“Susie, I think we have to ask Chessie about this to clear the doubts.” Julian has made the decision.
Susan bit her lower lip and agreed. “Fine, but I have to be the one that asks Chessie!”
She was worried that Chessie would be frightened if someone else asked in an inappropriate tone.
“Alright.” Julian agreed with an apologetic gaze as he looked at Susan
He never doubted Susan’s personality, and he was certain she would not drug anyone. However, Madam Shaw insisted that Susan was the one, so he was left with no option but to prove her innocence to his mother.
After a while, Chessie was brought from the kindergarten. Julian’s assistant left and closed the door quietly after sending Chessie to the ward.
Chesney entered the room with her school bag and asked worriedly, “Daddy, mummy! Why are you here in the hospital? Is anyone sick?”
She saw Madam Shaw on the bed when she just came in.
“Oh dear, is granny sick?” Chesney walked to Madam Shaw’s bedside and asked, “Are you hurt, granny? Let me massage you, alright?”
Chessie stretched her little hands and was ready to massage Madam Shaw as she proposed.
“Go away.” Madam Shaw pushed Chessie’s hands away, glaring at her.
Chessie almost tripped as she was not ready for the shock.
“Chessie!” Susan was shocked and hurriedly caught Chessie from the back.
She embraced Chessie, fixed her eyes on Madam Shaw, and said in an upset manner, “What are you doing, mom? Chessie is just a child!”
Madam Shaw chuckled again. “Oh, a child who drugs others! Chessie has been ruined since the beginning because of you!”
Madam Shaw gave a cold gaze, and Susan’s body trembled due to anger.
She had only one principle all the while.
She was willing to compromise and adjust her baseline for Julian.
However, there was no room for negotiation when it came to Chessie.
Chessie was a precious child, and she would never let her experience unfairness.
“It’s okay, mummy. It’s normal if granny is not having a good mood because she is unwell. Chessie is not injured. Calm down, mummy.” Chesney gently planted a kiss on Susan’s cheek. She was indeed such a lovely sweet girl.
Helplessly, Julian almost melted by her adorable response. Chessie was not spoiled despite the fact that she had been well pampered since birth as the only child between Susan and himself. She was always a lovely and thoughtful girl.
He would definitely not be convinced if Chessie was accused of intentionally drugging anyone.
“Haha.” Madam Shaw chuckled again. “Both of them are b*tches who expertize in pretending. Like mother, like daughter.”
“Enough, mom!” Julian stared at Madam Shaw in shock. It was too much for him.
“Did I say something wrong?” Madam Shaw continued with anger. “Please, need I remind you that I almost died thanks to these two b*tches?”
“What is granny talking about, mummy?” Chesney could not understand and was frightened as she saw the mad Madam Shaw.
“It’s okay.” Susan tried her best to comfort Chessie and gently asked again, “Would you tell me what made you think about adding sugar into the soup, Chessie? Who was the one to give you the sugar?”
“Miss Lincoln said that the soup would taste nicer after adding sugar. Chessie told Miss Lincoln that granny didn’t like the soup, so she specially got a packet of sugar for me and said it would be better after adding it into the soup.” Chesney looked at Susan cluelessly. “Did the soup still taste that bad? Is this why granny is upset about it? But it’s bad for the teeth, though.”
Chesney was still clueless. Suddenly, Julian and Susan mentioned the name together, “Miss Lincoln?”
“Yeah, you have met her before. Miss Lincoln is my art teacher.” Chesney remained looking at them cluelessly.
Julian’s facial expression changed instantly. He immediately got someone to find Miss Lincoln at the kindergarten.
A call was received a moment later.
“Something happened at the kindergarten, Chairman. Many policemen surround it.”
Julian squinted with a bad gut feeling. “Check now what’s going on,” he said in an urgent manner.
A moment later, Julian got a report from his people.
Miss Lincoln that Chessie had mentioned earlier was found dead in the pond inside the school compound a while ago!
The death time was very close to the time when Chessie was brought to the hospital.
All the students in the kindergarten had been dismissed. Parents were very upset that such an incident had happened in the school as it was supposed to be a top-tier kindergarten for children of rich and noble families. Therefore, both the police and the principal were in a very difficult position.
