Chapter 189

While Thalia’s situation had stabilized–her life saved by the narrowest of margins–Andrew’s condition remained decidedly grim.

The doctors explained that Andrew had been poisoned over an extended period. The toxin had infiltrated his vital organs, and his condition was beyond medical intervention,

Upon hearing this devastating news, Lady Blackwood’s eyes rolled back, and she collapsed.

The following day, Catherine visited the prison.

Separated by glass, Grace sat in her prison uniform while Catherine took her seat on the visitor’s side. They communicated through corded telephones,

A mocking smile flashed across Grace’s face. “Mrs. Blackwood, wonders never cease. I never thought you’d come to see me.”

“If you did it, you’ll have left traces. The evidence will be found.”

“Hmm,” Grace’s smile radiated smug defiance. “So you have no evidence yet.”
