Chapter 91

Helena finally understood why she was being tortured. It wasn’t because she went against the Duke’s orders and used poison. It was because the Duke, for some reason, thought that the poison she ordered got into a person he cared about. The Duke had feelings for the woman who was with the King!

Greg scoffed, which brought Tanner out of her thoughts. His eyes bore into hers as he said, “And you thought she was an accessory. Goddess, Tanner. You’re a bigger idiot than I thought you were.”

“I didn’t kill her. I didn’t. I never sent anyone after her.” She repeated in dismay.

“Who did you send Brown to kill? Be specific this time.”

“T-The instructions I gave w-was to g-get t-to one of th-their children. A toddler.”

Greg’s features hardened again. He would be the first to admit that he was a horrible person but he would never go after a minor. Tanner’s children were way past eighteen so they were technically within his reach. “You sent him after a child?” He asked in disbelief, and she nodded while averting her gaze from his.

He started thinking again, recalling the scene at the hospital. He did see a toddler next to that now -infertile Duchess. He thought that his distant cousin had adopted a son. But now that he thought about it, he wondered if that boy was the one Brown was after. He faced Tanner again and asked,” How was the child supposed to be eliminated?”

“O-Oleander.”

“How much?”

“I-I don’t know. B-But he said that it would be m-more than e-enough.”

Greg shook his head in disgust as he uttered demeaningly, “What a coward you are, Tanner. Lost the adults and now after their minor. An easier target, I suppose.”

She kept insisting, “I didn’t do that to the Queen. I didn’t. It wasn’t my contract. Brown was probably acting on another client’s instructions.”

spoke patronizingly, “You don’t really know anything, do you, Tanner? You don’t know how to take precautions. You can’t cover your tracks. You don’t know how to avoid using poison. F*ck, you don’t even know who to hire as a proper
