“Have you figured out who tried to poison my grand-daughter?” James was having a sit down with Leon at his office. He locked the door to ensure no one would walk inside during their conversation. Leon pulled out his case and handed over a folder that contained all the evidence, statements and recordings of what happened during that night.

“Yes, I found out who it is. Unfortunately, it may come up as a bad news to you.” He said with a rather disappointed expression, as if he was expecting someone else.

“It’s your step daughter, Jessica Howler. She hired one of the staff to put the poison in Julia’s glass of wine. The staff who delivered the glass finally admitted to it after I interrogated him.” For some strange reason, James wasn’t surprised by this revelation at all. Almost as if he was expecting it somehow.

“I see, so all of the evidence are here, yes?” He asked to reconfirm.
