Chapter 257 The Truth
“Please spare me! I’m only doing this out of desperation!”
The man pleaded, clutching his dislocated jaw and wailing in pain.
“Is there anything else? Bring it all to me.”
Upon Alexander’s command, the man crawled and rolled, retrieving two large boxes from the cabinet and presenting them to Alexander with both hands.
“Sir, this is all we have. But the potency of these drugs is extremely powerful. They must not be used in excessive amounts, as it can be life-threatening.”
With the situation unraveling, the man realized he could no longer hide the truth, as it would further implicate him in potential harm to others.
He divulged everything.
Immediately after that, Alexander signaled to call the police.
Alexander discreetly tucked some of the incense into his pocket, intending to present it
to Adrian as evidence.
The remaining items were left behind, and the people involved were bound within the hospital.
Shortly after, the blaring sound of sirens echoed outside as the police stormed in, apprehending both the individuals and the drugs, transporting them to the police
station.
Upon returning to the company, Alexander handed over the items to Adrian.
“Mr. Olson, these are the incense sticks you brought back from your home. I had them compared with Doctor Morris, and the composition is indeed the same.
“However, the effects of the drugs Ms. Potter purchased this time are much stronger than before.
“If inhaled for an extended period, it can be life-threatening.
“Doctor Morris also wanted me to convey a message: do not keep it near you for too long.

“The incense contains a high concentration of musk and addictive elements, such as aphrodisiacs, which can cause permanent damage to the body.
“For women, prolonged exposure can harm the uterus, leading to miscarriages and infertility.”
Alexander’s words immediately triggered a grim expression on Adrian’s face. Adrian furrowed his brows tightly, and in a fit of anger, he forcefully knocked over the drugs he was holding, displaying his frustration. © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
“Janice, time and time again, you continue to surprise me!”
Suddenly, a memory flashed through his mind, and he abruptly stood up.
He recalled a time many years ago when Janice had summoned him to a hotel, and by a stroke of misfortune, he had ended up having an affair with Sienna.
That night, he had questioned his own willpower, pondering how it could have weakened so easily.
Now, as he recollected the lingering fragrance in that room, everything became clear to him. It was all part of Janice’s elaborate plan.
And this made him ponder Adrian’s miscarriage. Could it also be related to this incense?
Unable to contain himself any longer, he hastily put on his coat and raced towards the Olson manor.
Meanwhile, Janice, feeling triumphant, was at home preparing a candlelit dinner, eagerly anticipating Adrian’s arrival.
Prior to this, she had gone to the company and employed all her tactics to persuade Adrian to agree to this dinner.
Lost in her daydreams of the affectionate moments that awaited, she couldn’t help but smile, brimming with anticipation.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang hastily.
“Has he arrived so early?”
Janice exclaimed happily as she hurriedly made her way to the door. And indeed, it was Adrian.

“Adrian, why have you come so early? The food isn’t ready yet.”
Adrian, expressionless, removed his coat and walked straight inside.
Janice failed to notice anything out of the ordinary, her excitement growing even stronger.
“Adrian, I had someone buy your favorite snacks.
“And I personally prepared the steak. It’ll be ready soon. Please have a seat and wait!”
Adrian glanced around, observing nothing out of the ordinary and not catching any peculiar scent.
