The young lady’s lips parted. “I-I have no idea.”

Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “You have no idea? Then who gave you this and made you do it?”

The young lady turned pale. “I-It was a stranger who made me do it. She said the grass would cause diarrhea, which could then cause the filming to be postponed. But I never thought it’d cause poisoning—”

Elspeth let out a laugh. “How much were you paid to do this?”

“A hundred thousand in cash.”

The young lady hemmed and hawed for a moment. Nevertheless, she answered honestly, “My name’s Alicia Thornton.”

Figuring out what had happened, Elspeth shook her head in resignation. “I called the police just now. You’d better turn yourself in; perhaps you’ll get a lighter sentence.”

Callum’s imperturbable voice finally showed a hint of emotion when he noticed that something was wrong with her voice. “Did she do anything again?”
