It couldn't have been Serena; if it were, why would she insist on an investigation to prove her innocence?

"Serena, your aunt was just asking casually; she meant no harm," Belinda comforted, “She too wants to uncover the truth quickly

to clear the air for everyone. Maybe she was a bit abrupt in her approach, but don't take it to heart. It's not just your aunt; your

grandfather and | will make sure there's a thorough investigation. We won't let the person who's trying to harm us get away! If

you're innocent, I'll definitely do you justice"

“Thanks, Grandma," Serena said, her tears turning into a smile as she spoke endearingly, "Grandma, my hand reaily hurts."

She showed her hand to Belinda, revealing cuts and one palm even wrapped in a cast.

"Justin, how's Serena's injury?" Belinda asked with concern.

“She's got a minor fracture and will need about two weeks of recovery. I've prescribed smedication, and unless there's

something else, | should get going"

Justin felt a bit uneasy, knowing too well the discomfort of being privy to another family's issues.

“Thanks for your help. Someone escort Dr. Justin out, please."

After Justin left, Serena continued to play up her charm in front of her grandparents, apologizing for her behavior the night before,

claiming she drank too much and had no recollection, insisting it wasn't intentional.

Eunice realized why Arabella hadn't publicly accused Serena of possibly drugging her drink the night before—there was no

evidence.

Sharing an unsubstantiated claim with others would at best lead to half-hearted belief; no one would take it seriously.

Eunice rose with her tablet in hand to return to her room, just as she received a report from one of her aides.

"Ma'am, the drug you askedto look into hasn't turned up in Oakridge City and other cities. It might take a bit longer to find any

leads."

“Expand the search. Check the neighboring countries, especially Solterra, and do it thoroughly.

She felt more and more convinced that Serena was involved in this matter.

“Yes, ma'am."

Back in the living room.

After placating Darren and Belinda, Serena recalled Martha's words and a glint of luck flashed in her eyes.

Martha had said she'd covered her tracks well, leaving no trail for anyone to find.

It didn't matter what Darren, Belinda, Eunice, or Arabella did in their investigation.

Because the dealer was already dead!

Dead men tell no tales!

Even if by smiracle someone traced an indirect connection between Martha and dealer, there was no evidence to suggest

Martha had slipped the drug into Arabella’s drink, and Martha had no clear motive.

The number of people involved, even an organization, was not something Arabella could simply uncover!

With this thought, Serena's lips curled into a triumphant smile.
