Eliza let out a soft, derisive laugh. So many cheap tricks; it was both disgusting and infuriating

“My hand’s already sore from slapping. Why don’t you handle it yourself, Mrs. Nevill? Eliza’s tone was light, almost playful, but her words were sharp as a blade.

Eliza sat at the head of the room, her gaze lowered as she smiled sweetly. “Mrs. Nevill, I’m sure you’ll do a good job and make me happy, won’t you?”

‘Damn it. This bitch actually wanted me to slap myself? Sophie wondered.

Sophie had been planning to act the moment Eliza struck her. If Eliza had made a move, she could have discreetly sprinkled the poison in her hand onto Eliza. But now, Eliza wasn’t even moving.

The distance between them was only three steps.

‘Should I act? Or hold back? Sophie wondered, ‘If I didn’t act now, i might not get another chance this good. But if we just act now, it’s too obvious. It’s too easy to get exposed.”

Sophie’s gaze flickered, her thoughts in turmoil. Her eyes locked onto Eliza’s face, staring and staring. Jealousy and hatred surged within her, growing stronger and stronger until they consumed her reason.

She wanted to kill Eliza. As Sophie took a step forward, the hand with the poison powder hidden under her fingernail also lifted, inching closer to Eliza bit by bit.

‘Kill her, she wondered. If she could just smear or sprinkle the poison on Eliza, she could turn the tables and threaten her instead. ‘Yes, that’s it, just like this-‘

Swoosh. The blade hissed as it was unsheathed, its cold edge gleaming as it forcefully blocked Sophie’s path.

Eliza arched an eyebrow. This wasn’t the first time her little venomous spider had stirred.
