucy has been cooking and feeding the medicine soup to Grandma

personally. “She hasn’t let anyone else do the work. “She has many opportunities to hurt Grandma. Why wait until

now? “If it isn’t Lucy, how did the perpetrator swap the medicine without her knowing?” Preston decided that he

would keep sounding them out until he found answers to all his questions. Hearing Preston’s words, Michelle said

awkwardly, “Preston, what are you talking about? I just want to keep the place clean.” “When the police come here

to investigate, they’ll expect everything in the scene to be in situ, not after cleaning,” Preston said. “Jonathan

Woods didn’t cure your grandmother and she has a relapse now. Don’t say it as if everything is a conspiracy. If

someone in the family really want to harm your grandmother,

would she have survived until now?” Jared rebuked Preston unhappily. He raised his Eyebrows and looked at his son.

“Aren’t you going to send your grandmother to the hospital?” Preston replied calmly, “Lina has sent Grandma tổ the

hospital. As the head of the Blake family, I certainly have to stay here and wait for the police.” “You’re the head of

the Blake family? Then, what am I? I’m not dead yet.” Jared was so infuriated by this defiant brat. “Grandma has

left the Blake family in my hand. Also, it’s stated in her will that this main building of the Blake Residence is mine,”

Preston said.

“You… Ha, I got it. I guess you know very well why your grandmother has become like this.” Jared was so angry that

he threw the old lady’s coat onto the couch. He sat down and crossed his legs. “Let’s wait for the police then. I also

want to know who is that heartless and cold-blooded jerk that wants my mother’s life,” Jared had nothing to be

afraid of. He was not the one who went to buy the medicinal ingredients and gave it to his mother. Never once had

he touched the medicine. He had bribed the employee in the drugstore and told him to avoid the surveillance

cameras when he gave Lucy the medicine. In other words, no one could that the two fake medicinal prove

ingredients came from the drugstore.

“I can just say Lucy secretly swapped the medicine. “Why did she do that? Because Preston told her to. “Mom has

been fine all the while. But something happened to her not long after he has been back. What a coincidence.” The

more Jared thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed. Thus, he became calmer. Soon, an approaching siren

was heard and a police car arrived at the Blake Residence. A few police officers went into the house. “Hello, who

called the police?” The leader was a police officer in his thirties. He looked at Preston and asked, “What has

happened?” Seeing the horrifying bloodstains on the carpet, he asked again, “Whose blood is that?” “My grandma.

She suddenly vomited blood after taking the medicine. I suspect that someone is trying to kill her,” Preston said.

“Captain Leigh, there’s a bowl of tradition medicine here,” a police officer said. The captain asked Preston, “Did she

drink this bowl of medicine?” Preston nodded. “Take it back for testing,” said Captain Leigh. A police officer

immediately took the bowl away. “Who brewed the medicine? Who fed it to your grandma?” Captain Leigh asked.

“It’s… me,” Lucy raised her hand and said. She was panicking. But it wasn’t because of guilt.

Instead, she was afraid that she would be made the scapegoat while the bad guy got away with it and continued to

find an opportunity to harm Madam Blake. She could die for the old lady, but she could not take the blame for the

perpetrator. “Sir, I did cook the medicine and give it to the old lady, but I really didn’t poison her,” Lucy immediately

explained. Captain Leigh glanced at Preston. Preston nodded slightly. Captain Leigh said sternly to Lucy, “Come to

the police station with us to give a statement.” “I… Alright, I’ll go with you.” Lucy gritted her teeth. Afterward,

Captain Leigh and his men had a conversation with Preston, Jared, and other servants, asking them questions such

as who cooked for Madam Blake. And apart from the medicine,

whether anyone had given the old lady anything else that day. The servants waved their hands and denied it. It was

Lucy who took care of the old lady’s daily life. While they were responsible for cleaning the rooms and cooking for

others. Jared said that he came to see his mother every day and he lived in another building, but Lianne had been

staying with the old lady. In addition, Preston just came back a few days ago. He was paving the way for his setup

later. After the routine questioning ended, the police sealed the old lady’s and Lucy’s room with Preston’s

permission. Then, they brought the bowl and Lucy back to the police station. Jared stood up and said, “I’ll go to the

hospital to see my mom.” With that, he left the house.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he called the head of a media outlet he was familiar with and asked that

person to report the sensational news after Preston regained his memory, he forces Madam Blake to make a will

with poison and steals Blake Corporation. Three hours later… The news spread like wildfire, completely

overshadowing the news of Preston obtaining 60% of the shares of Blake Corporation. The netizens were bashing

Preston. “Go to hell!” “Ahhh, this is horrible. He wants to murder his own grandmother. He’s an ill-bred animal that

lacks mother’s teaching.” “What a hypocritical scum! He looks like a gentleman. Unexpectedly, he did such a thing.”

“This is outrageous. Let’s curse him to death!”

“There is no divine justice. Madam Blake raised them up, didn’t she? Now that he’s back, he wants to harm the old

lady for personal gain. Why wasn’t he killed in the car accident back then?” “That’s right. He should be a retard for

the rest of his life. This is so unfair. I’m pissed!” Looking at all kinds of abuse and insults hurled on the Internet,

Lianne couldn’t take it anymore. She found Preston in the corridor of the ward. Seeing that Preston was watching

the news, she immediately covered his phone and said sorrowfully, “Preston, don’t read the news” Preston looked

at his sister firmly and said, “It doesn’t matter. Let them. They can scold me as hard as they could. When I found

the perpetrator, they will all be my weapons.” “But Preston, when will we catch the perpetrator?” Lianne was

anxious. She didn’t mind if others insult her, but she was extremely upset when others condemned her brother.
