Even in her wildest dreams, Janet had never expected to find out that Elissa was so cruel and
merciless.
“So according to you, Elissa is the one responsible for poisoning me? But what motive did she have to
do that? I barely know that woman at all. Killing me wouldn’t benefit her in any way.” Janet was wholly
taken aback by what she had been told. At the same time, however, she felt that it would be highly
unusual for Elissa to have any desire to poison her.
All it would have done was expose her, which, in all honesty, was somewhat stupid in the grand
scheme of things.
Ethan said with absolute certainty, “I think that I must have been her prime target. Perhaps you became
the victim purely by accident.”
In the past, Elissa had tried to murder him on numerous occasions. However, she was yet to succeed.
She probably just wanted to take another shot at it now.
However, he was no longer the Ethan he used to be.
After that, Ethan took Janet to the hospital for two more thorough check-ups. They didn’t leave until
Ethan was absolutely certain and convinced that she was fine.
Janet sat in the car, watching the passing scenery flash by, when she asked, “Ethan, do you remember
we went to a Michelin star restaurant for dinner a few days ago? We haven’t had a chance to have
dinner together lately, except for that night. Do you think that was when I was poisoned? She wanted to
poison you. I could have eaten the food that was originally meant for you by mistake, so I inadvertently
became victim.”
The Michelin star restaurant left a long-lasting and deep impression on Janet. It had an amazing
ambience, delicately balanced cuisine and delicious wine.
When Ethan heard her words, the restaurant also popped into his mind.
Recently, Janet had become very busy with her work, so they seldom spent time together. During that
time, Sean was the person who was responsible for bringing Ethan his food to his office. Sean was his
right-hand man so he was certain that the safety and quality of the food he brought him was
guaranteed. If anyone did want to poison Ethan, they would have to take the chance while he was out
eating at a restaurant.
Last time Ethan ate out, he had dined with Janet at that three star Michelin restaurant.
“True. It must have happened at the restaurant,” he conceded after some thought. His sixth sense told
him that something was amiss. He immediately instructed the driver, “Take us straight to Iris.”
*******
Outside the Iris restaurant, Janet got out of the car and saw the ‘closed’ sign on the door of the
restaurant. She had an even more peculiar feeling about the place. “I passed by here yesterday and it
was still open. Why did they suddenly close for no reason?”
Ethan snorted and called the security of the Larson Group.
After a while, three minibuses arrived at the door of the restaurant. More than a dozen bodyguards got
out of the minibuses and waited for Ethan’s order.
“Break down the door.” Ethan then took Janet back into the car and waited leisurely.
The restaurant was now closed. This was a clear indication that something was indeed wrong.
A dozen of bodyguards smashed the door of the restaurant in a few minutes, and then found the
restaurant manager.
One of the bodyguards grabbed the manager by the collar and dragged him to Ethan. The startled
manager asked in a trembling voice, “Sir, what can I do for you? Let’s be civil and talk it out, shall we?”
Ethan didn’t like people playing dumb with him. He raised his chin slightly and said, “Get all your
waiters here.”
Ethan remembered the waiter who brought them the complimentary drinks that day.
The manager didn’t dare to refuse his request, so he summoned all the employees to the front.
Ethan soon recognized two familiar faces among the crowd. He made a beckoning gesture with his
finger, and the bodyguards immediately understood his command. They directly took the two waiters
away.
In less than a day, the two waiters fessed up. They had received a woman’s money and put something
in Ethan’s glass that day.
