Chapter 57
Tiffany knew that Regan had always been honest and couldn’t have intentionally harmed them.
That was why Tiffany only questioned her this way. Otherwise, in her fury, she would have sent Regan straight to prison.
Before Tiffany traveled back to this time, this was exactly how Sandra and her family succeeded. They ruined Tiffany’s brother and destroyed her entire family.
The tragedy was about to play out once again. Just a tiny misstep, and Tiffany would have lost her family all over again.
Tiffany was already showing remarkable restraint by not implicating the accomplice.
Thalia and Charlie exchanged confused glances and asked, “Tiffany, what exactly happened? Could this be some kind of misunderstanding?”
“There’s poison in this soup, deadly poison. Just a few sips would cause immediate death, no doubt about it,” Tiffany said.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
Tiffany’s words hit like a bombshell, leaving everyone in a daze, especially Charlie and Thalia, who were just about to drink the soup.
Their faces turned deathly pale.
Regan, meanwhile, struggled and cried out, “Miss Kelley, how can you accuse me like this? It’s really just nourishing clam chowder. If you don’t believe me, I’ll drink it myself. I’ll prove it!
She trembled as she reached for the spoon in the soup, ready to take a sip, but Tiffany knocked it away.
and the black box from the second drawer,” Tiffany said.
“Eric, go to my room get
Eric said, “Got it.”
Eric, who always listened to Tiffany, obeyed without question and quickly retrieved the black box.
Tiffany opened it and took out a thin silver needle, dipping it into the soup.
She was testing for poison.
Regan said bitterly, “Miss Kelley, I don’t know what I did to offend you, but you want to frame me with a needle. I…”
Before she could finish, the needle instantly turned black.
Everyone was stunned, especially Regan, whose eyes widened in disbelief, her face turning pale.
Tiffany used the needle to test the poison, not to frame her but to save her life and show her the truth clearly. The soup was poisoned.
Tiffany sneered, “Still want to drink?”
Regan said, “Miss… I… I didn’t mean it. I really didn’t know…”
Tiffany said, “Then tell me everything you do know.”
Tiffany had mentioned Stan and Selena, and Charlie finally grasped what was going on. He asked, visibly shaken, “Tiffany, are you saying this was Stan’s doing?”
Tiffany said nothing, but Regan confessed everything, including the remaining toxic “mushroom.”
“What I said is the absolute truth,” Regan cried. “Sir, Ma’am, Miss, please believe me. Selena deceived me. Otherwise, how would I dare do something so heinous?”
Charlie’s forehead veins bulged in anger when he heard that.
This was inhuman.
Thalia, still in shock, trembled with rage and said, “For so many years, we have treated them well. Wasn’t that enough? Even a dog knows to wag its tail after getting a bone. But this family? They are heartless and cruel.
“They poisoned us with the intent to kill. What’s behind this? We don’t need to think hard to figure it out.”
Overwhelmed, Thalia felt dizzy and took a few steps back.
Eric quickly supported her, comforting her. “Mom, don’t stress yourself out. They’re not worth it.”
It was indeed not worth it.
Charlie, feeling both guilty and angry, consoled his wife. “Don’t worry, dear. This time I won’t be softheartened. I’ll make my brother.” sure they will be sent to prison. From now on, Stan will no longer be
Thalia was still upset, even blaming Charlie for his earlier softness. If he hadn’t taken them in, they wouldn’t have ever plotted against them.
Seeing that Thalia was still upset, Charlie was at a loss, but he suddenly asked Tiffany, “Sweetheart, when did you realize they were so malicious?”
“A long time ago,” Tiffany said, smiling slightly. “When they first plotted to embezzle company funds, when they sabotaged your car brakes, and when they poisoned us.”
One instance after another, each scheme and plot made the blood run cold.
Charlie was stunned. That time when the car fell into the river, it sank to the bottom and was left unattended, so it was ruled as an accident.
Little did they know, it was actually part of Selena and Charlie’s scheme.
When she saw the disbelief in her father’s eyes, Tiffany’s smile faded, and she asked seriously, “Dad, now that you know, will still you go easy on them?”
After Tiffany’s kidnapping, she had asked her father a similar question, but he hadn’t taken it seriously. Now that tragedy had almost struck again, Tiffany just wanted to know what he thought.
After a long silence, Charlie sighed deeply, “Sweetheart, I’m sorry. I’ve let you all down by being too lenient. But not anymore.”
“What will you do?” Tiffany asked.
Charlie said, “With evidence and witnesses, I’ll send Stan and Selena to jail. They’ll never get out.”
Charlie spoke with conviction as he began to make arrangements.
Tiffany didn’t stop him, nor did she tell him that she’d already arranged for Stan to be secretly captured.
Her reason was simple. Putting him in jail would be too kind.
She wanted an eye for an eye.
Outside Cedar Ridge Villa, Stan had been watching for a while.
Stan thought, ‘By this time, they should have finished eating, and the poison would have taken effect, causing them all to die. on the spot.
At this hour, the staff should be panicking, either calling for help or rushing out. But nothing happened.
Cedar Ridge Villa remained calm and peaceful.
Worried that waiting any longer might cause his plan to fail again. Stan got out of his car, intending to scout the area. If no one was outside, he would start the fire.
But before he could take a step, a shadow loomed over him.
Stan turned around, only to be struck unconscious before he could see who or what hit him.
His gasoline-laden car was quietly driven away.
That night, despite Charlie’s attempts, Stan couldn’t be found. He had vanished without a trace.
As for Selena, she sensed something was off and fled early, leaving behind only a pile of trash in her rental.
Although they couldn’t catch her, she remained a wanted fugitive.
The only one left behind was Sandra, who stayed at school, behaving herself and avoiding any involvement.
But her father’s sins must be repaid by herself. Charlie couldn’t find fault with Sandra, but he still disowned her from the Kelley family.
Thalia and Eric both approved of this.
Eric clapped happily. “Finally, they’re gone. The air feels fresher already.”
Tiffany, however, said nothing.
To her, it wasn’t enough.
Tiffany thought, ‘Sandra wants to climb her way up in life, doesn’t she?’
Tiffany’s eyes gleamed with a smile.
She would grant Sandra’s wish.
