The young lady’s lips parted. “I-I have no idea.”

Elspeth narrowed her eyes. “You have no idea? Then who gave you this and made you do it?”

The young lady turned pale. “I-It was a stranger who made me do it. She said the grass would cause diarrhea, which could then cause the filming to be postponed. But I never thought it’d cause poisoning—”

Elspeth let out a laugh. “How much were you paid to do this?”

“A hundred thousand in cash.”

Just a hundred thousand in cash? That’s so stingy of Emma, thought Elspeth. “What’s your name?”

The young lady hemmed and hawed for a moment. Nevertheless, she answered honestly, “My name’s Alicia Thornton.”

Figuring out what had happened, Elspeth shook her head in resignation. “I called the police just now. You’d better turn yourself in; perhaps you’ll get a lighter sentence.”

I’m going to jail… Alicia broke down at once; she slumped to the ground and burst into loud sobs.

Elspeth was in no mood to hear her wailing, though. Instead, she dialed Callum’s number.

“What’s the matter?” Callum sounded cool and distant over the phone.

Elspeth’s chilly voice sounded even more heartless than the man’s. “Please tell Emma that I won’t let her off if she does something against my interests again.”

Callum’s imperturbable voice finally showed a hint of emotion when he noticed that something was wrong with her voice. “Did she do anything again?”
