The Abandoned Wife (Lucian) novel Chapter 2048

Chapter 2048 Not That Simple

The housekeepers nodded in unison and replied, “Someone did come by yesterday evening. It was a middle-aged woman who was quite well-dressed. Mr. Jarvis was chatting normally with her at first, but they suddenly started arguing. We're not exactly sure if he had eaten anything.”

Roxanne did not even need to think to know that it was Winnie who had visited.

So much time had passed without anything happening. It was obvious that Winnie was the one creating trouble, given that something bad had happened to Grant right after he met her.

Thatb'tch! She's still thinking of harming Grant even when she's about to dielWell, Grant probably deserves it!

With her newfound understanding, Roxanne began administering acupuncture to Grant. A while later, the woman looked up and noticed that her father's face, which had turned crimson and was extremely swollen earlier, was gradually returning to normal.

The swelling had happened due to the coagulation and reverse flow of blood in Grant's body. If the situation had been slightly more severe, his blood would have completely solidified and turned black.

Roxanne had always been bold and meticulous. Seeing that the acupuncture had taken effect, she instructed the housekeepers to concoct the medicine at once.

However, Grant was still unconscious.

“Winnie had poisoned him! Lucian, call the police!” Roxanne exclaimed coldly while walking out of the room.

She had never expected Winnie to be that vicious. Even though Grant's good days were already coming to an end, the woman still could not wait to kill him.

Lucian nodded and proceeded to retrieve the surveillance recordings in the house.

From the videos, he saw that Winnie had entered the living room right after she arrived, and a moment later, a quarrel erupted between her and Grant.

Both of them appeared to be very agitated. However, as audio was not captured in the recordings, it was not clear what their argument was about.

Lucian summoned the housekeepers once again to inquire about the content of the quarrel between the two.

“We vaguely heard Mr. Jarvis calling the woman 'evil' and other words along those lines...” one of the housekeepers answered.

Another housekeeper pondered intently for a moment before adding, “They mentioned poisoning as well. Mr. Jarvis had asked the woman if it was her who did it.”
