Though Faulkner Group had changed hands, many Faulkners continued to serve in upper management. News about the Faulkner family's fiasco had yet to make the rounds in Xedells.
Most people continued to fear the Faulkner family, so no one would have dared to harm Jane.
Genevieve looked at Charlotte and said carefully, “Jane has a heart condition. Someone stole her medication.”
Charlotte momentarily froze in shock, though she quickly understood Genevieve's meaning. She commented, “But Javier was knocked out cold. Even if he wakes up tomorrow, I doubt he'll remember anything he did after drinking himself into oblivion.”
“We don't need to wait until tomorrow.” Genevieve narrowed her eyes shrewdly and smiled, adding, “Ms. Benson, could I trouble you to invite all the servers and guests to the ballroom? Exclude the staff who were in the captain's cabin.”
About ten minutes later, almost every server aboard the cruise ship arrived at the ballroom, joining the socialites in attendance at the party.
The ballroom was crowded.
Someone asked Charlotte curiously, “What's going on, Lottie?”
Genevieve stepped forward instead and announced, “Someone stole my friend's medication from her purse.” Her piercing gaze swept across everyone present in the ballroom.
The crowd began gossiping about Genevieve's revelation. “Who the heck stole your friend's medication? What kind of a sick prank is that?”
“Right? It's not as though it's a longevity pill or something.”
Genevieve scoffed in response before explaining, “My friend is unwell, and the thief knew exactly that! But don't worry, everyone. I know how to unmask the thief. I'll just take up a minute of everyone's time to perform a quick check.”
“Please cooperate with Genevieve's investigation,” Charlotte declared. Then, she asked Genevieve, “Would you like to investigate us first or the service staff?”
Genevieve glanced at a corner of the room before replying, “Let's check the service staff.”
She knew the culprit was smart enough to bribe someone else for such a risky task.
