Chapter 46 Chapter 46 In the conference room , Lauren asked everyone else to leave , leaving only Andrew and Francesca behind .


    Lauren , did you know from the start that Paul was the culprit ? Francesca asked eagerly as soon as the room emptied .


    Lauren rolled her eyes and said , If I had known it was him , I wouldve just had him arrested instead of setting up these theatrics .


    Francesca eximed in surprise , So you didnt know who it was ? But you acted like you did ! Lauren smiled and exined , I didnt know , which was why Dr.


    Lloyd suggested this trick to force their hand .


    All I had to do was im one ss was poisoned , and Paul cracked under the pressure .


    Francesca stared at Andrew , shocked .


    I didnt expect you to be so cunning ! She was impressed by his ability to devise such a trick , which left the culprit with no choice but to surrender .


    Although we found out it was Paul , we still fell one step short , Andrew remarked .


    Laurens beautiful face hardened as she agreed , Indeed .


    That bastard Michael had already poisoned Paul beforehand .


    Even though I know hes behind this , I cant prove it ! I dont understand how Paul willingly took poison .


    Thats literally suicide ! Francesca wondered aloud .


    Andrew shook his head and exined , Paul didnt take it willingly .


    If he had been , he wouldnt have tried to expose Michael before he died .


    Michael must have secretly poisoned him earlier as insurance .


    Francesca shuddered and said , I never imagined Michael could be so ruthless .


    Lauren smiled , looking at the bright side .


    Either way , we forced him to show his true colors .


    Dr.


    Lloyd , youre truly my lucky star .


    You saved me time and time again ! Ms.


    Rhodes , you should be very careful of your cousin .


    If Im not mistaken , he likely has powerful backing , Andrew warned her ! Lauren was startled and asked , Dr.


    Lloyd , what have you noticed ? The poison that killed Paul is called Deaths Draught , and its rare and lethal .


    A mere yboy like Michael wouldnt have ess to something like that , so someone must be helping him , Andrew exined.


    Francesca chimed in , Hes right .


    Grandpa once mentioned that poison is a weapon of the underworld , not something an average person woulde by .


    Chapter 46 Laurens face turned cold as she uttered , If he wants to y dirty , then I wont show any mercy either .


    Meanwhile , in Micheals office .


    Michael was violently smashing everything in sight , his face contorted with rage .


    He was consumed by anger , roaring , That bastard ruined everything with one move ! I lost it all ! Pauls death did not bother him .


    He had nned to sacrifice that pawn anyway when Lauren started suspecting the executives .


    What infuriated him was how close he hade to being exposed .


    If he had not taken the risk of attacking Paul , he would probably be facing prison time right now .


    Lauren might be smart , but with my backers strategy , Im not worried about her , Michael muttered after his outburst .


    But now her pretty boy advisor is bing a real problem !  Chapter 47
