What other secrets does this young girl hide from the world?
Her knowledge and perspective not only surpass her peers, but also many older people.
At first, Amelia despised and distrusted Viola Thompson.
She always felt that Viola behyaved recklessly.
But now, it seems that…
It’s not like that.
Viola is impressive, but not in the least arrogant.
From beginning to end, she has been humble, which makes her irresistibly likable.
Ling nods, “Yes, Captain also said the same thing.”
Viola slightly frowns, pouring a few pills from the bottle, placing them in her palm, and carefully distinguishing them.
There is nothing wrong with the pills.
A moment later, Viola puts the pills aside and asks, “Are there any other medicines?”
“No,” Ling replies. “If Sylvia really drugged Maureen, she must have disposed of the drugs long ago, right?”
The pills are small in volume.
They can be flushed away directly in the toilet.
Viola shakes her head slightly, “No, I must be missing something.”
Definitely.
Drugs that cause unconsciousness are not easy to buy and are sold under real-name systems. If Sylvia really wanted to hurt someone, she wouldn’t leave any evidence.
Thus, Sylvia wouldn’t buy drugs that cause unconsciousness directly.
At that moment, Viola suddenly thinks of something and says, “Antacid medicines contain aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide. If taken with vitamin C, they can cause adverse reactions, leading to unconsciousness!”
Upon hearing this, Ling asks, “Really?”
“Yes,” Viola nods slightly, “This is common medical knowledge. People studying medicine should know.”
Ling continues, “In that case, it’s very likely that Sylvia made Maureen take these drugs!”
Halfway through her sentence, Ling seems to remember something, “But the medicine must have a taste, right? How did Sylvia make sure Maureen would obediently eat it?”
Viola replies, “That’s easy. Just put it in fruit juice, or if Maureen was already not feeling well and taking medicine, Sylvia could just switch the pills.”
Ling nods, feeling that Viola’s reasoning is sound.
“By the way, Miss Thompson, we also found a camera in Maureen’s living room. But, according to Maureen, it’s been broken for a while and can’t be used. We still took the storage card out, though.”
“Can I take a look?” Viola asks.
“Of course.”
Viola is an expert in this field, after all. What if she can fix it?
…
Edward Thompson is temporarily imprisoned in a detention center.
He stays in a large open room with 15 other people.
The environment in the detention center is not good.
The roommates are diverse, comprising of all sorts of strange folks.
Upon learning that Edward Thompson was a famous star,
Fourteen roommates joined hands to tease and bully him.
They intentionally wet his blankets and hide his toiletries.
Edward Thompson not only has to face his roommates’ gaunts and exclusion, but also has to get up at 6:30 a.m. every day, face the wall in self-reflection, exercise, study legal knowledge and newspapers, and in the afternoon, operate a sewing machine to do handicrafts.
When has Edward Thompson ever suffered like this?
In just three days, Edward Thompson looks like a completely different person, unshaven and depressed.
He doesn’t understand.
Not long ago, he was still a high-profile star; how did he become like this now?
“Edward Thompson, come here.”
At that moment, a voice echoed through the air.
“Yes, sir!”
Edward Thompson reflexively stands up.
That is the rule of the detention center.
When he gets out, he will be a law-abiding citizen and never return.
He doesn’t want to live like this anymore.
“Edward Thompson, come with me, someone wants to see you.”
Someone wants to see him?
Who is it?
Is it his family?
It must be Mrs. Thompson with the lawyer again!
Thinking of that, Edward Thompson gets excited and perks up, following the police officer out.
Separated by an iron fence, Edward Thompson sees the visitor.
It’s Sylvia.
Seeing Sylvia, Edward Thompson immediately feels a surge of anger.
He turns to leave.
Sylvia, with red-rimmed eyes, calls out, “Big bro!”
She looks pitiful and wronged.
If it had been before, Edward Thompson would have felt heartache.
Because Sylvia was his most beloved sister.
But now…
No more!
Mrs. Thompson was right; he was blind. He used to think Sylvia was a kind and sensible girl, but now that he sees her without the filter, he realizes that the most disgusting and deceitful person in the Thompson Clan is Sylvia!
