"What about the security camera footage?" Carla asked coldly.
"We're getting it right now. I'll send it over to your phone in a bit. Do you want me to come back now?" Rogan said.
"Wait till I finish viewing the footage."
"All right."
Carla received the security camera footage from Seacrest Restaurant moments after hanging up, and everything seemed just fine.
That was until she noticed Selena gently bump into the restaurant owner when he was bringing some tea to the kitchen.
The only thing Venus did last night that her brothers didn't was she drank this tea!
With that in mind, Carla paused the footage and went over the scene frame by frame, but was unable to see anything odd about Selena's actions whatsoever. I don't know if the screen is too small or if she's simply too fast, but my gut instinct is telling me that there's something wrong with this woman!
Carla then called Rogan back immediately, "Have the restaurant owner bring us the teacups and teapot he served the tea with last night. Oh, and ask him if he remembers seeing Selena drop anything into the teacups!"
"Understood!" Rogan hung up the phone and went off to carry out her orders.
"Are you suspecting Selena, Ms. Lierger? I knew there was something off about that woman! She looks all gentle and weak on the outside, but she's got a cunning look in her eyes!" Freda asked.
Carla's frown deepened. "I can't say for sure as we don't have any solid evidence yet, but she'll have hell to pay if I find out that she's the one who poisoned Venus!"
Freda clenched her teeth in anger. "This b_tch better pray we don't find any evidence against her!"
"That's enough. Have someone keep a tight lid on the news of this incident. We need to make sure that not a word of it gets out, so I'm putting you in charge of this. I'm going to meet up with Rogan at the Seacrest Restaurant now, " Carla said while glancing at her watch.
"Roger!"
While Carla was busy investigating Venus's poisoning, Selena managed to have Venus puke up some poison along with some blood.
Venus began crying in a hoarse voice moments later, but any and all signs of life from her came as music to everyone's ears.
"Oh, god… Venus is awake! You're really amazing, Ms. Benday!" Naya exclaimed with tears in her eyes.
Selena let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat off her forehead before slumping weakly to the floor.
"Ms. Benday!" A few of the medical staff quickly helped her to her feet, feeling nothing but respect and admiration for her accomplishment.
"What happened?" Zayn asked anxiously from outside.
"Venus is awake! Things are starting to look better now! We'll proceed with the next step of the treatment right away! Rest assured that her condition is stabilized now!" Naya shed tears of joy as she delivered
the news to them.
"Thank goodness…" Zayn breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, that's great… We should've had Selena come over sooner!" Thompson said excitedly.
"Yeah! I told you, Selena's medical skills are top-notch! We're all family here, so just feel free to consult her if anything happens!"
Layon was ecstatic as he felt like they had successfully become a part of the Giblo family.
"Ms. Benday? Are you all right, Ms. Benday?" the medical staff asked as they helped a pale and exhausted Selena out of the ICU.
"What happened to her?" Thompson asked.
"She's probably exhausted after tending to Ms. Venus for three hours straight while severely wounded, " the medical staff replied.
"Hurry up and get her somewhere she can rest. Wouldn't want her to be the next to collapse now!"
Layon stepped forward to hold Selena steady. "Yeah! Zayn and Venus are still counting on you to complete their treatment, so you need to take good care of yourself! Isn't that right, Zayn?"
Zayn nodded and flashed Selena a grateful smile as he said, "Yeah… Thank you, Selena. I'll repay you generously for this!"
