As a person with an unusual identity, Gavin Graves always made arrangements in advance to ensure safety whenever attending any event.

It was no different at this engagement banquet. Many of his bodyguards were disguised as ordinary guests in the hotel, keeping a close eye on any unusual happenings at the banquet.

When Bella Foster tried to tamper with Purple Summers’ wine glass, it was soon discovered, and an unthrown bottle of medicine was even found in her purse.

Lester Williams gently placed the emptied tube-shaped vial in front of Gavin.

Gavin was furious about today’s events.

Regardless of whether or not he and Bella Foster were lovers, or if they had any relationship, with her as his companion, it would be enough to cause him great shame when she had an illicit affair with the groom-to-be at someone else’s engagement banquet!

Fortunately, the young master of the Forrester Family knew what was important. Otherwise, if this had been exposed by others, it would have been a total humiliation! Gavin would be wearing a metaphorical green hat!

Not to mention that the groom-to-be was his cousin in name!

No man could endure such an insult!

However, now, as Lester Williams placed the medicine vial from Bella Foster’s purse in front of him, Gavin understood.

—Bella Foster was outsmarted by someone she was trying to outwit.

“Foolish.” Gavin frowned, his cold eyes still full of residual anger.

It’s not uncommon for major families to engage in intrigue and deception, but Gavin had a peculiar quirk: he would never commit murder or engage in conspiracies at weddings or funerals.

Bella Foster’s actions at the engagement banquet went against his principles.

“This medicine is very potent; only 10 milliliters are needed,” Lester said, glancing at the scale on the vial. “Ms. Foster was probably worried it wouldn’t take effect and used the whole 35 milliliters in the bottle. Now…she is likely to suffer.”

Gavin’s eyes grew even colder, like the chill of a knifeblade.

At the same time, he was puzzled, “Why did she want to harm Purple Summers?”

Though Young Master Graves was astute and could deal with various intrigues, he was unable to understand certain dark thoughts in women’s minds.

Lester, having a clear view as a bystander, answered with a smile: “It might be jealousy. You show some regard for Ms. Summers, and Ms. Foster admires you, so it’s quite normal for her to be unhappy. Last year, when you went to pick her up at school and complimented another female student’s hair, Ms. Foster cut the girl’s hair the next day.”

Gavin couldn’t remember such an incident and laughed when he heard about it: “So, this time she met her match?”

There was a faint smile on Lester’s face, “Ms. Summers isn’t an ordinary person since she was able to clear the second young master’s name.”

Lester held great respect for Purple Summers. As people who lived by the edge of the knife, they walked in a world outside legal regulations. It was easy to commit murder, but how to save someone and preserve reputation lawfully and legitimately was beyond their understanding.

The more they didn’t understand, the more they respected those who did.

Lester continued: “Ms. Foster deliberately knocked over Ms. Summers’ wine glass at the table and then volunteered to get a new one. She put the medication in the wine glass, covering the bottom with her hand, and poured in the wine. No one was supposed to notice. But then, Ms. Summers’ wine glass was accidentally knocked over by one of her classmates, spilling wine on her clothes. When Ms. Foster went to the bathroom, Ms. Summers and her classmate swapped the glasses back.”

At the time, Zara Jameson’s movements were somewhat unnatural, but Bella Foster ignored it, believing it to be childish retaliation, and didn’t pay attention. She didn’t even notice that her wine glass was the same one she had just given to Purple Summers.

As a result, Bella Foster hoisted herself with her own petard and the carefully- prepared medicine she intended for Purple Summers ended up in her own stomach.
