"How, how could you know?" Dolores was taken aback.

She narrowed her eyes when she realized what was going on the next second. "You've known all along but didn't tell me?"

"Don't think too much..." Matthew said, tightening his grip on her.

"I wasn't thinking too much, if you didn't know, how could you tell just now?"

Her thinking was becoming clearer now that she had overcome the initial stage of terror.

A notion like this went through her mind… Matthew had a reason to hide from her.

Was it Randolph, rather than Jessica that got into trouble? And Matthew kept it hidden from her because it had something to do with Jessica?

Jessica's plan to remarry Randolph was clear to her, and she had a purpose for it.

She regretted not stopping Jessica when she thought of this.

"How long has it been since it happened?" With her eyes lowered, she asked.

"Before the new year," Matthew said after a little pause.

That was a few days ago.

"Is there proof?" Dolores continued.

"Randolph ingested too much nitrate, and your mother has been cooking his meals all by herself, according to the maid."

She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

Why hadn't she seen Jessica's motive sooner? It was all remorse and guilt.

In the middle of the breezing night, Matthew stopped the car in front of the police station of City B.

Boyce was standing at the door, and when he saw their car approaching the gate, he took a step forward.

Dolores exited the car and paused at the door.
