Chapter 203 | Knocked Him Out

Nina squinted at the cat who was turning himself in. “Are you saying you’re the reason Mr. Winston passed out?”

The Abyssinian Cat’s head wobbled nervously. “Yeah. I’m sorry. After the girl from the pet shop brought me home yesterday, Kaysen was mesmerized by how good I smelled after my bath.

“He picked me up and just kept sniffing.”

The Abyssinian Cat pressed his front paws together, looking anxious. “After he was done sniffing, he started acting all strange. His hands were shaking, and he was breathing super hard, so I hurried over and started biting Roland’s pants.”

Nina squinted.

Animals were even more sensitive to changes in humans than people themselves. It seemed the moment Kaysen might have been poisoned was right after he sniffed the cat.

The Abyssinian Cat sounded scared and anxious. “I must have knocked Kaysen out. I don’t even know why this happened. I just took a bath, that’s all.”

Nina felt amused at the little cat’s confession.

It turned out the cat thought he was the culprit behind Kaysen’s passing out, so he got scared and went into hiding. She asked, “What’s your name, little one?”

The Abyssinian Cat, eyes all tearful, sounded just like a criminal making a confession as he spilled everything. “My name is Amber. I’m two years old, male, and my height is-”

He paused and said, “Ma’am, I’ve already confessed. Can you go easy on me? Please don’t kill me.”

Nina pulled out some homemade snacks from her bag and gave Amber a treat to cheer him up. “Stop blaming yourself. It’s likely a human was behind this. You’re being used.”

Amber’s head shot up, eyes wide as he stared at Nina. “Really? So, it wasn’t me who knocked Kaysen out.”

Tabby King rolled his eyes at Amber. “Come on, how could you possibly knock a human out cold and land him in the hospital? Even if you were the cutest cat in the whole world, you couldn’t do that.”

Amber was busy gobbling up the treats Nina was giving him, and when he heard that, he lifted his head proudly. “I am the cutest cat in the whole world. That’s what Kaysen says.”

Tabby King thought, ‘No way am I wasting words on this self-obsessed furball.’

Nina picked up on the crucial detail in Amber’s so-called “confession”.

She thought, ‘Mr. Winston started acting strangely right after he cuddled and sniffed the cat. Did someone mess with Amber?

‘Maybe they used some kind of poison people touch or breathe in, so Kaysen got poisoned while cuddling and sniffing Amber. Then why is Amber perfectly fine?’

After getting Amber’s permission, Nina put on medical gloves and began inspecting his fur.

While she checked him over, she asked, “Amber, did anything strange happen while you were having your bath at the pet shop? Did any strangers touch you?”

Amber thought for a moment. “No, it was the same nice lady as always who gave me a bath. She’s really good at it.” “And what about on the way back?” Nina asked.

Amber said, “I just sat quietly in the cage the whole way back, being a good boy. When we got home, Kaysen took me out of the cage right away.”

Nina found it baffling. By all accounts, after Amber’s bath, he’d been in contact with the pet shop staff and the servants at the manor.

However, those people were all perfectly fine.

As Nina touched Amber’s neck, she noticed it was completely bare. There was no collar at all, and she squinted in suspicion.

Chapter 203 | Knocked Him Out

Nina asked, a little confused, “Amber, does he usually dress you up with a collar or a fancy necklace?”

Amber nodded sweetly. “Yeah, Kaysen puts different gemstone collars on me. He even takes me to auctions so I can help. pick out new jewels.

“But he’s stuck in the hospital today, so there’s no one to put my fancy collar on me.”

Nina thought, ‘Right, the collar. When Mr. Winston was snuggling and sniffing Amber, his nose must have come into direct contact with the collar. Was the poison hidden on the collar?’

Nina asked urgently, “Amber, where’s the collar you had on when you came back from the pet shop yesterday?”

Amber said, “Lily took it off while she was brushing me last night. Guess she put it back in my jewelry box.”

Amber cocked his head, confused. “Funny thing is, Lily was wearing gloves when she took my collar off.”

Nina immediately became alert. “Wait, does Lily usually take your collar off without wearing gloves?”

Amber nodded quickly.

Nina thought, ‘This is it. I’ve finally found a clue. The collar is super suspicious. Maybe the poison is on the collar. It could be stuffed between the leather layers or maybe hidden in one of the gems.’

After getting a clear description of the collar Amber wore yesterday, Nina sent a message to Ramon.

Nina: [Mr. Warner, can you find out who Lily is, the one who looked after the cat last night? And have an officer Roland and see if that pink diamond cat collar is still in the jewelry box.]

go with

Nina: [If it’s there, put it straight into an evidence bag.]

Ramon had no clue why Nina suddenly wanted the cat’s collar, but he just went with it and followed her orders.

Soon, Ramon called back. “Ms. Summer, I got this. Lily’s full name is Lily Wolfe. She’s one of the maids at the manor. The pink diamond cat collar is still there. We’ve already put it in an evidence bag.”

Ramon was confused. “Are you suspecting Lily is the one who poisoned him?”
