S21 15. Trapping Barbara

“Mom, I’m home!” Barbara entered Melanie’s room with a bright smile. Several shopping bags hung from her hands.

Instead of questioning Barbara’s job, Melanie greeted her happily.” You went shopping? Were you annoyed or too happy?”

The curve of Barbara’s lips turned sour. “Actually, both. I was annoyed because those kids gave me trouble. That’s why I went home early. But….”

Barbara opened one of the bags and took out a box. “I’m also happy because my mission went smoothly”

Seeing the package, Melanie’s eyes lit up. A small laugh escaped her mouth.

“Very good, My Daughter! Very good!

With great enthusiasm, Melanie opened the package. When she found a transparent ball containing pills, she held it with her fingertips as if it were a diamond.

“Look at this, Darling. With this, our goal will be easier to achieve.”

A second later, Melanie patted Barbara’s cheek. “Thank you, Dear. You have done your job well. Our weapons arrived safely.”

Barbara’s smile widened. However, remembering that the package had been left behind, her expression became flat again.

“But Mom, what medicine is it actually? You haven’t told me in detail. about your plans for this.”

Melanie suddenly froze. After a blink, she shook her head with a faint. smile.

One of Barbara’s eyebrows rose. “But she won’t die, right? It wouldn’t be funny if we both went to jail.”

Melanie sighed in amusement. “Of course not. I’m still sane.”

“Then, won’t she be suspicious? What if the food tastes different?”

Melanie fell silent again. After shaking her head quickly, she took her daughter’s hand. “Don’t think too much, Dear. Let’s just carry out this plan as best we can. Now, let’s help me crush these pills. I’ve already taken a mortar from the kitchen.”

Barbara’s brows were still furrowed. The bad feeling refused to leave her heart. Even so, she still obeyed Melanie, crushing the pills into a very fine powder.

Ten minutes before dinner, Melanie and Barbara arrived at the dining room. They seemed to be assigned to supervise the work of the servants. If the spoon was placed at the slightest angle, they would immediately protest. In fact, they were looking for an opporto take action.
