Chapter 30
“Do you have a plan in mind, Mr. Rhys?” Natasha asked.
“I need to get a clear understanding of the situation first. I hope you don’t mind if I ask you some questions.” Dustin cleared his throat before continuing, “Where did you go today, and did you meet anyone there?”
“I met Edwin today. We talked about work, and he asked about us being in a
partnership, but I rejected his offer,” Natasha answered truthfully.
“I see. Did you drink anything he offered you?”
“Of course not. That man has been eyeing my family business for ages. I’d never let my guard down around him.”
“Then it really is strange how you got drugged, sis,” Ruth piped up.
“Truly.” Natasha rolled her eyes.
“When you two met, did you smell or touch anything in particular?” Dustin then asked.
“Now that you mention it…” Something suddenly dawned on Natasha. “When I stepped into the place, I did smell something particular. I didn’t pay much attention because I thought it was just perfume. But then, after a while, I started feeling dizzy. My body felt oddly warm too. Good thing I left soon after that. Who knows what could’ve happened if I had stayed longer?”
“It seems like that fragrance really is the problem,” Dustin concluded.
“What’s next, Mr. Rhys?”
“There was ambergris residue found on your skin earlier. It must’ve been the main ingredient in the fragrance that was used to drug you.” a
“So what? We still need to track down the person who made that drug,” Ruth huffed, crossing her arms in front of her chest.
“Ambergris is a rare substance, so our target pool is quite limited. We can look at recent buyers and narrow down our search from there,” Dustin replied.
“Good plan. I’ll have someone get to it right away!” Natasha agreed. With her family’s influence, this sort of thing could be settled in a jiffy.
“I trust my work here is done, Ms. Harmon. I’ll take my leave now.” Dustin made a move to stand up.
“One more thing!” Natasha suddenly stopped him.
“Why don’t you join us for dinner?”
“I hope you can make good use of these wines, Mr. Rhys. I’ve had them in store for quite some time.” Natasha beamed, handing him the box.
