Chapter 190: Surprise Comeback
At the Harrison mansion,
The atmosphere was gloomy, with the faint clinks of cutlery against plates breaking the heavy silence. Everyone tried to focus on their breakfast, but no matter how much they chewed, the food sat uneasily in their stomachs, causing it to churn. The tension in the air was palpable, making each bite feel forced and heavy, as if they were swallowing more than just food—swallowing secrets and unspoken truths.

"I wanted to poison her, mother. I was able to get poison from the black market, and I put it in her drink, but she found out about it," Michelle replied.
"What? How did she find out about it?!"
