Penelope had not interacted much with Diana before, so she did not immediately grasp the meaning behind the words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Megan understood at once. Her heart lurched, but she forced the panic down. She pretended not to understand and waited for Penelope to respond.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Only then did Penelope finally catch the implication in Diana\u2019s words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The eldest miss of the Hutton family was sharp and perceptive. Even without knowing every detail, she had already seen through the situation and realized that Megan stood behind it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Megan held leverage over her. Penelope had no choice but to feign ignorance. \u201cDiana, what do you mean by that?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana did not spare her another glance. Her gaze, calm yet oppressive, settled squarely on Megan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cShe didn\u2019t hear anything in my words,\u201d Diana said evenly. \u201cBut you did. Didn\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDiana\u2026\u201d Megan feared her from the depths of her heart. She clenched her hand, forced a smile onto her face, and said, \u201cI don\u2019t understand what you mean either.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s expression remained unchanged. She nodded as if in thought, then said, \u201cIn that case, you will both stay in your rooms for the next few days. Don\u2019t go anywhere.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As soon as the words fell, several maids stepped forward, clearly intending to escort Megan and Penelope upstairs by force. It was detention in all but name.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Megan refused to accept it. If she was confined now, how were her remaining plans supposed to proceed?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOn what grounds? What right do you have to confine me? I\u2019m calling Dad right now. I\u2019ll call the police!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGo ahead,\u201d Diana said with a faint smile. \u201cLet\u2019s see whether the police investigate you first, or me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Megan\u2019s fingers trembled around her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Julian\u2019s men had already traced the matter back to Penelope, and Diana had directly voiced her suspicion. Once the police became involved, it would only be a matter of time before evidence surfaced.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFine. I\u2019ll go back to my room!\u201d Megan stamped her foot in fury, shoved the maids aside, and stormed upstairs on her own.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As long as Caleb did not disappoint her, things could still unfold the way she wanted.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing that Megan no longer resisted, Penelope did not dare say another word. She shot Diana a resentful glance and followed upstairs in silence. 1\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana gestured to the housekeeper. \u201cFor the next two days, don\u2019t let either of them leave. Cut off the communication signal in\u00a0<\/p>\n
both rooms as well.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUnderstood.\u201d The housekeeper acknowledged the order and withdrew.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once silence returned to the living room, Raymond finally looked at his elder sister. \u201cWhy not force the antidote out of them\u00a0<\/p>\n
while we\u2019re at it?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u2018Tie them both up. By nightfall, they will have the antidote in hand he thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A shadow flickered through Diana\u2019s eyes. \u201cSince when has she ever left herself a way out?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The \u201cshe\u201d Diana referred to was naturally Megan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond caught the bitterness in her tone and froze. She was thinking of the past. Of how Megan had lost Vee all those years\u00a0<\/p>\n
ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yes. That woman had always acted with the intent to destroy completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Moments later, a trace of a smile returned to Diana\u2019s face. \u201cBut this time, she revealed something to us.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Raymond knew his mind was not as sharp as his sister\u2019s and asked without embarrassment, \u201cWhat did she reveal?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana looked at him as if he were slow. \u201cDidn\u2019t I tell you to have people watch them? To see whether they deliberately targeted someone, or contacted anyone in particular?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cRight,\u201d Raymond said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then a thought flashed through his sleep-deprived mind. He straightened abruptly, his striking eyes lighting up. \u201cYou mean they poisoned Eliana because of Vee?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana did not answer. She gave a small nod, her expression clearly saying that he was not entirely hopeless.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Raymond could no longer sit still. He jumped to his feet, excitement surging. \u201cThen Vee is very likely someone close to Eliana?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana nodded again. The answer was obvious.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Any remaining drowsiness vanished from Raymond. He pulled out his phone as he spoke. \u201cI\u2019ll have someone check immediately. Eliana\u2019s daughter-in-law. Her age. Her name.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Diana\u2019s brow twitched. \u201cWhat did you just say?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But Raymond had already dialed, leaving her no chance to stop him. He calmly issued instructions to the person on the other\u00a0<\/p>\n
end.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At first glance, he seemed sharp enough. The longer one watched him, the clearer his shortcomings became.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As that thought crossed Diana\u2019s mind, her phone rang inside her bag. She took it out. At the sight of the caller ID, the woman who was usually unflappable showed a rare hint of tension.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She straightened her posture, cleared her throat, and answered, \u201cWhat is it, Sydney?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
