Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1144

"Grandpa asked me about my recent work and scolded me as I wasn't aggressive and ambitious enough. That's it. What else could I possibly do to Grandpa?"

Elliot did not believe a single thing Stanley said.

"I'll give you one last chance to confess. If you choose to lie again, you'll face the consequences."

Stanley lowered his head, refusing to meet Elliot's gaze.

He remained adamant in his denial and responded, "What do you mean? Do you think I would harm Grandpa? You've been suppressing me and my dad, and Grandpa is the only one supporting me. I have no reason to harm him."

"But you do." Elliot's expression remained indifferent, but his words carried unwavering conviction.

"What makes you suspect me?"

Elliot pursed his lips, suppressing his displeasure.

It was a sign of his anger.

He shot Lionel a silent glance, signaling something.

Lionel immediately produced a small vial of unknown transparent liquid resembling eye drops and handed it to Elliot.

Taking it, Elliot stared at Stanley and said, "This was found in your room when my people searched Uncle Peter's mansion. I also checked your call logs and found that an unknown number had contacted you a few days ago.

"You deliberately put this substance in Grandpa's tea. Did you think I wouldn't find out?"

Stanley looked bewildered, reaching out to snatch the vial from Elliot's hand as he exclaimed, "What is this? I don't know what you're saying! Don't accuse me of something I didn't do."

Elliot agilely dodged Stanley's hand, easily avoiding his grasp.

"I'm not accusing you, and you know it."

Handing the vial to Lionel without showing it to Stanley, Elliot accused him firmly.

"Let me guess… The person who prompted you to tamper with Grandpa's food promised to help you or Uncle Peter seize power after it's done."

Elliot did not believe a word, his finger tensing as if he were about to pull the trigger.

"Stop lying. Do you even know what's in that vial? Overdosing could be fatal. Stanley, you're such a monster. Grandpa loves you so much, yet you're willing to take his life! He's old! Do you have no conscience?"

With the gun pressed against his head, Stanley felt his legs go weak, trembling all over as he sensed Elliot's intense murderous intent for the first time.

"That vial isn't mine. Grandpa takes medication for his blood pressure, so I have no reason to tamper with it. Just a few grapes and grapefruits would do. Why would I want to harm him? He's just unconscious. A couple of days on IV drip, and he'll be fine!"

Desperate to prove his innocence, Stanley blurted out his defense, but Elliot smirked.

"So, it was you who purposely encouraged Grandpa to eat grapes and grapefruits while he was on medication."

Stanley froze, realizing it belatedly.

He glared at Elliot and shouted, "Elliot, you set me up!"
