My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 568

How was it that everything lined up so perfectly—Emily Blair was drugged, and Andrew Lane just happened to witness it?

It was all a little too convenient. Convenient enough to land her right in the spotlight as the prime suspect.

She could hardly defend herself.

In the past, no matter what happened, Andrew Lane had always been unwaveringly on her side.

But this time, he hadn’t rushed to her defense.

For the first time, Isabella Austin felt the bitter sting of being wrongfully accused.

She even started to wonder if this was all some elaborate trap set by Emily Blair.

Otherwise, how could everything fit together so seamlessly?

Emily Blair sat propped up against the headboard, her gaze cool and indifferent, her face unreadable.

When Isabella finished speaking, Emily’s lips curled into a faint, ironic smile. She slipped her hand from Isabella’s grasp.

“I believe you,” Emily said quietly, her tone sharp. “That’s why I know you’re the one who drugged me.”

Isabella’s voice shot up in panic. “It wasn’t me!”

She pushed herself up from the edge of the bed, taking a shaky breath. “Emily, if you don’t believe me, we can get to the bottom of this. I’ll prove I’m innocent.”

Emily bowed her head, letting out a soft, mocking laugh. “There’s no point. I already know nothing will come of it.”

Isabella frowned. “Emily, what is that supposed to mean?”

Emily kept her gaze low, listening as footsteps approached. She saw the polished black shoes of Andrew Lane appear at the edge of her vision.

Then his voice came from above, steady and authoritative. “Emily Blair, you have no evidence that Isabella drugged you.”

Emily raised her eyes to meet his—dark, intense, impossible to read. She gave a sardonic smile. “Mr. Lane, didn’t I just see you send someone to analyze the water I drank? By now, you should have the results, shouldn’t you?”

Isabella’s face registered shock.

Andrew’s eyes narrowed, just a fraction.
