"You want to stay by my side, so you need to hurt my child?" Micah asked mockingly. "Do you really think you can deceive me with such despicable means?" "No, it''s not like that." E shook her head frantically.


    "Enough." Micah didn''t want to hear her excuses. "Maybe I''ve been too lenienttely, and you two think you can manipte me at will!"


    "No, Micah," Nelson hurriedly exined. "E hates Sadie, but that''s because Sadie bullied her first. She never intended to harm you or the children; she''s always been trying to save you and Mia. Bryan drugged someone was Bryan''s own doing. It had nothing to do with E. If you look closely, E was just gesturing for her to feed Mia the medicine, not to drug her."


    "You''re still trying to argue." Sadie mmed the table, wishing she could deal with Nelson and E right then and there.


    Micah pulled her to sit down and calmly said, "That''s right. The video does show that E didn''t explicitly instruct Bryan to drug anyone. In the videos taken at home, you can only see her clearly ordering someone to drug Sadie. But you can''t deny that she poisoned Mia at Velvet Spoon Bistro, can you?"


    "It was not E''s doing either," Nelson continued to argue. "Micah, don''t be fooled and wrongfully use an innocent person."


    "I''m wrongfully using her? I''ll make you convinced," Micah turned and ordered. "Dahlia!"


    "Yes." Dahlia handed theb report to Ss. "The test just confirmed that the poison in the oatmealis identical to the one Mia was poisoned with before."


    "Well," Nelson was even more flustered but still argued. "This doesn''t prove that E did it. Maybe it was some damned servant."


    "Bring her in," Micah ordered.


    Soon, Rn dragged her over and threw her in front of Nelson.


    "Bryan?" Nelson''s eyes widened in shock. "How could you be here?"


    He had just called herst night, instructing her to prepare the medicine. How could she be here?


    "Uncle Nelson, save me."


    Bryan wasn''t seriously injured, but her spirit was nearly broken, clearly from intense interrogation.


    "She was detained by me after being kicked out," Micah said calmly. "Under Rn''s interrogation, she confessed everything, including how E instructed her to poison Mia and how you told her to prepare the medicine this morning. Do you need her to repeat it?"


    Nelson looked at E in panic.


    E was nowpletely flustered and had lost all her previous confidence.


    "These are the witnesses and the physical evidence."


    Micah signaled to Rn.


    Rn took out a box containing a pile of broken cups.


    "These are cups of Velvet Spoon Bistro." Annika looked closely and her eyes lit up.


    "There were originally twelve sets of cups. The eleven sets you took were fine," Rn exined. "The problematic set was taken and destroyed by E that day, thrown in a roadside trash can about three miles from Velvet Spoon Bistro. I found itter." "I see." Annika suddenly understood.


    "I sent the cups directly to the policeb. They found traces of poison and E''s fingerprints," Rn continued.


    "Now, do you have anything else to say?" Micah stared coldly at E.


    "I never intended to harm Mia. I promise," E frantically gestured. "That cup of tea was originally for Sadie." E pointed at Sadie, anxiously exining, "I never thought Mia would drink it. I really never intended to harm Mia."
