Chapter 1661: Success in Obtaining Evidence
Before Jolie could respond, two people came in from the door. They respectfully bowed and reported,
"Your Majesty, there is news that Mr. Marsh is already on his way back to Lu Layeka."
"He's back so soon?" Catherine was surprised and very pleased. "It's only the second day, isn't it? noveldrama
Christmas is very important to them, they need to be with their families. Are you sure the news is
accurate?"
"Absolutely, it was said by his team's architect. He has already set off."
At this time, Jolie spoke up, "Your Majesty, perhaps Mr. Marsh feels that working with you is more
important than being with his family?"
Hearing this, Catherine was incredibly happy inside, and the frown on her brow relaxed a lot. She no
longer dwelled on Prince Louis' matter.
And Jolie did not take investigating Claire to heart either.
Early morning.
In the majestic and magnificent royal palace, in the stately and classical private dining room, the door
was already closed.
Claire sat across from the King, the table was filled with all kinds of exquisite and delicious food.
Claire's breakfast was separate from the King's, even the colors of the plates were different, meaning
they were served separately.
Was there poison in the food before the King?
This was a worrying question for Claire.
There was still no result from Rowan's side... it was really too slow, with simple equipment and Ivan not
coming over, how much longer could the King last?
His health deteriorated day after day.
Claire suddenly felt a sense of worry for the country and people.
She would rather go hungry herself. She stood up and switched her milk with the King's, and also
swapped some of the food on their plates.
This old man was Rowan's father! She could no longer watch him continue to eat poisoned food!
The King was slightly surprised and looked up at her, but did not stop her.
"Your Majesty," Claire said softly without explaining, pleading, "Please have mine, I haven't touched it
with my fork yet."
And the King understood her intention very clearly. He was also very clear about her relationship with
his son.
Bringing her in was also to facilitate her evidence collection, cooperating with his son's investigation.
But he did not communicate it openly, worried it would draw outside attention.
The King also believed his health would not suddenly deteriorate immediately.
Their eyes met, Claire's throat tightened a little, she was undoubtedly nervous.
The King did not say anything, he just took out some small handkerchiefs from the drawer and handed
them to her, "You can use these to collect samples."
Claire was shocked, filled with disbelief inside, but she looked at him very calmly on the surface.
Could it be that the King knew her identity?
Did Rowan find a chance to tell him?
The King did not want her to feel pressured, so he picked up the milk she passed to him and drank a
sip calmly, then ate the breakfast that originally belonged to her.
Claire also did not delay, she looked cautiously at the door, then quickly took samples from the served
food.
Her actions were very skilled, she was capable.
The sampling was done quickly. She directly put the small handkerchiefs containing the food into her
pocket, as if the King did not even notice.
The King was still eating breakfast.
And she did not ingest these likely poisoned foods.
The King handed her a sandwich, she reached out to take it, still not saying anything.
Their eyes met, Claire's gaze toward him was full of gratitude, then she ate very quietly.
But... the King's food should also show signs of being eaten, so she poured half the milk into an empty
cup, and tore the bread in half, making the food look touched.
The two did not exchange many words throughout, but cooperated very tacitly, both assisting Rowan.
