Chapter 577 Killing Two Birds With A Stone


    Genevieve was handcuffed and brought back to the police station.


    As she sat in the interrogation room, the harsh white light of the room shone down on her, and she felt


    lightheaded.


    What does Mrs. Hossler''s poisoning have anything to do with me?


    Then, the interrogator took out a small bag that was the size of a fingernail. The bag contained white


    powder and was ced on the table. He imed that the bag of white powder—potassium cyanide,


    was found in the coat that Genevieve had left at the golf course.


    Potassium cyanide was extremely toxic and lethal in minute doses.


    Genevieve found the incriminating evidence amusing. “I''m not dumb. If I truly wanted to kill Mrs.


    Hossler, why would I leave this inside my coat?”


    “The most dangerous ces are oftentimes the safest,” the interrogator said. “There is not a single


    corner in the golf course that is without surveince cameras. So, you have nowhere else to dispose of


    the potassium cyanide and could only ce it back inside your coat, thinking you''d find a chance to get


    rid of it afterward. Then, you followed the ambnce to the hospital in a rush without taking your coat

    with you.”


    There were surveince cameras all around the golf course, and the cup of coffee that she poured for


    Pa happened to contain potassium cyanide.


    The police imed that the surveince camera footage showed that she had poisoned Pa''s coffee.


    Genevieve could not prove her innocence as the police imed that the footage was enough evidence


    to incriminate her. However, she knew that she was not the one who poisoned Pa.


    Someone was trying to kill two birds with one stone—killing Pa and incriminating her at the same


    time.


    Soon, the news of Pa being rushed to the emergency room for poisoning spread like wildfire on the


    inte. Someone had witnessed Genevieve being taken away by the police and spected that it was


    her that poisoned Pa.


    There were initially not many discussions on the news. However, someone mentioned that Cooper was


    Genevieve''s brother and implied that Cooper would cover up the news soon enough.


    Ironically, that had made it one of the trending topics on multiple websites. Some people were even


    making sardonicments like Marlon from Exuberance Group would be heartless if he chose to


    make amends with Cooper.


    The share price of Specter Corporation had been fluctuating as a result.


    After Herbert came out of the golf course, he went back straight to the hotel as he waited for Sylvie so


    that they could have dinner together.


    He only knew about the news on Pa''s poisoning after his driver told him about it. Thetter had seen


    it from the news.


    Nheless, Herbert did not believe that Genevieve had poisoned Pa. “She''s not the kind of person


    who would poison others. If she didce the coffee with poison in front of everyone else, why would


    she help me pick up medicine that time at the airport?”


    “The surveince cameras had captured the footage,” the driver said. “Mrs. Hossler was only poisoned


    after she drank the coffee that was poured by Genevieve. The potassium cyanide was even found in


    her coat.”


    “Who would be so dumb to keep the remaining poison aftermitting the crime?” Herbert retorted.


    For unbeknownst reason, Herbert believed that Genevieve was a kind-hearted woman and that she


    would never do such a thing.


    Just when he was about to order his driver to ask the police to be thorough with the investigation and


    go easy on Genevieve, Sylvie arrived home right then.


    Sylvie ran toward Herbert as soon as she came back and asked thetter in a surprised tone,


    “Granddad, I heard from the news saying that Mrs. Hossler has been poisoned and rushed to the


    emergency room. What happened?”


    “I''m not too sure either. It happened after I left,” Herbert replied.


    “I heard it was Genevieve who poisoned her, and there was incriminating evidence as well. She''s


    currently being interrogated at the police station,” Sylvie said as she sat down next to the old man.


    Herbert nodded. “Yeah.”


    “Granddad, aren''t you close with the chief of Jadeborough police station, Mr. Forger?” Sylvie asked as


    she circled her hands around her grandfather''s arm affectionately. “I hope that you could urge Mr.


    Forger to investigate the case impartially. Poisoning someone to their death is a crime that is


    punishable by death, and Genevieve should rightfully be convicted so. Don''t let her get away with it


    through Cooper''s influences. This is not going to be fair to Mrs. Hossler.”


    Herbert shot a sharp look at Sylvie and said, “Sylvie, what did I tell you? Even if Genevieve has killed


    someone, the police will surely be able to uphold justice for the victim. Are you telling me to urge Mr.


    Forger to hasten Genevieve''s conviction in the case, just so she could be imprisoned as soon as


    possible? She is a smart girl, and she''ll never attempt to murder someone right under everyone''s


    noses.”


    “Granddad, she was the one who pped me and hit me in the head. How could you side with her?”


    Sylvie gave her grandfather a woeful look.


    Herbert felt his heart wrench at the sight of his granddaughter''s pitiful look. “I''m not trying to side with


    her. I''m just stating the truth.”


    “She dares to do so because she thinks she can get away with anything because Cooper is her


    brother, just like when she used to bully me... I had no rtives, no backup, no one to turn to. So, she


    thought me an easy target and pped me across my face.”


    Sylvie then broke into a sob. “So, yes. I admit that I do not want to see Cooper helping Genevieve get


    away with this. I want to see her behind the bars. Isn''t it only natural that I want her to suffer after what


    she''s done to me?”
