As she prepared to depart in dejection, the butler interjected, “However, Miss Moore is willing to offer you an opportunity. If you uncover the true instigator, she might consider forgiving you.”
Christy’s eyes lit up, as if clutching a lifeline. She nodded at the butler and said, “I will! If I can gather evidence against Johanna, I’ll do whatever it takes. Whatever it takes!”
Acknowledging her resolve, the butler nodded and said, “In that case, please lay low for a few days. I’ll reach out when there’s an update.”
“Understood! Absolutely, I get it.”
In the living room, seeing Christy be ushered away, Johanna exhaled deeply and shot Hannah a disdainful look.
“Stop playing the devoted granddaughter. Why didn’t you inform us about the surveillance system earlier? It’s as if you wanted the spotlight after Grandpa’s incident.”
Hannah retorted with a grin, “Maybe you should schedule a doctor’s visit to check on your mental health.”
Hannah studied Johanna, her words dripping with irony.
“If I’d warned you, would that have stopped Christy from tampering with Grandpa’s meds?”
Johanna’s face paled.
“That’s not on me! Grandpa gave you authority over family issues, but that doesn’t mean you can blame me! Do you think if we’d known about the surveillance earlier, Grandpa’s meds would still have been tampered with? Would his condition have worsened again?”
Edwin had had enough of Johanna.
“The surveillance was installed for my sake. We had no idea someone in the house was plotting against Grandpa.”

“A guilty mind needs no accuser, right Johanna?”
Johanna shot Hannah a furious look.
“Your insinuations are lost on me!
Grandpa told me to reflect on my actions. I’ve no interest in bickering with you further!”

As Johanna stormed out, Edwin sat next to Hannah, his expression fraught with concern.
“Hannah, I’m not convinced it’s that simple.”
“What do you mean?” Hannah arched an eyebrow.
After hesitating, Edwin said, “While Christy may have a fiery temperament and occasionally rub people the wrong way, she’s always treated Grandpa with utmost respect. Moreover, Grandpa has never had an issue with her. There was no reason for her to harm him intentionally!”
“Having settled my nerves, I too sensed something off about the situation.”
Jalen exhaled deeply, shifted his seat, and fixed his gaze on Hannah.
