"Has the poison...been removed?"
"He wouldn't be alive now if it hadn't been removed."
Vicky bowed her head and whispered, "I didn't poison him. I don't really know what...happened, but he didn't believe me..."
No one would believe her, and up until this very moment, she had no idea what actually happened.
"I believe you," Old Mister Hart said.
She gaped at him in disbelief. "Y—You do?"
He smiled. "Apart from your birth and status, I do admire you, Ms. Shaw. You're smart, decisive, and composed. You're made for greatness. You've come begging me for help for Tyler's sake, so why would you turn and poison him?"
Vicky stared at Old Mister Hart with a conflicted look, and for a man as sharp as Old Mister Hart, he instantly guessed what she was thinking.
He lifted an eyebrow. "Why? Did you think that I called you here to break you and Tyler up?"
"Yes."
He chuckled. "I like how honest you are."
