Chapter 285: Chapter 285

A whole class of students from the Imperia University School of Medicine ended up in the hospital due to poisoning. Such a malicious incident has drawn significant attention from the police station.

"Chief, Eleanor Linden is really tight-lipped. No matter what method we use, we can’t get any useful information from her during the interrogation..." The interrogating officer came out of the interrogation room with a troubled expression.

"This won’t do, we must find a way to make her talk. Our superiors are highly concerned about this matter..."

Just as the chief and others were at a loss, a cool, elegant voice rang out.

The interrogating officer looked at the suddenly appearing beautiful girl, furrowing his brows involuntarily, and reprimanded her.

"Where did this young girl come from? This is the police station, not a place for you to cause trouble! Leave quickly..."

He hadn’t finished his words when the chief hurriedly interrupted, "Shut up!"

This young lady is Young Master Everett’s precious sister, Master Damian’s fiancée, the most important figure in Imperia that cannot be offended!

The chief immediately put on a wide smile, brimming with respect, "Miss Everett, please, please!"

Serena Everett said no more and strode into the interrogation room with her long and straight legs.

Eleanor Linden’s face was pale, her delicate features covered with a fierce expression. Upon seeing Serena Everett, she became even more frenzied.

"Get out, I don’t want to see you! Get out of here! Why didn’t you drink it? The person who deserves to die the most is you!!!"

Unlike her frenzy, Serena Everett remained indifferent, sat down leisurely, and spoke in a cold voice.

"If you want to deal with me, you shouldn’t involve the innocent."

"They deserve it, they all deserve it!"

Eleanor Linden’s madness deepened as she spoke fiercely.

"Who told them to support you one by one?! Ever since I transferred here, they’ve rallied around you and isolated me! They coldly ridiculed me and flattered you, I just want to poison them all!"

Originally, her plan was perfect, putting the deadly poison into the classroom’s water dispenser. She knew the classmates were accustomed to drinking water in the classroom, so this way, she could eliminate her hated Serena Everett while ensuring Summer Miller and others would also perish!

But what she never expected was that Serena Everett would see through it!

Serena Everett: "Poisoning is a felony."

"So what?!" Eleanor Linden’s face contorted with rage, looking like a lunatic, "You ruined me so badly, making me lose my identity as a wealthy heiress, and caused me to become entangled with President Miller, that disgusting old man! You even found a bunch of thugs to assault me. At that moment, I swore in my heart to make you pay, no matter the cost!"

"Those accusations are nothing but a taste of your own medicine." Serena Everett coldly watched her, "As for finding thugs to assault you, I never did such a thing."

She disdains using such dirty means.

"It wasn’t you? Who are you trying to fool!"

Eleanor Linden snorted coldly, and recalling the humiliation she suffered yesterday, her gaze became even more venomous.

"If it wasn’t you, then who? Aren’t you holding a grudge for me scheming against you and sending you to President Miller’s bed? So you made sure that after President Miller violated me, you’d find a bunch of thugs to deal with me!"

"After I left the hotel yesterday, I went to the mall."

Serena Everett didn’t bother with idle chatter and directly threw the transaction records on her phone in front of Eleanor Linden.

"Here’s my shopping record, evidence that I was at the mall the whole time."

Eleanor Linden looked at the transaction records, disbelief widening her eyes. Those thugs weren’t brought by Serena Everett... then who was it?!

Eleanor Linden didn’t want to believe it, but the evidence Serena Everett presented forced her to accept it.

Serena Everett’s cool, elegant voice sounded slowly, "You were used."

Upon hearing this, Eleanor Linden suddenly realized—it was Silas!

Those thugs were brought by Silas!

No wonder he called immediately after those thugs had violated her... How could there be such a coincidence in this world? Sadly, she was blinded by hatred at that time and allowed herself to be used by him!

He only wanted to use her as a pawn to deal with Serena Everett!

"I know the poison wasn’t yours, but given to you by someone else."

This type of poison had never appeared in Celestia before. With Eleanor Linden’s abilities, she couldn’t get it, so there must be a hidden mastermind behind her! Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs novel·fire.net

Observing Eleanor Linden’s fluctuating expression, Serena Everett continued.

"You were used as a pawn; poisoning comes with at least a ten-year sentence, and your most precious ten years will be spent in prison while the one who used you remains carefree and free. Do you really accept that?"

Her tone was calm, but every word hit Eleanor Linden’s heart heavily, making her unsettled.

Silas actually fooled her, then she must drag him down as well! Why should she suffer alone?

The moment this thought emerged, Eleanor Linden eagerly spoke, "I’ll talk, I’ll say everything! You’re right, the medicine isn’t mine, someone else gave it to me!"

"That person is none other than Silas! He called me and instructed me to follow his plan for revenge. He seemed to have foresight, letting a deaf-mute little beggar deliver the poison..."

Speaking of this, Eleanor Linden gritted her teeth in hatred, no wonder his action was swift, it was all pre-calculated, using her as a pawn against Serena Everett!

Serena Everett’s exceedingly beautiful fox-like eyes slightly narrowed, having little impression of him, only vaguely recalling him always by Crystal Joyce’s side to protect her.

There’s never been any intersection between them, so why did he go to painstaking lengths plotting all this against her?

"I’m not lying, everything I said is true!"

Serena Everett didn’t bother listening to Eleanor Linden’s screams anymore, and she turned and left the interrogation room.

"Miss Everett, you’re truly remarkable, you got her to confess everything in just a short time!"

The observing interrogating officer quietly watched her throughout, initially discontent with her entering to interrogate the suspect.

After all, she was just a young girl, even trained professionals like them couldn’t extract key information from Eleanor Linden, let alone her.

But unexpectedly, it only took her just over ten minutes to make Eleanor Linden reveal everything!

"Miss Everett, here are the items we found at Eleanor Linden’s house!"

Seeing Serena Everett come out, the chief immediately approached her, handing her a small porcelain bottle.

Serena Everett opened it and took a whiff, already confirming in her heart that this was the unknown poison Eleanor Linden used in the water.

"I need to take this to study in order to develop the antidote and detoxify them."

"No problem, no problem!" The chief naturally wouldn’t refuse, nodding in agreement repeatedly, "Miss Everett, those students rely on you!"
