Chapter 1359 Something Left Unsolved (1/2)
Emily remained silent for a moment.
Taylor became a little worried. If the police came, surely there would be big news about the poisoning incident with Jacob. Then Darren would know.
So, Taylor tried to hang onto Emily's clothes, hoping to deter her. However, unexpectedly, Emily smiled happily and said, ”If Jacob has been poisoned and I don't call the police, that would also be strange.
Today, I slapped Lilian, making her think that I am enraged with her scheme. Then, Jacob was rushed to the hospital because of poisoning. If I continue to hide it from the world, a smart person like Darren will certainly find it odd and take note.”
Emily's reasoning seemed quite sound to Taylor.
She nodded and asked, ”What should we do then?”
”When the police show up, you can frisk Lilian carefully and interrogate her. If she is the real deal and tried to murder Jacob, then just take her away. If I can deal with Darren's spy this time, handling others who try to enter the manor would not be a problem,”
Emily reasoned.
Taylor thought it was risky, but she had no other choice. She was powerless to stop Emily from doing whatever she wanted. However, the police soon arrived and took Lilian away, but a search of her dorm room didn't turn up any poison.
Lilian felt deeply aggrieved and kept insisting that she was innocent.
After the police spent some time questioning Lilian, they also concluded that Lilian was indeed innocent.
Emily doubted this conclusion. She could only sit beside Jacob's bed and quietly ponder this question.
As soon as Jacob woke up, Emily told him what had happened. She had thought that Jacob would chide her for being ignorant or delaying his plans. Instead, he laughed softly, pulled Emily's hair and said, ”You did a good job. Lilian can't be allowed at the manor anymore.”
Emily felt relieved, but Jacob continued, ”But you were a little reckless though, and Lilian got away without the punishment she so richly deserves.”
”There should be a punishment?” Emily was confused.
