Chapter 1155: Chapter 1155: She is Suspected of Being an Accomplice

The surrounding whispers left Boyd Drew feeling like his heart was filled with ashes. He wanted to explain, but he didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t see anything now, yet these people claimed they saw him in the surveillance footage.

Vivian Drew’s face was distorted with rage and desperation, nearly on the verge of breaking down. She felt helpless for the first time, as if a heavy boulder was pressing down on her chest, making it hard for her to breathe.

Xaviera Evans frowned in displeasure and questioned, "Miss Wendy Drew, now that we have found the culprit who poisoned Sir Drew, how do you plan to handle it? This person not only caused Sir Drew to fall into a coma but also tried to frame Caleb. You must not be lenient with him. After all, you were planning to call the police and arrest Caleb when you believed he was the culprit. If you don’t deal with Boyd, everyone will think you are protecting him and condoning his poisoning of Sir Drew!"

"Could it be that you, Miss Wendy Drew, are also involved in the poisoning? After all, once Sir Drew is poisoned, you and Boyd can take sole control of the Drew family’s fortune."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. The accusation was a serious matter. Xaviera’s implication was that if Vivian didn’t deal with Boyd, she would be suspected as an accomplice!

"Xaviera!" Vivian roared, her temples throbbing.

Xaviera covered her ears with a disdainful expression, "Keep it down, I’m not deaf. Sir Drew is still unconscious, yet Miss Wendy Drew doesn’t seem to care, instead focusing on Boyd. It’s not without reason for us to suspect you both plotted together against Sir Drew!"

There was sudden silence all around, and Caleb Mamet smiled slightly with an air of elegance, nodding in agreement: "Xaviera makes a very reasonable point."

Vivian immediately panicked, and refuted in horror, "It’s not true! Boyd would never poison my father! The surveillance footage must be fake! You must have tampered with it!"

As soon as Vivian finished speaking, the butler sighed helplessly, "Miss Drew, we have already found a bottle of poison in Mr. Mamet’s room. The doctor has confirmed that it’s the same poison Sir was poisoned with. I think it would be best for Mr. Mamet to admit his mistake sooner rather than later. Otherwise, the scandal will damage our family’s reputation."

Xaviera’s eyes widened momentarily. She had already taken the bottle of poison, so why did the butler say that it was discovered in Boyd’s room? Moreover, even if the butler had found the poison, shouldn’t he have informed Vivian privately? Announcing this in front of everyone was as good as confirming that Boyd was indeed the one who poisoned Sir Drew.

How could the Drew family’s butler be so indiscreet? So...

Xaviera swallowed and couldn’t help but glance at the man beside her – this butler must be on Caleb’s side!

However, at that moment, Caleb Mamet remained elegant and aloof, as though everything happening before him had nothing to do with him.

Looking deathly pale, Vivian’s legs weakened, and she collapsed helplessly onto a chair, never expecting that, overnight, her father would be in a coma, Boyd would lose his vision, and be accused of poisoning.

As everyone was about to leave, someone spoke indignantly, "The surveillance footage is clear. Boyd Drew was clearly the one who poisoned Sir. Now that the truth is out, shouldn’t Miss Wendy Drew and Boyd apologize to Mr. Caleb Mamet? Sir Drew devoted himself to teaching Boyd, and yet he tried to poison him for power! How utterly ruthless and ungrateful!"

"I bet Boyd was afraid that once Mr. Caleb Mamet returned to the Drew family, he’d take his place as the heir. That’s why he wanted to poison Sir Drew and inherit the family fortune as soon as possible. What a cold-hearted man!"

Listening to the ridicule around him, Boyd clenched his teeth angrily, "Caleb——!!"

"Mr. Drew, we can hear you. You don’t need to be so loud." Xaviera mocked, "Now you, Mr. Drew, are the heir of the Drew family. If Sir Drew remains unconscious, you’ll be the next family head according to tradition, and the whole Drew family will fall into your hands, wouldn’t it?"

"Xaviera! What nonsense are you talking about? My father will definitely wake up!" Vivian yelled hoarsely, "Boyd is the only heir to the Drew family. Caleb, don’t even think about it!"

Xaviera replied indifferently, "Miss Wendy Drew, you’re protecting Boyd so much, anyone would think he’s your son! Since you’re so confident, let’s just wait and see!"

Vivian’s face darkened instantly. She wanted to curse them out, but Xaviera and Caleb had already turned and left.

Boyd heard their footsteps fading away. His expression darkened like ink, his teeth grinding in anger, "Aunt, we must not let Caleb enter the cemetery!"

Vivian hurried forward and comforted him, "Boyd, we haven’t lost until the very end. You are still the heir of the Drew family. As long as Caleb publicly announces that he’s forfeiting his right to inherit, no one will be able to compete with you!"

Boyd took a deep breath, his body extremely exhausted, his eyes staring blankly into darkness, void of any light or spirit, like a soulless shell.
