My Second Husband novel Chapter 308

After a moment of silence, Eudora George said, "Aunt Kaylene, you seem very interested in the culprit."

Kaylene Yoder frowned and said, "What do you mean? Of course, I would want to know who had poisoned the Old Master. So tell me, who was it?"

Eudora thought that it was a little suspicious. Wasn't the poison part of their plan? Why did Kaylene look so clueless?

Seeing that she wasn't speaking, Bethany Hamilton spoke softly.

"Alright now, we shouldn't spread false rumors. We shouldn't rush to any conclusions unless the police confirm it."

Kaylene snorted and rolled her eyes, "There's no one else here. What's wrong with a little chat within the family?"

Eudora remembered their plan to bait Harry's entire family. Seeing the opportunity dangling in front of her, she seized the opportunity.

"It's fine, we're family anyway. This morning, the police did say that they found some evidence."

"What evidence?" Kaylene immediately pressed on.

Eudora pretended to think about it for a second, leaving Kaylene hanging. She only spoke when she saw that Kaylene was about to explode.

"Did I mention that a servant came looking for me that morning? Well, she disappeared right after. The police found a strand of hair in the trunk of the car that was used to send the Old Master to the hospital. They followed the evidence and found the servant. They arrested her this morning."

Kaylene's eyes widened with shock, "And? What did she say?"

Eudora shook her head, "How would I know? The police didn't tell me anything."

Kaylene looked unsettled, "Well, weren't you there this morning? How could you not know what had happened?"

Eudora smiled and said, "Aunt Kaylene, although I was there, the police didn't tell me anything."

"You..." Kaylene was so anxious that she was about to blurt something when Bethany stopped her.

"Alright now. Eudora's right, this is a matter for the police. Why are you getting so worried?"

Bethany continued, saying, "But I have to give it to her. She knew that we would use that exact car to sent the Old Master to the hospital. She knew exactly where to hide."

Eudora nodded and watched Kaylene.

Kaylene quickly voiced her agreement and said, "You're right. She's smart. I'm sure someone was giving her instructions. Perhaps it's that person who pointed us right to her."

As she said this, she glanced at Eudora, obviously insinuating that it was her.

Eudora was speechless. Somehow, things had turned a full circle and it made her look guilty instead.

Noting her silence, Kaylene became even more convinced.

"Why? Are you feeling guilty now? I've already said that you were the culprit since the very beginning."

Eudora didn't know what to say, "You're not going to believe anything I say anyway, so it's better for me to just keep quiet. I'll just wait for the police to prove my innocence."

Bethany nodded and said, "Eudora's right. She's confident that she's innocent. I believe you."

The two of them smiled at each other, but Kaylene seemed a little restless.

"Then... since the Old Master hasn't woken up yet, I'll take my leave now."

After that, she opened the door and walked out alone.

After she left, Bethany sighed, "Seems like she was desperate to escape. I guess that she must feel guilty."

Bethany then smiled, "Nonsense! I was just joking, Eudora. Please don't take it to heart."

Actually, Eudora agreed with Bethany; she did find Kaylene rather suspicious. After staying there and talking to the Old Master for a while longer, Eudora bid goodbye and left the hospital.

At the entrance, Kaylene called Harry as soon as she stepped out of the hospital.
