Jaxon reported to William about what happened to the child. “Sir, Aurora and Ornard’s son is poisoned, and he’s in the ICU now. Seems like the situation is not going well. I’m sure it is Veronica who did it! She’s a cruel and evil woman, and she even used poison!”
“Veronica went out to buy poison?” William asked.
“No. I don’t know how she did it. I have men keeping an eye on her and she did not buy poison. She bought vitamin gummies instead.”
“Vitamin gummies? Then did she do something with the gummies? Was the poison her own belonging? Why did she have things like that, though?”
William was shocked. He thought that Veronica would take some time to make a move, but he didn’t expect that this woman was completely different from what he had expected. She was vicious enough, and she even had poison in her hands. She was indeed a dangerous woman.
An idea flashed across William’s mind. “Did the doctor say that he was poisoned?”
“They haven’t identified the poison, but I heard that it was not a common poison. It’s very rare.”
“Alright. We need to confirm one thing now.” William ordered Jaxon and said, “First, arrange for an expert to be on standby, and wait at the door of Ornard’s house!”
William hung up Jaxon’s phone and turned his head to Silas. “Send a message to Veronica!”
Silas took out a spare phone and sent a message to her according to William’s instructions. “You were the one who made a move, right? You bought gummies and poisoned it, right? If I tell Ornard everything, you’re doomed, huh?”
Veronica was shocked to see this message on the way home. How did this person know what she did? She did not dare to ignore it because since this person knew what she had done, he must have a purpose. It wouldn’t be smart to offend this person. Veronica replied, “Who are you?”
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that you will soon be exposed. Ornard will know that you killed his son, and you will die miserably!”
“That’s impossible. I won’t be exposed! What I did was flawless. It’s impossible for him to know too!”
“You won’t be exposed for the time being, but you missed something very important.”
Veronica was frightened by this information. She thought that she had done it very secretly. However, this person knew what she had done, which proved that there must be a loophole.
Ornard was not a fool. If he found any flaws, she would definitely be doomed.
Veronica immediately asked, “Can you tell me then?”
“The poison was carried out in Ornard’s villa. Ornard’s villa must have been monitored. Do you think your every move will escape from his eyes?”
Veronica’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that. How could she forget that here were so many surveillance cameras in Ornard’s villa? Her entering and leaving baby’s room must have been captured! If Ornard retrieved the surveillance cameras, her actions would be exposed. By that time, Ornard would not let her off the hook!
Veronica was shocked and scared. She couldn’t lose herself for revenge. Veronica had an intuition that the person who sent the message could help her, so she immediately begged, “What should I do then? Can you help me?”
“Why should I help you?”
“I… I know a lot of Ornard’s secrets. If you can help me, I can tell you.”
“I’m not interested in Ornard’s secret, but if you can tell me the source of the poison, I can give you a helping hand!”
Veronica didn’t expect that the other party’s purpose was to know about this. She didn’t intend to reveal the poison, but she couldn’t bargain in this situation. In order to get through this safely, she had to tell the other party.
“I can tell you the source of the poison, but you must help me.”
“As long as you don’t lie, I promise.”
“I secretly got the poison from Ornard more than 20 years ago.”
“Ornard? He gave it to you?” William raised a brow when he saw Veronica’s answer. The poison that Ornard used to kill someone back then? And now, the poison came back onto his son!
“No, I stole this poison. Ornard said that this is very powerful. It’s colorless and tasteless and can kill quickly, so I kept a little. I’ve been hiding it under the cabinet in Ornard’s room for more than 20 years!”
“Back then, Ornard and you must have used this poison to harm many people, huh?”
“It’s all him. I didn’t use it to hurt people. What he did has nothing to do with me at all.” Veronica denied.
William didn’t believe Veronica’s words at all. “Answer me! Who did Ornard harm with this poison? If you want to live, tell me!”
“I don’t know much. I only know that it was Ornard’s poison that killed Callum’s sister.”
Upon seeing the message sent by Veronica, Silas’ face suddenly changed. “Sir…”
William’s gaze swept across the text, and his eyes were filled with fierceness. He said word by word, “All right, go back immediately. Someone is waiting for you outside the villa. He will help you erase the monitoring traces.”
Silas followed William’s orders and sent the message to Veronica. He looked at William worriedly and asked, “Sir, are you all right?”
There was no sign of joy or anger on William’s face. “I’m fine. I knew it was Ornard who did it and I’m mentally prepared. Don’t worry!”
Silas couldn’t help worrying that William would never speak his mind out and would bear all the hardships alone. After he confirmed that Ornard was the one who killed his mother, he must feel very chaotic now.
“Sir, if you are unhappy, you can vent it out. It will be more comfortable.”
“I’m really fine!”
“This shameless couple… I’m going to tear them into pieces! Sir, how about this, I’ll go back and kill Ornard as a revenge!”
“No, it’s not the right time!” William shook his head.
Since William had guessed that it was Ornard’s doing, and now the evidence had been conclusive, why wasn’t he taking any action?
Silas couldn’t figure it out and asked, “Sir, since we’ve confirmed that it’s Ornard and Veronica’s doing, why don’t we take action? Are you worried about something?”
“Nah! Ornard spent more than 20 years scheming all this. I don’t care about waiting for a few more days. After all, the show has just begun!” A cold smile appeared on William’s face. “A blunt knife can really hurt someone too, right?”
