“Yes,” the guard replied. “Doctor Harris was here.”“Doctor Harris said that she brought some beauty products for the Madam.” Judy pointed to the products where Winona had placed them in the living room.Michael took up the things, had a look, and placed it down. “When did Doctor Harris leave?”“Around noon,” Judy replied.Michael nodded his head and looked at the security guard. “Alright, now get me the surveillance tapes from the camera outside.”“The recordings aren’t complete today because we lost power for a few hours,” the guard answered.“A power outage? When did this happen?”“It stopped for around two hours after Doctor Harris had arrived,” the guard said. Michael’s forehead creased when he heard this. After all, he wanted to see what had happened during Winona’s visit, but how was he supposed to do that without the tapes?Wait a second. The security guard said that the power went out after Winona had arrived. Did that mean she had something to do with his mother’s a
“It really wasn’t me, Michael! Why won’t you believe me?” Christina tried to explain to him. “She was already on the floor when I arrived.”“Who would it be other than you?” Michael had an icy expression on his face as the rim of his eyes draped in coldness. “Are you saying that my mom would slap herself intentionally? Are you saying that’s how she fell and fainted?” It did not feel good to be accused of something she did not do, and honestly, Christina had not been expecting Heather’s apology a few days prior. Even the way Heather treated her had changed and Christina could see that she was sincere. Who knew that something so unfortunate like this would happen after that and dragged her along with it?“It wasn’t me! What must I do for you to believe in me?”“You prove that you had nothing to do with my mom’s injuries!”The bad thing was that everything was pointed towards Christina now. Since there were no surveillance tapes nor witnesses, how would Christina obtain the evidence
“Calm down? How am I supposed to calm down? My mom is already in this condition, yet Christina got away unscathed! As Heather’s son, am I supposed to just watch things happen?” Michael raged. “I will send that evil woman to jail!”“You shouldn’t treat Miss Williams that way. She’s pregnant!”“Yeah. Miss Williams is pregnant now, and we shouldn’t send her to the police station,” Judy added.“I don’t care, she’s obviously using my child as ransom right now! There are plenty of women out there who can give me a child. Why should I tie myself to this one? You’ve seen for yourself how vicious Christina is, Logan. How blind was I to keep this kind of person next to me?”Michael must have been entirely consumed by anger for him to say something like that.“Yes, I get it, but you have to think about the kids too. Travis is still sick, and Miss Williams is carrying another child. If she goes to jail, both the children will definitely be affected.”Logan was panicking. Would Michael really
“No, I think that Judy did it intentionally. She wanted Michael to suspect me.”Francis tried to console her. “Even though Michael had suspected you, he really is in a terrible situation right now and is easily misguided by others. Moreover, Judy had been indoctrinating the same thing to him, so we can’t blame him for losing his judgment. Things will be better when he calms down.”“I hope so. Anyway, I didn’t push Heather, so I’m not afraid of anything. I don’t care what he thinks.”On the other hand, Michael and Logan shared a car as they drove out from the Larson villa. Logan said worriedly, “I still don’t think Christina would do such a thing, President Larson. I think that you’ve got the wrong person.”“I didn’t think that she'd do something like that too,” Michael replied.“Then why were you so mad just now?” Logan was shocked by what he heard and glanced at Michael.“I was just putting up an act.” Michael gave a cold laugh as iciness flashed underneath his eyes.“For who?”
“Every single thing Judy said was directed at Christina, and it seemed that she wanted to mislead me into thinking that Christina had pushed my mom.”Judy did not see for herself what had happened, yet she was confident that Christina was behind this. Something seemed off, and the only explanation was that Judy wanted to cover up the truth by lying to Michael. Logan noticed that too, but he was still unsure of it. “Perhaps she was just guessing and merely told us her speculations. She probably didn’t have bad intentions toward Miss Williams.”It would be fine if Judy did not watch what she said if it had been a minor injury, but this incident could cost his mother’s life, and she knew perfectly the gravity of the issue. If she went on and defamed someone despite this, then something very wrong must have happened.“I initially thought that she had made such absurd remarks about Christina because she was worried about my mom. However, I noticed that my mom hasn’t been treating her w
“That would be fine. I’ve already hired two nurses to look after her in the hospital ward. They’ll be there day and night.” Michael was suspicious of Judy and would never let her go near his mother’s ward. “How is that okay? Outsiders don’t understand the Old Madam’s habits. I should go there. Since the Old Madam is hospitalized, I have nothing much to do at home too.”Judy was genuine in her words and pretended to be a loyal employee as she insisted on going to the hospital to take care of Heather.“I know that you mean well, but the doctor said that my mom’s in critical condition now. What she needs are professional nurses and not normal civilians like us.”He sighed and tiredness began to show on his face. “I’ve already taken care of things for my mom, so you really shouldn’t worry about it. Moreover, I usually stay at the company, and someone should look after my house. I think that you’re the perfect candidate.”It was obvious that he was bestowing onto her an important task
“I understand Michael’s pain. I was pissed back then too, but after giving it some thought, I realized that I’ll do just the same.”“Unbelievable. How are you still taking his side?” Ariel was disappointed in her friend. “I don’t even know how to talk you out of this. I can’t believe that you’re still talking good about him after Larson had treated you that way. Do you want him to bully you more?”“This isn’t a small issue. We’re talking about a life here.” Christina reminded Ariel. “Things won’t be such a big deal if Heather fell on her own, but I don’t think that’s the case here.”“Yeah, I think the same too,” Matthew interrupted. “I can’t be sure for the others, but I’ll never believe that Heather would do such a thing. She’d never place saffron in Christina’s soup.”“Perhaps that witch wanted to ruin Michael and Christina’s relationship completely.” Ariel still stood by what she said.“No way. Heather would never do anything to hurt her grandchildren. There’s no reason for her
After obtaining this clue, Michael told his men to keep an eye on the matter. He also ordered them to track Winona’s trail from the surveillance cameras outside the Larson villa. The surveillance cameras showed that Winona did not leave her home alone. There was another person in her car, and the unidentified person had covered up so much that it was impossible to see if it had been a man or a woman.After Winona drove away from the villa, the figure appeared once again in the car, and it was impossible to see who it was. Eventually, the car stopped at a corner, and the mysterious person left the car in a rush.All the surveillance footage in the villa had been destroyed, but the nearest camera outside the villa suggested that Winona had brought that person there. There must be a reason that she had kept this a secret from them.As the villa’s security guard knew that Winona and Heather were good friends, he did not check their car and let her get away with it.Electricity was st
