Chapter 269

Ben’s words were laden with sarcasm.

Carl Miller, wiping cold sweat from his forehead, replied, “I… I just thought Yana was in a more pitiable situation.”

Ben nodded. “Indeed. Susan’s long–term blood donations and subsequent weakness aren’t worthy of concern, right? The damage to her health and the effort it’ll take to recover doesn’t warrant pity.”

Carl tried to defend himself and said, “But… she has you, doesn’t she?”

“Yes, she does,” Ben said with a smile. “So, her biological parents can naturally ignore her and focus on someone’s child.”

Alexander and Judith’s expressions shifted subtly.

Carl told Jane that they were more concerned about Yana because she was in poor health, which was understandable.

But if it was really as they said, and they had picked up Yana, then they’d wronged their own daughter to this extent for the sake of a child they’d picked up.

The word sage was not enough to describe him.

It could only be said that he was a fool.

Noticing the change in Alexander and Judith’s expressions, Carl and Jane became more anxious.

Carl hastily said, “I was just about to check on Susan now that Yana is safe.”

Ben laughed. “No need. Susan is barely holding on to her life as it is. Your presence might just take that away.”

Carl’s heart skipped a beat. “What… what do you mean.”

Ben kicked the nurse on the ground.

The nurse immediately let out a scream like a pig being slaughtered.

She scrambled to Carl’s feet.

Carl really wanted to kick her away, but the nurse hugged his thigh tightly.

“Mr. Miller, you gave me the powder to harm Mrs. Landor! You can’t pin everything on me now.”

The nurse tearfully said, “I may be an accomplice, but I don’t deserve death.”

Carl no longer dared to look at other people’s expressions. He desperately tried to break free.

The nurse felt something and hugged him tighter.” Mr. Miller, you can’t push me out to take the blame alone. You asked me to do all this. Although I’m not innocent, I can’t take the blame alone.”

Carl gritted his teeth and kicked the nurse away with all his strength.

He was filled with regret and frustration.

What was going on?

Didn’t Carl bribe that nurse, promising her family a hefty sum if she confessed?

Yet, she betrayed him without hesitation!

After being kicked away, the nurse quickly got up and crawled back to Carl’s feet. “Mr. Miller, are you really going to deny it? You can’t do this.”

Carl tried to kick her away again, but this time the nurse was prepared and he couldn’t do it.

Carl gritted his teeth and looked at her. “What are you talking about? I don’t understand a word.”

Ben, arms crossed, said indifferently, “Don’t understand? Explain it to him again.”

The nurse nodded frantically, tears streaming down her face. “Mr. Miller, what do you mean by this? Wasn’t it you who called me, offering me 2 million dollars to put this powder into Mrs. Landor’s liquid? I even have the bank transfer record.”

Alexander frowned at Carl.

Carl feigned calm. “You’re slandering me! Susan is my daughter, I would never do such a thing. Even if you have

2 million dollars in your account, can you prove it’s from me?”

Cart was not stupid.

When he gave the money, he went through several rounds of procedures and guaranteed that no one would replace

out about his account!

Thinking of this, Carl slowly calmed down.

Even if the nurse accused him, he’d just deny everything.

“Mr. Miller, you…” The nurse was shocked by Carl’s shamelessness. “But I have the record of your call, and recorded it.”

Carl replied, “I called you to meet, to ask you to take good care of my daughters, not to harm anyone.”

Carl had planned for this.

Therefore, he would talk about the real important things face to face.

Moreover, he had brought equipment to interfere with the recording at that time. Even if the nurse wanted to keep evidence, it was impossible.

“You…” The nurse didn’t expect Carl to be so thoughtful. She couldn’t help panicking. She looked at the others in a panic and said, “It’s true. It’s really Mr. Miller who asked me to do it.”

“You’re falsely accusing me.” Jane couldn’t help but step forward to s

slap her.

However, before she could put down her hand, Alexander grabbed her arm.

“Mr. Nicholas.” Jane was a little flustered.

Alexander said faintly, “Since there is something, we have to get to the bottom of it. If you slap him, Mr. Miller will not be able to defend himself.”

Yana, though not in good spirits, caught the gist and said weakly, “My dad couldn’t have done this, she must be framing him. Tell us, how much did someone pay you to do this?”

When Yana spoke this, her gaze subtly shifted towards Ben, implying he was behind this.

Carl understood and quickly said, “I know, Ben. I don’t care enough about Susan, but you can’t hate me so much because of this. You even bribed someone to frame me.”

Ben’s expression remained unchanged. “I framed the nurse?”

Carl quickly found his angle. “This nurse accuses me right off the bat, yet I’ve done nothing of the sort. If not you, Ben, then who’s behind this? Susan wouldn’t approve of your actions like this, Ben.”

Carl said, “Also, about that liquid. Is there really a problem with it? I’m not so sure. As far as I know, you brought your own medical team and didn’t let Appolis Hospital handle the tests, instead having your doctors examine the fluid. They’re your people and who knows if they might have added something to frame me.”

That was what Carl said.

Ben didn’t say anything.

Uriah’s expression darkened. “Mr. Miller, please be careful with your words.”

“Uriah, I’m just stating the facts,” Carl hurriedly said. “Even though Ben is my son–in–law, we’ve had some misunderstandings. In a moment of anger, it’s not impossible for him to frame me.”

“Right,” Jane quickly said, “You had your people test the medicine, so the results can’t be trusted! You’re trying to frame my husband, but you won’t succeed.”

Ben, unfazed, smiled at Uriah. “Uriah, what do you think?”

Carl, puzzled, asked, “Why are you asking Uriah?”

Uriah’s face darkened like charcoal. “Mr. Miller, are you suggesting that the city’s inspection bureau, under my jurisdiction, would conspire to frame you?”

City’s inspection bureau?

Carl was completely dumbfounded.

How could it be the city’s inspection bureau?
