Room for You

Chapter 429

Chapter 429 The housekeeper, who was standing at the side, also came closer to look. She exclaimed, “When did the pills get so large? Even the marks don’t look like the pills Old Madam Presgrave usually takes.” “I don’t think these are heart pills either. I’ll have someone run a thorough analysis to determine its ingredients.” Elliot looked at the housekeeper. “Jodie, what’s going on?” “I don’t know either, Young Master Elliot. The pills I gave Old Madam Presgrave yesterday were still the normal size, but how did they turn bigger today?” The housekeeper also had no idea what was going on. “Someone probably swapped the contents.” With that, the doctor took another bottle and poured the pills onto a piece of paper to examine them. “These are sleeping pills, but there’s something wrong with them too. Even though they look more or less alike, these pills contain 6 times the contents of the pills I usually prescribe to Old Madam Presgrave. If she takes these pills, her life would be at risk.” Elliot’s expression changed. It was obvious that someone had swapped his grandma’s pills, but who would do such a vicious thing? The housekeeper was also shocked to the core. “Oh my goodness! Who’s trying to kill her? How dare they meddle with her usual medication!” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

“You’d better find out as soon as possible.” The doctor looked at Elliot. “Young Master Elliot, with Old Madam Presgrave’s age, her medications must not have the slightest bit of error.” Rage was already obvious on Elliot’s face, and there was a cold murderous look in his eyes. Who dared to meddle with his grandma’s medication? No matter who it was, when the culprit was uncovered, he would make them pay dearly. “Fortunately, she has quite a strong resistance to medicine, and it caused such a reaction. This is how we were able to determine early on that someone had meddled with her medication.” “Young Master Elliot, I really can’t figure out who would do such a thing. All the servants in the Presgrave Residence love and respect Old Madam Presgrave. She’s usually very caring toward us, and we are all

grateful to her. Who would plot against her?” “When did you think the pills were swapped? Were the pills normal yesterday?” The housekeeper nodded. “Yes, the pills were still normal yesterday, and they were fine this morning. The pills only seemed different this afternoon.” The housekeeper was only a little more than 40 years old. She had no problems with her eyesight, and her memory was quite decent as well. If none of the servants in the Presgrave Residence would do such a thing, then someone outside of the house might have done it. Even though many relatives and friends visited today, they were all people the Pregraves were on good terms with. “Could it be Miss Seymour? She might hate you for not letting her dine in the main hall, and that may be why she plotted against Old Madam Presgrave,” the housekeeper reminded. A cold light instantly gleamed in Elliot’s eyes. Indeed, Hayley was the most probable culprit. “I asked you to send people to keep an eye on her, didn’t I?” “It was lunch time, and we were short staffed. I only sent one person to watch her, but she probably couldn’t be tracked throughout the entire process. She must have found an opportunity to slip into the medicine room.” “The CCTV! Young Master Elliot, we have CCTV in the medicine room.” The housekeeper suddenly remembered. A cat had sneaked into the medicine room last time, but she thought that a new servant had broken something instead. In the end, when they found out the truth, Harriet even scolded her for it, so she installed CCTV in the medicine room after that. “In order to keep better watch over the medicine room, I installed the CCTV there of my own accord. I feared that something was wrong with the medicine.” With that, the housekeeper took out her phone. The CCTV was linked to an app on her phone. “Show me the recording,” Elliot ordered through gritted teeth. He was already extremely furious at this point. The housekeeper navigated the app and found the folder where the recordings were stored. They were saved in chunks, so she had to look through the recordings chronologically. Soon, she

found the time when Hayley entered the room. Then, Elliot took her phone and sat on a couch nearby, playing the video in fast forward. Finally, sounds could be heard in the quiet medicine room at 12.45PM. It was the sound of a door opening. Immediately after that, a figure walked in. Who else could it be but Hayley? She looked around her for a while, then got to work swapping the contents of the medicine bottles. Her evil act was caught right on camera.
