Chapter 1896: Chapter 1896: Summer Hall Side Story (98)

"Later, I saw she had become a vegetable, not knowing if there was any chance of her getting better. She was already so pitiful, it would be inhumane of me to take advantage of the situation, so I had Nighthawk withdraw."

What she said sounded quite logical on the surface, especially since she was saying it in front of Thomas Smith, easily fooling him.

Thomas Smith nodded, "Alright, second brother understands, second brother trusts you."

Olivia Smith finally revealed a trace of wild joy on her face.

"There’s one more thing..."

Thomas Smith’s brow furrowed again, more severely than the first time.

The smile on Olivia’s face slowly froze, "Second brother, if there’s anything, ask it all at once. I don’t want even the second brother I trust the most to not believe me."

Thomas sensed the hint of defiance in her tone and quickly explained:

"It’s not that second brother doesn’t believe you, just afraid that big brother might harm you, so I want to get things clear. That way, second brother can help you."

Olivia’s nose twitched with sobs, heavy with a nasal tone, "Ask away."

Thomas pondered for a moment, then said:

"The night before last and last night, big brother showed me a drug analysis report. It’s the component of the drug I gave you before. Big brother has started suspecting me."

Olivia’s face suddenly turned pale, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes.

"I haven’t figured out what’s going on, so I didn’t dare admit to big brother that it was from me. But you should know, with big brother’s abilities, he will definitely find out. It’s only a matter of time."

The panic on Olivia’s face intensified, but she couldn’t reveal herself easily, so she forced herself to stay calm and said:

"What’s wrong with the drug? Why is big brother investigating the drug?"

Her eyes were blank and innocent as if the whole matter was really unrelated to her.

And it was clear that Thomas really believed her once again.

"This drug was extracted and analyzed by Leo Hall from the remnants in Helen Melendy’s body. Big brother only suspects me so far and hasn’t gotten conclusive evidence, but as long as big brother asks Leo Hall to investigate, he’ll definitely find results. Before big brother acts, I must figure out the reason so I can help you, do you understand?"

This time Olivia was truly panicking, so she didn’t dare pretend in front of Thomas anymore. She just nodded and said:

"I understand, second brother, whatever you want to know, I’ll tell you."

"Tell me truthfully, why did that drug appear in Helen Melendy’s body?"

Thomas’s eyes deepened as he asked this question.

"I...I don’t know. When I asked for that drug from you back then, it was just for my own self-defense, always kept it with me. I only mentioned to a few classmates how powerful it was, but within a few days, the drug was lost."

She pursed her lips, sneaking a glance at Thomas’s silent expression, and continued:

"I thought at the time, it was just one pill, lost and that’s that. No one else knew its purpose, so they couldn’t possibly pick it up and take it themselves, right? So, I didn’t make a fuss."

She grabbed Thomas’s arms tightly, crying out in desperation:

"Second brother, I really didn’t know someone would take that pill to harm Helen Melendy. I really didn’t know. Please, don’t tell big brother, otherwise, he’ll definitely kick me out."
