Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 2246

Chapter 2246 Assist In The Investigation

Hazel might hate Francesca, but she was terrified by how the situation had escalated. She couldn’t even utter a word. Harrier stood behind the crowd and watched silently.

The team stood dozens of meters away as they dared not come any closer. Each of them pointed a gun at the beasts warily, not daring to let their guards down. Despite that, they were still extremely uneasy, afraid that the beasts would rush over to rip them into shreds.

In the end, someone from the military spoke. “Ms. Felch, you are under suspicion of being involved in a murder case. Please come with us to assist in the investigation.”

“Be clear. What murder case do you suspect I’m involved in?” Francesca demanded haughtily. “Gerard Atkinson died from poison after seeing you. According to our investigation, you used a venomous snake to attack him, so—”

“Please mind your words,” Francesca interjected icily. “The venomous snake had indeed flown from my hands to his neck, but I summoned it back before it could bite him. Gerard’s death has nothing to do with me.”

“How can we know if you’re telling the truth?” Hazel roared angrily. “My father kept holding his neck back then. He also said his neck felt cold and numb. It must be your venomous snake that bit him! Nothing happened on our way back, and the poison acted up when we got home, killing him in the process. Who else could it be? It must be you!”

“Even though we’ve met up, that doesn’t mean I killed him. If you die later, is it my fault, too?” Francesca retorted.

“Hey!” Hazel’s face paled in fury.

Right then, William gave Monica a silent gesture. The woman immediately shoved Sloan, hinting at him to speak up.

Regaining his senses, Sloan promptly explained, “Ms. Atkinson, I think you’ve gotten it wrong. The green snake belongs to Mr. Lindberg. It has been bathed in poison since its birth, so its venom is extremely fatal. If it had bitten Mr. Atkinson, he would’ve died on the spot. There was no way he’d die at home.”

“Hear that?” Hazel grew increasingly emotional. “Francesca knew that snake was venomous but allowed it to bite my father! She wanted to kill my father!”

“No, I mean—”

“Francesca, I must avenge my father! How could you do that to him?”
