Edith and Lilian were both startled Who would dare to harm the daughter of the richest man How bold
Horace quickly soothed her Who poisoned you
Jessica pointed directly at Wendy It was Wendy
Wendy didn t show any surprise She had expected Jessica to accuse her
Everyone s eyes turned toward Wendy

Horace furrowed his brows but remained silent
Wendy stepped forward her gaze unwavering as she looked at Jessica Do you have any evidence I did what you said
I talked to you that day and shortly after I got poisoned It had to be you Jessica replied confidently
Wendy raised an eyebrow
So let me get this straight she said her tone calm yet sharp You have no evidence just a guess You need evidence in a court of law If you keep accusing me without proof I might just have to sue you for defamation
