Chapter 43 Chapter 43 +26 BONUS Andrew noticed Michaels obvious relief , and their eyes met silently across the room .

Andrew flashed Michael with a knowing smile , while Michaels gaze was mocking .

To him , even if Andrew had figured out some of his secrets , he was convinced Andrew did not know the identity of the actual poisoner .

As long as that person remainetl unknown , Michael believed he was safe .

Lauren might suspect him , but suspicion without evidence was meaningless .

I imagine everyone must be thirsty , Lauren suddenly announced .

Theres water in front of each of you to quench your thirst .

Michael frowned and said , Lauren , catching the culprit is more important .

Being thirsty isnt a priority right now .

Paul chimed in , Mr.

Rhodes is right .

Even if we die of thirst , we wont leave until we find the person who tried to harm you , Ms.

Rhodes .

Lauren smiled gracefully and declared , Ill be honest with everyone one of these glasses bas been poisoned by me .

Everyone must drink their water now .

Those with clear consciences will be fine , but as for the culprit … well , good luck .

All the executives were immediately alarmed .

Ms.

Rhodes , which glass did you poison ? This isnt right , Ms.

Rhodes .

What if you hurt the wrong person ? All these glasses look identical .

How can we tell which one is poisoned ? This seems reckless ! They were all sweating , staring at the glasses of water with fear .

Gulp after gulp , the glasses were emptied quickly Only Michael and Paul remained .

Pauls face turned pale as he looked at Lauren and said , Ms.

Rhodes , arsenic isnt something to joke about .

Are you sure … Lauren cut him off with a wave of her hand .

Mr.

Clarke , drink the water first .

If youre not the culprit , I guarantee youll be safe and sound .
