With deliberate care, she removed the IV needle, pressed it down with a cotton swab, her eyes glinting with cunning. Raising an eyebrow, she teased, "Ms. Vance, what are you so anxious about?"

Her captivating beauty showed no trace of the pallor she’d displayed moments before when she seemed at death’s door.

Her pretty eyes seemed to be speckled with vibrant, colorful stars, making her look peerlessly gorgeous. She smiled charmingly, "Or are you just looking for excuses for your actions?"

"What do you mean? Don’t slander me!"

"It’s quite simple, Ms. Vance, you surely have plenty of nerve to do this to me."

With that, Tiana Thorne sat up straight.

Chloe Vance, seeing her in such good spirits, was filled with shock.

How could it be?

By all accounts, she should have been dead by now...

What went wrong?

Rouge Jarvis quietly watched the two, not saying a word, but drawing closer to Tiana Thorne to protect her with her presence.

Tiana curled her lips lazily, her eyes carrying a playful malice, "You’re wondering why I’m not dead, aren’t you?"

"How could that be? I can’t wait for you to get better, I’d never think that way." Chloe hastily shook her head.

At the same time, a sense of foreboding rose within her. As Tiana smiled, this feeling intensified, filling her with dread.

Tiana was indifferent, "Perhaps if Dr. Garrison were summoned, everything would become clear."

"I really didn’t poison you. You feeling unwell last night is normal, you can’t slander me because of that."

Tiana raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

"Really, you have to trust me. I’ve been diligently caring for you, hoping you recover soon so Ms. Jarvis won’t worry every day. Why would I want you dead? There must be some misunderstanding between us, Ms. Thorne."

Tiana looked at Chloe’s face—so pure and obedient. Across so many lifetimes, she was still the same, always using her innocence to deceive others’ feelings.

Back then, she was naive.

Now and in the future, it would be different.

Tiana chuckled lightly and lazily spoke again, "Earlier, you mentioned that if the IV bottle wasn’t poisoned, it proved it had nothing to do with you. But if it was poisoned, it was done intentionally by you."

Chloe nodded, smiled a little, and said, "Yes! I haven’t done anything, can face the test."

"Alright."

"Ms. Jarvis, could you please call Dr. Garrison? Thank you." Tiana addressed her.

At this moment, May Sloane also arrived.

Seeing her there, Rouge finally felt relieved, nodded, "Alright."

The room was left with only three people.

May Sloane looked at Chloe Vance with intense hostility, shielding Tiana Thorne behind her, speaking firmly, "Chloe Vance, do you know what price you’ll pay for offending Brother Tiana?"

"I didn’t."

May raised an eyebrow with a contemptuous smile in her eyes.

"I don’t want to say much to you now. You’re stubborn until the end, relentless until the coffin is seen. I hope later you’ll still speak so righteously about how you haven’t done anything."

Chloe suddenly felt a bit of panic, unsure how to respond.

Why were they all insistently believing she poisoned her?

Why was Tiana Thorne, who should have died from the poison, showing no reaction?

Could it be that Meredith Ford gave her the wrong prescription? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

No, that’s not it. She understood better than anyone how much Meredith Ford disliked Tiana Thorne.
