Based on the cook's words, he was referring to the last time Leo had food poisoning.

The elder's expressions suddenly changed. They had always thought that it was Jennie. They would never have thought that the issue was from their end!

It was none other than the cook who had put poison on Leo's dedicated food box!

Guan Rui drank his tea unhurriedly, then he commented, "So, it was the cook who did something the last time Leo was poisoned!"

Guan Zihao squinted. "Now, we're talking about matters between our families. Why did you pull this person out for?"

Jisoo smiled as he said, "Master Guan, what are you rushing for? Just watch!"

Mother Manoban glared at the cook and was suddenly so furious that she trembled. "Master Chen! You've been working for our family for more than ten years now. We have treated you with nothing but kindness. Who was it that gave you whatever advantages that made you do something as cruel as this?! You know that Leo is my life!"

"Elder Madam... I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I let you down... I'm sorry, Elder Master... I... was possessed! It was that Jennie... That Jennie... She slept with me for a night and gave me a huge sum of money. She coaxed me to do all of this. She said no one will definitely find out that it was me. I... I couldn't resist the temptation, that's why I took the risk..."

"What are you saying?!" her expression suddenly changed.

Father Manoban looked grim too, but he did not react much. He just sat there quietly. Since Lisa had especially gotten Master Chen over, then the matter must not be as simple as this.

"Elder Madam, Elder Master, and First Master, I'm telling the absolute truth. I daren't lie! It really was that Jennie who told me to do this! If I lie, then I will be struck by lightning! Even if you give me a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare lie anymore!" Master Chen made a solemn vow.

When Mother Guan heard him, she instantly shook her head mockingly. "Forget the fact that to achieve her goals, she wouldn't spare hurting a child. She actually even slept with a cook... This is really..."

Right at that moment, the door was flung open once again.

A woman walked in.

"Is that her?" Lisa asked.

The cook stared at the woman at the door and immediately nodded. "Yes, it's her! The celebritiy, Jennie!"

When they saw who the woman at the door was, the elders looked shocked. Jennie? How could this be?

Jennie was clearly still in a coma and lying on the sick bed!

Then, this woman was...

Mother Manoban recalled, "Is this... Is this woman who had plastic surgery to look like Jennie, Yimo?"

"That's right, it's her." Jisoo nodded.

Now, she patted her chest in fright. "No wonder I felt like this woman's gaze is odd..."

"Mother, you have discerning eyes!" Jisoo praised.

"Don't be garrulous! So, you're saying, the person who directed this cook to put the poison was actually Yimo?" she clarified.

At this moment, Guan Ziyao said faintly, "You can't be sure! Since the two look exactly the same, who could differentiate who it was? Who knows if CEO didn't frame this woman to clear Jennie's name?"

Mother Guan agreed, "With one call, you asked us over, and you didn't talk about the main things, letting us watch all this nonsense instead! What is the meaning of this?"

Lisa looked at Jisoo, and when Jisoo received his brother's hint, he picked up his phone and clicked on a voice recording.

"The following recording might not be suitable for children... but thankfully, we are all adults here..."
