Chapter 81
In the end, the person who had harmed Gregory turned out to be Stefania’s most trusted best friend Yana!
When Stefania thought of this, her heart surged with rage. Last night, when she returned to her residence, she was full of anger and suspicion. She couldn’t believe that Yana would actually do something to hurt Gregory.
However, the evidence provided by Nicholas was still with her, which was so strong that she had to believe it. Thus, after arriving home, Stefania went to find Yana first, but she happened to meet the latter, rummaging through her room’s contents and looking for something.
Stefania’s face immediately sank, but on the surface, she still asked, without giving her emotions away, “Yana, what have you lost? Do you want me to help you find it together?”
Startled by the unexpected questions, Yana turned around to see Stefania there, so she hastily said, “Oh, there’s no need. It’s just a cosmetic ring. It should have rolled under the bed, so I’ll get it out later.”
“Is that so?” The disappointment in Stefania’s heart intensified, after which she said, “In that case, then let the maids come and help you find it. You are not well. What if you accidentally faint? By the way, you keep saying you have a headache. Have you taken your medicine?”
As soon as she mentioned medicine, Yana felt a chill run down her spine. In a guilty voice, she hurriedly said with a smile, “Yes, I have taken it. Don’t worry.”
Stefania’s tone was somber, and her eyes darkened a little. “It just so happens that I also have a bit of a headache recently. Why don’t you also give me a pill? It’ll make me feel better.”
“That won’t work!” Yana was so frightened that she blurted out.
Stefania’s gaze became deeper. “Why not?”
Yana hurriedly tried to calm down and changed her tone. “Oh, I suppose it will work, but that medicine is a newly developed drug from overseas. I have stayed abroad for a long time, so it’s fine for me to take it, but I’m worried that it may not be very suitable for you. Moreover, I’ve just finished the bottle.”
“Heh.” Stefania’s face suddenly turned cold. Then, she said in an icy voice, “Have you finished the medicine or actually lost it? Are you looking for this bottle?”
After the question, Stefania unhurriedly took out the bottle, and upon seeing it, Yana felt her gaze contract. Her face instantly changed dramatically. In fact, her expression looked as bad as if she had eaten dirt!
Stefania’s gaze was dark while she coldly laughed. “What? Isn’t it this bottle? Why do you look like you are in shock?”
Yana laughed awkwardly before saying, “Yes, this is the bottle. I must have forgotten and left it downstairs somewhere, right? Thank you, Stefania, for finding it for me.”
Then, Yana reached out for the bottle, but before she could take it, Stefania suddenly let go, and the bottle of medicine fell directly to the ground and rolled away.
At that, Yana froze. Her face changing color, she looked at Stefania, then hesitantly said, “Stefania, w what are you doing?”
Stefania looked at her coldly before she snorted angrily. “Do what? Shouldn’t I ask you this? Since your return, I have been treating you and your daughter well, but you tried to poison Greg! Yana, do we owe you something? How dare you treat a child who is only a few years old so viciously?”
Yana’s face turned white after her friend called her out. Instantly, she plunged into fight-or-flight mode and hurriedly denied, “No, I didn’t harm Greg. What are you talking about? Is there some misunderstanding?”
“Misunderstanding?” Stefania was in a rage, thereafter throwing a piece of paper at Yana before exposing her ruthlessly.
“Nicholas has found out that the medicine you take is the medicine that poisoned Greg! In addition, you were caught on the villa’s surveillance cameras too. Yana, do you dare to deny it all?”
Yana was in a state of confusion. She thought she had done everything right, so she never thought she would be exposed. In a hurry, she shook her head and strongly denied it.
“No, Stefania! Listen to me! That was not what happened!”
