Chapter 248: Chapter 248 Lock Her Up

Everyone was quiet after hearing what Tiffany had said, so she asked again, “Who was poisoned?”

“A servant at home!” the butler replied.

“A servant? How could it be possible? I only gave my cake to Miss George. How could a servant be poisoned if I had never given it to anyone else?”

As she said this, she turned to look at Eudora, “Miss George, could you please tell me what’s going on now? How could you do this to my good intentions?”

Eudora remained silent. She studied Tiffany carefully and wondered what had gone wrong.

She had never left her room ever since Tiffany gave her the cake until it was being thrown away. However, if Tiffany was not the one who had poisoned the cake, then who could it be?

Harry, who was standing next to her, said, “Miss Leon, don’t be anxious. Let’s have a face-to-face discussion since you’re already here. Eudora said that you were the one who had given her the cake, so we called you over. Tell me, have you seen anyone before you gave it to her?”

Tiffany shook her head, “No! I haven’t seen anyone, and I gave it to her right after I made it. We are living together and she would be the future daughter-in-law of the Granger family, so I thought I should have a good relationship with her. That way, perhaps Vincent and I could have a better life in the future. But I did not expect this to happen at all!”

Tiffany then suddenly said, “If you didn’t want to eat the cake that I had made for you, then you could have just returned it to me. Why did you give it to the servants? I’m not a member of the family but I am not a vicious person. How could you do this?”

Eudora pursed her lips, “I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable, and I apologize for that. However, I still want to know why the cake was poisoned.”

Tiffany’s eyes widened in surprise. “Are you saying that I was the one who poisoned it? I just came to the Granger family, what good would that do for me? I think that you are just afraid that we will threaten your position, so you deliberately poisoned the cake to get rid of Vincent and me! Why are you such a horrible person? Our lives are already hard enough without a husband and a father. What kind of threat could we be to you?”

Eudora’s heart sank, “Nonsense.”

“Am I talking nonsense? Then tell me, why was the cake poisoned? At the end of the day, the cake was taken out of your room!”

Bethany was slightly disappointed as she stared at Eudora. “Did you really do this?”

“Of course not!” Eudora said through gritted teeth, “There’s no way for me to clear my name anyway. In that case, why don’t you just call the police then!”

She was not afraid since she was not the one who did it. If someone else had done it, they would definitely leave some evidence behind.

“Call the police?” the Old Master suddenly said, “Don’t you think it’s shameful enough to have such a thing happen in our family?”

“What should we do then?” Harry asked, “We can’t just let this go. What if the bad guy comes out and hurts the people in the house again?”

The Old Master frowned, “Lock the four of them up. We’ll talk about it once we find out about the truth.”

Bethany looked at Vincent hurriedly, “Old Master, the child is innocent!”

Harry added, “Brother, Vincent is Hank’s child. It’s not good to lock him up when he had just returned, right?”

The Old Master frowned and said angrily, “What? Are you all refusing to listen to me now?”

At this moment, the butler came in with a document, “Old Master, the results of the paternity test have come out!”

The Old Master quickly got up, “Bring it over.”

He opened the file and he laughed loudly after looking at it for a while.

“He is related to me by blood. He really is Hank’s child.”

Bethany ran to Vincent excitedly and hugged him. “My Hank!”

However, Tiffany pulled Vincent back instead, “Let’s go. The Granger family can’t tolerate us and even tried to frame us on the day we arrived. Forget it, let’s go.”

Bethany ran over hurriedly and stopped her. “Where are you going? Where are you taking Hank’s child?”

“This is my child!” Tiffany looked as though she had been wronged, “I thought that it would be a comfort for Hank by bringing Vincent back here, but it seems that I was wrong after all!”

When she said this, she looked at Eudora with hatred.

“I did not expect that there would be such a dreadful person in this world. I took the initiative to be nice but instead, I was used by others. I don’t want to stay here any longer. I am afraid that we will lose our lives if we continue to stay here.”

She then turned to leave. Bethany held her arm hurriedly and said, “Don’t do this. We haven’t found out the truth yet. No one said that you were the culprit!”

Harry said hurriedly, “Bethany, isn’t it obvious? Didn’t someone do this because she was afraid that her child’s status would drop? No wonder my brother doesn’t like her. Such a scheming person!”

“That’s right. It’s very obvious!”

The Old Master frowned. He paused for a long time before finally speaking, “Lock Eudora up.”

Juju suddenly jumped up and stood in front of Eudora. “You are not allowed to lock my Mommy up!”

“Juju, come here!” the Old Master called.

“No! You are a bad guy. You want to lock my Mommy up!”

The Old Master’s face turned livid, “Who taught you to talk like that!?”

“You’re bad!” Juju gritted her teeth, “I want to find my Daddy! He will definitely believe me and Mommy!”

“Juju…” Eudora hugged Juju hurriedly, “You can’t punish us like this. It’s illegal!”

“This is a family matter. How is that illegal? Why haven’t you locked her up yet?”

After that, the servants immediately went over and took Eudora and Juju away.

Eudora was afraid that they would hurt Juju, so she held her daughter in her arms tightly. The pair was then brought into a dark room and the door was closed.

The room fell into darkness. Juju was scared and she turned to hug Eudora. “Mommy…”

“Don’t be afraid!” Eudora said, “Mommy is here. We will be able to go out once Daddy gets off work!”

Juju nodded and said sadly, “Why doesn’t Grandpa trust us?”

Eudora shook her head, “Children shouldn’t guess what the adults are thinking. Mommy is very happy as long as Juju is willing to trust Mommy.”

…

At the same time, Amos was busy with one of the company’s projects. There was a serious quality issue in the houses that the company had purchased recently. The level of formaldehyde in the houses even went above the permitted standard, and this posed a serious risk in the real estate industry.

The other party had already begun to report and publicize the scandal on the Internet and Amos decided to check it out personally after thinking about it.

He took out his mobile phone and tried to call Eudora. However, no one answered the phone even after a long time.

He dialed the number again and the butler finally answered the phone.

“Where’s Eudora?” Amos asked.

The butler paused for a moment and said, “Oh, Miss George is playing with Juju in the garden. What can I do for you? Shall I ask her to answer the phone?”
