Evan thought Levant was being ridiculous. There was no need for him to resort to getting Nicole to do such a thing.
Evan glared at Levant. “I’m not like you. If ever Seet Group is in trouble and needs the publicity, I’ll still have the decency to keep my wife out of it!”
Levant snorted before responding, “Then what was going on in the mall? Why would Nicole snatch someone’s child to traffic?”
Before Evan could reply, Murphy cut in, “The hallucinogen could only have come from Wicked Palace. Which one of you stole it?”
Avril shook her head. “I have no interest in the drug. There’s no way I even went near it.”
Levant thought deeply. Why is Dad asking about the hallucinogen now?
“Why are you asking about this now, Dad?”
“Was it you, Levant?”
Levant had no idea what Murphy was referring to. He furrowed his brow and asked, “What are you talking about, Dad?”
“The hallucinogen is very similar to the amnesia drug. Were you aiming for the amnesia drug but grabbed the hallucinogen by mistake?”
Levant was still confused. He looked at Murphy, baffled.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Dad. Can you be clearer?”
Murphy elucidated his train of thought. “When you were wooing Nicole, you once fed her the amnesia drug. As she was about to marry Evan, you saw your chance disappearing. Did you try to erase her memory again by drugging her? You could have accidentally used the hallucinogen instead.”
Levant froze. He could not believe that his own father was accusing him of committing such an act. What father would suspect his son of such a thing?
Also, did he just say that Nicole took the hallucinogen?
“Dad, did you just say that Nicole…”
“Yes. Someone fed her the hallucinogen.”
Levant’s face fell. How could something like this happen?
Murphy asked Levant again if he had anything to do with the incident.
“Dad, how can you suspect me? Besides, you were the one who brought up the idea of giving Nicole the amnesia drug at that time. If not for your suggestion, I would never have thought of it on my own.”
Murphy was startled by his son’s reaction. I was only trying to help you because you were so in love with her. How can you sell me out so easily now?
You ungrateful brat.
Sophia watched the two men point fingers at each other. She heaved a sigh. “I swear you two were enemies in a past life. Stop drudging up the past. Get to the point!”
She turned to address Levant, “Does Wicked Palace have the antidote to the hallucinogen?”
Levant’s expression flattened. He turned his pained expression towards Murphy.
“You use the hallucinogen to punish people you deem incompetent and traitors. Did you…”
“It had nothing to do with me! I only returned to the country recently. Although I am curious to know who else has access to drugs from Wicked Palace.”
Avril ruminated about the possibilities. A person came to mind.
“Levant, when you were at Wicked Palace, there was a woman who often came to see you. She seemed like the scheming type. Could it have been her?”
Levant fell silent.
Murphy was very interested in the woman Avril mentioned. He eventually found out that the woman in question was Susan.
“Who’s Susan?” Murphy demanded to know.
Evan’s eyes narrowed.
Ever since Susan escaped, there’s been no word from her. She could very likely be the one orchestrating this from the shadows.
It’s highly possible that she’s the one who drugged Nicole.
At the mention of Susan, Sophia let out another sigh.
“Let’s leave Susan aside for now. We should first talk about if there’s any way to cure Nicole.”
