As Joshua spoke, he staggered backwards, spitting out a mouthful of blood into the wastebasket. A small shard of glass was visible in the blood. His expression darkened as he tilted the bowl in his hand, revealing more shards sitting at the bottom.

The room was plunged into chaos.

Shelia ran to his side, her voice worried. “You're bleeding! How is that possible? “Let me see where you’re hurt.”

Joshua's face twisted in fury as his gaze shifted to Georgia, who looked more than a little guilty. “Would you mind explaining to me why there are shards of glass in the soup?”

Georgia, as cunning as ever, feigned innocence. “Glass shards? How is that possible?”

Alicia, seizing the opportunity, played along. She stepped back, trembling, pretending her legs were weak from shock. “If Joshua had swallowed that… his throat would have been torn out!” she gasped, grabbing his arm with a look of genuine concern. “Did you swallow something? Are you okay?”

Joshua’s tense expression softened slightly. "No." Shelia exhaled in relief, but her eyes remained fixed on Georgia.
