A One Night Stand With Mr. Goldman

Tiara POV.

When I walked inside the room, I saw Laurel sleeping on the bed.

I walked to him and woke him up, but he didn’t reply. I didn’t think too much.

I am sure he thinks I am with the family. That is why he is pretending to be unconscious.

I walked to him. I was alone in the room, so there is no need for you to present. I whispered to him.

Immediately, he opened his eyes and sat up on the bed.

How is everything downstairs? He asked.”

Things are fine.

Did the doctor tell everyone in the hall that I was dead? He asked

No, he just told everyone that you are in a coma, and he doesn’t know when you will wake up, but if you don’t wake up by tomorrow, that will only mean you have still not responding and anything could happen to you.

Well, that’s not bad. It is a good lie.

Yeah, because I was afraid that he would tell your father that you were dead. But thank God he didn’t. If not, your father would have died of high blood.

What did my stepmom and brother say?

Nothing, they were just looking disappointed, especially when the doctor said they were in a coma, but right now I am sure they are scared of their pants.

Why? Laurel asked.

Because I told dad you kept some hidden cameras around the area.

And he asked me to come get your laptop, so they could watch the footage and see what happened.

That means the normal mansion cameras were off? Laurel asked.

Yes, it was turned off.

I just knew they would turn off the cameras.

Well, you know where the laptop is and how to manipulate it. You can go get it. Laurel said.

I walked to his closet and took the laptop which was inside one of his drawer.

I have gotten it. I said to him the moment I got the laptop.

Let me go now.

Before, they suspected that something was wrong.

Can you remember the pin? He asked and I turned and looked at him.

Yes, I can.

It is the day we got married.

When I said that I could see him smiling, which was very strange because I have never seen him smile ever since I stepped my feet into this mansion and not to forget the fact that he is smiling at me?

Could my imagination be the one playing with me right now? I asked no one but myself.

Well, I will think about that later. Now is not the right time.

I walked out of the room with the laptop in my hands. When I got to the stairs, I could see the fear on both Allen’s and his mother’s faces.

I ignored them and walked to one of the tables and put the laptop there.

Then I turned on the laptop and went directly to the footage of today.

And turn it on, so everyone who is present in the party room should be able to watch it.

And it started when I took the wine to pour on Laurel’s suit.

But from the look of everyone, they never gave that particular part of the footage too much suspicion.

What moved them was when that same waiter came back with another glass of wine. And Laurel drank it.

Why is the part where Laurel and I exchange the drink not showing? Wait a minute, I am sure Laurel deleted that part before I went and collected the laptop from the room.

Thank God he deleted it. If not, they would have found out that everything was just preplanned something.

When they were done watching all the footage, I could see the shocking expressions of all the guest who were present.

My father-in-law summoned all the waiters who were at the party. He was looking for that particular waiter.

I could finally see her.

She was standing in the corner with her head down.

I am sure she was scared of the impact her actions had caused. My father-in-law walked up to her, pulled her by her clothes, and put her in front of everyone.

Who asked you to poison my son? He asked her.

Sir, I didn’t do it. I just gave Sir his glass of wine, that’s all. The waiter answered.

Are you sure about that? My stepmother asked while looking at her. I am sure she is trying to treat her, so she won’t call her name and that of her son.

Yes madam, I didn’t poison your son.

I don’t know what I have done wrong. I just gave your son his wine.

Madam, poured his wine on his suit, and she asked me to go get another one for her husband. I didn’t put anything into it, madam.

Wow!! I love this girl waiter. She wants to pass the blame on me right now.

She doesn’t know that I am wiser than her and that I have been in this game before her.

Alright, if you say you didn’t poison my husband, then let’s watch this other footage. I said and I put the kitchen footage on.

When the entire family was done watching, I could see the total shock on everyone’s faces.

Fear was written everywhere on the girl and not forgetting Allen and his mother.

Right now, they could not help her.

With the kitchen footage on, they could see how she was looking left and right and then pouring something inside the wine before coming out to give it to Laurel for the first time, before I mistakenly poured it on his suit.

And then the second time she did it again and brought it to Laurel, and he drank it.

And that made everyone turn and look at her, but she was already on the floor.

How dare you try to kill my son.

Who paid you to kill my son? Nina asked while she gave the waiter 2 sold slaps.

Poor waiter, after they have paid her to do their bites, and now here they are slapping the poor girl, so she won’t call their names.

But she doesn’t know she is inside another shock of her life.

After the kitchen footage, I turned and put in the corridor footage.

I could see the shock on their faces when they saw the corridor footage.

Tiara, don’t tell me you also have footage of the corridor. Laurel’s stepmother asked and I smiled and said

Mom, it was my husband who put some hidden cameras in the corridor and all the order places and told me it would be useful when the time comes since his enemies want to kill him.

Okay. She answered in a low tone.

Everyone could see the next scene,

Nina walked into a room and then Allen followed and later the Waiter.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

After they discussed for a while, Nina gave the waiter something which she took, and she then left the corridor and turned and warned her.

And then Allen followed suit before the waiter left, and I stopped the footage from playing.

Laurel’s Dad turns and looks at both his wife and Allen.

Nina, tell me what I just watched here is a lie. Dad said. Still in shock.

I am very sorry for keeping all of you here for this long, but it turns out we have found the culprit, so please I would like you to go home once again.

We are sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for attending my party.

I appreciate your coming here. He said, and all the guests then left the hall for their various homes.

There is just the waiter, a doctor, our family members and also some four police officers.

So Nina, please tell me it is not true, right? My father-in-law asked again.

What exactly do you want me to say, heh Goldman?

What are you saying?

Do you want to hear the truth? Then let me tell you. I paid the waiter to poison him, but what is making me angry is the fact that he survived. Nina said.

So you are saying you tried to kill my son.

Why? Why did you do that?

Yes, I have known you since you came into this mansion, and he had never been on good terms, which includes your son, but I try my best to make sure there is peace in the mansion.

I don’t understand why you would try to kill my son. Don’t you know you both will go to prison for your actions.

My father-in-law said while looking at both of them.

Did you just ask me why? You tell me ever since we got married what have you done for my child and me.

You have several companies instead of you, at least giving one of those companies to my son.

No, you gave everything to your son and gave my son 10 million to start a business on his own. Nina said

Did you just say I haven’t done anything for you and your son?

Have you forgotten I sent him to the best school here in Los Angeles? I adopted him as my son even though he is not and my son was against it.

Just because I loved you and now you tried to kill my son.

Just pray my son gets up. If not, I will never forgive you and your son.

So you are jealous because I gave Laurel all my properties.

Yes, I did because he was the person who made the companies what they are right now without anyone’s assistance.

And your son, where was he when my son was doing his best to make sure this family name didn’t go into the mud?

I know! He was out there having the best time of his life. And now you both had the mind to try to kill my son because of a share in my properties.

That will never happen, and you made a very big mistake by trying and killing my son.

Allen, if indeed you wanted to work with Laurel in companies, why didn’t you inform me? Rather than come up with this plan,

In fact, what happened to the 10 million I gave you to start up a business? Laurel’s dad asked Allen.

I invested it in a business.

Did you just say you invested it? It has been about 2 months now since you told me you invested the money and up to now you haven’t shown me the money.

Nina, look at the person you wanted me to hand my company to. Someone who could not take care of 10 million or could not open a business will he be able to control a large company like one of Goldman’s companies? Dad asked

And Nina was quiet.

I thought as much. Dad replied.
