+25 BONUS Chapter 46 Chapter 46 In the conference room, Lauren asked everyone else to leave, leaving only Andrew and Francesca behind.
Lauren, did you know from the start that Paul was the culprit? Francesca asked eagerly as soon as the room emptied.
Lauren rolled her eyes and said, If I had known it was him, I wouldve just had him arrested instead of setting up these theatrics.
Francesca exclaimed in surprise, So you didnt know who it was? But you acted like you did! Lauren smiled and explained, I didnt know, which was why Dr.
Lloyd suggested this trick to force their hand.
All I had to do was claim one glass was poisoned, and Paul cracked under the pressure.
Francesca stared at Andrew, shocked.
I didnt expect you to be so cunning! She was impressed by his ability to devise such a trick, which left the culprit with no choice but to surrender.
Although we found out it was Paul, we still fell one step short, Andrew remarked.
Laurens beautiful face hardened as she agreed, Indeed.
That bastard Michael had already poisoned Paul beforehand.
Even though I know hes behind this, I cant prove it! I dont understand how Paul willingly took poison.
Thats literally suicide! Francesca wondered aloud.
Andrew shook his head and explained, Paul didnt take it willingly.
If he had been, he wouldnt have tried to expose Michael before he died.
Michael must have secretly poisoned him earlier as insurance.
Francesca shuddered and said, I never imagined Michael could be so ruthless.
Lauren smiled, looking at the bright side.
Either way, we forced him to show his true colors.
Dr.
Lloyd, youre truly my lucky star.
You saved me time and time again! Ms.
Rhodes, you should be very careful of your cousin.
If Im not mistaken, he likely has powerful backing, Andrew warned her! Lauren was startled and asked, Dr.
Lloyd, what have you noticed? The poison that killed Paul is called Deaths Draught, and its rare and lethal.
A mere playboy like Michael wouldnt have access to something like that, so someone must be helping him, Andrew explained.
Francesca chimed in, Hes right.
Grandpa once mentioned that poison is a weapon of the underworld, not something an average person would come by.

Meanwhile, in Micheals office.
Michael was violently smashing everything in sight, his face contorted with rage.
He was consumed by anger, roaring, That bastard ruined everything with one move! I lost it all! Pauls death did not bother him.
He had planned to sacrifice that pawn anyway when Lauren started suspecting the executives.
What infuriated him was how close he had come to being exposed.
If he had not taken the risk of attacking Paul, he would probably be facing prison time right now.
Lauren might be smart, but with my backers strategy, Im not worried about her, Michael muttered after his outburst.
But now her pretty boy advisor is becoming a real problem! +25 BONUS Chapter 47
