Chapter 419 Accusation

Suzanna's mind raced as she tried to stop the blood pouring from Cameron's legs. Her vanity had led her here. It was her need to overshadow Melody that had made her go live in the first place.

Now, the situation she had orchestrated for Melody was spiraling out of control.

When Cameron's voice broke through the panic, Suzanna froze. His words were quiet but cutting, striking her with a painful clarity.

She quickly lifted her head, trying to look innocent. Her eyes, already heavy with tears, seemed to plead for sympathy.

Her lips trembled, though she forced herself to speak.

"The incense Cameron uses to sleep-Slumber Incense' has always been made by Melody," the woman stated.

The voice was familiar but stern, echoing through the room. Suzanna turned, startled.

"When Melody left, she was concerned about me being too old to sleep at night. So, she left some

incense for me in the servant's quarters. The Shields might have burned down, but that shack still stands. As I was cleaning up for the move, I found all the incense Melody had left... was gone."
