Chapter 108 Danielle continued, "In the end, forensic experts would likely conclude that the disorientation was due to mental confusion, categorizing the death as a suicide. This outcome perfectly cleans the hands of the person who administered the poison."
The Darling family broke out in cold sweat. This poison was so domineering.
"The hospital equipment indeed couldnât detect anything; the final conclusion was that there were no physical problems. If I hadnât experienced it myself, that would have been the conclusion too, especially since this type of poison is unheard of," Austin said with a serious expression.
Danielle explained the poison in detail, "From what I understand, Scar Orchid isnât just unavailable on the regular market; itâs virtually impossible to find even on the black market.
"This is partly because the poison is difficult to counteract, and partly because it canât be detected by hospital equipment, making it inaccessible to the average person. So, if an investigation were to be initiated, the scope would actually be narrowed down."
"Danielle, you just sent the servants away. Are you suspecting that this poison was caused by food?" Joseph analyzed calmly and objectively.
"What? Joseph, you suspect that the servants have done something to us, but the servants in the house have been working for many years!" Xavierâs eyes widened.
Although he worked in the entertainment industry, he had the Darling family protecting him. That was why he was so innocent now and had nothing to worry about every day.
Joseph said, "Looks like Iâll have to strictly investigate the servants at home. If they can tamper with our food, they might slit our throats next time."
Xavier sighed. "Fortunately, we were the ones who were poisoned. Weâre young and strong. If it were Mom and Dad, I really wouldnât dare to think..."
"Thatâs right. Mom and Dad arenât as healthy as us. We can hold out for a while." Joseph agreed.
"Then what are we waiting for? Letâs call the servants in and interrogate them one by one. Weâll eventually find out who did it." Xavier thought that he had come up with the best solution.
"No, that would alert the enemy. Weâre out in the open and the enemy is in the dark, and weâre not sure how many of the servants in the house are centrifugal." Danielle directly rejected Xavierâs suggestion.
"Danielle is right. We need to go from visible to invisible, lure the snakes out of their holes, and root out all the pests at home." Elliot agreed with Danielle very much.
"Then weâll lure the snake out of its hole and let the person behind it take the initiative to expose himself." The Darling brothers discussed among themselves.
Danielle was deep in thought. She had a feeling that something big was about to happen. "The major families in Soufield, currently suffering from poisoning, essentially control the majority of Aleriaâs economy. Itâs very likely that the person behind the poisoning wants to replace these families with new ones, thereby using them for their own purposes.
"This also suggests that the mastermind has been setting up this game in Soufield for a long time, planting spies in each family who have been lying dormant for years, likely among those we commonly rely on."
When the Darling family heard Danielleâs analysis, they only felt lucky. Danielle was skilled in medicine, knew how to do business, was an expert in hypnosis, and could even manufacture firearms. Her every identity card was not simple.
Joseph said, "Next, weâll see which families make a move. Itâs very likely that theyâre related to the mastermind."
It made sense that Joseph could manage such a large company. He immediately found the problem. Danielle spoke up, "Brothers, although you took the Miracle Antidote to control the poison, there are still some poisons in your bodies that havenât been cleaned up. Iâll go back to my room to get some things first. Wait for me in the study."
David sent Danielle home and came straight to the Charrington Group.
Nathan walked in with a pile of documents. If David didnât come back soon, he would have to sleep in the company. "Mr. Charrington, these documents are rather urgent. Iâve already checked them. You can just sign them."
David had been busy ever since he arrived at the office. Recently, he had accumulated a lot of work. He did not even raise his head as he spoke indifferently, "Just put them down."
Nathan reminded, "Mr. Charrington, thereâs an international meeting in an hour."
"Okay," replied David. When David returned to the company, the happiest person was Nathan. He could finally relax.
Just as he walked to the door with a happy expression, he heard Davidâs cold voice behind him. "Nathan, youâre getting more and more inefficient."
Nathan turned around and met Davidâs cold gaze. He was a little confused. âWhat mistake have I made? Iâve been very strict recently!â
He said, "Mr. Charrington, please tell me more."
David said, "Why hasnât the Hill Group gone bankrupt yet? If youâre tired, I can give you some easy work, like a vacation abroad."
Nathan answered, "No, Iâm not tired at all. Donât worry, Mr. Charrington. In an hour, the Hill Group will be bankrupt."
He broke out in a cold sweat, hurriedly leaving the office. Officially, he was going on a vacation abroad, but more bluntly, it was like being banished.
Recently, being too busy had allowed the Hill Group to exploit an opportunity.
David took out his phone and sent a message in the group chat. He put his phone aside and continued working. [Come to the Nathor Palace tomorrow and Iâll detoxify you.]
Danielle brought over a few packets of traditional medicine. "Dad, Mom, Iâve prepared the medicine. Iâll get the maid to boil it for my brothers. Theyâll drink them after the acupuncture.
"When the medicine is brewed, watch by the side. Be careful of them tampering with it. If something goes wrong with this bowl of traditional medicine, it will cause a huge reaction."
Danielle knew that her parents would definitely watch from the side, but she had to remind them because the medicine was too important.
Howard said, "Donât worry, baby girl. I will watch without blinking." Then he and Vivian went downstairs to brew medicine for their sons.
"Brothers lie down first Iâm going to prepare for the acupuncture. The process might be more painful, so hang in there." Danielleâs eyes were filled with gloom.
"Itâs alright, Danielle. You can do whatever you want. We arenât afraid of pain," said Joseph.
Xavier also said, "Thatâs right. Iâm least afraid of pain... Danielle, give me acupuncture first. Iâll set an example for them."
In order not to worry Danielle, the brothers comforted her.
Danielle was a doctor. How could she not know if it hurt? In order to ease Xavierâs attention, she quickly inserted the needle while chatting.
"Ah..." As soon as the first needle was inserted, Xavier grimaced in pain.
"Really disappointing, you just said you would set an example for us, and now, at the very first injection, you are already crying out. Just wait and see how I handle it; I wonât make a sound." Austin saw Xavierâs grimace. Not only did he not comfort Xavier, but he also made sarcastic remarks at the side.
The second and third needles landed on the acupuncture points.
Xavier was already crying in despair from the pain.
Not A Small Town Girl (Danielle and David)
ï¤Chapter 107 "If I find out who the bastard is that poisoned me, Iâll wipe them out..." Although he was crying, he kept cursing.
"Xavier, canât you be a real man? Youâre a man, but youâre like a weak little girl who canât take care of herself. Donât you have the cheek to cry in front of Danielle? I really want to take a photo of your ugly state for your fans to see," Matthew said harshly again.
The brothers said this to divert Xavierâs attention, but their words were a little harsh...
Danielle was worried that Xavier would move back and forth in pain, causing her to lose her balance. She looked at her brothers and said seriously, "Joseph, hold Xavier down. The next needles will hurt more and more. He must not move." Joseph said, "Donât worry, Danielle. Weâll hold Xavier down now and make sure he canât move. If you find it noisy, we can even cover his mouth."
