She never thought Roberta would poison herself instead..
Kayla had been feeling unsettled because of what Felicia said earlier. She snapped when she received a response like that from Talia.
“Didn’t you say Roberta was like a dog that would follow your every order obediently? Look at what happened now. She bit you!”
“How dare you say that? If it weren’t because you said we needed to teach her a lesson and had me threaten her mom at the sanatorium, would her mom have killed herself?”
Talia rolled her eyes and scoffed. “If it weren’t because of your stupid idea, things wouldn’t
have turned out like this!”
“I told you to threaten her mom because I wanted to make Roberta more obedient. Couldn’t you tell that Roberta had been getting rebellious lately? I never told you to drive her to the point of suicide, though!” Kayla refuted and stood her ground.
The two partners who had worked closely together all along were now turning against each
other.
Talia could feel her head throb painfully. There was no point in arguing about the what-ifs.
She thought she had Roberta in her hands with those videos in her possession. No woman would want to have these materials of themselves in a vulnerable situation exposed to the public.
That was why Talia never expected Roberta to choose to end things with such defiance and resoluteness.
It was somewhat understandable since those videos no longer held any value for her with Roberta dead.
Kayla had a grim expression. “That’s not what’s important now. What matters more is what proof Felicia has!
“You need to think carefully. When you met with Roberta, could she have recorded a video or a voice recording of what you spoke to her about?”
“That’s not possible,” Talia replied firmly. “she lacked the nerve. Besides, I never let her use the phone.”
“That’s good to know.” Kayla felt slightly relieved.
In that case, there was a good chance Felicia was trying to trick them by saying that she had proof.

As long as Kayla and Talia remained calm and composed, others would only be able to conclude Roberta’s death was an accident.
Since she still felt quite uneasy, Kayla reminded Talia several times about the things she should take note of. The two of them matched up their stories and made sure nothing about. them would arouse suspicion. They finally felt more at ease after doing all that.
As soon as they relaxed, the wounds on their foreheads started throbbing painfully again.
Talia had never suffered such great humiliation, where she was forced to grovel to someone
else.
“Damn it! Roberta used up the poison we had. Would we even be able to get another good opportunity to get rid of Felicia?
“Felicia Fuller… You better pray that you won’t end up in my hands. If you do, I’m definitely going to give you a hard time!”
Talia muttered those words through gritted teeth. When she turned her head, she saw that Kayla was not trying to clean or treat her wound.
Instead, she applied some pressure to the wound, causing blood to ooze out of the cuts on her forehead.
“What are you doing?”
Kayla curled her lips. “I need to earn sympathy, don’t I?”
Dexter and Myra would be there soon. Kayla had to seize the opportunity to appear pitiful and gain their affection and attention.
Talia clicked her tongue. “You’re ruthless enough to do this to yourself, huh?”
Kayla grinned. “I can be even more ruthless if the situation calls for it.”
She would do anything just to achieve her goals.
Soon enough, Noah’s family and Jake arrived at the house after receiving news of Clive’s orders. A while later, Myra and Sebastian arrived too.
Save for Dexter, who was occupied with the matter of taking the bridge apart, pretty much everyone was there.
After arriving at the Walsh residence, Myra spotted the bloody wound on Kayla’s forehead almost instantly. She was shocked and worried, quickly asking, “Kay, how did you get hurt? What happened?” With a dejected expression, Kayla remained silent. However, her gaze seemed to be drifting toward Felicia’s direction.
Chingine
She was hinting that Felicia had caused the injury.
