Janine, who had been tinkering with the flowerpot, suddenly stopped and turned around to observe Zuko through her glasses.
The once pampered and adored chubby little boy had grown into a resolute, handsome young man. His sculpted face held a hint of defiance, and his gaze showed forbearance similar to Zephyr's.
Janine smiled, feeling proud of her grandson, who had a quarter of the Baker's blood in him.
"Come here," Janine waved her hand and sat on the sofa with Zuko. "Tell me what you suspect about Desiree."
Zuko was surprised. He had not mentioned Desiree since Janine arrived. Besides, Janine had brought more people than just Desiree. There were also other members of the Bakers. How did she know?
"Surprised?" Janine smiled. "Remember, I'm your grandmother. No matter when, don't think you can hide anything from this old lady!"
"Oh…"
"Still hesitating?"
Zuko sat up straight and smiled. "Grandma, I suspect that everything that's happened recently is related to Desiree."
Janine raised an eyebrow. "Do you have any evidence?"
Zuko was at a loss for words. He did not have evidence but had to voice his doubts.
"Before you brought Desiree to Centrolis, everything here was peaceful. But since she came, the opening ceremony of the Thompson Group's film studio was maliciously affected, causing a bad impact in the entertainment circle.
"Later, the police caught the person who spiked the drinks, and the forensic test of the drinks showed that people from the Grist Group were involved.
"Right at that critical moment, Violet unexpectedly died!"
Zuko furrowed his eyebrows. "Grandma, why did Violet come to Centrolis right before the opening of the Thompson Group's film studio? And why did she die when the truth was about to come to light? I'm afraid someone didn't want her to speak!"
"So, you think this person is Desiree?" Janine asked.
