Chapter 975 Lost Consciousness
"If everything's fine, it's not fine!" Matthew headed upstairs by the elevator. When he entered the living
room, a faint fragrance wafted their nose. It was scarce to notice, but he managed to pick up on it. The
wispy smell was that of a woman's perfume which one could hardly detect.
His brows knitted slightly as he stood right there to scan the area. Then, he walked toward the table,
stared at the teacup, and touched the teapot. It got cold.
Other than those, another teacup was broken into pieces atop the table. There was no sign of physical

"Found anything?" asked Lazlo concernedly.
"Nothing." Matthew shook his head and left the living room to meet Shirley.
She was staying by Skyler's side, holding his hand as his eyes were reddened. Hearing the incoming
footsteps, she looked sideways to look at Matthew. "President Kings?" She stood up. "President Kings,
Roni is gone. You have to find her. I'm worried that she's in danger."
"People are searching for her, so don't worry. Did you notice anything weird in Roni's room?"
"No." She shook her head. "I waited for Sky downstairs, but he took too long, so I went upstairs. By the
time I came in, he's fainted, and Roni's missing."
"Take it easy. Take care of Skyler. He's safe. Only, he will be sleeping for a few days." Since there was
no valuable information, he decided not to waste time there. He entered the room to glimpse Skyler
and instructed his subordinate a few words before taking his leave.
Matthew hit the road as soon as he stepped out of One Piece Restaurant. Lazlo chased behind him but
failed to get into the same car. Left with no choice, he drove another vehicle to follow Matthew.
Behind the wheel, Matthew called Eleanor, who questioned agitatedly, "What happened? Have you
found Veronica?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"No. I just wanna ask if you have any secret skills that can make one faint. Or any drugs that smell of
lily?"
The fragrance in the room was strange. Veronica did not wear perfume daily, nor did they have scented
candles at home. Plus, Shirley was not wearing perfume either. Thus, the fragrance was suspicious.
"Lily?" Eleanor frowned, trying to remember something. "Yeah. It's a kind of secret skill. It's a drug that
makes one faint five minutes after inhaling it. You won't be able to wake up for three to five days."
"Is there an antidote?" That was the main point.
"Not for now, but it won't cause any harm. You don't have to worry that much."
"Thanks." He ended the call and speeded to somewhere familiar. After alighting from the car, he ran up
the hill, heading to Mountainside Gardens.
