Bailey stood at the entrance to the compound and stared intently at Beatrice. After a pause, she spoke through her clenched teeth and asked, “Did you start that fire?”

“Me?” Beatrice pointed to herself, then laugh hysterically and added, “Would you believe me if I said your mother was the one who started the fire?”

Bailey's stare became colder and more piercing as her eyes bore straight into Beatrice.

“I thought Madam Wenlock is an adult and would say something sensible,” she grunted.

Beatrice squinted her eyes and said, “Oh, you don't believe me? I totally understand how you feel. No one will want to believe something like that. Alas, the truth is that your mother started that fire herself! She wanted to commit suicide as that was the only way for her to take the secret to her grave! It was a shocking secret, and she died because she found out about it!”

Hearing that, Bailey became tense and nervous.

She started recalling the events that led to her mother's death, and she wasn't so certain of her earlier belief anymore.

If it was murder, there should be traces of evidence left behind by the murderer. However, despite all the efforts she put into the investigation for the past few years, she could not find a single clue. She couldn't help but wonder if what Beatrice said was true.

“What's the secret? What happened back then?” she demanded.

Beatrice smirked and mocked, “What's the secret? It was something shameful, of course! She was worried she would be condemned if others knew about the matter. She chose to end her own life as that was the only way she could be freed from that fear of being exposed!”

Bailey was about to take a step into the compound when she suddenly felt a gush of heat rising from within her.

This is...

She quickly overruled her own suspicion, relaxed her tensed muscles, and tried to take another step. Alas, the next hot flush was even more intense than the previous one.

Bailey was a full-grown woman with sexual experience, so she knew exactly what was happening.

What puzzled her was that she had not taken any food or drinks after she reached the Jefferson residence, so she had no idea how she was drugged.
