Relentless Pursuit After Divorce-Chapter 1962: Summer Hall Side Story (164)

The more he denied it, the more everyone felt he had something to hide, which was not good for Olivia.

Thinking this, he sighed, put the envelope aside, and said:

"That’s right, this drug indeed came from my hands, but I had nothing to do with poisoning Helen Melendy."

The coldness in Edward Smith’s eyes deepened, he wasn’t surprised that Thomas Smith would deny this matter.

But he was clear in his heart that Thomas Smith must know the whereabouts of this drug.

He sat on the sofa, watching Thomas Smith’s evasive gaze without a word, the cold light in his eyes gathering bit by bit.

The more he remained silent, the more it made people feel a chill in their hearts.

Being watched by him for a while, Thomas Smith couldn’t take it and spoke first, "Brother, I’m not lying to you, the poison on Helen Melendy was not administered by me."

Fearing that Edward Smith wouldn’t believe him, he added, "If you don’t believe me, send someone to investigate."

Edward Smith looked at his confident demeanor, and his lips curled with a cold smile.

"Since this drug came from you, why did you deny it when I asked you before?"

The icy black eyes reflected a chilling cold light, "If your conscience is clear, what’s there to deny?"

"I..."

Thomas Smith was stumped by Edward Smith’s question, three pairs of eyes fixed on his face, making him flush red.

Recalling Olivia’s incredibly frightened look when she begged him that day, and his brother’s ruthless methods, Thomas Smith didn’t dare to tell the truth. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Edward Smith didn’t want to discuss why he denied it back then, he came straight to the point and asked:

"Where’s the drug, who did you give it to?"

"I... I threw it away."

The guilt in Thomas Smith’s eyes intensified.

Edward Smith coldly looked at him and asked again:

"Where did you throw it?"

"I..."

Thomas Smith was about to casually say something to get by, but Edward Smith interrupted him, saying:

"Thomas Smith, I’m only giving you one chance, I’ll ask you again, why did you make this drug, and who did you give it to after it was made?"

He narrowed his eyes, a chilling dangerous aura bursting from his eyes, and continued in a steady voice:

"If I have to investigate, you know what you’ll be facing."

Hearing this, Thomas Smith felt a panic rising in his heart, he knew Edward Smith wasn’t bluffing.

He also knew how resourceful his brother was, if he investigated, he would definitely find out, it was just a matter of time.

If even he was driven out by the Smith Family, how would he protect Olivia in the future?

Images of Olivia’s shy face and her reluctant yet bashful look while holding his hands flashed through his mind, his gaze softened, and his determination to protect her grew stronger.

He looked at Thomas Smith with determined eyes and asked:

"If I tell you, can you promise not to take it out on anyone else?"

He thought Edward Smith would surely agree, but he simply looked at him coldly and said:

"Do you think if you don’t tell me, I can’t find out? Asking you now is just giving you a chance to be honest, but if you don’t want to, you can tell me directly and not waste my time."

Saying this, he stood up from the sofa, his gaze exuding a cold sharpness that made Thomas Smith’s heart tremble.

The next second, Edward Smith leaned closer, lowered his voice, but it was enough for everyone in the room to hear:

"Do you think I don’t know you gave it to Olivia?"

When Edward Smith said this, his gaze stayed on Thomas Smith’s face all along, naturally not missing the panic and guilt flashing in his eyes when he mentioned Olivia.
