Cristina shot her a cold glare. “What, did you actually want me dead?”

“Of course not,” Agnes murmured. Then, looking at Cristina’s disheveled, feverish face, she shook her head. “Forget it. Get some rest. We’ll think of something else.”

As she stepped outside, her expression twisted with frustration.

“What a useless fool,” she spat under her breath.

Mell, her trusted maid from the Felton family, followed closely. “What happened?”

but look at her. She’s full of energy–probably has more strength than I do! Who’s going to believe she actually tried to kill herself? She made such a half- hearted mess of it that it accomplished nothing. If she’d caused a big enough stir, Allan might have been forced to intervene. He values his reputation, after all. There was a real chance he’d have declared her a concubine just to avoid scandal. Now
