Chapter 42 Just Because I’m an Outsider
Roselle was stunned for a moment, but she immediately nodded. “Yes, that’s true, but what do you mean by that, Miss Reinhart? Do you think I’ll really drug Gregory? Both families have such a close relationship, so it is impossible for me to do that and I have no reason to do so.”
Her face was relaxed as she added, “Instead, I think it’s you, Miss Reinhart. Sadly, I thought you really liked Greg and that’s the reason why you’re so good to him. In order to improve my relationship with Greg, I even asked you for advice on how to get along with him, but I didn’t expect…”
At this point, Yana suddenly sneered, “Oh, yes. After all, it is the first time that you have come into contact with such a wealthy family. If you think about it, it is understandable for you to develop bad intentions.”
The mother and daughter spoke one after another and dished out all the dirt on Tessa. Tessa’s expression was extremely dark as she knew that these two were talking nonsense. At the same time, she realized in her heart that she could not compete with them.
Hence, she simply raised her head and looked at Nicholas resolutely. Her tone was steadfast as she said to him, “President Sawyer, I swear that I never did anything to hurt Greg. If you must accuse me, please produce the evidence then!”
Her attitude was so unwavering that everyone around her suddenly doubted the accusation for a second. Tessa was honest and trustworthy, so she wouldn’t acknowledge anything that she didn’t do. For some reason, Nicholas felt a little shaken in his heart, but before he had time to speak, Stefania interrupted, “Miss Reinhart, we haven’t found any evidence yet, but you are indeed the most suspicious one!”
Tessa chuckled, her tone full of irony. “So, do people in large families like yours like to jump to conclusions? Just because I’m an outsider, I’m most suspicious?”
“Um…” Stefania was lost for words.
Seeing that the situation was heading in the wrong direction, Roselle immediately took the initiative to stand up and suggest, “Okay, since Miss Reinhart refuses to admit it, let’s do it this way: the only people who have been in contact with juice are you, me, and Andrew, so the three of us should be investigated together.”
When Yana heard this, she nodded quickly. “Yes, since you won’t admit it, let’s just accept the investigation together and see who the evidence points to, which will naturally reveal the truth.”
Tessa was in a terrible mood when she heard that. She was initially worried about Greg, so she hurried over, but not only did she not see him, she also bizarrely suffered an accusation. Nevertheless, she obviously didn’t want to take the blame, so she nodded and readily agreed. “Okay, I agree to cooperate with the investigation.”
Yana snorted coldly and said, “Then, call the police!”
The people around them no longer had any objections. Soon, the police came. Because this matter concerned the Little Prince of the Sawyer Family, the police did not dare to slack off. As soon as they arrived at the scene, they bowed their heads and assured, “Old Master Sawyer, don’t worry. We will definitely investigate this matter in depth!”
Subsequently, the police began a series of operations. The police mainly investigated two different parts—the first was to search the villa while the second was to investigate the personal belongings of the three people. No matter who was carrying drugs, they could detect even a little powder residue. As for the villa, several police officers were dispatched to investigate.
Over at the hospital’s side, Kieran looked for the hospital director, who freed up a room to investigate the three suspects: Tessa, Roselle, and Andrew. They took out their personal belongings and sent them to the police for inspection. Besides, the police interrogated them and learned about their respective itineraries earlier today.
Tessa didn’t want to be wronged, so she explained honestly, “I came to Dynasty Gardens in the morning, and had lunch with President Sawyer and Young Master Gregory at noon. Next, I taught the young master a violin lesson in the afternoon. After that, I went back to the orchestra…”
“That is to say, you haven’t been to other places during that time?” The police’s shrewd eyes met hers.
She nodded affirmatively. “That is correct!”
The police took notes, nodded, and then began to interrogate Roselle and Andrew. Andrew’s itinerary was simple—he had been in Dynasty Gardens all day, so naturally there was nothing strange about that. As for Roselle, she said that she only returned to the country yesterday and came to the villa the next day. Stefania had accompanied her for the entire trip, so she wouldn’t have the opportunity to buy any drugs. Therefore, both Andrew and Roselle were ruled out by the police at once.
At that, Tessa’s heart sank. Her bad premonition in her heart was getting stronger!
