Chapter 432: Chapter 432: Wipe Out All Traces
Does the poison really have such a miraculous effect?
Ann Vaughn nodded, then directly threw the bouquet onto a nearby table to avoid inhaling too much, "Have someone burn it as soon as possible, just keep a few stems as evidence."
Although Quinn had doubts, she still chose to trust Ann Vaughn and pressed the intercom to have the servant come in and burn the bouquet in the courtyard.
If at this moment they paid some attention to the live broadcast comments, they would already notice that Claire Hanson’s fans had flooded the screen.
"What a joke! Identifying poison with empty words? Who does she think she is, burning the flowers our Claire sent so casually? I’m really disappointed in Quinn! Two-faced!"
"Agree, Quinn and Claire are supposed to be good sisters, but instead they staged a drama claiming the flowers are poisoned? Don’t make me laugh, they’re just fake sisters!"
"I can’t believe it, that woman claiming Claire’s flowers are poisoned? Where does she come from speaking so harshly?"
"Burning flowers and claiming it’s evidence? Does she think she’s a cop? Sisters, let’s dig up information on this woman!"
This was the first time Best Actress Bellamy had started a live stream. Initially, the number of viewers floated around eight million. When Ann Vaughn mentioned burning the flowers, Claire Hanson’s fans rushed in en masse.
Of course, Quinn’s fans weren’t ones to be easily bullied and firmly retaliated against this group. For a moment, the comments section was a noisy mess.
Quinn also noticed something wrong in the live broadcast room, worrying that this might bring negative effects to Ann Vaughn. She was considering whether to simply shut down the live stream and apologize later.
But there was still an hour until the agreed off-air time with her fans...
"The poison in the flowers can briefly boost one’s spirits, but that’s actually an illusion. As you inhale more, it will lead to death unknowingly," Ann Vaughn’s brows furrowed tighter as she looked at the hesitant Quinn, "By then, even if the person dies, no issue can be found."
"You said you’ve been feeling unwell recently, but the scent of the flowers lifts your spirits and makes your complexion rosy - that’s the sign of impending poisoning. This type of poison was often used on death row inmates in the Royal Family of a certain country."
Death row inmates?!
Quinn’s eyes widened as she looked at Ann Vaughn, her hands and feet gradually turning cold, "I... I couldn’t have been poisoned already, could I?"
"Correct, and if found any later, you might already..." Ann Vaughn didn’t explain clearly, because as she turned her head, she noticed something wrong with the computer on the dressing table.
Staring closely, it turned out to be recording, and she just happened to be standing directly in front of the camera...
Ann Vaughn moved to a place out of the camera’s view, then said to the pale-faced Quinn, "Sister Quinn, better turn off your computer for now, the coming discussions may not be suitable for spreading."
Quinn was bewildered for a few seconds, apparently hadn’t reacted fully, but hearing Ann Vaughn’s words, she walked to the dressing table, ignoring fans’ requests to continue listening, and shut down the live stream.
"Annie, I..." Quinn opened her mouth, her expression complex and forlorn, ultimately turning into gnashing anger, "I thought she and I were very good sisters!"
But unexpectedly, the sister she regarded as close, Claire Hanson, mixed such a wicked intent into the bouquet called "sleep aid" she gifted!
Ann Vaughn sighed lightly, "Now isn’t the time to be angry. What I didn’t say earlier is that the poison contains hallucinogenic components, which won’t speed up your poisoning, but once you die, the forensic examination will reveal this."
And the hallucinogenic component within is poppy!
At that point, Quinn’s mysterious death would already be big news, but if it’s added that the Best Actress was using drugs?
Quinn’s good reputation since debut would turn into a lifetime of accusations along with her death!!
That’s even harder to accept than dying.
Quinn has faced all sorts of storms since her debut but persevered through them. With fame and prestigious awards she holds tightly, nothing has ever knocked her down.
But just thinking about nearly dying at the hands of a scheming sister, even her reputation being ruined!
How deeply does Claire Hanson hate her?
"If I don’t die, Claire Hanson definitely has more tricks to deal with me, those hallucinogenic components in the flowers are the best evidence..." Quinn, calmed herself, spoke steadily.
As expected from the current hottest dual-award Best Actress, she quickly regained rationality, not easily knocked down.
Ann Vaughn showed a hint of admiration, "Removing the toxins from your body is easy, but that earlier footage might have already been circulated by your fans, you’ll need to quickly have someone handle the public relations."
Quinn looked somewhat incredulous, "Can... the toxins in my body be removed?"
Ann Vaughn couldn’t just be comforting her, right? But it’s poppy!
"Yes." Ann Vaughn nodded with certainty, detoxifying is not a difficult matter for her.
Soon, Quinn’s manager sent the flowers for laboratory analysis, and the results were exactly as Ann Vaughn had said, though the primary toxin component was somewhat difficult to identify, requiring multiple tests to confirm.
This also validated Ann Vaughn’s previous statement, that even if Quinn died, the cause of death would be undetectable.
After Quinn completed a secret body check and saw the results, she hugged Ann Vaughn crying, "Without my resources, could Claire Hanson have reached where she is so quickly? I painstakingly cared, only to rear an ungrateful wolf in sheep’s clothing!"
Silas Kane stood nearby in silence for a while, then took his phone and went out.
Ann Vaughn, to some extent, could understand Quinn’s feelings; anyone deceived by an open yet intimate sister, taking such vicious measures to cut off all paths, would be overwhelmed.
Not to mention Quinn contributed many resources and connections for Claire Hanson’s growth; it could be said Claire’s current status was entirely built by Quinn.
But not only was she ungrateful, she wanted to eliminate her completely...
The entertainment industry is truly a terrifying place.
Thinking of this, Ann Vaughn couldn’t help but think of Wilder Sheridan, she later watched his filmed dramas, strangely finding his screen presence completely different from his real-life self.
Neither side seemed like his true self.
Once Quinn vented enough, she quickly regrouped and planned the following steps with her manager.
Ann Vaughn didn’t stay further, after giving the antidote to Silas Kane, advising him some precautions, she left the Levitt Family estate.
However, what she didn’t know was, the scenes from the live stream had already been spread across the entire network.
