Chapter 516
What had happened all of a sudden made everyone on the dining table look over the servant at the
same time.
Charlie''s gaze swept over the bowl and the spilled soup on the floor. Then, he fixed his eyes on the
face of the servant, who was lying near him. Not only was her face as pale as dying embers, but
there was also arge bead of sweat rolling down from her temple. It was a reaction that only
appeared in a state of extreme nervousness.
Charlie narrowed his eyes suddenly and asked in a deep and nonchnt voice, "What''s in the
soup?"
When the servants heard this, she was even more flustered than before. She shook her head and
tried to disentangle herself from the matter. "It''s none of my business. Miss Tilly has ordered me to
do so!"
Tilly became furious when she heard the servant''s words. She had been betrayed.
Charlie turned his face directly to Tilly and asked again, "What''s in this soup!"
Tilly was a little scared by his merciless gaze, just as she was thest time while they were in the
hotel. She hadn''t expected that the servant could not even do such a little thing. It was just adding
"something" into the soup and coaxing Wendy into drinking it. But the servant''s nervousness ruined
everything.
Tilly curled her lips up and muttered, "What else could it be? It''s justxative..."
"Rat poison!"
The servant was keeping her head down. She thought that Charlie was asking her the same
question, so she dared not hide anything.
Rat poison?
Everyone on the table was extremely shocked when they heard this.
Wendy looked at the bowl and spilled soup on the ground in disbelief. Thinking that she had almost
drunk it, she suddenly felt very scared and broke out in a cold sweat on her palms.
In the face of everyone''s shocked eye expressions, Tilly felt very puzzled. She looked at the servant
and asked, "What are you talking about?"
With a sullen face, Eduardo raised his hand and ordered the butler toe in. He asked the butler
to gather up the spilled soup on the floor and examine it.
A few minutester, the butler returned and hesitantly reported, "Old Master, the soup was indeed
added with rat poison..."
Almost at the same time, the sound of people gasping could be heard.
Among so many shocked and angry eye expressions, no one had noticed that Madge''s expression
was a little pitiful.
"What?" Tilly''s eyes were wide open, as if she had also been greatly shocked.
The servant immediately cried and said, "I''m sorry, Old Master. I did it ording to Miss Tilly''s
instructions. I didn''t want to do it. But I''m just a servant. I couldn''t refuse her. She gave me the
poison and asked me to add it to the soup..."
Tilly pointed at the servant, and her fingers were shaking with anger. "I had personally given it to
you. How can I not know what is it? You did a bad job, and what''s worse, now you''re framing me!"
"That''s enough!" Eduardo knocked on the ground heavily with his crutch.
When Tilly saw that the old man was really angry, her eyes turned red with anxiety. She soon burst
into tears and pleaded, "Grandpa, please listen to my exnation. I just wanted to vent out my
anger, but I hadn''t expected..."
"What else do you have to say now? You just admitted that you had ordered her to do it. I thought
you knew you were wrong, but I had never expected you to be so vicious! It seems that you have
been spoiled by Jazmin over the years!" Eduardo shook his head in disappointment.
"Grandpa, don''t be so angry. Take care of yourself! Tilly is still young and doesn''t know how to
behave properly. It''s quite normal for her to make a mistake like this. Fortunately, nothing bad has
happened now!" Madge stood up and brought over a ss of water to the old master. She leaned
over and caressed his chest while looking at her cousin, "Tilly, Grandpa is very angry about you.
You should apologize to everyone here!"
"No!" Tilly had a stubborn look on her face. She was unwilling to admit to anything that she had not
done.
Kim also felt sad and disappointed with his niece.
"Emily, you''ve really gone too far!"
"Uncle, I..." Tilly was choked with sobs. She did not know how to excuse herself of this ident. At
this moment, no one on the table would believe her words.
Charlie''s eyes were as dark as the thunderclouds in June. He said only three words in a cold voice,
"Call the police."
Tilly actually intended to use rat poison against Wendy. This was not just a prank. It was a very
serious offense.
"Call the police?" Eduardo''s voice was slightly trembling, and Kim, who was sitting beside his father,
also frowned. After the father and son looked at each other, Eduardo said cautiously, "This...After
all, we are all family members. Let''s just not call the police first. Fortunately, Wendy did not drink the
bowl of soup; otherwise she would have been sent to the hospital now! Tilly is still young, I have to
admit that what she did is a bit silly. But I believe that she will finally realize that she had done is
wrong. Let''s spare her this time, okay?"
No matter what had happened, Tilly was also a member of the Gray family.
Although such a despicable thing really made others angry about Tilly, it was still unreasonable to
call the police to arrest Tilly. It would be better to solve it in private at home. Jazmin Gray''s husband
died unfortunately when she was still young, and she hadn''t married for so many years. Her only
hope was Tilly, her daughter. If something so bad happened to Tilly, it would be a very heavy blow to
Jazmin.
Charlie''s facial expression was still cold and indifferent. He said nothing.
Eduardo noticed that Charlie was still unwilling to forgive Tilly, so he turned to Wendy for help.
After noticing the eye expressions from the old master and her father, Kim, Wendy realized that she
must say something to persuade Charlie, who was nning how to punish Tilly for her. After
weighing the pros and cons many times, Wendy tugged at Charlie''s sleeve. She did not want to let
her father and grandfather down.
Charlie ced his palm on hers, and nodded his head in the end.
Eduardo breathed a sigh of relief and then red at his granddaughter. He said sternly, "I''ll call your
mom tomorrow, and tell her to bring you back to Ennd."
Tilly bit her lips tightly. She was angry and felt wronged, shameful, as everyone was ming her
with angry eye expressions. She stamped her feet, turned around, and ran out of the restaurant in
despair.
When Madge saw this, she was worried and said, "Grandpa, I''ll go after her!"
"You don''t need to worry about her!" Eduardo said angrily.
After the appalling ident, Charlie, Wendy, and Larry were ready to leave the Gray family.
Just as Wendy opened the car door and was about to get in the car, she heard footsteps behind her
all of a sudden, and somebody was calling out her name.

"Wendy!"
Wendy turned around and saw Tilly, who was supposed to have run away from the vi.
Thinking of what Tilly had done to her, Wendy took two steps back vigntly. Charlie also had
stridden around the head of the car, and stood by her side, protecting her with a gloomy look on his
face.
Wendy frowned and lost her temper. "Tilly, what are you trying to do here?"
Tilly did not look at Charlie at all, as if this man did not exist. She just stared at Wendy and said, "If I
say that I had no intention of hurting you with the rat poison, will you believe me?"
"..." Wendy pursed her lips.
Seeing that Wendy did not give any positive response, Tilly gritted her teeth and said stubbornly,
"Forget about it! I don''t care whether you believe it or not!"
After that, she turned around and quickly ran away again.
"Don''t worry about her." Charlie turned around and put his hand on Wendy''s shoulder. As Tilly had
left, he was not as vignt as before.
Wendy nodded. When she got in the car, she could not help but look back. She did not know why,
but she suddenly felt that maybe she should trust Tilly.
