Beyond the Divorce by Third Blossom novel Chapter 975

We both immediately exclaimed in unison, "Of course, we're listening!"

Grayson said, "Quick! Have Carol bring me another cup of coffee."

I promptly rang the bell, summoning Carol to pour three cups of coffee for us.

Carol quickly turned around to fetch the coffee for us.

She hesitated and looked at Grayson. She couldn't hold back and asked casually, "Have you had breakfast? Are you just drinking coffee?"

Grayson looked helpless. "When do I have time for breakfast? I need to report this. After the briefing, I'll grab a bite and sleep."

Carol walked out. I knew she must be preparing something for him.

Grayson took a big sip and continued, "Unexpectedly, life is full of twists and turns. One day, Keller's Dairy suddenly encountered trouble."

"What?" I exclaimed.

Lauren also seemed frozen, forgetting to sip her coffee. Grayson shrugged.

"Milk poisoning. It led to two deaths! It caused a sensation in Gerby then, and Helen's father was also arrested. Her mother, in a fit of anger, had a sudden stroke. What do you think Helen could do in such a situation?"

My heart sank. This wasn't good.

As expected, Grayson continued, "Byron took over Keller's Dairy at the critical moment and eventually emerged at the top."

I didn't want to hear anymore. I had a hunch that all of this was related to Beatrice's father.

Grayson, however, continued, "When Helen's mother had a stroke, Jocelyn helped take care of the old lady. Not long after, the old lady passed away."

Lauren put down her coffee cup and said what I wanted to say, "Grayson, you should re-investigate. This can’t all be just a coincidence. Is it milk poisoning that leads to the deaths? They've been in the business for so many years. How is that believable?"

"Congratulations, Lauren, I think the same way. That's why I've already arranged for someone to investigate!" Grayson looked at both of us.

"I'm amazing, right?" He mischievously asked.

Just then, Carol came in carrying a lunchbox.

Lauren and I exchanged glances, pretending we hadn't seen anything.
