Observing Bria’s anxious demeanor, Celeste pressed further, “What’s the matter?”

Noticing Bria’s nervous fidgeting, Celeste grew suspicious. Something was troubling her.

Suddenly, Bria found herself kneeling before them.

“My lady, I confess. I was the one who placed the fish bone in your soup. I’m deeply sorry, my lady. Iknew I was wrong. I won’t repeat such a mistake.”

Astonishment colored Celeste’s expression. She clenched her fists and demanded, “What did you justsay?”

Rhea also found the situation perplexing. She didn’t understand why Bria was suddenly revealing thetruth, but she admonished her promptly.

“Bria, have you lost your senses? What nonsense are you uttering? It was Millie who did this.”

Bria looked up at Rhea. She knew this defense wouldn’t work, even if Rhea tried to protect her now.She had already confessed everything to Marcus. No one could shield her.

“And the vase. I deliberately broke it and framed Millie for it. 1 disliked her arrogance. I deeply regret itnow. I beg for your mercy considering my old age.”

“What? You’re the one who broke the vase? Bria, you’ve stunned me. So, it was you who was trulymalevolent.”

Celeste slammed her hand on the smooth table, fuming.

She hadn’t expected that the person she had always trusted could be such a deceitful schemer.

“I won’t spare you. Just wait for Marcus to return and deal with you. You’ll be dismissed, for sure. As forany further punishments, that’s at Marcus’ discretion.

Leave right now.”

Celeste’s breathing grew labored, yet Bria remained kneeling, trembling.

Rhea chimed in, “Go away. Can’t you hear? We want you out of our sight.”

“Alright, I’ll leave immediately.”

Rhea couldn’t fathom Bria’s motives. Her abrupt confession incited Rhea’s anger.

“Mrs. Thomas, allow me to give you a massage. Don’t worry about Bria. Once Marcus is back, she’llundoubtedly face consequences.”

Rhea gently caressed Celeste’s back.

“What’s gotten into Bria? I believed she was a good person. That fish bone could’ve killed me.”

Recalling the harrowing experience of nearly choking on a fish bone, Celeste shuddered with lingeringfear.
