The One Who Poisoned Him Was Megan Sterling

Ruby Sterling lifted her eyes to look at Julian Sterling, but unfortunately there was no expression on his face. He looked calm and detached, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking at all, which made her start to get anxious.

She couldn't help asking, "Bro, after hearing what Claire said, don't you feel anything at all?"

Julian Sterling lowered his eyes, and a trace of tenderness flashed through their deep depths. He responded softly, "Mm, I know."

He looked at Ruby Sterling. "You don't need to worry about this anymore. Since Claire doesn't want to sign, then forget it. I may run into some trouble on my end, but it doesn't matter. Cameron Quinn will protect you well. From now on, you're part of the Quinn family. No matter how the Sterling family changes, you don't need to worry too much."

"Bro!" Ruby Sterling almost burst into tears.

Why did she feel like Julian Sterling was trying to take everything onto himself, then make sure all the people around him that he cared about were properly arranged for? But what about himself?

At that thought, Ruby Sterling began to feel heartbroken for Julian Sterling, and her eyes gradually reddened.

"Bro, I'm not married yet, so I don't count as part of the Quinn family. Right now I'm still the Sterling family's eldest daughter. You can't drive me away. I want to advance and retreat with you."

Julian Sterling curled his lips into a smile. "All right, stop making trouble. I already called Cameron Quinn just now. He'll be here soon. Go get yourself ready."

At that moment, Julian Sterling's phone rang. He swiped to answer it. "Hello."

"Mr. Sterling, the professional overseas medical team you asked me to find has already arrived. They're consulting on the old master's case right now..."

"Mm, I'll be right over."

After ending the call, Julian Sterling picked up his coat and walked outside.

...

Hospital ward.

Julian Sterling met with the medical team. The lead physician, Dr. Lee, was briefing Julian Sterling on Old Mr. Sterling's condition. He said, "Mr. Sterling, we've almost finished dialyzing the toxins out of the old master's body. Once the toxins are completely cleared in the next two days, he'll be able to wake up."

"Mm, got it."

There was obvious relief in Julian Sterling's eyes. At least one good thing had finally happened.

Marcus Reed walked to Julian Sterling's side and lowered his voice, whispering in his ear, "Mr. Sterling, we've gotten almost everything out of the maid. At first she clamped her mouth shut and refused to talk, but later I found her family, and only then was she willing to tell me that the person who instructed her to poison him was Megan Sterling..."

Julian Sterling's brows knit slightly. He had considered many people, but he had never imagined that the one who poisoned him would be Megan Sterling. Why would she do this?

Before Julian Sterling could speak, Old Mr. Sterling's nurse in the ward came running over and said excitedly, "Mr. Sterling, Old Mr. Sterling is awake!"

Julian Sterling put away all his thoughts and walked toward the ward.

At that moment, inside the ward, Old Mrs. Sterling was standing by the bed, looking at Old Mr. Sterling, who had already woken up, wiping away tears nonstop as she repeatedly said, "It's good that you're awake. I was afraid something had really happened."

Old Mr. Sterling was still rather weak, and he wasn't really able to speak either.

He only struggled to lift his eyes and look at Old Mrs. Sterling, as if he wanted to tell her not to worry, but he couldn't get the words out and could only anxiously dart his eyes around.

Julian Sterling walked forward and gently patted Old Mrs. Sterling's shoulder. "Grandma, the doctor already said just now that Grandpa's condition has stabilized. You don't need to worry too much either. I believe Grandpa will recover soon."

After Old Mr. Sterling saw Julian Sterling, he seemed to think of something. He lifted a hand and pointed at the chair beside him, signaling for Julian Sterling to sit down and talk.

"Grandpa, how are you feeling?" Julian Sterling sat down in the chair.

Old Mr. Sterling opened his mouth, and after a long while managed to say two words: "Ster... Sterling Group..."

"Grandpa, are you asking about Sterling Group's situation?"

Old Mr. Sterling nodded heavily. He knew the members of the Sterling family never gave way to one another. Setting aside who had been behind his sudden accident this time, once he fell unconscious, the Sterling family was bound to descend into chaos. The people he had usually kept suppressed would absolutely never let such a good opportunity slip by.
