Chapter 397: Chatper 406

Chapter 406 Bastard Sylvia knew Harlow’s weaknesses, and targeted what he cared about.

“It’s not important whether that bastard lives or dies. The important thing is, someone isn’t taking your orders seriously! Someone’s disobeying you behind your back. If we don’t find out who it is and make an example out of this person, how can you maintain your authority here in the future?”

Someone dared not to listen to him? This point indeed hit Harlow where it hurt the most, and his temper flared.

“Investigate! Investigate right away!” he ordered his subordinates harshly.

“You don’t need to worry. I’ve already had someone investigate these past few days.”

Sylvia flipped her hair, showing off her accomplishments. “None of the servants bought any anti–inflammatory medicine. In these few days, the only person who used similar medication in the York family is just one person. Can you guess who?”

Harlow glared at her impatiently, and Sylvia hurriedly continued, “It’s Leo! A few days ago, he got injured while blocking a knife for Melanie. His arm was injured, and only his room has anti–inflammatory medicine and disinfectant.”

“Leo!” Harlow clenched his teeth. “He dares to go against me?”

“It’s not necessarily Leo going against you. I asked the servants who have been in and out of the courtyard these days.

Apparently, on the night of the banquet, Melanie came here, and not just once...”

Harlow squinted his eyes.

Melanie had been to Leo’s room, and it was indeed possible that she took the medicine from Leo. It was Melanie again!

“Go! Bring everyone who has seen Melanie go to Leo’s room to me!” Harlow ordered.

His subordinates quickly went to find them. Soon, two servants arrived in a rush.

One of them testified that he had taken Melanie through a small path to Leo’s room. However, when they passed by that courtyard, Melanie began to retch, so he went to get her a glass of water. As for whether Melanie entered the room during the time when he was gone, he didn’t know.

Meanwhile, the second servant said that Melanie came out of Joseph’s study, deliberately using a phone call as an excuse to send her way. However, she was cautious and hid behind a pillar. She saw Melanie go into the room, and even squatted outside the door for a while.

“Does Melanie know that idiot’s identity?” Harlow asked.

The servant, frightened, shook his head repeatedly. “I stayed far away, and couldn’t hear what was said inside the room. I don’t know if she knows or not...”

“Regardless of whether she knows or not, that child cannot be kept alive!” Harlow said ruthlessly.

“I agree. When he killed my dog last time, I already felt that this child is ruthless and can’t be kept alive,”

“Mr. York... Aren’t you afraid that his biological mother will come and look for him?” Although the subordinate was afraid, he still took the risk to remind Harlow.

“Do you think I’ll let a woman threaten me for a lifetime, huh?” Harlow stared at him with wide eyes, looking terrifying.

“But she’s not an ordinary woman...” The subordinate still tried to persuade Harlow.

“I told you to get rid of him! Can’t you understand?! Or do you want to die with him?” Harlow got angry, stood up, and slapped him.

The subordinate dared not say more and left to carry out the order.

Sylvia smirked, feeling triumphant, but she said coyly, “Harlow, you just arrived after a long journey. Let me help you take a bath. You’ll surely feel comfortable after that.”

Harlow exhaled deeply, and didn’t push her away this time. He allowed her to take him to the bathroom.

Sylvia felt smug. This time, she could share Harlow’s worries, which meant that she was different from those brainless vases. She had a brain, so she wasn’t going to be kicked out of the door so quickly.

In the evening, Melanie and Cyrus took a car to the York estate together.

When Joseph heard she was coming, he specifically instructed the chefs at home to inquire about her taste preferences and prepare several dishes she loved. He was very friendly and kind to her.

On the way, Melanie kept thinking that she had to take this opportunity to check on the child’s injuries.

Although she left a business card last time, she never received a call from that woman. Now that she had found the real culprit behind the poisoned dogs, she could truly clear the child’s name.
