Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 1264

Zuko smiled lightly. This was exactly what he wanted to say.

"That's right, it was Fred who found it," he said softly. "He has some expertise in this area, so investigating the formula was a piece of cake."

"But..." Lina blinked. "I thought someone would secretly dispose of the drinks to destroy the evidence after the event that night. I never expected you could find a sample!"

"It wasn't my brother who found it!" Toph grinned. "Guess who helped us this time, Pammy?"

Lina's heart skipped a beat.

'Could it be her again? Lena?' she wondered.

"Someone did want to destroy the evidence." Zuko smiled faintly. "But that's a massive task. Just as that person was trying to get rid of the remaining problematic drinks, Lena caught him."

Toph continued. "It's quite a coincidence. That person was trying to dispose of the evidence in the alley behind the bar where Lena works!"

The subsequent events did not need to be explained further.

Lena was already quite skilled at dealing with men, so catching the person and getting the remaining problematic drinks was a breeze for her.

Fred's testing was also easy for him, and everything fell into place.

Lina heaved a sigh of relief.

This was a collaborative effort!

"Fred said that only people from his family, the Grists, could have this formula." Zuko's expression darkened slightly. "The formula came about because the Grist Group was trying to cut costs. After taking over the company, Fred's first action was to recall and destroy all problematic drinks and this formula."

"So, this is undoubtedly the work of the Grists!" Lina bit her lip and snickered.

The answer was already evident—Violet was the only Grist with whom she was acquainted.

"Violet never liked me back in university. I reported her family's drinks, and then she accidentally used the face cream that Gia got me in Southeast Asia, which caused her disfigurement. I can't imagine anyone else who would resort to such despicable means to harm me!"

"But..." Lina frowned. "The incident happened at the Thompson Group's film studio opening ceremony, and the targets were all major celebrities. There were so many people present that day. I doubt Violet would be capable of poisoning anyone, even if she wanted to."

Zuko rubbed Lina's head and smiled tenderly. Lina was intelligent, quick-witted, and had exceptional analytical skills!

"So, there must be someone else behind this," Zuko said in a low voice.

"Could it be the Thompson Group's rivals?" Toph widened his eyes. "Or... did Uncle Nicholas offend someone in the underworld?"
