Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1472

The doctor was also in a dilemma. Zorion looked at both Raeleigh and Jepherson. Both of them looked pale and had to be taken to the intensive care unit.

"Go ahead and send them to the ICU," instructed Zorion. The doctor asked, "Mr. Jepherson is still holding Miss Anson's hand. Should we put them in a separate room or the same room?"

"What do you think?" Zorion's face darkened. The doctor immediately said, "I know what to do."

Raeleigh and Jepherson were then transferred to the ICU. There was nothing Xanthus could say at this time, so he quietly followed them.

After taking care of Raeleigh and Jepherson's hospital arrangements, Zorion left some of his men there and decided to head back to the restaurant. He knew he had to investigate who poisoned Raeleigh's food.

The restaurant was owned by the Richards family themselves. Zorion suspected that this incident was most likely an inside job. If he was unable to find the culprit, then this restaurant would have to cease operations.

When Zorion arrived, Santiago was sitting in one of the restaurant's private rooms while he dealt with the restaurant's affairs. He had received a call from one of his men informing him that Jepherson's operation was successful, but he still hadn't regained consciousness.

There were about a dozen people in the private room. Among them were three of the restaurant's managers, two front desk managers, and five waiters. One of the chefs had run away while Santiago hadn't looked for the others yet. They were in imminent danger anyway.

As soon as Zorion arrived at the door, he heard someone explaining, "Mr. Santiago, please spare us. We weren't aware that their food was poisoned. We do not know who did it."

"Then all of you deserve to die! I want each of you to take a sip of the soup. If you finish the soup, then this matter is over. If I have to force you to drink it, then I'm not going to go easy on you."

Santiago faked a smile. The manager who was on his knees turned around to look at the bowl of soup that was on the table, sobbing.

"Mr. Santiago, I swear we don't know anything about this. We would never dare to poison anyone!" The manager said as tears rolled down his cheeks. Santiago was in an extremely bad mood. He was capable of doing anything at this point. The manager was aware that Santiago was capable of killing them and feeding their remains to his dogs.

However, the manager did not want to die. He did not want to leave his family behind.

Zorion stood at the door and listened for a while before entering the private room. When Santiago heard the sound of the door opening, he briefly looked at Zorion. He was unhappy and in a bad mood.

Zorion sat down and took out his gloves as he watched the scene unfold in front of him.

Rossie really did not like watching people being tortured. It reminded her of the time when Zorion went to her house and forced her to marry him.

Rossie entered the room and stood by Zorion's side. Zorion was feeling a little hot, so he loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top few buttons on his shirt.

Zorion remained seated and did not say a word. However, some of the people recognised him. "Is that Zorion?"

Zorion slowly looked up and glared at the person outside the door. Fear suddenly surged through them.

Rossie glanced at Zorion and realised that he evoked fear in everyone.

It was as if Santiago didn't see Zorion. He continued asking the manager who was kneeling on the ground, "If you don't want to drink the soup, then you ought to tell me everything! I want to know where he lives, who he is and his name. Does he have any family? How much did he pay you to put poison in the soup?"

"Mr. Santiago, I really don't know." The manager tried his best to convince Santiago.

Santiago chuckled. "It seems like you're not going to give up until you are consigned to the grave."

"Mr. Santiago, I swear, I have no idea who did it!" The manager continued to beg. Santiago picked up the bowl of soup and glanced at Jacky's men. The two of them walked over to the manager and they grabbed each of his arms.

"Mr. Santiago, please have mercy! I really don't know who did it...."
