However, Lisa's threats were useless. Edna was motivated by benefit, after all. She soon revealed everything about what happened back then.
"I didn't know that the milk was poisoned, and I even wanted to drink it myself. But after I drank it, I had to go to the hospital. After some tests, I found out that there was something wrong with the milk.
"Then, I talked to Lisa about it, and that was how I found out about her plans. Later on, I stopped giving the milk to the girl."
Edna accused Lisa, saying, "She tricked me back then, so if you want someone to blame, blame her. If I hadn't stopped the poisoning in time, the girl wouldn't have survived."
Olivia chuckled. "Madam Todd, you're not completely free from blame either. You didn't feed her the poison because you feared that someone might trace it to you.
"So, you used a more direct method. You tricked her into turning back so that she would get washed away by the flood."
The family was filled with evil, but Molly somehow managed to survive even under such circumstances.
"Ms. Fordham, I had no other choice. I had two husbands, but they both passed away early on. I lived all alone in the countryside, and I had no source of income. How could I raise a child?
"She was supposed to go to school when she was seven, but my damned daughter refused to give me even a penny.
"Instead of letting the girl live with a poor old woman like me, I thought it'd be better if she could rest in peace."
No matter what Edna's motives were back then, she had saved Molly's life by stopping the poisoning.
"Madam Todd, we called you here just to be a witness to what happened back then. You just have to cooperate with the police and tell them clearly about these things."
Closing her eyes, Lisa seemed disheartened. "Mrs. Heath, I don't mind dying, but I hope you can let Krystal off the hook.
"You've put in effort to raise her, after all. She's at least an adopted daughter to you. If she gets jailed, her whole life will be ruined!"
While Lisa was begging Tatiana with all her might, Krystal finally came to her senses.
"You mean… I'm not from the Heath family?"
Lisa waved at her. "Krystal, come here. Beg Mrs. Heath and Mr. Linus for mercy with me so that they'll let you off the hook."
