The scene was utter chaos.The Rivas family was skilled in using poison, and it was very difficult to uncover their traces, even with modern medical practices.In situations like this, a poison doctor from the Rivas family was needed. While waiting for the doctor, Julius personally went forward to take a look. Then, without saying anything, he gestured for Ruth to leave with him.Abel glanced at Denver before he followed Ruth.After taking two steps, he stopped and turned to look at Piers. “Come along.”Piers subconsciously placed himself on the same side as Ruth. He had wanted to stay and observe the situation to see what would happen to Denver. But on second thought, he figured it might be more effective to help Ruth plead for leniency.Hence, he finally stood up and left with Abel. ......As soon as Abel and Piers walked into Julius’s study, they could hear him speak with suppressed anger.“What on earth were you thinking?! I’ve already said that your investigation has n
If Piers had been left alone at the stage, he would have been ostracized by his fellow students and the seniors. Even the most steadfast person could waver from this.However, bringing him along changed the situation. It allowed him to avoid the pressure of public opinion and brought him closer to Ruth’s side.“Mr. Julius, just call me Abel.” Abel did not clarify and only corrected him politely.Julius snorted, but answered his question, “There’s a small issue with the surveillance camera: It’s currently under repairs.”Abel narrowed his eyes. “What a coincidence.”Julius said nothing.Abel continued, “Do you need help? My company has competent staff who can handle such matters.”Julius said coldly, “So does my family. There’s no need for us to trouble you for such a small matter.”Abel was speechless. Julius still held a grudge against him.He was indeed angry, but since things had come to this point, it was useless to try and stop him. Julius might as well take the opportuni
The voice belonged to Julius. Ruth and the others were behind him. Frederick did not come this time. Perhaps it was because the shock and disappointment of the previous events were too great.The room instantly fell silent.Everyone stopped complaining.Denver’s eyes lit up when he saw Julius. His heart was filled with anticipation.Was Julius concerned about him?That meant that he had made the right bet! Everyone had seen Ruth shoot out the silver needle! Was Julius worried about him? Was he completely disappointed in Ruth?“Ruth used such a dirty trick on her fellow apprentice right in front of everyone! She’s horrible! She attacked me today, but who’s to say that she won’t attack someone else tomorrow? Mr. Julius, I know you’ve always been fair and just. I just want to let the new students know that the Rivas family is an upstanding family that always fights for justice!”Denver’s words were calculated. He had purposely put Julius in a position of authority, meaning that Jul
#Denver started to panic but soon thought of something and quickly calmed down.“I’m honored that you’re paying attention to me. But now, we’re discussing how to deal with Ruth. It’s meaningless for you to avoid talking about her.” He put on an act of pitiful helplessness and rubbed his index finger subconsciously.It was as if he was making sure that there was nothing.At this moment, Hamish, who had been quiet all this while, also spoke up for Denver in a low voice.He was a little nervous, but he said righteously, “Mr. Julius, you still want to side with Ms. Ruth and insist on picking on Mr. Denver!”Denver pretended to reprimand Hamish. “Don’t be rude! Mr. Julius has his own reasons for doing this! Ms. Ruth’s treatment is different from ours!”The two of them echoed each other, making the students surrounding them feel even more indignant.They looked at Ruth and Julius with even more dissatisfaction.Clap! Clap!Ruth applauded slowly and looked at Denver with admiration.
Julius looked at him coldly. “This ring is a hidden weapon of the Rivas family. Where did you get it? Where is it now?”Denver shook his head in panic. “This is impossible! You must have done this. You’re trying to frame me! This is the Rivas family’s territory. Ruth is your favorite student! You’re all targeting me!”At this point, he could only start frantically shifting the blame.There were no surveillance cameras at that angle.The entire institute knew this.Thus, the sudden release of a surveillance video caught at this angle would definitely arouse everyone’s suspicions.Denver did have a good point. However, his reaction spoke otherwise.When the others saw his reaction, they kept their mouths shut.Julius could not be bothered to entertain his nonsense. “No one saw the ring after that. It can’t have disappeared into thin air. Someone here definitely has the ring!”Everyone looked at each other in confusion.However, Julius’s next words shocked them all!“There’s no
Hamish’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly looked away.“There’s a doctor here. He won’t die,” Ruth looked at Hamish steadily and said coldly. She continued, “But everyone here is a suspect now. I advise you not to get too close to each other. You never know when misfortune might hit you.”When the other new students who went up to check on Hamish heard this, they quietly moved away.The young man next to Hamish did not dare retort after being rebuked by Ruth. He subconsciously took his anger out on her. “Don’t sow discord between us!”Ruth wanted to say something, but she pursed her lips.It was Hamish’s turn to be searched, but they did not find anything.However, when they searched the young man, the sharp sound of the metal detector rang out.The investigator immediately turned his head to look at Adrian. Adrian personally went forward, and the onlookers also nervously stuck their heads over.The young man lowered his head in a panic.He saw a black, uniquely designed r
Hamish and his friend stopped arguing and looked over.Denver lowered his head, hiding his expression.He was silent for a long time. He seemed to have accepted things. “I admit that I was the one who attacked first. However, I was forced to do so.”Julius frowned and looked at him. “Who forced you?”“Ruth is your favorite apprentice. We can’t compare to her, and we don’t dare to do so. She can do whatever she likes here. With you and Mr. Frederick backing her up, we simply accepted this.”He paused for a moment. “But I was the one who picked this batch of new students! Every student was carefully nurtured by me and my fellow apprentices. Ruth just suddenly came back and snatched away the fruits of our labor. Mr. Julius, not only did you not stop her, you even indulged her. What can you say about that?”At this point, he suddenly raised his head and looked questioningly at Julius and Ruth.Everyone knew that Julius doted on Ruth.They had accepted this.However, no one could a
Abel sneered and continued, “You’re selfish, and you’re shirking your responsibility. You framed your fellow students to save yourself, but you brushed it off with a perfunctory sentence. You weren’t forced to retaliate. You were doing this with vicious intentions. If we hadn’t uncovered the truth, did you think about what would have happened to Ruth? If you put yourself in her shoes, do you think you’ll be acting like this?“As he spoke, Abel’s cold gaze swept across the few people who had spoken up for Denver earlier.They looked embarrassed and lowered their heads guiltily.Abel turned to look at Julius. ”You might have been biased toward Ruth in the past, but you always tried to side with Denver in today’s matter. Now that the truth is out, why are you still hesitating?“He stared coldly at Julius.His words were slightly threatening.His message was clear. If Julius did not deal with this appropriately, Abel would not let the matter rest.Julius was stunned for a few second
