Slumdog billionaire husband novel (Gerald Kenneth) novel Chapter 602

Chapter 602 Interrogation

Gerald parted the crowd and walked to the front.

When everyone saw Gerald coming over, they all quieted down.

When Jacob saw Gerald coming over, he heaved a sigh of relief and said, “You are finally here. I don’t know what to do now.”

Gerald looked at the crowd. Then, he turned to look at Erik and said, “I need an explanation!”

Erik was stunned. Then, he shook his head and said, “I don’t know what happened either. I ate with Scar at noon. I didn’t expect him to be poisoned. If there were poisons in that food, I should be poisoned too!”

Gerald asked lightly, “There are two things suspicious. First, why did you want to stay in the Night Watch Base instead of acting with my team? Second, you and Scar have never met each other before. Why did you suddenly eat with him?”

Erik had also thought about these questions. So he replied lightly, “I just want to stay here. I have no other thoughts. As for eating with him, I have heard a lot about him, so I want to know him.”

“It sounds far–fetched. It’s not enough for me to believe that you are innocent.” Gerald shook his head.

Erik was slightly stunned. Then, he spread his hands and said, “If you don’t believe me, I don’t know what else I can do. But this is the truth.”

“It’s fine,” Gerald said indifferently. “Erik, I will give you one last chance. If you really didn’t do it, I will apologize to you in front of everyone! Dr. Manning is the best doctor in the world. She can find out what kind of poison Scar has gotten. Then, we will need to do two things. First, we will search your body and see if you have any antidotes on you. Don’t doubt the current technology. Second, Dr. Manning needs to hypnotize you! You said you ate with Scar. But no one knows whether you really ate with him or not.”

After saying that, Gerald turned to look at Erik and said, “You think you are innocent. Then there is no problem with these two checks, right?”

“I am a member of your team, and you don’t trust me.” Erik frowned.

“It’s different!” Gerald said lightly. “My trust in you is based on Carolyn. Because you are her disciple, I trust you. But now that something has happened, someone has to be accountable. If you really didn’t do it, I will personally apologize to you in front of everyone.”

After saying so, Gerald’s eyes suddenly turned cold. He added, “Of course, if you did… you will have to bear the consequences.”

“I refuse to be examined,” Erik said indifferently. “Like you, my trust in you is also based on my master. Who knows whether I will tell the truth after you hypnotize me?”

“I will record the whole process!” Gerald said.

“The video can also be edited,” Erik said.

“Are you feeling guilty?” Gerald said again.

“It’s not guilt but disappointment!” Erik shook his head. “I thought that after I joined your team, I would have your team members‘ trust. However, I was wrong.”

Beside Erik, Jacob frowned deeply. Jacob looked at Erik and said, “Erik, actually, I have always had a question. Ever since you came back this time, I feel that something is wrong with you. Did someone… threaten you? If yes, you can say it. We are all buddies. Don’t hide it.”

At this time, Valery came over. Valery said with a serious expression, “His life is not in danger for the time being. The poison he ate contains a highly toxic substance. Fortunately, he did not absorb it much. I washed his stomach. Besides, his body is very strong and healthy, so he survived. But he will be very weak for some time. If he ate more, he would die in a few hours.”

Hearing this, Gerald felt slightly relieved. Then, he said to Valery, “Sorry. But I need you to hypnotize Erik and ask him what happened exactly!”
