The War God Alpha’s Arranged Bride Novel

---- Chapter 89 [Third-Person's POV] After hearing Timothy's story, Alexander believed that Evelyn could have very well been telling the truth. It wasn't as though he didn't believe her when she'd told him about how she had seen Fiona near the tent. What he couldn't wrap his mind around was why Fiona would go out of her way to do something like that in the first place. However, there was still the matter of gathering physical evidence. Alexander took Timothy's testimony and shared his findings with Oliver for a second opinion. The Beta was shocked, once more.

"You'd think that finding a new way to help people's health would make someone like Fiona thrilled," Oliver said Alexander grimaced. Sure, one would think that; however, Fiona had always been someone who favored gossip rather than research. Her main interests usually fell under the categories of her fashion, social standing, and outdoing others around her. Not exactly the personality one would have if they were carrying a career in the medical field. ---- It wasn't as though she was poor at her profession, but Fiona never went above her education to explore more.

She merely followed the general practices and left it at that. "When she was told about the tea mixture Evelyn had created, why not ask her about it? Why target Evelyn like that?" Well, it's obvious that Fiona isn't exactly the talking type. Not in this instance. But something else wasn't sitting right with Alexander. The more he thought about the whole matter, the more the gears in his mind were turning. He took each piece of the case apart and evaluated it.

If they got their hands on a real piece of solid evidence and it was one hundred percent true that Fiona was the one responsible, it would mean that she had intentionally compromised the entire mixture. Suddenly, a thought came to mind. "| don't think Evelyn was ever the intended victim," he concluded "How do you mean?" "All Timothy said to Fiona was where the tea mixture was being stored. He never mentioned anything about the fact that Evelyn always taste-tested each batch before shipping it out," he clarified. ---- Oliver's eyes widened.

"You're saying that what happened to Evelyn really could have been an accident-" "accident, more like poor luck. It doesn't exempt the fact that the entire mixture had been tampered with. If no one had ever tested it and it happened to be shipped out...Hundreds of people would have been poisoned and suffering the same way that she is right now." Acold, unnerving shiver raced down Alexander's spine. "This would have been a regional catastrophe had it not been caught in time," Oliver said. "We need to find that evidence. This cannot go unsolved or unpunished," Alexander hissed.

"| want you to send for Fiona. I'm going to try and get a confession out of her. While that's happening, | need you to search through her entire work tent. Every inch of that place needs to be searched. Leave nothing unturned." Alexander studied Fiona the second she entered his office. It wasn't a place she had ever spent much time in, so the fact that she looked uncomfortable was nothing unexpected. As usual, he made it a point to sit in his wheelchair and address her with the same cold authority that he always spoke with.

---- "You wanted to see me?" "Sit down, Fiona." She took a seat in one of the chairs across from him. He could see she was trying to keep her wits about her as she squared her shoulders back and kept form reposed. "'m curious, Fiona. As a registered medical professional, can you tell me what the effective uses are of a particular kind of plant?" "That would depend on the plant," she commented.
