Villains Act Shamelessly: The Heiress was the Great National Master!-Chapter 275: Iris Knight Really Got Involved

The drugging happened last night, and the person was caught in the afternoon.

As for why, the police are still interrogating.

"It was Colin Cole?"

Aurora Sutton was dumbfounded upon hearing this news.

It took her a while to utter words of suffocating disbelief: "Is he sick? Or is he crazy?"

She thought that once Colin was expelled from school, the matter would be over.

But what kind of enmity did Celia Chambers have with him that he’d harm her like this?

Thea Shaw received the news from the police station: "Colin Cole knew some people at that bar. He told them he had issues with Celia Chambers, and they volunteered to help him vent his anger. He drugged her himself, and Celia Chambers just happened to order a uniquely conspicuous glass of juice. It was a clear target. A female friend of hers, who liked Colin, helped carry her to a room. Now, they’ve all been caught."

Aurora Sutton: "..."

Zia Sutton suddenly reacted, glaring viciously to the side: "That idiot probably thought if something happened to Celia, he could just wash his hands of the affair?"

"Could it be because of those two rich heirs?"

Thea Shaw speculated: "If those two rich heirs had really succeeded, this matter would implicate them, and to keep it quiet, they would likely cover for Colin Cole as well. He might have thought these two could shield him from the Sutton Family."

Celia Chambers was just Zia Sutton’s girlfriend; it made no sense for the Sutton Family to fight to the bitter end over her.

Who knew things wouldn’t go as planned, especially with Thea Shaw acting unpredictably, directly leveraging the Ford Group to press people with confidence.

Those two rich heirs couldn’t withstand such pressure.

"Wouldn’t it make more sense for Colin Cole to dislike me?" Aurora Sutton was incredulous: "I remember Celia barely spoke to him."

"I think he really wanted to target you." Thea Shaw had long noticed a dark air between Aurora Sutton’s brows and had warned her not to interact with Colin Cole. "He couldn’t find the opportunity, so since Celia is close to you and is Zia’s girlfriend, he found her disagreeable too."

Aurora Sutton still didn’t understand: "Then why exactly did he do this?"

"When someone finds you disagreeable, no reason is needed to be malicious, is it?"

Colin Cole’s willingness to stoop so low as to accompany wealthy women suggests his own lack of strong morals.

On the contrary, he sought to destroy a girl in this manner.

Moreover, Thea Shaw thought about Colin Cole’s acquaintance with Iris Knight. Could Iris Knight be involved as well?

Thea Shaw had just considered this possibility,

only to find Iris Knight really was involved.

After Jeffrey Owen and Evan Quill learned that Thea Shaw had the Ford Family as her backing, they obediently disclosed everything, simultaneously discovering the mastermind Colin Cole. To avoid getting dragged down themselves, they’d certainly want to thoroughly implicate Colin Cole.

Shortly after Colin Cole entered the police station, many people got wind of the news, and Celia Chambers, sitting at home, called Aurora Sutton.

Initially frightened by last night’s incident, upon knowing it was Colin Cole her worldview was shaken, compounded by an unexpected call. She didn’t know who to speak to and could only tell Aurora Sutton.

"Iris Knight called me." Celia Chambers revealed this unexpected news, feeling both shocked and wronged: "Iris Knight said Colin Cole is his brother, and said this time he just took a wrong turn, hoping I’d be magnanimous and let him off, offering me five million dollars as compensation."

Upon hearing this, Aurora Sutton: "..."

She felt that her worldview was enduring a severe shock.
