The atmosphere in the corridor froze.
Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at Luna. His gaze was complicated.
He remembered that when they reached Orchard Manor that evening, Nellie insisted on letting Granny Lynch drink the lemon iced tea, which was made for Fiona because it has more words than herbal tea.

The laxatives were laced in the beverage meant for Fiona?
Joshua was not only the one that was shocked. Fiona too. She bit her lips and glared at Luna. "So, from the beginning, you laced the beverage, wanting to give me diarrhea!"
Luna laughed. She turned to look at Fiona coldly." Why? Can't I? How many times have you schemed against me all this while, Ms. Blake?"
Luna crossed her arms around her chest. Her tone was arrogant. "Last night, My friend John got hurt because he stopped you from killing yourself. You did not even thank him, yet Mr. Lynch had the audacity to threaten us, saying if anything were to happen to you, he would not forgive us.

dinner. I was a little resentful and I thought that this would be a setup, so I made the first move. Can't I do that?”

Luna smiled a little. "The person stuck to the toilet bowl should be Ms. Blake instead.”
