Chapter 1085
The secretary was even more panicked than Zoe, quickly dialing Nash's number, but the line was constantly busy.
"Enough, stop calling. Dial for an ambulance immediately and tell them someone has been drugged."
"Manager Zoe, who's been drugged? What's going on? I prepared the tea myself. I didn't do anything. Please believe me, I really didn't do anything," the secretary pleaded, clutching Zoe's hand. Zoe, overwhelmed, pushed her aside.
A loud noise came from the meeting room.
Zoe rushed over and opened the door. She saw Eugene lying on the floor, having knocked over a chair, writhing in pain.
"Don't come near me! Damn it, Nash really played dirty, using such a strong drug."Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
"I... I'm calling an ambulance right now. Hang on!" Zoe stammered. She quickly shut the door and instructed the secretary to call for an ambulance again.
When the ambulance arrived, so did reporters. It seemed they had gotten wind of the situation, and as soon as the paramedics carried Eugene out, the photographers went wild, snapping pictures furiously. "Mr. Lowe, were you drugged? Who did this to you?"
"Mr. Lowe, the Lowe Corporation and York Corporation haven't had any business dealings before. What brought you here today, and why were you drugged?"
"Mr. Lowe, do you know what kind of drug was used on you?"
The questions came at him relentlessly, but Eugene couldn't say a word. He wanted to explain, but every word stuck in his throat.
If he defended York Corporation, he would feel resentful. If he didn't defend them, he worried Zoe would be upset.
In the end, he chose to say nothing and urged the doctors to hurry and get him into the ambulance.
The news quickly made headlines, becoming a hot topic.
Nash only found out about it when he received a call from Nina. By the time he returned to the top floor, the doctors and nurses were gone. Zoe was waiting for him in the office.
"Aunt Zoe," Nash greeted her as he walked over and sat down.
Zoe glanced at him with narrowed eyes and forced a smile. "Nash, I've always treated you well, haven't I? Was it really necessary to ruin me like this?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, Aunt Zoe. Yes, I tricked Eugene into coming here by telling him you were at the office, but my intention was for him to meet with me. The Lowe Corporation has a client looking to collaborate with us, and I thought there was something suspicious about it, so..."
"So you drugged Eugene's tea, hoping something would happen between him and me, and then use that to blackmail him, right?" Zoe was livid, her eyes fixed on Nash as she repeated her question, "Is that what you did, Mr. York?"
"No, I didn't arrange anything like that."
Nash called the secretary to inquire about the situation. When he learned that the secretary had personally prepared the tea, his confusion deepened.
The secretary wouldn't have dared do such a thing, so the only explanation was that someone else had entered the meeting room.
"I'll get to the bottom of this. Aunt Zoe, you should go home and rest. I'll inform you as soon as I have the results."
Nash wanted to check the security
footage. Surely, it would reveal who had tampered with the tea. It was solid plan After all, the building was filled with cameras, and the meeting room alone had two. He was confident the truth would come out.
Zoe was still fuming, but after witnessing how Nash had dealt with Sally, she didn't dare go against him.
"But you should handle the PR for this, right? If this continues, it will only harm York Corporation," Zoe reminded Nash as she reached the door, thinking about the news coverage.
Nash didn't respond, waiting until she had left before rising and sitting down at his desk. He entered a password, turned on his laptop, and swiftly opened the security software. After a moment's thought, he pulled up the footage from an hour earlier.
