Chapter 193

Two prison guards heard Malfoy confess to instructing Grace Bennett to poison Andrew,

Moreover, the entire meeting between Asher and Malfoy had been under police surveillance

As a detained suspect, Malfoy’s confession to directing Grace’s poisoning constituted criminal evidence. With this crucial testimony, the police investigation could proceed much more efficiently.

Simultaneously, Asher had assigned his people to assist the investigation, uncovering that a servant at the Blackwood residence had witnessed Grace adding something suspicious to Andrew’s health tonic

Following the principle that less trouble is better than more, the servant had kept quiet at the time.

Now that everything had come to light, and since Grace had long been expelled from the Blackwood family, the servant provided a detailed account when questioned by the police.

When this news reached Lady Blackwood, she was overcome with anguish.

“What a travesty! Truly a travesty!” Lady Blackwood beat her chest in despair. “I thought she was merely confused and manipulated by villains. I believed she wasn’t inherently wicked. Never did I imagine she would poison her own adoptive father!” Tears streamed from her clouded eyes.

“How could this happen? How could she be so vicious?” the elderly woman wailed.

Catherine sat by Lady Blackwood’s hospital bed, her expression contemptuous. “Mother, I warned you ages ago that Grace harbored impure intentions, but you dismissed my concerns.”

From the moment Grace had begun targeting Thalia, occasionally whispering disparaging remarks about her to Lady Blackwood, Catherine had cautioned the old woman about Grace’s dubious character. Lady Blackwood had completely disregarded these warnings.

In truth, Lady Blackwood had never particularly liked Catherine as a daughter–in–law.

Mother–in–law conflicts were as old as time, and aristocratic families were no exception.

Years ago, when Andrew had his affair, the old lady detested his mistress but simultaneously blamed Catherine.

In her view, Fiona was morally corrupt for seducing a married man–certainly no decent woman. But equally, Catherine was inadequate for failing to keep her husband in line.

During Andrew’s affair, Lady Blackwood had actually blamed Catherine more than Andrew. As the saying goes, “There’s no cat that doesn’t steal fish.” In Lady Blackwood’s eyes, Andrew had merely committed an error that all

men were prone to.
