Chapter 29


Allison hung up the phone and replayed the night's events in her mind. Why did Kate sneak into her room while she was showering? It couldn't be an innocent, casual look around, as Kate claimed. Kate must have had an ulterior motive.

Allison wandered around her room, inspecting the layout of her belongings. Aside from the shattered porcelain puppy, everything seemed in place—nothing appeared off. Then, her eyes fell on the glass of milk on the nightstand. She had a bedtime ritual of drinking a warm glass of milk. The housekeeper would heat it before her shower, and she would enjoy it afterward. The porcelain puppy had also been on the nightstand before it was broken. If Kate had smashed the puppy, she must have been lingering near the nightstand. Kate could very well have been tampered with that glass of milk.
