"Mr. Soo, we really have no idea what's going on. Gianna has been in charge of the wine for Mr. Ye all this while. Here are the records. Also, Gianna gave the wine to Mr. Ye today and he should remember about it."
Nathaniel nodded slightly at the lobby manager's words.
"Yes. There is a girl with a round face who has been keeping my wine for all this while. I remember that she's a university student, and she ain’t doing very well with her life. I saw her being an honest girl, so I assigned her to in charge of my wine and I paid her 1000 dollars per month."
Nathaniel had a vivid impression of Gianna.
Upon hearing the words from the lobby manager, Nathaniel decided to spit out her experience with Gianna.
"If so, how could she poisoned you through the wine?"
"What? Poison?"
The lobby manager was frightened by Noah's words that he rolled his eyes before fainting.
When Noah saw him in that condition, he snorted coldly before saying, "Don't ever think that you can escape by fainting. Wake him up and find someone to the hospital along with me for an examination. If the wine is the cause of the issue, Celestial Clubhouse shall give a proper explanation to Mr. Ye and me!"
Noah had seen such cases so many times. How could he be fooled by the lobby manager's little tactic?
After all, someone needed to bear this responsibility.
It was not convenient for Nathaniel and Noah to search around, so Celestial Clubhouse must found Gianna regardless of anything.
The waiter quickly pinched the lobby manager’ s philtrum to wake him up. Then, the manager was informed of Noah's words.
The manager felt like weeping hard upon the statement.
"Mr. Soo and Mr. Ye, we are innocent!"
"I don't care about it. I'll find the evidence to prove it. Take this waiter along and come with us!"
Noah held Nathaniel to get up.
Nathaniel felt that his limbs were weak and he couldn't control his body.
Nathaniel couldn't adapt to such an uncomfortable feeling.
He used to be strong, but this sudden weakness annoyed Nathaniel so much that he needed support from Noah to get up.
"What the hell happened to me?"
Nathaniel asked Noah with a voice that only both of them could hear it.
Noah shook his head and he said, "It's not the right time to talk and I'm not sure about it yet. Let’s go to the hospital for an examination. About Gianna, do you know anything else besides her identity as a university student?"
"Why do I need to investigate her as I don’t have any intention towards her? Besides, Giana is very shy and she rarely talks. She's capable of her job and hardworking. Such information is enough for me and I don’t intend to dig in for more."
Nathaniel felt that his mouth was dry and he was in a trance.
"Do you want some water?"
Noah asked him softly.
"I don't want to, but I can't say a sense of relief in my heart. It's like I'm setting myself free."
Nathaniel's words made Noah's face hardened.
"You can sleep when you get in the car later. Don't worry about anything else. Just leave it to me."
Nathaniel grabbed Noah's hand and he said, "Don't mention to my wife that something has happened to me if she calls, do you understand?"
"Aren't you at odds with your wife? Will she still call you? Don’t worry, I know how to deal with it."
Noah's word reassured Nathaniel.
Both of them got into the car and they took a bottle of red wine before heading to the military hospital along with the waiters from the club.
Noah took the red wine to the laboratory and he drew Nathaniel’s blood as well. Then, Noah arranged for him to stay in the VIP ward to avoid contact with the others.
Since Noah's wife was the director of the hospital, so these things were done secretly.
Nathaniel had been sleeping since he got into the car. He acted weirdly and Nathaniel had no idea what he dreamt about, but it was a good dream anyway.
He smiled like a fool.
Seeing him in such condition, Noah had to tie him to the bed and he locked the door.
The waiters didn't know what had happened to Nathaniel. Hence, they were panicked after witnessing such a situation.
"Mr. Soo, it's really not our fault! We don't know anything!"
Noah looked at him as he evaluated the authenticity of his words. He then said lightly, "Let's discuss it once we have the lab results."
He entered the lab quickly.
Although those people working in the lab were Noah's confidants, he still chased them out of the lab, leaving only him and his wife behind.
"What's the matter? Why are you so serious? The colleagues in the hospital are from our military area. What are you afraid of?"
Noah's wife was Genevieve Bay. Upon hearing Genevieve's words, Noah said in a low voice, "Do a test on this bottle of red wine. I'll observe the report on the content in Nathaniel's blood and we will discuss it later."
Seeing how serious her husband was, Genevieve became nervous as well.
Both of them immersed themselves in work very quickly.
Not long after, Bai Lili's brows furrowed in an instant.
"Noah, there is..."
"Hush!"
