The hidden billionaire heiress (Lyra Melvin)

Chapter 578 Suspicion

Even Charles was helping Lyra. Travis can't argue with her, grunted sorrowfully, made a gesture to

straighten out his suit and left the room.

Once he left, Lyra asked all the servants in the room, except Charles, away with excuses.

"There are so many people at the villa today. It's a mess. You guys go down and greet them, serve

fruits, snacks and great tea. Don't allow anyone to come near the door of this room until the doctors

examine Rudolph's body. Do you hear me clearly?"

"Yes, Mrs. White."

A group of servants soon left the room.

The bedroom instantly became quite spacious. Except Rudolph who was unconscious on the bed, only

Micah, Lyra, Charles and the medical team were in the room.

Micah finished examining Rudolph's body and checked the medications he was taking recently.

He shared basically the same opinion as the medical team, "It should have been food poisoning from

eating foods that are compatible with the medication. So it resulted in unconsciousness."

Now that the room was full of her own people, Lyra simply said, "How could he eat foods that are Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

incompatible? Charles, you prepare the food and watch him eating, right?"

Charles was deep in thought, "I really did not leave Rudolph. I have checked everything he ate. All is

edible. And the chefs are aware of Mr. Rudolph's conditions so they make food particularly carefully.

There should no problem."

Everyone in the room fell into silence.

For no reason, Lyra recalled the episode when Travis knelt bedside and cried.

Although he was showing his filial piety, Lyra disliked him from the bottom of her heart, and even felt

that he was acting very pretentiously as if he was deliberately crying in front of them.

With that in mind, she asked Charles, "Was Travis there when grandpa had his lunch?"

Charles shook his head, "Mr. Travis came in in the afternoon. Probably spent some time alone with Mr.

Rudolph in the study reading books. It seemed they have drank a pot of tea."

Tea?

Lyra frowned, "Has he eaten anything else?"

"This is not so clear. After all, there are fruits and snacks in the study. They were at the study alone. I

am sure it is not convenient to go in and listen to their conversation. But after coming out of the study,

Mr. Rudolph said he did not eat anything, and Mr. Travis did not bring anything over today."

The room fell silent again.

Although Charles said so, Lyra always felt that things were fishy.

It was too coincidental.

No one can be trusted and it was not easy to investigate.

Lyra said decisively, "It is not like he accidentally ate the wrong thing on his own but it's more like

someone deliberately did this to him. It's really not that easy to investigate this. We can call the police

directly. Get the police down here, bring in everyone who's been in close proximity to grandpa today.

Then we'll find something. "

Charles objected, "Mrs. White, you can't do this. If Mr. Rudolph wakes up, I'm afraid he'll not be in favor

of making it a big deal. Once this matter becomes a deliberate murder. Mr. Malcolm is not there and the

clan will be chaotic."

Lyra just said that she was aware of the stakes of the situation.

As soon as Malcolm returned, the White family will have a backbone and these matters will be handled

well.

But Malcolm was not here. It was best to keep this matter secret and see what the offender will do next.

She said, "So let's just forget about all of this. The medical team and Micah will do their best to save

grandpa. When he wakes up, he may know it clear what happened."

Charles bowed, "Yes, Mrs. White."

Lyra looked at Micah and thanked him again, "Thanks, Micah. I'm relieved to have you here to keep an

eye on this."

Micah's expression was bland, "It's not a big deal. You can rest assured about that and leave it to me.

You can keep dealing with your business."

Lyra nodded gratefully and turned to leave the bedroom.

Walking down the aisle of the room, she could hear the sounds of the living room below which was very

noisy.

A group of the Whites talked about something down there.

Except Albert and Sylvia who were friendly, Lyra didn't want to care about the other.

She turned upstairs once again to check on Spencer and Momo, who were kept on the top floor, before

she left.

Since she was here, she felt indebted if she didn't visit the two little ones.

Once she was on her way upstairs, before she had a chance to enter Rudolph's specially decorated

nursery for the two babies, another servant, who was anxious and panicked, ran upstairs.

The servant was here for her.

"Mrs. White, something's happened."

It was always the same opening lately. Lyra looked down and was secretly upset, "Just say it. What

happen?"

"The police department sends someone to come and see you."

"For me?"

Lyra, who was suspicious, inexplicably followed the servant downstairs and saw several police officers

waiting in front of the villa.

When they saw Lyra coming, the lead police officer took the initiative to show his ID, "Hello Mrs. White,

we received a report that you have been charged with illegally imprisoning a girl of Owhil's nationality.

Please come with us."

With his words, Lyra knew instantly who did this, "The one who reported me, was it Paul Hoare?"

The police were well aware that she was Malcolm White's wife so they spoke to her with extra

politeness, "Because the missing person is Earl Hoare's girlfriend, this is a very important matter. We

must ask you to come to the station with us to assist in the investigation."

Lyra did not expect that Paul not only did not run away, but also be quietly behind the scenes to make

this.

He seemed like a smart person. Knowing that there were people she had arranged and Collin's private

army last night, no one could stop her to take Anne Windsor away.

That was why he ran away, looking for an opportunity to back stab.

Lyra criticized as she asked in a serious manner, "He sues me for illegal imprisonment. Where is the

evidence?"

Police: "We have sent someone to the Lloyd Manor in Anning Hill villa. We found Anne Windsor in the

basement. She's imprisoned and kidnapped. It has been determined. We're only finding out who the

perpetrator is."

Lyra frowned and her tone was gradually gloomy, "Did you release her?"

The police officer nodded: "Yes, Miss Windsor seems to be in a serious shock and is currently very

unstable. She has been taken away by Mr. Earl Hoare."

Lyra was speechless and a little angry.

She made great efforts to catch her but the police came and scuttled her plan.

Because of Paul Hoare's identity, and Anne Windsor's excellent acting skills, the police released her.

She suppressed the anger, "It is true that I put her in the basement, but she is not Anne Windsor. She's

my family's illegitimate daughter. She made a mistake and is punished for a day only. Why making a

fuss ?"

The police officers looked at each other, "Mrs. White, if this is a family matter, can you show us the

evidence that Miss Windsor is the Lloyd family's illegitimate daughter?"

"Sure."

The police officer sensed the calmness on her face and believed her very much, "Please come to the

police station with us first. Make a statement and provide us some evidence."

Lyra's tone implied irritation, "If I can confirm that Anne Windsor is the Lloyd family's illegitimate

daughter, and you don't know the truth, and you release her, are you responsible for bringing her back

to me?"
