Fallon stepped forward first, holding up a report. “This is the toxicology analysis of my mother’s daily medicine. It shows traces of a drug called omeprazole. Prolonged use of it leads to muscle weakness and paralysis.”

Nicoletta gave a cold laugh. “And what does that have to do with me? You’re the one who got her prescription filled, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I did,” Fallon said steadily. “I went to the pharmacy with Dr. Travis’s prescription. But later, someone added omeprazole to the mix. The dosage was small enough to go unnoticed. My mother was slowly poisoned, developing megaloblastic anemia, which eventually caused her paralysis. I have the pathology report right here.”

She handed another document to Hector. His brows furrowed tightly as he read.

He turned toward Nicoletta. “Was this your doing?”

Nicoletta grabbed his arm in panic. “Of course not! Hector, you’ve known me for years–you know my character. Everything I’ve done has been for you and for this family. Why would I harm Delilah? When she got sick, I pitied her! I’d never do something so cruel.”

Hector still trusted her more than anyone. After a long silence, he asked quietly, “Fallon, could there be some mistake in all this?”

“Father, please don’t be fooled,” Fallon said firmly. “There’s no mistake. I have a witness who can prove it.”

At her signal, the servants brought May into the hall.

When Nicoletta saw the maid, her expression hardened, but she quickly composed herself, standing straight, every inch the dignified matriarch.

May entered, head lowered, trembling, too afraid to meet anyone’s gaze.

Fallon pointed to her. “May, tell the truth. Why did you add omeprazole to my mother’s medicine? Who told you to do it?”

“May’s just a servant girl who makes decoctions,” Nicoletta cut in smoothly. “She doesn’t know what she’s saying.”

But May’s shaking grew worse.

“Speak,” Fallon urged. “Tell everyone what you know. No one here will harm you.”

After a long moment, May stammered, “It was Madam Nicoletta. She told me to add omeprazole powder to Mrs. Delilah’s supplements. Just a little each time so no one would notice…”

The room erupted.

“What?” Matthew stood up, his face red with fury. “Nicoletta, why would you do that to my mother?”

“I didn’t!” Nicoletta shouted back. “Don’t believe the lies of a servant. You all know how devoted I’ve been–to this family, to your mother. Can’t you see that?”

She turned on May, her tone sharp and commanding. “Who bribed you to say this? Who told you to slander me?”

“I wasn’t bribed!” May cried. “I have proof. This is the bottle she gave me.”

She pulled a small vial from her pocket. Fallon took it and passed it to Hector. He turned it over in his hand, his face unreadable.

“Ridiculous!” Nicoletta snapped. “I’ve never seen that before in my life.”

“Fine,” Fallon said coldly. “If you won’t believe her, maybe the next witness will change your mind.”

Everyone turned toward the doors. A moment later, Dr. Warren–the family’s long–time physician–was escorted in by two men Sebastian had sent.

The moment Nicoletta saw him, her stomach clenched.

Warren greeted Hector and the others, then, at Fallon’s prompt, began to speak. “I’m sorry. I let greed get the better of me. I falsified Delilah’s medical records.”

Hector’s voice trembled. “You mean she wasn’t sick? You deliberately diagnosed her with bone disease?”

Warren nodded, his face ashen. “It was Nicoletta who told me to do it. She threatened me–I had no choice.”

“Lies!” Nicoletta barked. “Pure slander! When did I ever give such an order?”

“I have the original medical report,” Warren said, handing it to Hector. “It proves Delilah was healthy. And I also have an audio recording.”

He played the file. Nicoletta’s voice filled the room, cold and unmistakable.

“Travis, during Delilah’s examination, make sure she never walks again.”

“That’s not right, Madam. The Jonathan Family has treated me well. I can’t do this.”

“You’d better reconsider. Help me, and you’ll be rewarded. Refuse, and you won’t live to see another sunrise.”

The recording ended.

The silence afterward was suffocating.

Then-“Bang!” Hector slammed the report onto the table, his fury erupting. “How could you?”

“Hector…” Nicoletta’s voice broke. She fell to her knees with a thud. “I was wrong! I’m sorry! Please forgive me -for the sake of everything I’ve done for this family.”

“Forgive you?” Fallon snapped. “You crippled my mother for decades!”

“After everything we believed in you…” Matthew spat. “You’re a venomous woman!”

The others murmured in outrage.
