Chapter 364: Reaping the Whirlwind
Trantor: 549690339 |
As a person with an unusual identity, Gavin Graves always made arrangements in advance to ensure safety whenever attending any event.
It was no different at this engagement banquet. Many of his bodyguards were disguised as ordinary guests in the hotel, keeping a close eye on any unusual happenings at the banquet.
When Be Foster tried to tamper with Purple Summers’ wine ss, it was soon discovered, and an unthrown bottle of medicine was even found in her purse.
Lester Williams gently ced the emptied tube-shaped vial in front of Gavin.
Gavin was furious about today’s events.
Regardless of whether or not he and Be Foster were lovers, or if they had any rtionship, with her as hispanion, it would be enough to cause him great shame when she had an illicit affair with the groom-to-be at someone else’s engagement banquet!
Fortunately, the young master of the Forrester Family knew what was important. Otherwise, if this had been exposed by others, it would have been a total humiliation! Gavin would be wearing a metaphorical green hat!
Not to mention that the groom-to-be was his cousin in name!
No man could endure such an insult!
However, now, as Lester Williams ced the medicine vial from Be Foster’s purse in front of him, Gavin understood.
—Be Foster was outsmarted by someone she was trying to outwit.
“Foolish.” Gavin frowned, his cold eyes still full of residual anger.
It’s not umon for major families to engage in intrigue and deception, but Gavin had a peculiar quirk: he would nevermit murder or engage in conspiracies at weddings or funerals.
Be Foster’s actions at the engagement banquet went against his principles.
“This medicine is very potent; only 10 milliliters are needed,” Lester said, ncing at the scale on the vial. “Ms. Foster was probably worried it wouldn’t take effect and used the whole 35 milliliters in the bottle. Now…she is likely to suffer.”
Gavin’s eyes grew even colder, like the chill of a knifede.
At the same time, he was puzzled, “Why did she want to harm Purple Summers?”
Though Young Master Graves was astute and could deal with various intrigues, he was unable to understand certain dark thoughts in women’s minds.
Lester, having a clear view as a bystander, answered with a smile: “It might be jealousy. You show some regard for Ms. Summers, and Ms. Foster admires you, so it’s quite normal for her to be unhappy. Last year, when you went to pick her up at school andplimented another female student’s hair, Ms. Foster cut the girl’s hair the next day.”
Gavin couldn’t remember such an incident andughed when he heard about it: “So, this time she met her match?”
There was a faint smile on Lester’s face, “Ms. Summers isn’t an ordinary person since she was able to clear the second young master’s name.”
Lester held great respect for Purple Summers. As people who lived by the edge of the knife, they walked in a world outside legal regtions. It was easy tomit murder, but how to save someone and preserve reputationwfully and legitimately was beyond their understanding.
The more they didn’t understand, the more they respected those who did.
Lester continued: “Ms. Foster deliberately knocked over Ms. Summers’ wine ss at the table and then volunteered to get a new one. She put the medication in the wine ss, covering the bottom with her hand, and poured in the wine. No one was supposed to notice. But then, Ms. Summers’ wine ss was identally knocked over by one of her ssmates, spilling wine on her clothes. When Ms. Foster went to the bathroom, Ms. Summers and her ssmate swapped the sses back.”
At the time, Zara Jameson’s movements were somewhat unnatural, but Be Foster ignored it, believing it to be childish retaliation, and didn’t pay attention. She didn’t even notice that her wine ss was the same one she had just given to Purple Summers.
As a result, Be Foster hoisted herself with her own petard and the carefully- prepared medicine she intended for Purple Summers ended up in her own stomach.
