The man grunted in just three or four minutes and slowly woke up.
The head chef beside him was immediately stunned. Mrs. Ryker is truly amazing! I did not expect that!
Emmeline told the head chef, âGet him a cup of water.â
âYes, Ms. Louise!â The head chef said and rushed to get the water.
Emmeline patted the manâs face and asked, âCan you talk? Tell me what happened.â
The man struggled and looked at Abel and Adam behind Emmeline.
âMr. Adam, Mr. Abel, please forgive me. I only took a bite of the food.â
âYou did something good.â Adam frowned and said, âOtherwise, it would be a big trouble if the food was served.â
âTell me which food you ate?â Abel squatted down to ask.
âAm I poisoned?â The man said, âWas there poison in that food?â
âJust tell me which food you ate!â Abel urged.
âRoasted chicken.â The man said, âI only stole a piece from the table.â
âRoasted chicken!â Adam said while sprinting toward the kitchen.
âI fear itâs not just that one,â Emmeline told Adam. âWe should They quickly rushed to the kitchen. go too.â
The head chef handed a cup of water to the man and said, âYou seem fine now; drink the water yourself. I must take a look at the kitchen. Things are getting serious today! It could end my career!â
Adam yelled loudly when he reached the kitchen, âStop serving the roasted chicken and soup!â
Emmeline took out a needle and said, âIâll test the others.â
Everyone moved aside to make way for Emmeline, âEmma, let me help you,â Abel said.
Emmeline nodded and said, âBring that pot of lamb shank for me to test.â
The chef beside them said, âIâll do it.â
Abel immediately said, âDonât move!â I could not trust anyone at this moment!
Emmeline tested the pot of lamb shanks with the needle. Luckily, it did not change color.
âThis one is fine.â Emmeline pointed to another pot of food and said, âBring me that one!â
The needle turned black.
Abel frowned immediately. Adam behind him said, This is also poisoned.â
Abel stood up and said, âIn that case, close this kitchen immediately. Keep the poisoned ingredients as evidence, and everyone will be detained. Nobody leaves until this matter is settled!â
Adam nodded and said, âAgreed.â
Emmeline asked, âWhat about todayâs banquet? Should we hand it over to other kitchens? Can they handle it?â
âThatâs the only way,â Abel said. âFree up the chefs to prepare the wedding banquet, or we wonât make it in time.â
âI think itâll work,â Adam said. âIâll settle it. Iâll instruct the front desk not to take orders anymore.â
Abel told the chef, âDump all the ingredients into the garbage cans for storage, then sanitize them.â
âYes, Mr. Abel!â The head chef said.
Then he asked those around, âWhat are you waiting for?â
Everyone began to dump all the ingredients into the garbage cans.
Luca ordered someone to drag the garbage cans out for sanitization.
Subsequently, all the workers in the kitchen were taken away by Rykerâs security department. Rykerâs security department personnel stayed over for inspections while Abel and Emmeline returned to the wedding hall.
Fortunately, everything was handled discreetly and seemed normal in the hall.
âMs. Louise, have you seen Sun?â Daisy ran over and said Abel and Emmeline were stunned momentarily and said, âWhat happened to Sun?â
Daisy said, âSun is missing. I looked everywhere and couldnât find him.â
Abel and Emmeline felt something was wrong after considering what had just happened in the kitchen.
Was today destined to be tumultuous?
