Chapter 1615: She’s My Girlfriend
The royal palace at sunset was magnificent and grand, with one building adjoining another, symbolizing power and wealth.Looking around, the round tower and the arched windows seemed to be narrating the oldest stories.
Not far away, there was a garden filled with various rare flowers of different colors, their fragrance permeating the air, carried by the wind.
The brilliance brought by the sunset offered a visual feast.
Walking side by side with his eldest son, the King felt naturally better as he gazed at the sunset on the horizon, not knowing how much longer he would live, but he had a firm belief that he must catch the murderer.
He couldn’t allow the murderer to continue harming his son after his death.
"Father, Jocelyn is my girlfriend."
After walking some distance, ensuring there was no one in front or behind them, Ian Shelby spoke softly.
Hearing this, Bertie was startled, taking quite a while to regain his composure, looking at him incredulously.
"You’re in love?"
"Yes."
The father and son locked eyes and continued walking towards the garden without pausing.
Soon, the King understood, "So for her, I can trust her unconditionally, right?"
"Right." Ian Shelby nodded, "But her identity can’t be made public yet."
"I know, for her safety." The King asked, "What about this Arab doctor? Can we trust him?"
"It’s still unclear. Although he was brought in by CEO Kingston, he’s also had contact with Princess Catherine..." Ian Shelby glanced at him, "We should be cautious for now."
"Is there anything I can do for Jocelyn?" the King asked.
Ian Shelby told him, "Food. We need to check the food carefully to see if poisoning could occur through it. She probably has her own plan, so you can observe and assist as needed."
"Alright." The King understood something.
About half an hour later, Ian accompanied the King back into the palace. Today’s walk was merely to inform his father of Jocelyn Morgan’s identity.
Moreover, Ian had another reason, which was to prevent his father from matchmaking further.
By the end of the evening, the King showed no unusual behavior, meaning after seeing Ian, he didn’t display anything towards Jocelyn Morgan.
Everything was as usual.
The following morning.
Jocelyn had a bold idea as soon as she woke up: she would go to the kitchen alone to collect samples of the King’s meals to check for any issues.
This investigation had to start from the source.
"Where is Miss Morgan?" The Arab doctor, just coming downstairs, asked the servant in his not-so-fluent Chinese, "Have you seen her?"
It was due to a temporary arrangement for the King’s first consultation, of which Jocelyn was not notified the previous night.
Just then, the King happened to come out, having vaguely heard his question, and he answered, "She went to find her brother. What’s the matter?"
The Arab doctor couldn’t quite grasp the meaning of his words clearly due to his poor Chinese, but he did not hurry, smiling warmly as he greeted the King with a good morning.
Accompanied by Eden and Arthur, the King walked towards the private dining room.
In the kitchen’s critical area, Jocelyn took advantage of the absence of others and slipped in directly, spotting the lavish breakfast prepared for the King at first glance.
She quickly took out several small handkerchiefs from her pocket, gently wiping the rims of the bowls, the edges of the handkerchiefs absorbing a bit of liquid.
For solid food, she directly took a small sample from the bottom.
She remained calm, her hands moving swiftly without looking around, each action decisively performed, with one sole thought: to save time and uncover the truth.
In just over ten seconds, she completed the sampling and put the handkerchief into her pocket, and at this time, no one else had entered the kitchen.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly.
But as she was heading out, footsteps echoed... She halted her step. //
