Chapter 502
In front of everyone, Brendan said, "The dessert contains lethal poison. Fortunately, Madam Cordova hasn't eaten much and isn't deeply poisoned. If she had eaten a little, I'm afraid no medicine could save her."
Then, Brendan took out another oil package and said, "In addition, I also found poison in the dessert on the plates next to the flower stand and on the north side of the coffee table."
Caroline saw the package in Brendan's hand, and her expression suddenly changed. Caroline strode forward and raised her hand to slap Audrey.
Before Caroline's hand fell down, Bryson grabbed Caroline's wrist in time and stopped Caroline.
Being grabbed by the wrist, Caroline was annoyed.
"Bryson, let go of my hand."
"Mom, what do you want to do to Audrey?"
Caroline glared at Audrey. "What do I want to do to her? Why don't you ask her what she wanted to do to me? I was sitting on the north side of the coffee table just now, and there was poison in my dessert too. Fortunately, I didn't eat it. If I had eaten it, I would probably be dead by now. She wanted to poison me, but you still protect her."
Bryson frowned.
"We don't know the truth yet. Audrey wouldn't do that."
"The truth?" Caroline sneered, "The truth is that she wanted to poison me. I don't want you to be with her. Audrey must hate me. So, she tried to kill me. She wanted to kill Kylee too because she was afraid
that Kylee would kick her out after knowing her real identity. To be with you, Audrey planned to kill me and Kylee at the same time."
"The dessert next to the flower stand is Audrey's. Why would she poison herself?"
"She was trying to cover the truth. Audrey poisoned herself so that she wouldn't be suspected. Audrey is a cunning woman. Bryson, you can't let her deceive you!" Caroline looked at Audrey with hatred in his eyes.
Audrey looked at Caroline expressionlessly and said word by word, "I didn't poison you."
Jean defended Audrey, "It can't be Audrey. I also ate the dessert, and I'm fine."
"Yeah, I'm fine too. Besides, I ate two pieces of dessert," Simon agreed.
Madisyn and Dean also ate the dessert, and they were fine.
"How can we tell whether you are telling the truth or not? You bought the dessert, and you could poison anyone you want!" Caroline looked at Audrey angrily and said, "You are scheming and evil. You are not welcome here. Madisyn, call the police and let them arrest this vicious woman."
Madisyn also looked at Audrey in disbelief. He wasn't sure if Audrey did that.
Madisyn didn't think Audrey put the poison in the dessert. But the dessert was bought by Audrey, and Audrey didn't have it, which made her more suspicious.
Audrey also didn't understand why her, Caroline's, and Kylee's dessert was poisoned while the others' dessert was fine.
Audrey didn't eat the dessert because she needed to keep fit. Caroline didn't eat it and survived because the dessert was bought by Audrey. Kylee didn't like sweet food, ate a little, and got poisoned.
Audrey became the suspect because she bought the dessert.
Audrey wanted to explain, but she had no evidence.
Madisyn thought carefully for a moment and called the guards outside, "Guards, come in."
Two bodyguards came in from outside.
"Mr. Cordova."
Madisyn glanced at Audrey and turned around with pity.
"Take Ms. Audrey to the guest room upstairs. Without my permission, she can't leave the room."
"Yes!"
After hearing the order, the two bodyguards moved to Audrey.
Bryson stood in front of Audrey sullenly. "I won't let anyone lay a finger on Audrey!"
Seeing Bryson defending Audrey, the two bodyguards fearfully took two steps back, not daring to move forward again.
Caroline looked angrily at her son and said in an exasperated voice, "Your grandmother is still lying in a coma upstairs now. I, your mother, was also almost killed by her. How can you still protect her?"
Before Bryson spoke, Audrey tugged at Bryson's clothes, indicating for Bryson to move aside, and then walked towards the direction of the stairs.
"I'll go with you."
Bryson frowned and grabbed Audrey's hand.
"I disagree. Why should you be responsible for something you didn't do?" This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Audrey raised her chin and said with a smile, "I didn't do it. But since I am suspected, I'd like to prove my innocence."
Caroline sneered, "No criminal is willing to confess."
Audrey stopped talking. When she passed by Bryson, Audrey whispered, "Don't worry. I will be fine. You only need to find the criminal as soon as possible and prove my innocence. Then, I'll be released."
Bryson nodded.
Seeing Audrey being brought upstairs, Caroline was still angry. She looked at Madisyn discontentedly and said, "Madisyn, she almost killed Kylee. Instead of detaining her, we should call the police directly and send her to the police station. By then, she will confess everything."
"I still don't think that Audrey would poison us."
Caroline was furious. "I can't believe that you still believe in her!"
Caroline walked out in anger.
Bryson went to the butler expressionlessly.
The surveillance cameras on the top floor had been destroyed in advance, there was no way to check out the one who had put poison in the dessert. There was nothing wrong with the dessert when Audrey brought it into the Cordova Mansion. Everything was normal until the servant took the dessert to the top floor.
Therefore, someone must have done something to the dessert on the top floor.
Bryson asked the butler to call over all the servants who appeared on the top floor that night and strictly examined them.
However, no one was suspicious.
...
It was getting late, and Bryson was still asking people to continue investigating the poison case.
Then, a person quietly arrived outside the door of Audrey.
Audrey sat on the bed and heard someone talking outside the door. After the sound of two objects falling to the ground, her door was opened.
Audrey narrowed her eyes at the person outside the door.
She recognized that the man was one of Bryson's bodyguards, York Harris. York was usually together with Tyson.
York saw Audrey and hurriedly said, "Ms. Audrey, Mr. Cordova asked me to take you out of the Cordova Mansion. Please come with me."
