Chapter 532
Royden Group acted immediately to prevent the incident from being leaked to outsiders.
Apart from informing the police, everyone in the company was forbidden to tell anyone else about the incident.
However, the media still found out about it.
Then, a few people even went to Xena's hospital room to harass her.
After spending a night in the ICU, she returned to the ward only to be scolded by the other patients.
Even the nurses were unkind to her and looked at her with disdain.
They were also careless when checking her condition.
Xena was dumbfounded.
"I'm the victim here.Why is everyone treating me this way?"
Xena had no choice but to vent her anger at George.
"Also, why was my snack the same as Jean's?"
George appeared unbothered as he stood at the side.
"Hey! Say something!"
George looked at her indifferently.He was expressionless like a robot as he said, "You're too noisy.How am I to speak? Also, what do you want me to say?"
"Tell me, why did you cause me to be admitted into ICU and remain ill even now?"
Xena glared at him furiously.
She was sure that Edbert had arranged for someone to tamper with the snacks, but she could not understand why she had to be dragged in.
George looked at her and said flatly, "I've told you before.Once you hop on board, you can't do things as you wish.It's your greed that led you to this.Who are you to blame others?"
She is only a pawn.
Does she really think she can live like a princess? Xena gripped the blanket tightly and clenched her teeth furiously.
"Is this all you have to say?"
"At most, I can transfer another five hundred thousand into your card."
George looked at her and continued solemnly, "Plainclothes police officers will be here in the afternoon to record your statement.What you need to say is all written on this paper: He put down the paper and left straight away.Xena sat quietly on her bed and looked at that paper for a long time.
Does this mean even the police follow their orders? Everything happened as George told her, and two plainclothes police officers showed up in the afternoon.
"Xena Sparks, we are here to record your statement.What were you doing between 3 p.m.to 4 p.m.on the twelfth? Who was with you at that time?"
Xena hesitated briefly.She looked at the police officers for a long time before perfectly reciting what George had wanted her to say.
"I can't remember much.I should be in the company."
Xena looked down slightly.Her smile seemed a little unnatural.
"I think the company's surveillance system would have recorded me at that time.I should be in the office then"
Coincidentally, Rachel was nearby at that time.
Xena even argued with her.
George must have wanted the police officers to find this.
Then, the police officers asked her a few more minor questions.
Xena was able to provide ‘perfect’ answers to each of them.
Once the police officers left, she pushed aside the nurse assigned to watch her and left her room.
She remembered Gigi was staying in CRK Ward and ran there immediately.
Twenty minutes later, Xena knocked on Gigi's door.
"Who are you?"
Sheena looked at her warily.
They rarely had any visitors at this hour.
Gigi sat in a rocking chair, reading a book.She seemed at peace.
When she heard noises at the door, she looked up slowly and briefly glanced at Xena’s face before looking away.
Sheena saw that Xena was about to rush to Gigi, so she tried to chase Xena away.
"Edbert sent me here to talk to you.He has a message for you, and I need to speak to you alone."
Xena gritted her teeth before continuing, "He will stoop to no lengths.I believe you know how cruel he is."
