Sylvie started crying. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Jordan. After I became younger, I forgot who I was. I now know I was in the wrong.”
Jordan pushed Sylvie away. “Why are you apologizing to me?! You make it sound like you betrayed me!”
He was speechless. It reminded him of the scene when Hailey cheated on him with Tyler.
Sylvie said, “Jordan, no matter what, I’m your mother-in-law and the grandmother of your son. You can’t just stand by and watch me go to jail. No matter what foolish mistakes I make, I won’t kill anyone!”
Jordan sighed and said, “Tell me how that person died.”
Sylvie told Jordan everything about her date with the man and everything that happened after they entered the cinema.
Jordan found it unbelievable. “You said that person suddenly died after kissing you? Does that person have some illness?”
Sylvie said, “I think so too! But the hospital said that he was poisoned. He wasn’t ill before that. He died from poison. How could I have poisoned him? Did I spit the poison into his mouth? Wouldn’t I be dead too?!”
Jordan frowned and thought about this matter carefully. It was indeed a little difficult to comprehend.
He looked at Sylvie and saw the lipstick on her lips. He asked, “Did you buy lipstick from a counterfeit brand? Some inferior-quality lipsticks are very harmful.”
Sylvie said, “Oh my god, why would I buy counterfeit lipsticks? You don’t trust my taste at all. Besides, the lipstick I’m wearing today isn’t mine. I’m using Hailey’s lipstick, and she always buys good stuff. It’s from the biggest makeup department store in Orlando. It can’t be fake!”
“You used Hailey’s lipstick?” Jordan asked curiously.
Sylvie replied, “That’s right. Haven’t I become younger? But my taste is still a little like that of a middle-aged woman. I felt that my lipstick looks too old-fashioned, so I went to use my daughter’s lipstick. Is there a problem?”
Jordan started to become serious. If this lipstick was just a counterfeit product that Sylvie bought, there wasn’t much of a problem. But if it came from Hailey, it was something worth pondering over!
“If it’s really about the lipstick, then Hailey’s lipstick can poison someone to death. As her husband, I’m the most likely target!”
Jordan immediately realized the danger he was in!
Just now, at Hailey’s house, Zara kept encouraging Jordan to have some alone time with Hailey. Fortunately, Jordan no longer had any feelings for Hailey. Otherwise, he would be the dead one now!
Jordan immediately became very serious!
“Sit tight. I’ll handle this personally!”
Jordan immediately sat down and sent a message to his subordinate. “Go to Hailey’s house immediately and check if there’s anything wrong with her lipsticks. The address is XXX. The door password is 696969.”
Jordan’s subordinates took immediate action and soon arrived at Hailey’s bedroom. They investigated as quickly as possible and reported to Jordan.
“Master, we have completed our investigation. All her lipsticks have lethal ingredients.”
Jordan was silent for a moment after receiving the news.
‘Indeed, the problem is Hailey’s lipstick. Does Hailey want to harm me?’
Although Jordan no longer loved Hailey, he knew her very well. This woman was doing everything she could to please him. It was impossible for her to harm him now.
Hailey no longer had any other options that were better than Jordan. There was no other man. In addition, they had a son together. She would definitely stand on Jordan’s side. Even if the six families wanted her to kill Jordan, she would not do it.
‘It can’t be Hailey. Who could it be?’
