Chapter 2071

Madam Quartley said sternly, "Tremaine, did you hear that? I had someone test the broth earlier, and it contains a potent poison! Are you still defending Yesseca with all the evidence and witnesses?" Tremaine's brows were tightly knotted.

After a moment, he suddenly asked, "Qiana, I want you to go through everything again and think about whether there could be anything that you're missing out on."

Qiana's eyes widened as if she really was thinking about it.

After a while, she raised her head and said, "I thought of something... could there be something wrong with the meat itself?"

As she spoke, her tone became more urgent. "Miss Cowell said that she was going to go to the market to get the meat for the broth. I found it odd at the time because there was meat in Quartley Palace. She was insistent, though." "There has to be something wrong with the meat, knowing how dirty the market is!"

Hearing Qiana's words, Madam Quartley was furious.

How could Qiana be so silly?

She immediately said, "All of the livestock in Nashaland has to be properly tested and checked. How can they have any poison in them?! Qiana, don't you get it? Yesseca went out of her way to get meat at the market so that she could take the chance to poison it, then use it as an excuse to rid herself of the blame!"

Qiana's face, which was already pale to begin with, became bloodless with Madam Quartley's words.

She mumbled to herself, "Miss Cowell... why would Miss Cowell do that? She said that she really likes Montez and I could see that she did!"

"Tremaine, Yesseca's locked up in her room now. Tell me what you're going to do with her!" Madam Quartley watched Tremaine closely.

A streak of light flashed in Tremaine's eyes.

"Grandma, we cannot base everything solely on what Qiana says," said Tremaine. "There is no conclusion to this matter yet."

After a while, Tremaine went to look for Montez.

Montez was lying in bed, looking dejected.

When he saw Tremaine, he said feebly, "Daddy."
