Chapter 1961

The expression on Joann’s face drastically changed.

Everything was different from what she had imagined.

She asked in shock, “Stella? Why are you here?”

Joann almost asked where Lindsay was.

Fortunately, her last bit of sense made her suddenly shut up.

Stella looked at Joann’s almost twisted face coldly and said, “Why am I here? Of course, my husband is here.

If I’m not here, where should I be? Or are you expecting to see someone else here?”

The expression on Joann’s face changed upon hearing Stella’s last question.

She was rendered speechless.

Bennett glanced at Joann.

Then, he turned to Stella and said apologetically, “It’s our fault.

We heard Matthew was not feeling well, so we came here to check on him.

If he really feels unwell, I’ll have someone take you to the hospital first.

”

He could tell at a glance that Matthew was drugged.

At the thought of this, his face darkened slightly.

“I’m sorry for causing you trouble one after another at my party.

I’ll ask someone to investigate this matter and give you an explanation.

”

Stella also wanted to solve this matter once and for all.

She didn’t want any more delays, so she nodded slightly, Looked at Joann coldly, and said, “Thank you, Mr.

Lowell.

It is really necessary to investigate this thoroughly.

”

Of course, Joann knew that Stella’s words were directed at her.

At the thought that her plan had failed again, she gritted her teeth secretly.

She hated Stella to the core.

After scheming so much and stirring up trouble for Stella, she kept failing.

However, she was still unwilling to give up.

Joann said deliberately, “Mrs.

Clark is right.

This matter has to be investigated.

Since someone wants to ruin my engagement party and steal the limelight, I won’t just stand by.

To prove my innocence, let’s start the investigation with me.

”

Her lounge was two rooms away.

She went there, took her bag over, and emptied its contents in front of them.

Bennett watched her disapprovingly and frowned.

“What are you doing?”

“I’m proving my innocence.

Didn’t Mrs.

Clark ask us to investigate this matter thoroughly?” Joann replied.

Bennett didn’t like it.

Their guests were all respectable and influential people.

This approach would undoubtedly offend everyone.

His gaze swept over the crowd.

Sure enough, many of them already looked disgusted.

However, Joann was not the type of person who listened to advice.

After emptying her bag, she also picked up Stella’s bag and emptied its contents.

Inside Stella’s bag was a small medicine bottle.

Joann immediately picked it up, looked at it with narrowed eyes, and asked, “Mrs.

Clark, what’s this? Are you not feeling well? Why would you bring a medicine bottle to a party? Why doesn’t it have a label? What kind of medicine is this?”

Someone with sharp eyes suddenly said, “Mrs.

Clark and Miss Crawford had a conflict just now.

Did Mrs.

Clark want to take revenge on Miss Crawford?”

“No way! Mrs.

Clark won’t be so petty.

Will she sacrifice her husband’s reputation just to take revenge on others? That is too cruel.

”

Joann heard the crowd’s discussion clearly.

Deep in her heart, she was overjoyed.

But on the surface, she pretended to be aggrieved.

“Mrs.

Clark, even if you are dissatisfied with what happened before the party, I have already changed my dress.

Why do you still hold a grudge against me?”
