Chapter 1074

Zada’s hands were shaking as she said, “The doctor ran the tests. It’s true, Halsey was poisoned. And the poison came from the chicken soup I made.”

“But you were the one who made it!” Sierra shot back, her tone sharp but controlled.

Zada turned toward her. “Yeah, I made it, but you were there, too! You showed up while I was cooking.”

Sierra’s stomach dropped. Was Zada suspecting her?
