Mira’s POV
I followed behind them to eavesdrop on their conversation.
"I was able to retrieve the CCTV footage of the accident from the security caras of the supermarket opposite the scene of the accident.
It didn’t capture the driver’s face but the car’s plate number was visible, so I sent people to search for it and it was found at the outskirts of the city" he explained the details of his investigation.
Shit!
Those greedy bastards!
I panicked when I heard that the car had been found.
I have paid a lot of money to have the car burnt but those greedy bastards must have wanted to sell it for extra gains.
"Was there no one in the car when you found it?" Mason asked him and I listened attentively to hear his reply.
"There was a man from the rural areas in the car, and according to him, he ca to sell his farm produce in the City and was approached by so people who sold the car to him" he replied with a frustrated sigh and I breathed a sigh of relief.
"We are still checking the car for any clues and the farr has also been taken into custody" he said before leaving to continue his investigation.
Things are starting to get troubleso now, I have to find a way to end it soon.
Ding!
My phone chid indicating an incoming notification.
"A package will be delivered to you soon, make sure to get it done and not get caught"
I saw a text from my mother and frowned when I finished reading it.
What was she sending and how does it help in my current situation?.
Half an hour later, a nurse walked over to and handed a small box before hurrying away.
I quickly went to a quiet corner to open it, the first thing I saw was a syringe filled with a colorless liquid then a folded white paper.
I slowly unfolded the paper after making sure no one was around.
"Inject the liquid into her IV drip and she would be dead in two minutes"
My hand trembled when I saw the content of the paper, I quickly tore it into pieces and disposed of it.
Now, the issue was how to get my aunt and the others out of the room.
After thinking for a few minutes, I finally got an idea and quickly brought out my phone to make a call.
"Hello aunt May, I need your help" I said as soon as the call was answered.
"What do you need my help with?" a hoarse female voice asked.
Aunt May is the Lancaster family cook and one of my pawns. I have a video that could ruin her life so she will never disobey .
"Put sothing in the old man’s tea, I want him to have a crisis imdiately" I inford her but she just remained silent.
"Didn’t you hear ? Or do you want to show everyone how colorful your life is?" I threatened her angrily.
"No please, I will get it done" she said with a trembling voice and I ended the call.
All I have to do now is wait for everyone to rush ho.
I didn’t wait for long before I heard my aunt’s worried voice.
"Father was fine before he left the hospital, how did he suddenly fall ill?" she asked with an anxious voice.
"We don’t know what really happened, father asked to return to the main house" Mason said before leaving.
Damn!
The old witch didn’t leave and now I have to think of a way to get her out of the room.
" Aunty, what happened to grandpa?" I asked her with tears streaming down my face.
She looked at with a frown before reluctantly patting my back.
"At least you are not as heartless as your mother who doesn’t care about anyone" she said before walking back to the bedside.
I watched as she lovingly stroked Eva’s hair with a doting expression.
Why does she have to be loved while I have to beg for it?
What makes her better than ?.
"Aunty, about Christy’s condition...."
"Her na is Eva, not Christy!" She corrected with a glare.
"I heard the nurses discussing how there was a specialist doctor visiting today, I think he might be able to help my cousin recover faster" I said while observing her expressions.
"Why didn’t anyone inform us of this?" she asked with a frown.
"I heard the man is not easy to talk to, his ti is very precious as he has a lot of work" I said with a convincing tone and she imdiately got up.
"I will be back shortly, don’t leave her alone" she said before walking out of the room.
I waited for a few minutes to make sure she was really gone before slowly walking towards the bed.
It will take my aunt at least fifteen minutes to return, so I had to do it quickly and leave.
On getting to the bedside, I quickly uncapped the syringe and prepared to inject it into the IV.
"What are you doing?" Jasper’s angry voice ca from behind and the syringe fell out of my hand as I panicked.
I quickly turned around and saw him standing behind with a disappointed expression.
"I have always known that you were heartless but I never imagined that you would have the courage to take soone’s life" he said with a disgusted expression.
"Jasper, I am sorry, I don’t know what ca over " I imdiately squeezed out so tears.
He looked at with an even more disgusted expression, clearly not buying my act.
"Mira, we were together for many years , despite the fact that you have betrayed and lied to nurous tis, I forgave you but I can’t turn a blind eye this ti" he said and brought out his phone to make a call.
I quickly went on my knees, there was no way I would let him call the police on .
"Jasper please, I am sorry. I really don’t know what ca over " I cried while begging him, trying to look as pitiful as possible.
I noticed his hesitation and knew that he would help if I acted well. I quickly grabbed the syringe and slowly brought it to my neck.
" Fine, I will just kill myself as no one loves or wants " I cried as I slowly brought the syringe closer.
Why wasn’t he stopping ?
Oh.. Shit!
What do I do now?
"Are you done with your act?" he asked with a sneer and I froze.
"I will take it from here" Mason’s voice suddenly ca from behind him.
What was going on?
"You little witch!" my aunt stord in and gave a hard slap.
Where did I miscalculate?
"What’s with that expression? Did you really think you were that smart?" Kelvin also ca into the room with two officers behind him.
"I didn’t hurt her, Jasper stopped before I could inject her... Please I am sorry" I cried while observing their expressions but they seem to beco more angry.
"You can drop the act now, I will make sure you have a good ti in jail" Kelvin said before gesturing to the officers.
"What are you doing? I am a mber of this family, how can you treat like this?" I yelled as I tried to struggle out of the officer’s hold.
"When she didn’t die after hitting her with the car, you decided to finish your evil plan here. You even went as far as having your own grandfather poisoned! " Mason yelled with an extrely upset tone.
"You can’t just accuse , do you have evidence to prove that I was the one that hit her with the car?!" I questioned him angrily.
There was no use acting pitiful anymore, so I had to be serious at this point.
I am sure that there was no way they could have found any evidence, so they are definitely just acting on their suspicions.
"Who said we need evidence?" Kelvin asked with a mocking voice.
"What do you an? Do you think you can arrest without any evidence?" I asked him with a sarcastic tone.
"Mira, you might get a lesser sentence if you confess now," Jasper said with a sigh.
Confess?
To what exactly?
"I am confused, what are you all talking about?" I asked them with a frown.
They all looked at with anger and it made panic.
Could they really have found sothing?.
"Sister, please can you help her to clear her confusion?" Kelvin said with a smirk and I watched in horror as Eva, who was supposed to be sleeping, slowly sat up.
She looked at with a slight smile before getting off the bed.
"Do you think I wouldn’t know the face of the person that tried to kill ?" she asked with a smile and I took a few steps back in shock.
They tricked !
She never lost her mory.
