Chapter 545 Heartless
Martha thought about it, her eyes darkening as she felt a chill in her heart. She never expected the real murderer to be Uncle Clark, who always seemed kind and friendly.After coming back to her senses, she half-squatted next to her grandmother and comforted hergently. "Grandma, don't worry. With me here, I won't let Uncle Clark hurt you again." As she spoke, she slowly pushed her grandmother towards the room and handed her over to themaid who had been serving her grandmother. "You take good care of my grandma. Also, my grandma doesn't need to take medicine anymore." "Yes," the maid replied with a hint of doubt in her eyes but didn't ask any further questions. Martha glanced at the maid faintly without saying anything. Fortunately, the elderly maid who servedMartha's grandmother was not present today; otherwise she might not have been so obedient. After giving instructions to the maid, Martha suddenly remembered something and asked sternly, "Where are Grandma's medications?" The maid looked at Martha with confusion and didn't understand why she was asking this question. Without getting an answer from the maid, Martha's voice became even more cold and severe asshe spoke again, "Give me Grandma's medication that she usually takes." "Okay, okay." The maid looked at Martha fearfully before turning around to get the medicine that was placed on atable nearby. After taking over the medication from the maid, Mart a hurried out of the Lucas Residence. She needed King Ducasse's help in analyzing the composition of these medicines. If there were any problems, it would prove that Clark was indeed the real mastermind behindeverything. Ever since her wedding, King Ducasse had given orders for his guards not to stop Martha fromentering the royal palace, so Martha could enter and leave freely. Soon enough, King Ducasse came out to greet Martha, and they met half way on the road.
"What happened?" King Ducasse looked at her worriedly. Martha returned soon after she left, so he had a hunch that something must have happened. In the next second, Martha took out a bag of medication and handed it over to King Ducasse, "Let the director analyze these medicines again." "Okay." King Ducasse said in a deep voice, his gaze shifting towards his guard standing behind him. "Take this to the director and have it tested immediately," King Ducasse ordered. "Yes," replied the guard respectfully as he took the medicine and left. King Ducasse watched the guard leave with deep-set eyes. "Let's go to Side Palace." "Okay," Martha replied, following closely behind King Ducasse. Soon enough, King Ducasse couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get it?" "It's medicine that my grandmother has been taking for a long time." Martha didn't intend to hide it and told it directly. Originally, Martha wanted to find out the truth about Elsie's death on her own. Now that it involved Catherine too, she felt that King Ducasse had the right to know the truth aswell. When King Ducasse heard this, his eyebrows furrowed with suspicion. He didn't understand why Martha wanted the old Mrs. Lucas' medication to be tested. Did shediscover something? Before he could ask further though, Martha seemed to know what he was thinking and explainedherself without hesitation, "I just went back to Lucas Residence and saw Clark there." "I asked him if he knew about 'Sibi' but he said no; however I noticed a change in his expression." As she spoke of this, her hand unconsciously tightened, as if seeing her grandmother cry againbefore her eyes Ever since suffering from a stroke, her grandma had been bedridden for quite some time. Even doctors were surprised by how long it lasted despite not being severe. Now she knew the truth - Grandma's own son was hurting her all along. Martha felt heartbroken for Grandma but all she could do now was incriminate Clark. She lowered her eyes and continued speaking, "After Clark left, Grandma told me she wasnovelbin
bedridden because of those medicines." "And those medicines were brought over by Clark." Therefore who hurt Grandma might be Clark or even worse, the mastermind behind Elsie's deathand Catherine's madness was Clark. King Ducasse listened intently then looked at Martha with shock in his golden eyes. He didn't have much of an impression of Clark, having only met him once, and Clark appeared to bea gentleman. He couldn't believe that Clark was so vicious and heartless. He pursed his lips, unsure how to comfort Martha. After some thought, he said, "We'll have resultssoon." If Clark was truly the mastermind behind all of this, he wouldn't let him get away with it. After all, without the medicines, his mother wouldn't have ended up like that. As they walked together towards Side Palace, Stefan noticed something strange. Before he could ask about it though, the director rushed over in a hurry. "Your Majesty..." The director's hesitant expression caught King Ducasse's eye and made his gaze even moreprofound. Martha saw the director's expression and already knew what was going on. King Ducasse furrowed his handsome brows slightly and spoke with indifference in his voice."Speak. What are the results?" "These medicines contain banned substances too; the dose is small. But if someone takes them foran extended period of time, they can become seriously ill." After the director finished, he lowered his head and looked at the ground fearfully. King Ducasse put on a stern face with an icy look in his eyes, while Martha was completely certainthat Clark wanted to harm her grandmother! As they say, a tiger doesn't eat its own cubs but who would've thought that Clark would be soruthless towards his own biological mother? King Ducasse glanced sideways at one of his guards standing nearby before asking coldly, "Has
our men returned yet?" "Yes," answered the guard expressionlessly. King Ducasse waved for him to bring in their man. The guard nodded before leaving and returningwith someone dressed casually. The man knelt down respectfully upon seeing King Ducasse while speaking confidently, "YourGrace! We've investigated thoroughly now! Clark's pharmaceutical factory does indeed producebanned medication!" King Ducasses' eyes narrowed as anger began boiling within him! "Evidence?" The guard who got down on his knees immediately took out his phone from his pocketbefore handing it over. "I snuck in a secret factory. In its outer space is the assembly line where banned substances wereproduced, and its inner space is heavily guarded, and I can't get in." "Did you get the medicines?" King Ducasse's voice became more intense. The guard quickly took out some medicines from his pocket. "I snuck in and took these out during the night. I don't know if these are the medicines that YourMajesty is looking for."
