Chapter 48

A while later, they finally arrived at Dynasty Gardens.

When Nicholas and Andrew headed into the house after exiting the car, Edward was already waltina for them in the living room as he nodded dutifully upon the sight of Nicholas. “President Sawyer!”

Nicholas hummed in acknowledgement and didn’t say anything else before asking, “What did you discover?”

Then, Edward nodded and started reporting, “President Sawyer, after our conversation, I went to check all the hidden surveillance cameras in the mansion. According to what I saw, Miss Gingham didn’t do anything. However… After Gregory drank the juice, I heard some of the servants there merrtioning that they saw Miss Gingham’s mother, Yana Johnson, touching Young Master Gregory’s cup. They also said that Yana was acting really suspicious and it seemed like she placed something in the cup. Of course, I’ve already asked some of the men to send the cup to Mr. Sawyer’s place to identify what was placed there and the results should be out soon!”

Right then, Nicholas’ facial expression changed. “Yana Johnson?”

“Yes.” Edward nodded, to which Nicholas’ gaze darkened. “Alright.”

Then, he turned and instructed, “Andrew, go upstairs and prepare a few sets of outfits for Greg so that we can bring them over later.”

“Yes, Master Nicholas.”

While Andrew went upstairs to pack Gregory’s stuff, Nicholas stayed in the living room to wait for Andrew. However, his demeanor was cold and his presence pressurizing.

About half an hour later, the sound of the car engine stopping rang out.

When Edward went out to take a look and understand the situation, he rushed back inside and reported, “President Sawyer, Mr. Sloan is here!”

Upon hearing that, Nicholas’ gaze slightly brightened.

A few seconds later, a slender and tall man in a gray suit entered the house and it was none other than Ashton Sloan, Nicholas’ childhood friend.

Ashton was an extremely handsome man who sported a gray suit and a pair of glasses that had gold rims. He was wearing an expensive watch while giving off a wise look, which matched his identity as he was awarded with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine at a young age. As the youngest Nobel Prize winner in the country, it was an understatement to say that Ashton was a genius.

When he entered, Nicholas looked at him before asking coldly, “Why are you here?”

With a smile on his face, Ashton answered chirpily, “I’m obviously here to tell you the results of your investigation.”

Nicholas’ gaze darkened. Although he didn’t ask anything, he knew that Ashton’s presence was enough to prove that something was indeed wrong with Gregory’s cup.

As expected, Ashton took Gregory’s cup out of its packaging after he sat on the couch.

The cup was kept in a sealed plastic bag attached with a document file that contained the report.

Nicholas glanced at the cup as curiosity flashed past his gaze. “What’s the result?”

Instead of beating around the bush, Ashton cut to the chase and explained, “There are drug residuals on the cup. From what I found, the drug was just released into the market for sale abroad two months ago to treat headaches. The content of the drug is fine for adults, but extremely harmful to children.

Fortunately, the drug properties were suppressed by the orange juice, so I’m guessing that Greg had a Cup of water after drinking the orange juice. The drug in the cup entered Greg’s stomach after that and reacted with the orange juice, so he ended up with minor poisoning.”

White Ashton explained with detailed analysis, Nicholas’ face darkened as his demeanor turned cold.

Trying his best to suppress his anger, Nicholas asked with a chilly voice, “How can I get evidence on what happened?”

Sentencing Yana to a crime based on the testimonies of a few servants was way too careless and he could only take revenge for Gregory with concrete evidence.

Ashton immediately adjusted his glasses and answered, “Actually, it’s easy to get evidence for this drug. As long as you can determine whether the person who drugged the orange juice has symptoms of headache and go through the list of medicines that the person uses, the truth will be revealed.”
