Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 596

“So, my herbs were clean. The problem must have occurred in the kitchen,” Anastasia stated, turning to the trembling servant. “You were watching the pot the entire time, correct? Did you ever leave? Did anyone approach it?”

Before the servant could answer, she added, “Think carefully. If we can’t find the real culprit, the blame will fall on you. After all, how does an extra ingredient just appear in the pot? And I doubt you’ll enjoy facing the charge of attempting to murder the Brennan heir.”

The threat worked. The servant’s face went white as she frantically searched her memory. “I did leave! I went to the restroom for just two or three minutes. When I came back, I saw Ms. Lauren and Penny leaving the kitchen!”

“Don’t you dare make things up!” Penny shrieked. “Are you trying to say Lauren and I did it?! Everyone knows Lauren loves Benson like a brother! She would never harm him! This is slander!”

Lauren also looked at Anastasia, her eyes blazing with indignation. “Anastasia, how dare you threaten a servant right in front of my grandfather and uncle? Are you that determined to frame me for this?”

Anastasia just scoffed. “I’m simply asking her to tell the truth. Why are you so defensive?” She turned back to the servant. “Was there anyone else?”

“No one! I only saw those two!”

A cold smile touched Anastasia’s lips. “Well then, Ms. Brennan, and Ms. Brennan’s aunt, perhaps you can explain what you were doing in the kitchen? The medicine was tampered with. You can’t possibly claim you had nothing to do with it.”

The weight of every gaze in the room fell upon Lauren and Penny.

“Lauren?” Winni whispered, her voice filled with disbelief.

“Lauren, explain,” Mr. Brennan and Murray commanded, their voices grim.

“Grandfather, it wasn’t me! I would never hurt Benson…” Lauren stammered.
