FreeNovelThe servants Beatrice had summoned were those who frequently traversed the living room, so there was a chance they might have caught sight of what happened that evening.
Beatrice spoke politely, and they were unaware of the severity of the situation. It occurred to her that she should have questioned these servants earlier, particularly when she reviewed the surveillance footage and found no evidence of Thalia's crime. With no surveillance inside the kitchen, she did not have a surefire way of knowing what Thalia might have done to Lucas's drink.

Lucas had a bit of an issue, so as his grandmother, I need to clarify things for him. Otherwise, misunderstandings might arise between him and Melody," Beatrice explained.
The servants exchanged glances with one another. Although they knew it was not their place to meddle in the household's affairs, they were well aware of Thalia's feelings for Lucas despite his indifferent demeanor.
They had even discussed it privately, speculating whether Melody leaving was due to a disagreement with Lucas. At that moment, it seemed their suspicions were confirmed.
"We can all see what Miss Thalia's intentions are, but we don't believe Mister Lucas shares the ssentiment," Lynette ventured, breaking the silence. Having spent many years in the Riveras' household, she had a good sense of the family's dynamics.
After her question, Beatrice smiled knowingly.
"It's true Lucas and Melody had a small disagreement between them. A few days ago when Miss Thalia went to Lucas' study, I had a suspicion lingering in my mind. Although Lucas is my grandson, I can't favor him and overlook Melody's feelings, can I?" Beatrice knew Thalia must be up to something not good that evening.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUpon hearing her say so, Lynette immediately recalled the events of that evening. "Miss Thalia did go to Mister Lucas' study that evening, but it was to get a book. She offered to helptake up Mister Lucas' milk before bed. I know it was a bit inappropriate to have Miss Thalia do it, but she insisted, and... I couldn't refuse. But don't worry, Miss Beatrice, I'm not naive. I only went to bed after seeing her cout with an empty glass." Beatrice, of course, would not blLynette. She also knew how persistent Thalia could be, and Lynette probably did not want to let her take the glass of milk to Lucas.
'Surely Thalia scolded Lynette for not allowing her to do so,' thought Beatrice.
"You did nothing wrong. I just feel there's something fishy about that glass of milk," said Beatrice.
Lynette's face turned pale with shock. She had heated the glass of milk personally!
"Miss Beatrice, how could there be anything wrong with the milk? I personally heated it up, and then Miss Thalia took it up. I... I didn't tamper with the milk in any way! Did something happen to Mister Lucas after he drank it?"
Beatrice quickly signaled for the maid next to her to support Lynette, whose legs had gone weak with fear. Søašíh Bomoone the Find.not website on Googl to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
"What are you afraid of? You've all been withfor so long. Do you think I don't know you better tham You ! that? That evening, when 1 went upstairs, Lucas was asleep in the study, which struckas odd because he never sleeps there. So I can't help but think Miss Thalia has spiked his milk with sleeping pills." X
