The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 2386

The servants Beatrice had summoned were those who frequently traversed the living room, so there was a chance they might have caught sight of what happened that evening.

Beatrice spoke politely, and they were unaware of the severity of the situation. It occurred to her that she should have questioned these servants earlier, particularly when she reviewed the surveillance footage and found no evidence of Thalia's crime. With no surveillance inside the kitchen, she did not have a surefire way of knowing what Thalia might have done to Lucas's drink.

"It's actually not a big deal. I'm just wondering if any of you happened to see what Miss Thalia did that evening. Lucas had a bit of an issue, so as his grandmother, I need to clarify things for him. Otherwise, misunderstandings might arise between him and Melody," Beatrice explained.

The servants exchanged glances with one another. Although they knew it was not their place to meddle in the household's affairs, they were well aware of Thalia's feelings for Lucas despite his indifferent demeanor.

They had even discussed it privately, speculating whether Melody leaving was due to a disagreement with Lucas. At that moment, it seemed their suspicions were confirmed.

"We can all see what Miss Thalia's intentions are, but we don't believe Mister Lucas shares the same sentiment," Lynette ventured, breaking the silence. Having spent many years in the Riveras' household, she had a good sense of the family's dynamics.

After her question, Beatrice smiled knowingly.

"It's true Lucas and Melody had a small disagreement between them. A few days ago when Miss Thalia went to Lucas' study, I had a suspicion lingering in my mind. Although Lucas is my grandson, I can't favor him and overlook Melody's feelings, can I?"

Lynette's face turned pale with shock. She had heated the glass of milk personally!

"Miss Beatrice, how could there be anything wrong with the milk? I personally heated it up, and then Miss Thalia took it up. I... I didn't tamper with the milk in any way! Did something happen to Mister Lucas after he drank it?"

Beatrice quickly signaled for the maid next to her to support Lynette, whose legs had gone weak with fear.

"What are you afraid of? You've all been with me for so long. Do you think I don't know you better than that? That evening, when I went upstairs, Lucas was asleep in the study, which struck me as odd because he never sleeps there. So I can't help but think Miss Thalia has spiked his milk with sleeping pills."
