Chapter 22 None Would Get Away

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

Once the needle was immersed in the soup, its color began to fade, confirming that the soup had indeed been poisoned.

Harriet put away the silver needle and gulped down the soup.

However, nothing happened as twenty seconds had passed.

Nora wondered if the drug was fake when Harriet spat out the soup and wrinkled her nose.

“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.
