The Million-Dollar Heart

Chapter 1047

Evening.

Yorick had heard about the Perez family's ordeal and, over dinner, he tasked Arthur with a heavy tone, "Since this case falls under your watch, you need to catch the criminal at all costs. We can't let such people off easily!" Arthur nodded, "Don't worry, dad. They won't get far!"

Yorick then turned to Sasha, his tone softening, "Sasha, don't stress too much. Whatever concerns the Perez family concerns us, the Linklaters. If you need any help, just say the word."

Sasha felt a warmth in her heart, "Thanks, dad."

She then served Yorick a bowl of soup.

Yorick took a sip.

Arthur and Sasha had just started to eat when suddenly,

"Crack!"

Yorick's face tightened suddenly, clutching his chest, and collapsing onto the table.

Arthur jumped up, rushing over, "Dad, what's wrong?"

The butler was equally startled, rushing to call for help, "Quick, get the doctor!"

Sasha came over, checking Yorick's pulse, her brows furrowing, "It's too late, dad's been poisoned. Lay him flat on his side, quick!" Arthur did as told.

Sasha swiftly used a needle to induce vomiting, and shortly after, Yorick spat out a mouthful of the clear soup he had just ingested. Sasha's eyes turned icy, "The soup was poisoned!"

Arthur's face turned grim, "Find out who entered the kitchen today. No one gets off the hook."

If it weren't for Yorick drinking that soup earlier,

likely, everyone at the table would have been poisoned by now.

Someone was clearly after the Linklater family's lives!
