Cian Channing returned to her room, and after closing the door, the smug smile on her lips and the glint of satisfaction in her eyes could no longer be contained.
"Haha..."
Yet she didn't dare to laugh too loudly, afraid someone might hear her, so she suppressed her laughter, madly laughing until tears almost came out.
That bowl of porridge... As long as Tessa drank it, in about a week, she would quietly pass away.
That's right, there was something in that porridge.
Poison.
It was Eleanor Whittaker who gave it to her; a newly developed lethal poison from abroad. When ingested, it doesn't kill immediately. It lurks within a person's body for about a week.
During that week, it slowly corrodes the vital organs.
Throughout the whole process, it feels as though one has caught a cold, developed a high fever, completely undetectable by doctors.
Only after death will it be apparent that they were poisoned, but pinpointing the exact time of poisoning is impossible.
