They had contacted her by phone, and even the drugs had been placed in her locker ahead of time.

Initially, Janet had just been scared, but the moment she opened her locker and saw the vial, she was genuinely terrified.

“She never told anyone the number of her locker, yet they knew. And the drug…” Roy’s expression darkened. “Before she made her move, she checked the hospital’s pharmacy system and confirmed that this particular vial did come from the hospital.”

And now…

This wasn’t bad at all.

After all, someone had to do these things.

While they talked, Nina finished reading the confession statement carefully.

When the room quieted down, she closed the folder and looked up

“You’re going on a business trip with Michael–aren’t you worried it might be dangerous? I’ve always felt like Michael has ulterior motives.”

Jessica and Michael were going on the trip for a jewelry departme collaboration.

Michael wasn’t originally on the list, but for some reason, just before departure, he was suddenly added.

He called and said that, to show how much he valued the partnership

What was more, the destination was Jelaston a particularly meaningful city for them.

Back then, when they had eloped, Jelaston was the place they’d planed to escape to
