His Versatile Gorgeous Wife novel Chapter 617

Vinson smiled and shook his head. “You've really underestimated Michael. Although I did call him, he made himself clear on the phone that he would not accept such dirty money. I was afraid that if I went inside, Henrick would suspect that I bribed Michael. So I decided to wait outside.”

Arielle looked at the sun and said, “You should've come in. It's scorching now. You will get a heat stroke.”

Vinson raised his eyebrows. “Can I take your words as a concern about me?”

Arielle's back stiffened, but she made herself look as natural as possible and said lightly, “Of course, we're friends! You're also my backer! Who else should I care about if not you?”

The light in Vinson's eyes vanished, but he put on a smile shortly after. “Sure! Your backer can't collapse. I have to take good care of you.”

Suddenly, Arielle remembered that she had something to deal with. “Backer, I need your help.”

“Say it! Even if you want the stars in the sky, I will get them for you,” said Vinson.

Arielle blushed unconsciously. She glared at Vinson and said, “Can you be more serious? I mean business here!”

“What can I do for you?” said Vinson again in a serious tone this time.

“This.” Arielle took out a transparent plastic bag from her pocket, and it was filled with something dark inside.

“What is this?” Vinson took it over and asked

curiously.

Arielle frowned and said, “This is the herb that Matthias let Cindy drink every day when she was hospitalized. I used my relationship with Carter to ask the nurse to help me to get the herb residue and the cup. However, Matthias was very cautious, and he would take away the residue and the cup every time. Luckily, both of them forgot about this on the day when Cindy was discharged. I went to the hospital before I came home just to get this.”

“Cindy was not really sick that time. It was impossible that she needed herbal remedies. Can't you tell what herb this is?”

Arielle shook her head. “I've never seen this before. But I believe this is most probably from Manchernius. Besides, my people also found out that Matthias went to Manchernius a few weeks ago. So, can you help me to find out what herb is this? There are too many poisons in Manchernius, and my people are not familiar with these. I don't want to get my adoptive parents involved too. So... I have no choice but to ask for your help.”
