Uncovering My Wife's Secrets

Chapter 211 Cover Lies With Lies

Julian sneered, “Ohh. What a coincidence!”

Julian thought, “I didn’t know Abigail is eloquent.

“However, being eloquent is meaningless in front of the truth.”

Abigail said, “There are many coincidences in life. For example, we were engaged, but in the end, you married

Anna.”

Julian ignored Abigail and called another group of subordinates. He asked, “How’s your investigation with the

waitress?”

“Today, we found all the waiters and waitresses who made tea. None of them know Abigail Barton. One waitress

said that she had given a person a tray and some cups of tea because the customer asked for them. The customer

that the waitress mentioned should be Abigail Barton.

“The waitresses said they definitely did not add anything other than tea leaves to the tea. All the tea was made in

the pantry, which had more than a dozen cameras. The surveillance footage of the pantry will show whether they

are innocent.”

Julian said, “Investigate the waitress who gave the tray to Abigail! Focus on her!”

Abigail felt nervous, and her heart beat faster. She forced herself to remain calm.

Abigail said inside, “Luckily, I didn’t ask the waitress to run away. If she runs, it will only cause more suspicion.

“The waitress and I didn’t have any phone call records. I found the waitress a few days ago and gave her 5

thousand dollars in person.

“As long as the waitress refuses to give in, Julian will never find any evidence.”

Julian hung up the phone and glanced at Abigail. He called again and put it on speaker. Julian asked, “How is it?

Have you found the rat poison at Bethany Langdon’s house?”

Hearing this, Abigail’s eyes flickered again.

Julian raised his eyelids and stared at Abigail again.

Julian’s gaze made Abigail feel even more nervous. She quickly looked away.

The subordinate replied, “We’re searching. Bethany Langdon said she forgot which corner she put the rat poison in.

Julian said, “No worries. Take your time. If you need more people, you can ask Horington’s police to assist you.”

Abigail started to pinch the corner of her shirt uncomfortably.

Abigail blamed inside, “Mon is so stupid. The day before yesterday, I reminded her to mix some rat poison and

leave it in every corner of the house.

“If she can’t find it, she can only explain that the rats ate the poison. I hope mom can be smart and make up some

lies to get over the questioning.”

Just then, Julian’s phone rang.

Julian pressed a button and put it on speaker again.

The subordinate reported, “We didn’t find any rat poison in Barton’s house. Bethany Langdon said that she mixed

the arsenic in the food, and rats might have eaten them all.”

Julian said, “Ask her how many piles she put in the corners. She should have put more than one pile of poisons to kill

the rats.”

“She said there might be five to eight piles. They’re all small piles. She can’t remember the detailed numbers.”

“The poison was all eaten by rats?”

“Yes, she said the rats must eat it all.”

“Good. After eating so much arsenic, you can find a few dead rats. Look for the bodies of rats!”

“We searched, but we didn’t find anything. Bethany Langdon said the rats might escape by dragging their

weak bodies.”

“She probably is wrong about the arsenic. How could the rats escape after eating all the rat poison? Search for the

dead rats in Barton’s house!”

Yes, Mr. Parks.”

Abigail listened to the conversation between Julian and his subordinate. She was relieved, thinking, “Fortunately,

mom is smart.”

After a while, Julian’s phone rang again.

It was a subordinate who was in charge of investigating the waitresses. He reported, “Mr. Parks, the waitress who

handed tea to Abigail had a huge purchase yesterday. She bought a Cartier bracelet worth more than 3 thousand

dollars. We asked her about where she had received the money. She said it was her savings. However, she has only

worked for half a year, and her monthly salary is less than 400 dollars. She can only save up to 100 dollars a month.

“Hearing our analysis, she said her parents had given her some money. However, her parents are farmers, and

they are suffering financially. We called her parents, and her parents told us that they didn’t give their daughter

money

“Now, she said that her boyfriend gave the money to her. However, her boyfriend denied it.

“Now she said she is a rich businessman’s mistress…”

Julian glanced at Abigail again. He said into the phone, “It’s okay. Take your time. Keep asking questions until you

find out the man who asks her to be his mistress.”

Abigail scolded the waitress inside, “Stupid thing. Has she never seen money before? When I gave her the money, I

told her that she could only save it in the bank or spend it when everything blew over.

Julian’s phone rang again.

Julian picked up the phone slowly.

Julian kept answering the phone in front of Abigail and put it on speaker. By doing so, he deliberately created

tension and made Abigail panic.

This call was from a subordinate in Horington.

They found arsenic and barium at Barton’s house.

Julian said plainly, “Ask Bethany Langdon what the barium is used for.”

Abigail was furious, thinking, “At that time, I received some barium from my colleague and asked mom to ask her

friend to buy some arsenic. People will be suspicious if I want barium and arsenic. Thus, I got them from different

people.

“After I mixed them, I only took some away.

“Some were left at home, but I had asked mom to destroy them.

“I didn’t expect someone would find the rest of them one day. Oh my gosh, I’m so angry.”

The subordinate hung up the phone and went to question Bethany.

Julian looked at Abigail, asking, “Does your mother also know how to make facial masks with barium?”

“Yes, I taught her that.” Abigail felt that she was going to lose her calmness. She thought, “I only hope mom can be

smart one more time.”

Julian’s phone rang again.

Abigail’s heart beat fast again. She was already traumatized. Abigail felt scared when she heard the phone

ring.

The subordinate who investigated the waitress called back, reporting, “The waitress said that she was not a

mistress of a rich man, but she insisted that the money was hers.

“She told us that she had saved it up for many years. When she was in a vocational school, she offered sexual

services to make money. She charged 30 dollars for one time. Sometimes, she could take several orders a day.

“She never dared to buy luxury goods because she was afraid that her parents would find out her money was

illegitimate. Now that she was a waitress at the exhibition center and had a salary, she took out her money to

buy a bracelet

Hearing this subordinate’s report, Abigail was relieved again.

Abigail thought, “Luckily, this waitress is quite smart.

“Damn it. I’m almost scared to death!

“Although I’m safe now, I’m still worrying. If mom or that waitress fails to cover lies with lies, I will be over.”

Footsteps came from the door. Tony, Layla, and Alexander had arrived.

Tony asked unhappily, “Why does it take so long to collect fingerprints?” Then he continued, “You wasted so much

time to find the murderer, and now you still don’t have any progress. With such abilities, I’m worried whether you

can manage and keep the Parks Group when you take it over in the future.”

Julian retorted, “Even if I lose the Parks Group, grandpa will still be happy! Well, you know. Compared to business

skills, grandpa values characters more.”

“You!” Tony got angry every time he talked to Julian.

Layla patted Tony’s chest and comforted him, “Alright, alright. He’s just a kid. Why are you angry at a kid?”

“Julian, how’s the investigation going?” Alexander asked.
