Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 38

Chapter 38 Lauren gazed at Andrew with sparkling eyes .

Dr Lloyd , please tell us how you figured it out .

Andrew explained , Its quite simple .

You have a predictable routine between three locations .

Since the culprit couldnt act at photo shoots or your home , that only leaves the company .

Francesca chimed in , Thats obvious .

But how can you be so certain its a high ranking insider at Rhodes Corporation ? Andrew replied calmly , Think about it as CEO of the corporation , would regular employees have access to her ? To poison her food or drinks , theyd need access to her office or personal items .

Only executives have that kind of privilege , Dr.

Lloyd is absolutely right , Lauren exclaimed .

At Rhodes Corporation , only senior executives have that level of access to get near me .

Michael snickered .

Then how do you explain Ceces poisoning ? She didnt eat or drink anything she just visited briefly and got poisoned .

Your theory makes no sense ! Exactly .

You cant explain that part with your theory , Francesca commented .

Andrew remained unfazed .

Of course , it makes sense .

Its the same poison in both cases , showing the culprit tried twice .

Poison can spread in many ways , most directly through inhalation .

Id bet Ms.

Cecelia touched some of Ms.

Rhodess personal items while visiting .

Michael snorted and was ready to argue , but Andrew cut in , saying , Based on the inhalation theory , Ms.

That explains it .

The culprit must have known this , so the flower pollen method wasnt reliable .

Meanwhile , poisoning your coffee would have been foolproof if Eunice hadnt accidentally foiled their plan .

Eunice grimaced , wondering why she always ended up being the victim .

Brilliant ! Dr.

Lloyd , youre absolutely brilliant ! I could just kiss you ! Lauren beamed at Andrew with admiring eyes .

Chapter 38 Francesca sighed in frustration .

I shouldve realized the poison could spread through pollen too .
