Chapter 1549: 1549. The Opportunity to Poison
She had tried to probe repeatedly just now and thought this person was very easily satisfied, not greedy, not someone who would easily be bribed.
But if Shirley wasn’t the one who poisoned Helen, then it was only the bodyguards standing outside the door.
Although the bodyguards had high credibility, Elly Campbell was not so self-opinionated as to completely ignore investigating the bodyguards.
However, she didn’t hide the matter from Adam Jones and shared her thoughts with him.
The Jones Family’s bodyguards were all personally selected by Adam Jones, and apart from personal skills, loyalty was the most important factor.
He spent a lot of effort picking such a group of bodyguards; their loyalty was extremely high.
But since his wife wanted to investigate them, he didn’t oppose it. He even summoned his elite team under his command for Elly Campbell, allowing them to fully comply with her arrangements.
These elites were completely different from the Jones Family’s bodyguards, even without any overlap, so Elly Campbell was not worried they would cover up for those bodyguards.
These people acted swiftly, and within a few days, they had completely investigated the bodyguards’ whereabouts and private actions over the past two years.
This completely ruled out the possibility of them poisoning Helen Melendy.
"Then surely Shirley is the biggest suspect."
Elly Campbell placed the documents in her hand into the shredder and destroyed them. Sitting in the office, she looked outside the window with a bit of melancholy.
In her hand, she held a cup of coffee that her secretary had just brewed for her.
The coffee still emitted heat.
She squinted her eyes, lost in thought.
Shirley was the caregiver she hired for Helen, and the massage was at her request. If it was really Shirley who did it, whether intentionally or manipulated by others, it was indirectly her fault for harming Helen...
Thinking of this, Elly Campbell felt a pang in her heart, her hand holding the coffee cup trembled.
The still warm coffee splashed out from the cup, burning her back to awareness.
Helen nearly lost her life trying to save her back then, and now finally woke up, but couldn’t walk due to poisoning.
And the opportunity for the poisoning might have been provided by her...
The more Elly thought about it, the more her heart ached, recalling Helen Melendy in the ward with that pale yet forced smile, and her heart grew heavier.
Endless guilt and self-blame surged towards her heart, as if they were going to drown her.
Even if it was the result she least wanted to face, she finally sent someone to investigate Shirley.
Learning from Director Montgomery that the poison residue in Helen’s calf had been there for half a year, meaning it was administered half a year ago and hasn’t been given since.
Investigating the source of the poison from half a year ago might be very difficult, but finding suspicious clues from Shirley should be feasible.
That day, she still went to the hospital to see Helen Melendy, and Shirley continued to care for her as usual.
Helen Melendy was unaware of the true condition of her calf, and she was very happy to see her.
Elly Campbell’s mood, however, seemed even more heavy.
Shirley happened to be in the ward at the moment, and whether she was truly innocent or acted very well, she was still able to face her calmly.
"Mrs. Jones, have some water."
Elly Campbell reached out to take the water cup Shirley handed over, thought for a moment, and said:
"Shirley, where did you buy the essential oil you used for Helen before? I saw Helen using it well, and I’d like to buy some."
