Chapter 22 None Would Get Away

‘Soon enough, you will meet your doom,’ Nora thought.

Harriet took the chicken soup and discreetly inserted a silver needle into it while Nora wasn’t paying attention.

“This soup tastes awful. I don’t like it.”

“Are you messing with me?”

Nora angrily walked over and raised her hand to slap Harriet.
