Chapter 446

Logan said to Humpty, “Tell them everything you know.”

Humpty immediately shouted, “I’m not to blame! Zeke and Daniel forced me to do this!”

“What did they force you to do?”

Humpty explained, “Zeke had a grudge against Hades. He wanted to kill him, but he was incapable of doing that. Coincidentally, Hades had pancreatic cancer, and he hadn’t found a doctor who could help him. Zeke saw his chance to kill Hades while claiming medical malpractice. Therefore, he made me pretend to be a pancreatic cancer patient and announce to the public that Daniel Hinton cured me.

When Hades caught wind of that, naturally, he went to visit Hinton’s clinic. It was then Daniel Hinton killed Hades and claimed it was malpractice.”

“Y-You...” Daniel was trembling from the anger in him. “Nonsense! I’ve never diagnosed you with pancreatic cancer. You only have Yang-deficiency.”

Humpty huffed, “That’s enough. Stop pretending. If you really diagnosed me with Yang-deficiency, why do I have pancreatic cancer written in my report?”

With that said, he took out his health report to show it to the crowd.

Daniel hissed, “Y-You ba****d! You refused to let me write my diagnosis on the report back then. You clearly wrote that diagnosis yourself.”

Humpty responded, “Aren’t you a stubborn one? To tell you the truth, Mr. Hugh had already sent it for a handwriting examination. The results confirmed these words were your writing!”

It was then Daniel realized that they had used him.

He refuted, “Handwriting can be faked. Moreover, the medications I’ve prescribed for Hades are ordinary tonic. It’s beneficial, and there are no side effects. He can’t possibly die from that.”

“Is that so?” Logan smirked as he shouted in the door’s direction again, “Come in.”

Soon, someone brought a pot into the hall.

Logan said, “Come and take a look. Is this your prescription?”

Daniel hurriedly stepped forward to check. “Wolfberry, ginseng, rhubarb, angelica... This is the tonic I prescribed to him.”

Logan replied, “Then that’s right. We’ve detected dimethyl sulfoxide, a highly toxic substance, in the tonic residue. The cause of Hades’ death was due to dimethyl sulfoxide poisoning. How can you say you didn’t poison him?”

Daniel’s face turned ashen. “I don’t know what you’re talking about. I don’t put such things in my prescription.”

“You won’t be the one to decide that. Men, take him away.”

When he saw Logan’s men stepping forward to arrest him, fury and anxiety overwhelmed Daniel’s senses. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed onto the chair.

“Dad!” Lacey screamed as she rushed forward to gently pat on her father’s chest, fearing that the blood would get stuck in his throat.

Humpty shouted, “Where’s Zeke Williams? Why isn’t he here? He must have absconded from his crime. Officer Hugh, you have to get Zeke Williams. He’s the mastermind.”

At the side, Summer’s face was red.

She was sure that Humpty was framing Zeke.

Without a doubt, Humpty was resentful that Zeke had taken her away from him.

She had involved Lacey and her family because of her private matters; she could not stand aside and watch as she did nothing.

She rushed forward and cursed, “Humpty, t-this is ridiculous. Mr. Williams let you off the last time. Not only were you not grateful for it, but you’re even taking revenge on him now. You’re shameless.”

Humpty spat, “The one who’s shameless is he. Who does he think he is to steal my woman? He should look at himself in the mirror and think about what he’s done.”

Summer explained, “You’ve misunderstood Zeke. I forced him to pretend to be my boyfriend so that I can get rid of you. We’re nothing but an employer and an employee. Mr. Williams is a respectful man, and he already has a family. He’ll never spare more than a glance at an ordinary woman like me.

Moreover, I know Mr. Williams and Ms. Hinton are the perfect pair. Why would I be the third wheel in their relationship? Am I that kind of woman in your eyes?”

Humpty slapped his forehead and gasped in realization, “F**k. And I was wondering why that useless Zeke would have a mistress, despite being so in love with his wife. The woman that I’m interested in wouldn’t be someone’s mistress. Summer, I’ve misunderstood you. As long as you agree to marry me, I’ll spare Zeke’s life.”
