Chapter 16: Where is the Problem?
The answer was beyond my expectations; it was too unbelievable. How could there be no issue? If the medicine was used to regulate the body, how could it make me like this? I kept shaking my head at Scarlette on the screen, “This is impossible, absolutely impossible. My cat had the same reaction after taking the medicine, and I observed the entire process with my own eyes. How could there be no problem? Scarlette…”
Scarlette urgently asked, “Quick, tell me, where do you think the problem lies? I’m anxious!”
“Are you sure the person you arranged has no issues?” I cautiously inquired, considering that the medicine had left my sight, and the only person who had contact with it was the worker.
“Absolutely no problem! He’s Blake Armstrong’s cousin!” Scarlette confidently replied.
“Blake Armstrong?” My heart skipped a beat.
“Yes!” Scarlette explained, “Daisy, you know, for matters like this, we must find a reliable person, so… he’s absolutely fine!”
“That’s strange!” I muttered weakly, not pressing further.
My head buzzed, and my scalp tingled. Had they discovered something? Otherwise, how could the medicine have no problem? Robert’s sinister smile flashed before my eyes, making me shudder.
“Scarlette, please check Robert’s whereabouts in the last two days thoroughly. Also, find someone skilled in computers as soon as possible. I want to access Robert’s computer; he changed the password, and I can’t get in!”
“Okay, no problem. I’ll figure it out. Be cautious!” Scarlette reminded me before ending the call.
After closing the video, I meticulously reviewed every step in my mind. I had been careful and cautious; there shouldn’t be any traces, right? Could it be that showing Sherry the stabbed scalp scared her off?
No, I couldn’t let things spiral out of control. I needed to take the initiative.
I took out my phone and switched to the real-time monitoring screen. The night was deep, with only the night lights in the corridor on, creating a dim and tranquil atmosphere; it seemed like everyone was asleep.
I scrolled through the monitoring records and saw that a while ago, Robert had carried Charles into the children’s room. After leaving Charles’s room, he went directly to Sherry’s room. Even though I had mentally prepared myself, knowing that Robert was having an affair, seeing this scene made me involuntarily clench my fists, my hands trembling with anger.
Suppressing my emotions, I checked the subsequent records but didn’t see him coming out of that room.
Robert, after ten years of marriage, how could you be so shameless? Getting involved with the nanny was bad enough, but to harm me as well – it was intolerable. How could I forgive you?Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
I abruptly uncovered the blanket on me, barefoot, and walked out of the room, stealthily making my way to the study. I was certain that there must be something I needed in the study.
I paused at the study door, the surroundings silent. I pushed open the study door and entered, the room was pitch-black. I quickly stepped inside, and the faint light from the corridor outside was shut out, making the interior even darker.
Just as I was about to go inside, the lights in the study suddenly turned on, illuminating the room as bright as daylight. I instinctively shielded my eyes. When I lowered my arm, I saw Robert sitting steadily on the sofa, gazing at me with an obscure and unsettling look. I stood there, frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.
He… Wasn’t he in Sherry’s room just now?
