Dont worry. We have it under control, the butler replied with a respectful tone.
I said nothing more and hung up the phone.
After a moment of contemplation, I changed into a suit and headed straight to the VIP ward on the top floor.
Though I had been recovering in the ward recently, I was well-informed about the events happening in the outside world.
This was particularly true regarding Shirley. In fact, I found out about Shirleys disfigurement before Debra did.
Moreover, Debra mentioned that Addy had been causing her trouble, which led me to quickly deduce who might be targeting Debra.
Holding back my anger, I knocked on the door.
Soon, it swung open from the inside, revealing Addy.
Perhaps sensing my frustration, Addy instinctively blocked the doorway, appearing hesitant to let me in.
Before I could utter a word, Addy asked cautiously, What do you need, sir?

I couldnt take it anymore. I pushed Addy aside and marched up to the clan leader. Maam, were you aware that Debra nearly got poisoned yesterday afternoon?

.
Her expression grew stormy. Ignoring my question, she retorted sharply, How dare you speak to me like this? Have you no respect left for me?
It was clear to me then. Her guilt was evident in her evasion and anger. I realized right then that she was behind the poisoning. Her reaction dashed any last hopes I had for the witch clan.
For years, I had devoted myself tirelessly to the clan, risking my life multiple times. I had wronged no one in the clan, yet they couldnt even accept the woman I loved.
Debra was innocent, yet they wished her dead. It was simply because she was my nominal fiancee.
I couldnt fathom or accept their motives. All I felt was an icy despair.
Seeing my smirk instead of an apology, the leaders face turned even more severe. Andrew, are you planning to rebel? Apologize to me this instant!
Addy attempted to mediate. Andrew, please, talk properly if you have something to say. But dont disrespect the leader. Dont you realize youre nothing like the kind deputy leader you used to be?
Her words struck me as absurd, but I had no interest in discussing such trivial matters. Raising my voice, I demanded again, Did you send someone to poison Debra? Answer me!
