It was very quiet at the dining table. Theodore wasn't usually a talkative person. He ate slowly, without saying a word. Since childhood, he had been taught to always be quiet by his family.
However, because Everleigh had lost her mom very early on, the relatives and elders in her family were particularly tolerant of her, so she developed a free and unrestrained personality. What she couldn't stand the most was a dull atmosphere.
Thinking about the things that happened when she woke up there, she asked Theodore about it. "How did I end up sleeping here last night?"
Theodore replied, "You don't remember?"
Everleigh shook her head and said with hesitation, "I didn't drink any alcohol."
"Then what's the last thing you remember?"
"Last thing I remember?"
Everleigh thought about it carefully and said, "I remember that I sent a waitress to the lounge. She sprained her ankle and then I sat with her for a while. Later..."
After that, she felt as if she had fallen asleep. Then, she could not recall what had happened after that at all.
Theodore was deep in thought. His cool and calm expression darkened slightly and his brows furrowed.
Everleigh asked carefully, "So... What's going on?"
"Nothing, don't you remember? You fell asleep."
"Is that so?" Everleigh looked at Theodore suspiciously. She felt that something wasn't quite right.
If she had really only fallen asleep, she wouldn't have been this deep asleep.
She wanted to ask more, but Theodore's phone suddenly rang. Hence, she had no choice but to swallow her words. Since Cecil was there the previous night, Everleigh had to ask her why she left her there alone.
Theodore went to the living room to answer the call; he deliberately walked a little further away.
"Hello?"
"Mr. Godfrey," Moses' voice came from the other end of the line. "Last night's surveillance footage was destroyed by someone. We can't find out who took Dr. Trevino and Mr. Allen to the room, but we can confirm that Mr. Allen was indeed drugged. The initial results of the blood test have come out."
"What is it?"
"It's a kind of knockout powder, which is very common on the black market. Generally speaking, after taking it, one will be unconscious for a long time. Mr. Allen had a small dosage, so he woke up early. As for Dr. Trevino... She didn't have a blood test, so we don't know how much she had taken."
Upon hearing this, Theodore looked in the direction of the dining hall.
Through the glass door, he could see Everleigh's back. She was eating intently, completely unaware of what had happened the night before.
Thinking back to how she hadn't woken up the whole night, Theodore said, "There's no need for blood tests anymore. She had probably taken quite a bit of it. Are there any side effects?"
"I don't think so."
"Then that's fine. Is it confirmed that the surveillance footage can't be recovered?"
Moses' tone was very cautious. "The camera was broken, so it couldn't record anything.
Thus, nothing can be recovered."
Theodore's brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes turned cold. "Check out the names of all the participants from last night, especially the waitresses."
The other party was stunned for a moment. "All of them?"
For the sake of Helen's health, only the relatives of the Godfrey family were invited to the banquet. However, there were so many people in the family, and if they included the waiters and waitresses, then it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
