Her actions had plunged the entire witch clan into chaos for the sake of her obsession, even stooping so low as to kidnap an innocent baby only a few months old. Her actions were despicable.
Caleb nodded in agreement and asked further, Then what proof do you have to suspect them?
With a complex expression, Andrew glanced at me and whispered, It struck me as odd that Debra was drugged last night. So, right after I got back to the manor, I detained everyone Debra had met yesterday and had them thrown into the dungeon for questioning. Nora, who has been looking after Abby, has confessed
I felt a wave of sadness as I frowned. My suspicions were correct; it was indeed Nora. But why would she drug me? I couldnt recall ever wronging her.
Andrew continued, Nora confessed that Shirley had paid her a lot of money to drug Debra. Shirley also arranged for several bodyguards to watch over Debra, claiming that once I saw Debra being rped by those guards, I would despise her forever. Shirley believed that no man could love a woman who had been tainted.
After revealing this, Andrew ran his fingers through his hair in a guilty manner, unable to even look at me. Im so sorry. The trouble youve faced in the witch clan is all because of me.
I remained silent, utterly stunned by the cruelty of Shirleys plan and Noras treachery.

It was hard to believe that Nora, who was always by my side, could be capable of such deceit.
Calebs expression was grim, and he shot Andrew an angry look.
With determination, Andrew assured us, Dont worry. I take full responsibility. Ill ensure Abby is returned safely. If anything happens to her, you have my permission to punish me as you see fit.
Caleb and I remained speechless.
Perhaps to convince us of his resolve, Andrew ordered one of his men to bring in Nora, who by then was visibly battered and bloodied.

IT was taken aback when I saw Nora.
Her hair was a mess, and her clothes, torn by various implements of torture, hung loosely on her, barely covering her. Her face and attire were smeared with blood, and her exposed skin was riddled with wounds. She looked dreadful. It was hard to believe she had been fine just the day before.
When Nora noticed me, she froze for a moment, then quickly knelt and crawled towards me, weeping and apologizing. Im sorry Sorry I didnt mean to drug you But Shirley is too cruel..
I couldnt help but frown. I had known Nora for a long time, and she had always taken good care of Abby. My heart softened, and I asked, Did Shirley force you to do it?
Nora sobbed even more as she continued, If it were just me Shirley wanted to hurt, I could bear it, but she threatened me using Abby. I dont know how she found out about Abby, but she warned me that if I didnt comply, she would harm Abby. I had no other option. I couldnt stand by and see Abby get hurt
Seeing Nora in such a state complicated my feelings. Although Noras apology seemed heartfelt, she had, after all, drugged me. I couldnt fully trust her.
I nodded and tried to remain composed. I understand.
Then I glanced at Andrew.
Andrew caught my cue immediately. He gestured, and someone came to drag Nora away.
I wasnt in the right frame of mind to discern the truth of Noras story just then. The priority was to locate Abby. We would address Noras situation later.
Now that I know Shirley might have abducted Abby, I immediately called her, but she declined the call.
