Chapter 1251 A Slow-Acting Poison

After observing River's reluctance to take the medicine, Olivia set the bottle on the table.

"It's up to you whether you believe it or not. Your wound will heal even if you don't get it. It

will take longer and cause you a bit more discomfort."

Then, Albert picked up the bottle from the table and said, "Miss Maxwell, how could we not

believe you?" While saying this, he handed the bottle directly to River.

Meanwhile, River held the bottle as if it were a hot potato. He was in a pickle, unsure

whether to keep or toss it. He worried that it might be some kind of poison that worked

over time. Why else would she ask me to use it frequently? Obviously, it's a slow-acting

poison. His mind was filled with thoughts of her trying to harm him.

On the other hand, Albert did not think as deeply as River but was perplexed by Olivia's

sudden kindness. What does she mean by this? Does she believe our words?

Soon, she uttered, "Mr. Bleu, could you help me go to the police station as a witness?"

When Albert heard this, he immediately responded, "Of course, I would be honored."

"Wait for me a moment." After saying this, she left the room and called Eugene.

An hour later, Eugene and Alex appeared in the private room, where Olivia reintroduced

everyone and exchanged greetings.

Afterward, she recounted Albert's encounter with Blood Rose to Eugene and Alex. She

concluded by saying, "Mr. Bleu said he is willing to help testify."

After hearing this, Alex excitedly approached Albert and shook his hand. "Then, I have to

thank you on behalf of my girlfriend, Mr. Bleu."

However, Albert was surprised to hear that and asked, "Miss Fenton is your girlfriend?"

Alex replied, "Yes."

Albert had not forgotten that Winnie was Jewel's aunt and knew their relationship was not

too distant. At this moment, it dawned on him that Eurosian people might be able to get

along with Eugene and Alex. However, it took him a while to regain his composure before

saying, "Mr. Road, you're welcome. I consider Miss Maxwell a friend, and her friends are

my friends. It's only a small favor."

Olivia sensed that his words were quite strategic, as she could not keep him away with his

current assistance, regardless of whether she wanted to be involved with him.

Nonetheless, she was willing to part with the necklace if they could save Jewel.

Then, Alex replied, "Thank you. In fact, while I was on duty at the doctor's office, I

discovered evidence that the window had been wire-bound. The nurse on duty mentioned

that she had taken a short nap, presumably when the woman disguised as a nurse

entered the ward and committed the murder."

After hearing this, Olivia and Eugene exchanged glances, and she proposed, "Let's not

delay any longer. Let's go directly to the police station!"

Everyone stood up, went to the clinic to retrieve the restored surveillance footage, and

headed to the police station.

On the way, Alex called Peter because it would be more convenient if he was present. He

also asked Peter to assist him in finding a competent lawyer because they were unfamiliar

with the laws of this country.

The police quickly met with them as they had heard about Alex and the others before, so

naturally, they couldn't easily offend Alex and the others. Nonetheless, the police had no

choice but to take the matter seriously after receiving an anonymous tip that Jewel could

be located at the clinic.

While the police were still confused about the situation, Alex and the others already had

new evidence, and the police couldn't afford to show any attitude. Hence, the police re-

investigated and collected evidence based on the information provided. They also took

statements from Albert, River, Olivia, and others.

It was confirmed that on the night of the 3rd, Jewel did not leave her home, let alone

engage in a fight, and Olivia presented surveillance footage from the clinic and hospital as

additional evidence.

River further verified that the nurse in the surveillance video of the hospital who fought

with him had a figure comparable to the woman in the footage. It was also consistent with

the timeline that Brett passed away shortly after the woman left the nursing station.

Later, the police also had experts examine River's injuries, confirming that he sustained

them four days prior and proving he had not lied.
