“Grandpa!” Johanna pressed close to Byrum, her eyes filled with concern.
“How can you be so certain about her intentions? You can’t just blindly trust her!”
Joining the conversation, Christy questioned, “Hannah, while I believe there might be a misunderstanding, I did see you go into Byrum’s study late two nights ago. What were you up to?”
Suddenly, all eyes shifted to Hannah.
Quick to clarify, Christy added, “I’m not casting suspicion on you.
I’m just curious why you’d be in Byrum’s study at such a late hour.”
Before Hannah could offer an explanation, Bainbridge burst out, “Hannah! You went to Grandpa’s study in the dead of night to tamper with his meds, didn’t you? You never thought you’d get caught, did you?”
Tilting her head, Hannah eyed Bainbridge and questioned, “You actually have a college degree? You can’t seriously believe I would tamper with Grandpa’s medication in his study?”
With an icy glare, Hannah scoffed and continued, “I could switch the pills during my return trip. Do you really think I’d make it obvious?
Or are you assuming I’m as dim-witted as you and would bring the pills home for swapping? If you had a hint of intelligence, you’d see this is all an attempt to frame me.”
Puzzled by her rebuke, Bainbridge stared, mouth agape, struggling for words.
Johanna, visibly unnerved, blurted out, “Stop evading the point!
Christy saw you go into Grandpa’s study. Why are we even debating this?”
Calmly, Hannah turned to Christy.
“Are you certain you saw me in Grandpa’s study at such a late hour?”
Suddenly in the spotlight, Christy hesitated, nervously fidgeting with her fingers, but pushed on.
“I did… I can’t lie about it.”
With a smug look, Johanna turned to Hannah.

“So, what else do you want to say now?”
Unfazed, Hannah smiled, “I’m not interested in playing this pointless game of ‘he said, she said.’ I have some evidence to present.”
“Haha,” Johanna sneered.
“Evidence? What could you possibly have? Are you fabricating something?”
Hannah looked at Christy, her smile subtle yet knowing.
“Regrettably, Edwin faced some issues recently, leading me to install surveillance cameras around the house. I didn’t inform you all yet, but since Grandpa’s medication is now in question and you’re claiming I snuck into his study, why don’t we review the footage from the last two days?”
