Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 482: She was Poisoned…

"The princess went to Colorado earlier, and then directly came from Colorado to Whitehill. The subordinates only know that while in Colorado, the princess stabbed Adrian, and now is with Adrian’s half-brother, Virgil Davies. Moreover, on their way to Whitehill, Adrian and his brother got into a gunfight. The princess shot at Adrian and pushed him off the cliff, and he remains missing to this day. As for the reasons behind these events, the subordinates have yet to uncover them."

Muir was shocked.

He hadn’t expected so many things to happen in such a short amount of time.

He clearly remembered the good relationship between Melody and Adrian, and moreover, Adrian is the biological father of the two children, isn’t he!

What exactly happened that could have led Melody to assassinate Adrian and push him off a cliff, causing him to fall into the sea and disappear?

Previously, he only instructed Ralph Carter to follow Melody from afar unless her life was in danger, in which case Ralph would need to reveal himself to protect her.

Besides protecting Melody, Ralph also had the task of seeking destiny.

And during this period, because of destiny, Ralph had not been by Melody’s side, and Muir was aware of this.

Therefore, it’s not easy for Ralph to know the current situation, and Muir did not blame him.

Now Melody seems well, as if nothing’s wrong.

Could it be that the conflict with Adrian led to Melody’s series of actions, and then she returned to Whitehill agreeing to accept the position of Crown Prince?

No, that’s not right!

Melody is his daughter; despite their recent acquaintance, he still understands her.

Knowing Melody’s personality, even if there were any major conflicts with Adrian, she would never harm Adrian considering the two children!

No, Melody’s situation is not right, he must let Tannis take a look.

Muir looked at Ralph Carter and asked, "Do you have Tannis’s whereabouts?"

Ralph Carter nodded and replied coldly, "Tannis is currently on his way back to Whitehill."

"Good." Muir looked at Ralph Carter, waving his hand, "You may leave now."

...

After Ralph Carter left, Muir called for Kuhn.

Looking at the pale, thin boy in white, he commanded in a deep voice, "Tomorrow the princess is to open the treasure, and I’ve noticed something’s off. You must protect the princess well!"

Kuhn nodded, "Yes!"

Recalling Melody Parker’s abnormalities, Muir wearily waved his hand, "You may leave."

Kuhn stood still, looking in a direction, and coldly said, "Come out!"

Muir was shocked.

Was there really someone hiding in his palace?

How long had this person been hiding in his palace?

And with what intention?

As Muir speculated, Mark, exposed by Kuhn, emerged from the shadows.

Seeing the figure in black, Muir asked coldly, "Who are you?"

"King, entering the palace secretly and hiding is indeed inappropriate, but I mean no harm," Mark approached King Muir while taking out his credentials, introducing himself, "I am Laurant Foster, an M Country detective; here are my credentials."

Muir examined Laurant Foster’s credentials, confirming his identity.

But even knowing Laurant Foster is an international detective, so what?

Silently infiltrating his palace, trespassing on his halls, what of Whitehill’s dignity?

Muir, confident in his royal stature, proclaimed, "Our Whitehill is isolated and never interacts with outsiders. Even if you are an M Country detective, you have no reason to hide in my palace!"

Mark, addressing Muir, sincerely apologized, "King, please forgive me. I hid in your palace out of sheer necessity."

After speaking and before Muir could respond, he continued, "I came here for your daughter, the Eldest Princess of Whitehill, and it was Benjamin Parker who sent me."

Mark then took out the token Benjamin Parker had given him before coming to the palace, "Benjamin gave me this, saying the King would believe upon seeing it."

In Mark’s hand was a jade pendant, precisely the one Muir had previously commissioned for Benjamin Parker while he was in Whitehill.

The same jade pendant, but with a different pattern, Benjamin and Daniel each had one.

Seeing this pendant, Muir believed in Mark’s identity.

After confirming Mark’s identity and knowing he wouldn’t harm the king, Kuhn immediately excused himself, "King, I shall take my leave."

"Hmm." Muir nodded, "You may leave."

Once Kuhn had left, Mark immediately said, "Melody went to Colorado this time and fell victim to mind control by global fugitive Virgil Davies. She’s now under Virgil’s control, and Virgil orchestrated her return to steal Whitehill’s treasure... So King, you must not let Virgil succeed; prevent him from taking the treasure and escaping!"

Muir was shocked, "What are you saying? Melody is under mind control!"

Mark nodded, "Yes!"

Muir felt his blood instantly reverse its flow.

No wonder, no wonder he felt Melody different upon her return; it’s because of the poison!

He knew something about the poison and understood how dangerous a person under its influence could be.

The mind of a poisoned person is basically controlled; regardless of her willingness, she must obey any command given by her controller.

No wonder Melody acted to assassinate Adrian...

Muir’s face was filled with worry, "What should I do now!"

Mark addressed Virgil Davies, resolutely saying, "No need for concern, King; follow your initial plan and agree with Melody, take her to open the treasure. Once Virgil reveals himself, we’ll intercept and eliminate him, ensuring Whitehill’s treasure won’t fall into criminal hands."

"Just Virgil alone wants to take my Whitehill treasure? It’s not that easy!" Muir confidently declared, then worriedly added, "More than that, I’m concerned about Melody’s condition."

Upon hearing Muir’s concerns, Mark immediately stated, "On this point, King, you can be assured. Once we capture Virgil, we’ll obtain the antidote from him. Melody just needs to take the antidote to recover; she will no longer be under Virgil’s control."

...

After Mark finished speaking, he soon left.

Muir, however, seemed like a deflated balloon, instantly losing strength, sitting heavily on a chair.

No, he can’t entirely rely on capturing Virgil for hope.

With unknown variables before capturing Virgil, what should be done in any sudden changes?

He must contact Tannis, and have him examine Melody and see if there’s any way to dispel the poison on her.
