Uncovering My Wife's Secrets (Annalise and Julian) novel Chapter 211

Julian sneered, “Ohh. What a coincidence! Julian thought, “I didn’t know Abigail is eloquent. “However, being eloquent is meaningless in front of the truth.” Abigail said, “There are many coincidences in life. For example, we were engaged, but in the end, you married Anna.” Julian ignored Abigail and called another group of subordinates. He asked, “How’s your investigation with the waitress?” “Today, we found all the waiters and waitresses who made tea. None of them know Abigail Barton. One waitress said that she had given a person a tray and some cups of tea because the customer asked for them. The customer that the waitress mentioned should be Abigail Barton.

“The waitresses said they definitely did not add anything other than tea leaves to the tea. All the tea was made in the pantry, which had more than a dozen cameras. The surveillance footage of the pantry will show whether they are innocent.” Julian said, “Investigate the waitress who gave the tray to Abigail! Focus on her!” Abigail felt nervous, and her heart beat faster. She forced herself to remain calm. Abigail said inside, “Luckily, I didn’t ask the waitress to run away. If she runs, it will only cause more suspicion.

“The waitress and I didn’t have any phone call records. I found the waitress a few days ago and gave her 5 thousand dollars in person. “As long as the waitress refuses to give in, Julian will never find any evidence.” Julian hung up the phone and glanced at Abigail. He called again and put it on speaker. Julian asked, “How is it? Have you found the rat poison at Bethany Langdon’s house?” Hearing this, Abigail’s eyes flickered again.

Julian raised his eyelids and stared at Abigail again. Julian’s gaze made Abigail feel even more nervous. She quickly looked away. The subordinate replied, “We’re searching. Bethany Langdon said she forgot which corner she put the rat poison in. Julian said, “No worries. Take your time. If you need more people, you can ask Horington’s police to assist you.” Abigail started to pinch the corner of her shirt uncomfortably.

Abigail blamed inside, “Mon is so stupid. The day before yesterday, I reminded her to mix some rat poison and leave it in every corner of the house. “If she can’t find it, she can only explain that the rats ate the poison. I hope mom can be smart and make up some lies to get over the questioning.” Just then, Julian’s phone rang. Julian pressed a button and put it on speaker again.

The subordinate reported, “We didn’t find any rat poison in Barton’s house. Bethany Langdon said that she mixed the arsenic in the food, and rats might have eaten them all.” Julian said, “Ask her how many piles she put in the corners. She should have put more than one pile of poisons to kill the rats.” “She said there might be five to eight piles. They’re all small piles. She can’t remember the detailed numbers.” “The poison was all eaten by rats?” “Yes, she said the rats must eat it all.”

The subordinate hung up the phone and went to question Bethany. Julian looked at Abigail, asking, “Does your mother also know how to make facial masks with barium?” “Yes, I taught her that.” Abigail felt that she was going to lose her calmness. She thought, “I only hope mom can be smart one more time.” Julian’s phone rang again. Abigail’s heart beat fast again. She was already traumatized. Abigail felt scared when she heard the phone ring.

The subordinate who investigated the waitress called back, reporting, “The waitress said that she was not a mistress of a rich man, but she insisted that the money was hers. “She told us that she had saved it up for many years. When she was in a vocational school, she offered sexual services to make money. She charged 30 dollars for one time. Sometimes, she could take several orders a day.

“She never dared to buy luxury goods because she was afraid that her parents would find out her money was illegitimate. Now that she was a waitress at the exhibition center and had a salary, she took out her money to buy a bracelet Hearing this subordinate’s report, Abigail was relieved again. Abigail thought, “Luckily, this waitress is quite smart. “Damn it. I’m almost scared to death! “Although I’m safe now, I’m still worrying. If mom or that waitress fails to cover lies with lies, I will be over.”

Footsteps came from the door. Tony, Layla, and Alexander had arrived. Tony asked unhappily, “Why does it take so long to collect fingerprints?” Then he continued, “You wasted so much time to find the murderer, and now you still don’t have any progress. With such abilities, I’m worried whether you can manage and keep the Parks Group when you take it over in the future.”

Julian retorted, “Even if I lose the Parks Group, grandpa will still be happy! Well, you know. Compared to business skills, grandpa values characters more.” “You!” Tony got angry every time he talked to Julian. Layla patted Tony’s chest and comforted him, “Alright, alright. He’s just a kid. Why are you angry at a kid?” “Julian, how’s the investigation going?” Alexander asked.
