"Also, I have packed enough food for him. He can have breakfast when he gets to school. He doesn't necessarily have to eat at home, especially if he is running late. I am sure Madam Cora will agree with me on that, right?" Joanna asked.

She and Laura diverted their gaze to the woman who was about to take a bite from a chunk of beef stuck to her fork.

"That is…," She coughed, unable to complete what she wanted to say.

She thought the cough would go away after the breakout but she kept coughing.

"What are you looking at, moron? Pour her a glass of juice?" Laura shouted at her when grandmother would not stop coughing.

Hastily, Joanna poured the orange juice into the glass with trembling hands.

Her evil smirk became visible when she saw Grandma Cora bring the glass to her mouth.

"Don't drink that Mum!" A terrified voice screamed.

Adhara who was hiding in a corner ran to where her mother sat and snatched the glass of juice from her.

"Tony, your driver is waiting for you in the sitting room. Go now, so you can get to school on time," Adhara instructed as she shot Joanna a murderous glare.

"What is wrong…,"

"Leave now and don't make me repeat myself," Adhara ordered sternly.

Anthony didn't want to leave. His reluctant expression showed it but Adhara couldn't care less about what he wanted.

He bid everyone goodbye and approached the door. At the dining door, he turned and stole a last glance at Joanna.

He was worried about her but he was powerless in this situation.

He left afterwards.

Adhara didn't utter a word until after she heard the car drive out of the house premises.

"I know you are not yourself lately but what was that Adhara?" Grandma Cora questioned.

"Was it part of your plan to see me choked to death…,"

"I saved you, Mother," Adhara shouted, feeling wronged by her mother's words.

"You saved me?" She began. "And what rubbish do you mean by that…,"

"Because I saw this witch poisoned the jug of juice," She announced.

"What!" Laura and Grandma Cora shouted. They sprang to their feet at the same time.

"You are joking right?" Grandma Cora asked. She refused to believe what her daughter said.

The old woman forgot about her painful legs after learning that she was almost poisoned.

"I wouldn't joke about such a thing. I saw her poisoning the juice earlier," Adhara replied.

She threw the glass of juice to the floor.

Joanna trembled like a wet leaf the instant Grandma Cora turned and shot her a deadly glare.

"I-I didn't do it," she shook her head negatively and started moving backwards.

"And where do you think you are running to huh?" Laura growled and pushed Joanna forward.

"I was returning from sending off my husband when I saw you so stop pretending because you know exactly what I am talking about…,"

"I didn't poison…,"

"There is no need for argument because we will soon find out who is lying or not after you drink the juice," Grandma Cora interrupted.

She reached out her hand and picked the juice jug from the table. She extended the jug towards where Joanna stood.

"Drink from it," She ordered.

"W-what!" Joanna stammered and moved backwards. This time around Laura standing behind her pushed her harder.

Joanna almost stumbled into Adhara had the angry woman not moved away in time.

"You said you didn't poison the drink so do as Granny said and stop trying to run away," Laura shouted. She collected the jug from Grandma Cora and shoved it to Joanna.

As she slowly lifted the jug to her mouth Joanna's eyes moved from Adhara's angry face to Grandma Cora's face and then to Laura's.

She pleaded with them with her eyes but none took pity on her.

"Don't make me repeat myself," Grandma Cora retorted when she saw that Joanna was stalling.

Joanna took a sip from the jug and tried to remove it from her mouth.

"Drink some more," the three women chorused, their murderous glares focused on Joanna.

[So she wanted to poison all of us to death but now she is gonna get killed with her poison. There is no more I can say other than, this is karma in its true form. I can't wait for the poison to take effect]

Laura grinned as she watched Joanna gulp the juice following their instructions.

Joanna was forced to drink half of the jug of juice.

After she drank the juice they stood there and watched every reaction and movement she made.

They were waiting for her to collapse or start vomiting blood but none of this happened after ten minutes passed.

"Maybe what she added was a slow poison so let's wait some more," Adhara advised.

She was so certain that her stepdaughter would drop dead thereby saving her the trouble of having to kill her.

Twenty-five minutes passed and still, nothing happened to Joanna. In fact, she looked better than she was before she consumed the juice.

[Why hasn't she dropped dead yet huh? Why is the stupid girl still fine after taking the poisoned juice]

Laura was so nervous that she could no longer hide it. She bit her nails as she glared at the girl standing in front of her.

"Madam Cora, I am running late for my classes. Can I go and freshen up now?" Joanna asked.

Although she maintained a soft expression, inwardly she was grinning. If they were to cut her chest open, an abundance of joy would spring forth immediately.

Madam Cora shifted her attention to Adhara, "Didn't you say the juice was poisoned so how come she is fine after consuming it…,"

"Mother, I am certain of what I saw. I just don't understand why she is alright…,"

"Do you think she might have taken the antidote in case she got caught?" Laura blurted.

From the expression on the two ladies' faces, Joanna knew they believed what Laura said.
