"In order to be with me, you even harmed my children?" Zayn questioned incredulously. "Did you think that you could convince me using such low-handed despicable means?"
"No, it wasn't like that…" signed Selena while shaking her head desperately.
"Enough!" Zayn did not want to see her defending herself. "Perhaps I have been too easygoing lately, so you and your father think that I can be easily manipulated!"
"No, Zayn, it's not like that…" Layon tried to explain in a hurry, "Selena dislikes Carla for always bullying her but she had no intention of hurting you or your children. She had been helping you and Venus.
"When Freya poisoned the food, she was acting alone. Selena was not involved. Selena was only gesticulating that she wanted to feed Venus, not asking Freya to poison the food."
"Even now, you are still trying to lie your way out?"
Carla wanted to take the father and daughter duo out right away.
Zayn made her sit down and spoke calmly…
"Yes, where the video was shot, Selena did not clearly instruct Freya to administer the medicine. In these videos taken at home, we can only see that she clearly ordered someone to give Carla the medicine. However, it is undeniable that she gave poison to Venus at Seacrest Restaurant."
"There is no proof that Selena did that." Layon was still arguing, "Zayn, don't be fooled by others and accuse Selena. She is innocent."
"Do you say that I'm accusing her wrongly? I'll show you the proof." Zayn turned around and called out, "Naya!"
"Yes, sir." Naya handed the laboratory analysis report to Thompson. "The analysis just now showed that the poison in the medicinal broth is the same as the type Venus took."
"This…" Layon was panicky but still continued to deny everything, "This does not prove that Selena administered the poison. It is possible that the darned servant did it…"
"Bring the witness, " Zayn ordered.
In a short while, Brandy brought someone over and placed her right in front of Layon.
"Freya?" Layon's eyes widened in surprise. "How did you…"
I phoned her and asked her to dispense the medicine last night. How did she end up here?
"Help me, Uncle Layon…"
Freya was unharmed but her spirit was broken, obviously after stern interrogation.
"I detained her immediately after she was driven away, " Zayn said plainly.
"During Brandy's interrogation, she confessed everything—how Selena instructed her to poison Venus and what you did this morning, ordering her to dispense the medicine. Should I ask her to repeat it?"
Layon looked at Selena as he panicked.
Selena was now totally disorientated and in a panic too.
"This is the witness and there is also evidence."
Zayn signaled to Brandy.
Brandy took out a box in which were pieces of broken Lacoy.
"This is…" Freda looked carefully and then recognized it. "The cup from Seacrest Restaurant."
"There were twelve cups. The eleven cups that were taken away were fine, " Brandy explained, "The one that was used was removed by Selena, who later broke it and threw it into a trash bin three kilometers away. I found it later on."
"I see." Freda began to understand.
"Straightaway, I sent the cup to the police station for testing, and it really contained residual toxins as well as Selena's fingerprints, " Brandy continued to explain.
"What else do you have to say now?" Zayn looked at Selena with a cold frosty gaze.
"I never intended to harm Venus, really, I didn't…" Selena gesticulated in panic. "The cup of tea was meant for her."
Selena pointed at Carla, signing anxiously, "I never thought that Venus would drink it. I have never thought of harming Venus, really, I didn't…"
