Chapter 2218 Suspicion


    “Yes, but my stomach is a little upset.” Francesca rubbed her belly. “It feels like I ate something wrong, but I haven’t


    eaten anything today except for a ss of milk.”


    The firstdy paled upon her words. “It must be the hunger. You’ve been working so hard today that you didn’t


    even have time to grab a bite, thus causing an upset stomach…”


    “I’ll be fine. I just need to drink more water when I get home,” said Francesca. “I’ll be fine even if I ate something


    wrong. I’m immune to poison.”


    The firstdy was stunned. Is she serious? “Ms. Felch!” Monica shouted. “Coming.” Francesca quickly went down the


    stairs. “Why did youe sote at night?”


    “To pick you up.” Monica gave Francesca a once-over and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine.”


    Francesca yawned. “Why wouldn’t I be?”


    “All right, that’s good to hear. I was worried that you might tire yourself out.” Monica heaved a sigh of relief. “I’ll go


    get your medical kit.”


    “Oh, right.” Francesca had forgotten all about her medical kit. “It’s in the guest room. Please help to get it for me.”


    “Okay.” Monica headed toward the guest room and ran into the firstdy at the stairs. She quickly bowed her head


    to greet her. The firstdy kept quiet as she walked over to Francesca. “Francesca, let me send you off.”


    “Ms. Felch has been staying in this room.” The bodyguard, who was standing by the door, showed Monica the way.


    Monica had wanted to snoop around the room for clues but disregarded the thought as she could feel the


    bodyguard watching her. She left the room as soon as she got the medical kit.


    Monica even smiled and nodded at the bodyguard on her way out.


    On the way back, Francesca’s stomach was a little upset. “That’s weird. I haven’t eaten anything all day. Why do I


    have an upset stomach?” she said after carefully examining herself.


    “Did you drink anything?” asked Monica.


    “A ss of milk. That’s it.”


    Francesca found herself a pill and downed it with some mineral water.


    “Is it the milk?” Monica asked without missing a beat. “Did anything happen to you after you drank the milk?”


    “No. I fell asleep right after.” Francesca shrugged. “I’d be able to tell immediately if something is wrong with the


    food. But I couldn’t tell if the milk was poisoned since I was so tired. Sleep was the only thing on my mind.”


    “You’re too careless.” Monica was a little panicky. “When did you fall asleep? Did anything happen after you fell


    asleep?”


    “What could happen?” Francescaughed. “I’m immune to poison. They wouldn’t be able to do anything to me


    even if the milk was poisoned. Moreover, it’s the presidential pce we’re talking about. Who would dare poison


    me?”


    “Um…” Monica was stunned. “You’re immune to poison?”


    “Yeah. I’ve been bathing in herbal concoctions ever since I was young. Small doses of poison wouldn’t affect me. I’ll

    have an upset stomach at most.”


    Francesca paused as her words settled in. “Oh, right. Why would I have an upset stomach if there’s nothing wrong


    with the milk?”


    “Could it be that the milk was poisoned?”


    Just then, Gordon spoke up.


    “Not necessarily.” Francesca analyzed, “I have stomach issues. Sometimes it’s because I haven’t eaten in a long


    while or I’ve overeaten. We can’t be entirely sure that it’s the milk.”


    “But there were no empty sses when I went in to get your medical kit.” Monica realized a critical point. “They


    wouldn’t have time to clean the room since you just woke up. The empty ss should still be there. Why is it gone?”


    “That is very suspicious,” said Gordon. “They must have gotten rid of it for fear that we might notice that something


    is off.”
