Chapter 1189 Antidote in the Cup of Tea
If she hadn''t been in a normal state, today''s matter would never have passed.
On the other side, Veronica and Matthew sat in the car that drove down the mountain.
She handed a wet cloth to Matthew. "Matt, please find a way to test theposition of the water on
this cloth."
"What''s wrong?" Matthew''s face turned slightly cold as if he realized something.
Veronica leaned against the passenger seat with her eyes closed. Even so, she still felt a lingering fear.
"Both Liam and I were set up. There''s something wrong with that alcohol."
Screech!
Just as she finished speaking, Matthew mmed on the brakes to a stop.
"You were also affected?"
The man''s face turned cold as a chill surged to his eyebrows.
"Liam drank four-fifths of that bottle of wine, and the drug was too strong, which is why he lost control. I
didn''t drink much, so it didn''t affect me much. I felt very ufortable, hot, and thirsty in the pce
room. At that time, a servant brought me a cup of tea. I was parched, so I drank it and felt much better
afterward. Not long after, the effects of the drugpletely wore off."
Veronica told Matthew everything that happened in the pce. The information revealed in her words
made Matthew keenly capture something.
He lowered his gaze and pondered momentarily before asking, "Are you suspecting that there was an
antidote in that cup of tea?"
"The bonfire banquet was set up by Liam, and the location was chosen near the pce. Once anything
happens, the pce cannot shirk its responsibility. This was probably not Liam''s doing, nor was it done
by anyone from the pce. The only suspect is... her."
"You mean Tiffany?"
"Yes."
"If it was her, then today''s events are even more perplexing." Matthew tightened his grip on Veronica''s
hand, his thumb stroking the back of her hand as he looked ahead. "After being taken into the pce,
everyone was locked in their rooms. Tiffany wouldn''t have had time to give you the antidote. So, the
only people who could have provided you with the antidote were the Ledger siblings. Excluding the
injured Liam, only Dominik and Eleanor could have gotten their hands on the antidote."
Although Eleanor was with him during that time, she had touched her phone, and there was no
guarantee that she wouldn''t use it tomunicate with others and give instructions.
"The problem lies here."
Veronica''s face grew cold. "They gave me the antidote, which shows that they have already figured out
the problem. In that case, why did they still lie to everyone and conceal the truth for Tiffany?"

"She has taken refuge with the Ledgers." Matthew spoke the words that Veronica had in mind.
The Ledgers couldn''t possibly fail to uncover the truth behind the scenes. However, the fact that they
were covering it up instead of punishing Tiffany when they already knew it was Tiffany who drugged
Veronica already indicated collusion between the two parties.
"In the future, remember to tell me immediately when you encounter such a situation."
Matthew cocked his head and patted her head with his hand, "With me here, you don''t have to bear
everything alone."
"I''ll do that next time."
Veronica shook her head and replied softly.
She didn''t tell Matthew because she didn''t want him to worry.
"Eleanor already knows my true identity, so be careful around her."
"What? She knows?" Veronica suddenly sat up straight, her voice raising a few decibels, "What
happened?"
"A small oversight. Our people overlooked her hobbies when investigating her. We didn''t know that she
was skilled in disguise. She easily saw through my disguise and guessed my identity."
"If she already knows your identity, why didn''t she reveal it just now? Why did she hide it for you
instead?"
Eleanor''s behavior was so mysterious that Veronica couldn''t figure her out.
