Regret Came Too Late

The two people who had caused a sensation at the banquet had already left, and the crowd slowly came back to their senses.

Daphne was standing cautiously next to Jodie. Upon seeing what had happened, Daphne quickly appeased Jodie. "Jodie, let me take you to the hospital. You need to get your hand bandaged."

It was Daphne who spiked Grace's wine tonight, and she did it under Jodie's instruction. Jodie had even arranged for Yancey to spend the night with Grace.
