"It's not out of the question..." Micah's eyes narrowed slightly.

"So tell me, who's setting her up?" Micah's grandfather raised an eyebrow, waiting expectantly. "Silas went through the security footage. From grinding the beans to brewing the coffee, all the way to carrying it to your office, she didn't come into contact with anyone."

Micah's grandfather paused as if recalling something and added with a sneer, "Oh no, that's wrong. She ran into Andrew at your office door and handed him the coffee. You mean to say that Andrew poisoned the coffee and pinned it on her?" "Ah!" Andrew's eyes widened in shock. "I didn't do anything."

"After Andrew took the coffee, he entered your office, and we lost sight of him on the cameras." Silas bowed respectfully toward Micah and added with a smile, "Logically speaking, Andrew is a suspect, too. If you think I'm not being fair, I can hand Andrew and Miss Sadie over to the police and let them decide."

Andrew looked at Micah nervously, not daring to say a word.

"Or, you could check your office cameras to see if Andrew did something," suggested Silas.

"No need." Micah sat back in his chair, his voice cold. "There are no cameras in my office!" "Then-"

"Andrew's clean," Micah cut in decisively. "He's been with me for ten years his entire life is invested in me. He wouldn't pull such a boneheaded move." "And..."

Micah looked sternly at Sadie. "She's clean too. After the fact, she went back to my office. If she had put the poison, she could have simply taken the coffee cup and covered up all traces. Even if she isn't the sharpest tool in the shed, she wouldn't be that dumb."

"You're obviously biased." Micah's grandfather barked angrily, "Amelia is your fiancée, for heaven's sake! She is lying in a coma because of poisoning, and you still defend another woman at a time like this?" "I'm simply stating the facts," Micah insisted firmly.

Sadie looked at him deeply, feeling a wave of relief. At the crucial moment, he still believed in and defended her...

"Enough!" Micah's grandfather was done wasting time. "I owe it to Nelson to sort this out."

"What are you waiting for? Take them away."

"Yes, sir." Silas promptly obeyed.

"Don't..." Sadie panicked instantly.

"Who dares?" Micah's thunderous voice halted everyone.

Silas hesitated, not daring to make a move.

"Dare to cross me?!" Micah's grandfather was furious, slamming his cane down with force.

Micah had no patience for chatter and gestured with his hand.

Rylan and his crew swiftly encircled Silas and his people.

"I'm sorry, master," Rylan said meekly.

Silas frowned deeply and looked at the old man.

"You, you..." Micah's grandfather trembled with anger, his grip on his cane shaking. "You ungrateful brat, you dare to..."

"Sir, please calm down." Silas rushed to placate him. "Mr. Clemens isn't defying you; he just wants to investigate personally."

"Silas is right," Micah conceded, stepping down the staircase. "Grandpa, I promise to get to the bottom of this and will report back to you and Mr. Luminex, but for now, you can't take my people away." "I must deal with this woman today," Micah's grandfather stood his ground, "Who knows what trouble she'll cause next time!"

"Grandpa..."

"Calm your anger, old man!" At that moment, Nelson hurried over to interject, "Amelia has woken up. Dr. Rey says she's not in any danger."

"Amelia's awake? That's good, that's very good." Micah's grandfather breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go. I want to see her."
