Moonlit Betrayal (Alpha Rick)

Chapter 86

“Mr. Lewis, I’m sorry I can’t save him. This man.. has been poisoned. He is dead.”

Not long after Ethan’s personal doctor arrived here, the man on the ground had already died.

Ethan raised his hand. It was not surprising that the man who had been poisoned. “Well. What kind of poison did he get?”

“This poison is very unusual. The poisoning did not occur suddenly. It has been dormant in the body for a long time. The man’s fainting two days ago was also due to this poison.

“From the day he has been poisoned, there were no symptoms. Then, he became dizzy little by little and finally became delirious and foamed at the mouth. His condition seemed to be not serious, but in fact, his internal organs were rotten. It was a terrible poison.

“I’ve only read about this polson in books, but I’ve never actually seen it. I heard my teacher call it ‘Gentle Poison‘, but I don’t know what it is. The poison is rare.”

Dominick frowned slightly, saying, “It seems that the plotter didn’t intend to let these killers go back alive. That person is really cruel.”

Ethan looked at the lifeless man on the ground. “Although he is dead, I think it is easier to replace the plotter. After all, this poison is rare. As long as we can replace out who has this poison, we can narrow down the scope of the investigation

“The plotter is ruthless and thoughtful, without leaving us a clue to investigate. It seems to be a difficult opponent.”

Dominick said nothing more and stood up to leave.

The platter could actually calculate that the dead man on the ground would die before Dominick could reveal any useful information. Obviously, he or she should be a ruthless character.

If it was just a simple attack for money, the plotter would definitely not make things so troublesome.

Dominick thought, ‘It seems that I have to protect Lola better in the future!

“Layla, it’s a nice day today. Would you like to go to the piano concert with me?”

Scott came to Lola early in the morning. He seemed to have forgotten what had happened yesterday. He was as gentle and elegant as before.

Lola inexplicably felt that she had made Scott sad because she went to the hospital to see Dominick in the hospital yesterday. Even though she didn’t like the piano concert, she still agreed.

This feeling was indescribably strange. Lola didn’t want to go, but when Scott spoke, she felt that she couldn’t control her mind and subconsciously agreed.

Just like she couldn’t remember the past between her and Scott, nor how deep their relationship was, she still instinctively told herself that Scott was the only man she liked and her childhood sweetheart, and the two of them would definitely get married.

Such thoughts seemed to be engraved in her mind, and she could not resist or refuse Scott.

“Layla, you don’t talk much lately.”

y.” Scott looked at the quiet girl in the passenger seat

Jolted back to reality, Lola shook her head gently. “Maybe it’s because I didn’t rest well yesterday.”

“Which date do you think is good for our engagement banquet? I want to hold it as soon as possible.” Scott suddenly mentioned the

engagement as if testing Lola.

Lola lowered her head slightly. It was a happy thing, but somehow, she felt inexplicably depressed.

“You decide. It is all right with me.”

Scott nodded with a smile, but when he turned his head, his eyes darkened a bit

When he mentioned the engagement just now, he didn’t see a trace of excitement or brightness in Lola’s eyes like before.

The plane concert was a bit boring for Lola. As she listened, her thoughts wandered far away.

Dominick should not have been discharged from the hospital yet. After all, he was so seriously injured.

Would it be too callous of her not to visit him? After all, he was her savior.

But if Scott knew about it again, he would probably be unhappy again.

“How d

dare you have the nerve to appear here! You don’t deserve to listen to such noble music!”

A sharp female voice pulled back Lola’s thoughts. The piano concert might have just ended, and the audience had not yet left.

She looked in the direction where the voice came from and saw a young girl who looked arrogant and sarcastic.

The girl’s eyes were full of hostility towards Lola.

“Tiffany! Don’t talk nonsense. Shut up!”

“Tiffany?”

Lola then remembered that this girl had appeared on the day of her accident. Tiffany was very malicious towards her. It was because Ethan taught Tiffany a lesson that Lola was left alone in the square.

“Scott! Why are you still speaking for Layla? I heard that she cheated on you. She already has you, but she still seduces other men. Even if Layla is a princess, I will speak out about her scandals.”

After Tiffany finished speaking, not only Lola but also everyone present looked at her in shock..

Scott frowned slightly but still explained patiently, “Tiffany, you got Layla wrong. You can’t slander her.

“That is a private matter between the two of us. We don’t want others to interfere. Besides, we are in a good relationship now. Don’t make wild guesses.”

What Scott said was not wrong, but Lola thought his explanation was of no use.

It was better to say that nothing had happened and the rumors were all false.

However, Scott made such an explanation as if he was covering up the fact.

The audience present did not leave but stayed to watch the show among the nobles.

Tiffany put her hands on her hips like she would take up the cudgel for Scott.

“Scott, you have a good temper. Since you don’t scold Layla, I’ll do it for you. Anyway, I can’t stand her behaviors.”

Ethan didn’t know the identity of this young girl, and yet she approached her with abusive words, Lola couldn’t be bothered to explain anything to Tiffany.

“Forget it. Let’s go.”

Scott looked at Lola worriedly, saying, “Layla, don’t mind. She is Tiffany Hastings, the daughter of my father’s friend. I have always treated her as my sister. She is young and impulsive, so don’t take what she said seriously.”

Lola frowned slightly. She didn’t want to mind, but Tiffany had said this twice in public, which had seriously affected her reputation.

“You feel guilty, so you want to run away, right? Look, this woman is the president’s youngest daughter and the noble seventh princess. She already has such an excellent partner, yet she still hooks up with other men. Shame on her!”

Tiffany seemed to have no intention of letting Lola go easily.

Lola’s face darkened, and her gaze was sharper than ever before.

“First of all, I didn’t do anything to betray Scott. Second, you and I are not familiar with each other. You don’t know me, so don’t jump to conclusions

“I don’t want to explain because I don’t want to waste time with a young girl, but it doesn’t mean that I acquiesce to the disgrace you have placed on me.”

Scott was stunned. He had never seen Lola be so angry.
