Chapter 43 Chapter 43 +26 BONUS Andrew noticed Michaels obvious relief, and their eyes met silently across the room


    Andrew shed Michael with a knowing smile, while Michaels gaze was mocking


    To him, even if Andrew had figured out some of his secrets, he was convinced Andrew did not know the identity of the actual poisoner.


    As long as that person remal unknown, Michael believed he was safe


    Lauren might suspect him, but suspicion without evidence was meaningless.


    I imagine everyone must be thirsty, Lauren suddenly announced.


    Theres water in front of each of you to quench your thirst.


    Michael frowned and said, Lauren, catching the culprit is more important.


    Being thirsty isnt a priority right now.


    Paul chimed in, Mr.


    Rhodes is right.


    Even if we die of thirst, we wont leave until we find the person who tried to harm you, Ms. Rhodes


    Lauren smiled gracefully and dered, Ill be honest with everyone one of these sses bas been poisoned by me.


    Everyone must drink their water now.


    Those with clear consciences will be fine, but as for the culprit... well, good luck.


    All the executives were immediately rmed.


    Ms.


    Rhodes, which ss did you poison? This isnt right, Ms.


    Rhodes


    What if you hurt the wrong person? All these sses look identical.


    How can we tell which one is poisoned? This seems reckless! They were all sweating, staring at the sses of water with fear.


    Ive already said that only one ss is poisoned


    Lauren stated calmly.


    The water in front of innocent people is perfectly safe.


    Then, she picked up her ss and drank it all.


    However, Michaels face showed uncertainty as he shot Andrew a fierce re, convinced that such a devious n must havee from this pretty boy he despised.


    Andrew returned his re with a bright smile and warned the executives, Everyone should be careful before drinking


    The poison used is arsenic its lethal and acts fast.


    Once it takes effect, not even the fastest ambnce in the city can save you! This terrified the executives even more, with several of them trembling visibly Michael finally lost hisposure and shouted angrily, Lauren, and you, pretty boy arent you afraid of karma for being so vicious? Lauren fixed a cold stare on Michael and retorted If youre not the culprit, then your water isnt poisoned. Why are you so nervous ? Unless you have something to hide ? 12  Chapter 43 Michael faltered, his eyes darting around nervously.


    At that mome ss and drank it all


    Eunice picked up her The other executives followed suit, one by one, showing their loyalty to Lauren. After all, only the culprits ss was poisoned, so this was their chance to prove their innocence.


    Gulp after gulp, the sses were emptied quickly Only Michael and Paul remained.


    Pauls face turned pale as he looked at Lauren and said, Ms.


    Rhodes, arsenic isnt something to joke about.


    Are you sure... Lauren cut him off with a wave of her hand.


    Mr.


    rke, drink the water first.


    If youre not the culprit, I guarantee youll be safe and sound.
