Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren)

Chapter 38 Lauren gazed at Andrew with sparkling eyes.

Dr Lloyd, please tell us how you figured it out.

Andrew explained, Its quite simple.

You have a predictable routine between three locations.

Since the culprit couldnt act at photo shoots or your home, that only leaves the company.

Francesca chimed in, Thats obvious

But how can you be so certain its a high ranking insider at Rhodes Corporation? Andrew replied calmly, Think about it as CEO of the corporation, would regular employees have access to her? To poison her food or drinks, theyd need access to her office or personal items.

Only executives have that kind of privilege, Dr.

Lloyd is absolutely right, Lauren exclaimed

At Rhodes Corporation, only senior executives have that level of access to get near me.

Michael snickered

Then how do you explain Ceces poisoning? She didnt eat or drink anything she just visited briefly and got poisoned

Your theory makes no sense! Exactly.

You cant explain that part with your theory, Francesca commented.

Andrew remained unfazed

Of course, it makes sense.noveldrama

Its the same poison in both cases, showing the culprit tried twice.

Poison can spread in many ways, most directly through inhalation.

Id bet Ms.

Cecelia touched some of Ms.

Rhodess personal items while visiting.

Michael snorted and was ready to argue, but Andrew cut in, saying, Based on the inhalation theory, Ms. Cecelia must have come into contact with one of Ms.

Rhodes personal items, perhaps flowers.

Given that a beautiful CEO like Ms.

Rhodes receives flowers daily, poisoning the pollen would be an effective method.

Before Michael and Francesca could argue, Lauren exclaimed in awe, Dr.

Lloyd, youre incredible ! Cece did faint after handling my flowers that day.

I never made the connection because I receive so many flowers daily.

Do you always bring these flowers to your office? Andrew asked.

Lauren shook her head.

Not always only when Im in the mood.

Usually, I dont bother with them.

Andrew nodded.

That explains it

The culprit must have known this, so the flower pollen method wasnt reliable

Meanwhile, poisoning your coffee would have been foolproof if Eunice hadnt accidentally foiled their plan

Eunice grimaced, wondering why she always ended up being the victim.

Brilliant! Dr.

Lloyd, youre absolutely brilliant! I could just kiss you! Lauren beamed at Andrew with admiring eyes. Chapter 38 Francesca sighed in frustration.

I shouldve realized the poison could spread through pollen too.
