Chapter 276


    Hearing her talk like that, to be honest, I wanted to p her right across the face. But I held back my


    urge. She held grudges, so I couldn''t afford to offend her.


    "Who else knows you''ve moved Evan?" I asked, staring at her. This was the crux of the matter, "And


    don''t tell me no one knows."


    "Only Maddox and I knew about it." ra raised her head to look at me, "So, I was puzzled and dared


    not make it public. But the only person I could tell was you."


    I stood up, towering over her, "You''d better tell me everything. If Evan is in danger, you are just as


    culpable as Zora."


    ra suddenly looked up, her face pale and her eyes filled with fear.


    I stared at her for a moment, then bent down to meet her gaze, "When did you meet Renata?" I asked


    unexpectedly.


    Her pupils contracted in surprise and her lips trembled, avoiding my gaze.


    "Speak!" I demanded forcefully.


    "I don''t know her. She... I..." ra stammered, clearlycking confidence.


    "You don''t know her, yet you dare plot against me for her. Do you think I''m oblivious to your actions?


    And you dare to lie to me, so is this your idea of trust? Should I trust you?" I stepped forward, "ra, I


    really underestimated you. Do you know your actions are even more devious than Zora''s?" I was


    gritting my teeth as I said this, realizing ra was a nuisance.


    "No, Ms. Aaliyah. I really didn''t know the medicine she gave me was for you." ra tried to justify


    herself and reached out to grab my hand.


    Hannah snorted, "Remove your hand."


    Forced to let go of my hand, ra continued to plead her case, "I''m telling the truth, and I didn''t mean


    to harm you, Ms. Aaliyah. You''re the kindest, most trustworthy, and reliable person in my heart."


    I gave a cold, sarcasticugh, as though listening to a joke.


    "When she gave me the medicine, she said to wait for her instructions. I had no idea she wanted to


    harm you. So when thisdy..." she pointed at Hannah, "She signaled me not to mess things up, so I


    switched the drinks and made her drink it herself."


    "And if she hadn''t signaled you?" I asked, seizing the opportunity.


    "Then I wouldn''t have given it to you either." She imed sincerely.


    I gave a cold humph. I didn''t believe her at all.


    "You say you don''t know Renata, yet you followed her instructions. Do you think your exnation is


    convincing?" I challenged, "Do you take me for a fool to believe your words?"


    "Ms. Aaliyah, I really didn''t lie. I was puzzled when she came to find me." ra whispered.


    "ra, you know if you''re lying or not, and I''ll find out too, depending on whether I want to investigate.


    If I find out you''re lying, ra, think about what will happen to you." I warned, my tone icy.


    Her face stiffened, seeming a bit shaken.


    I was certain she was still hiding something from me.

    "Do you think the issue with Renata is over? Don''t be delusional. Disrupting Goldenvale Town''s


    international trade g, such an important event isn''t the same as a private party hosted by Medsafe


    Liyah Inc. She won''t get off the hook this time, and do you think you can escape responsibility?"


    My words were like a boulder bearing down on her, her face growing paler by the second.


    Then I added, "Now tell me, who do you think took Evan? Don''t tell me you have no idea."


    ra looked at me, visibly lessposed, and stuttered, "I truly don''t know, but I''ve lost something."
