Chapter 2088 Secret
With that, Francesca went upstairs, leaving Robin and the other subordinates rooted to the spot. If they were already nervous before, hearing what Francesca said only served to compound their unease.
She herself stated that they had all been poisoned, but her reaction puzzled them to no end. It was as though they merely caught something as trivial as fever or a cold.
“I know Francesca. She’s got a good heart, so she won’t let anything happen to you all,” William said reassuringly.
“Right. Of course.” Robin nodded profusely in agreement. “Don’t worry. Ms. Felch isn’t going to ignore us since she’s already aware that we’ve been poisoned.” “Understood…” The subordinates were finally able to relax.
“For the time being, don’t let the rest of them know about the poisoning, lest everyone panics,” Robin instructed. “Keep a close eye on the water source and the storage room tonight, and watch out for any suspicious characters.”
“Understood.” Once he had made the necessary arrangements, Robin wheeled William back to the room.
After he closed the door behind him, Robin opened a bottle of mineral water and passed it along to William. Then, he asked in relative unease, “I didn’t expect Ms. Felch to be this sharp. Do you think she would be able to expose our secret?”
“What secret? What is there to expose?”
William glared at Robin coldly in a manner that was a stark contrast with his usually gentle demeanor.
“Uh…” Robin hesitated, then hastily bowed his head. “I understand.”
“Someone did try to poison us, and there is genuinely a problem with the water supply. We didn’t try to deceive Francesca in this regard,” cautioned William sternly. “It’s just that this problem was known to me much earlier.”
