The Ex and Her Riches

 Chapter 578 Suspicions 

Even Logan sided with Gwendolyn and stood up for her, so there was no way for Xander to argue with her. Hence, Xander snorted angrily, straightened his suit in a feigned elegant manner, and left Valentino’s room.

As soon as he left, she made up an excuse to dismiss the other housekeepers in the room apart from Logan. “With so many people coming to the villa today, there’s a whole commotion outside. All of you should go to attend to the guests. Serve fruits, pastries, and coffee. Don’t allow anyone near this room before the doctors are done checking on Old Mr. Jenson. Understood?”

“Yes, Mrs. Jenson.”

The housekeepers departed swiftly, and the room instantly felt much more spacious. Apart from the unconscious Valentino lying on the bed, the only people left were Kieran, Logan, and the Jenson family’s medical corps.

After examining Valentino, Kieran went through the medicine the former had been taking recently. His diagnosis turned out similar to that of the medical corps’. “I think he ate something that interfered with the medicine, thus resulting in food poisoning and unconsciousness.”

Since everyone in the room was on the same side, Gwendolyn responded simply, “Logan is the one who usually takes care of what Grandpa eats. How could he have eaten something like that?”

Logan contemplated for a moment. “I haven’t left Old Mr. Jenson’s side at all. I checked everything he ate, and everything was edible. On top of that, the cooks we hire are aware of Old Mr. Jenson’s high blood pressure and high cholesterol, so they’re extremely careful when preparing the food. There shouldn’t have been any issues.”

Everyone in the room went quiet.

For some reason, Gwendolyn suddenly recalled the scene of Xander kneeling at the head of Valentino’s bed earlier while sobbing.

Although he had been showing his filial piety, she could not help feeling a strong dislike toward him. In fact, she felt his actions had been very contrived and that he had deliberately cried in front of others for all to see.

As those thoughts crossed her mind, she asked Logan, “Was Xander here when Grandpa had his lunch?”

Logan shook his head. “He only came here in the afternoon. He spent some time alone with Old Mr. Jenson reading in the study. I think they drank a pot of coffee.”

Coffee? She frowned. “Did they eat anything else?”
