After a few more cups of tea, Matthew noticed that Ambrose's eyes were gleaming with a green light.
His complexion suddenly changed, and he rushed to Ambrose's side immediately, reaching out to grab
Ambrose's neck.
Ambrose subconsciously wanted to resist, but Matthew whispered something in his ear.
A bright light flashed in Ambrose's eyes, and he immediately pushed Matthew away with a palm.
Crystal, who was at the side, looked bewildered.
"What are you two doing? Mr.Arnold, what's wrong?"
Ambrose staggered to his feet, and while stepping back, he shouted loudly, "Someone...I need
someone here! Someone poisoned the tea!"
A group of people rushed in immediately from outside the door.
When everyone saw the situation at the scene, they were at a loss.
At this moment, Mason hurriedly brought more people in as well.
"Dad, what's wrong? W-What's going on here? How can there be poison in the tea?"
Immediately, he led people to surround Ambrose.
At this point, Ambrose's entire face was pale, and there was even some frost on the back of his hand,
which looked extremely strange.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Matthew leaned over to Crystal's side and whispered, "Help Ambrose
up and keep an eye on him.Woodside will be in chaos tonight!"
Crystal looked bewildered, but she still ran to Ambrose's side immediately.
She wanted to help him up, but when she touched Ambrose's arm, she felt as if she was grabbing an
ice block, and her hand retracted from the cold.
"Mr.Arnold, w-what's wrong? Why are you so cold?" Crystal was crying.She considered him her
godfather who loved her the most.
Ambrose didn't speak.
He began to sit cross-legged on the ground, using all his inner strength to resist the cold to prevent the
cold from traveling to his heart and attacking it.
When Mason saw this, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Someone! Help my father up to rest
in the inner room! Also, lock this place down so no one is allowed to leave!"
The implication was to lock Matthew here too.His men immediately rushed up and tried to carry
Ambrose away.
Crystal clutched Ambrose's sleeve tightly and followed closely behind.
Mason saw this and hurriedly said, "Crystal, I don't think you should go with him.Dad was poisoned and
needs to rest..."
Crystal burst into tears upon hearing him and shook her head vigorously.
"No! I am not going anywhere! I want to be with Mr.Arnold!"
Mason felt anxious.
How was he supposed to get anything done with Crystal following Ambrose around?
"Miss Harrison, this is Woodside, so you still have to abide by the rules here! Dad was poisoned, and
the matter has not been investigated yet.You have to stay and cooperate with our investigation"
Mason's voice turned cold.
When Crystal heard this, she couldn't help but get angry.
"What do you mean? Are you suspecting that I was the one who placed the poison?"
At this time, an old man next to him also said, "Young Master Mason, the young lady is the most
favored daughter of Master Arnold.How would she do such a thing? He is in a crisis now, and it is only
normal for her to want to follow him."
The others also looked straight at Mason.
When this happened, Mason knew that it was impossible to send Crystal away, so he could only nod
his head.
"I'm sorry.I'm too worried about my father's condition.That's all.If that's the case, then...Crystal, I'll
trouble you to take care of him..."
Crystal gritted her teeth and did not speak, then she led Ambrose to the inner room with everyone.
After watching these people walk away, Mason turned to look at Matthew.
"Mr.Larson, can I trouble you to tell me what happened just now?" he asked coldly.
Matthew recounted what happened before, and finally said solemnly, "I drank two cups of tea just now
before I suddenly realized that something was wrong with Mr.Arnold's tea.I wanted to check it out, but
he pushed me away.So, I don't know exactly what the situation is.Do you mind if I take a look at him? I
know a little something about medicine, so I might be able to help"
