Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 374

“I didn’t say anything about you being the murderer, Arnaud. Why are you getting so nervous, huh?” Jefferson snapped at him angrily.

“I’m not nervous.” Arnaud leaned lazily against the couch as he continued, “I just don’t appreciate you glaring daggers at me like that. You’re looking at me like I’m the murderer.”

Boniel cut them off, “That’s enough! I don’t want to hear another word from you two until the doctor arrives!”

He then turned toward Rayna, who was somewhat pale from fear, and added, “You look terrified. How about I have the housekeeper clean up your bedroom so you can get some rest upstairs?”

Rayna shook her head and politely declined his offer, “Thank you very much, Old Mr. Terblanc, but I’d prefer to stay here with you guys.”

Boniel said nothing further after that.

About ten minutes later, the doctor finally arrived. He was going to greet Boniel upon entering the living room, but Boniel motioned for him to examine the body upstairs first.

The doctor nodded and went upstairs while everyone else continued to wait in the living room.

About five minutes later, the doctor came back downstairs and said with a solemn expression, “The gown was coated with a huge amount of very deadly poison. It enters a person’s body upon contact and spreads rapidly throughout the entire body, resulting in an agonizing death within ten seconds.”

Boniel turned toward Rayna and asked, “Did you wear that gown today?”

“I never wore it again after changing out of it last night. It was already noon by the time I woke up today, so I brushed my teeth and went downstairs for lunch. After that, Calbert and I went to see you in the study. It was three in the afternoon when we returned to the bedroom. I then took a nap and woke up at half past seven. Calbert and I then came downstairs for dinner,” Rayna explained in detail.

Boniel summoned the housekeeper and asked her, “Were you and Martha the ones in charge of cleaning Ms. Garland’s bedroom today?”
