Anyway, she had definitely been poisoned, and it wasn’t by some ordinary household substance.

When Gianna heard this, her heart skipped, but she quickly forced herself to stay composed and said, “Amelia, are you making up this whole poisoning claim to excuse your pointless complaints? Grandma’s perfectly fine; how could she be poisoned?”

“Yeah, even the actual doctors couldn’t detect anything. You think just because you touched her pulse and said ‘poison‘, that makes it true?”

Maxwell couldn’t take it anymore and stepped in to side with Gianna.

Amelia only gave a cold chuckle and fixed her gaze on Gianna. “Who would dare to do such a thing? Some people know very well what they’ve done.”

Gianna’s eyes flickered, but she still tried to act tough. “What are you implying? Don’t throw baseless accusations at me.”

Then she turned to her brothers with watery eyes, pretending to need their support.

As expected, those foolish brothers instantly softened when they saw her looking so pitiful, and they rushed to defend her.

“Amelia, I know you’ve always clashed with Gianna, but this is about Grandma’s health. Could you stop making a scene?”

“Yeah, it sounds like you’re trying to frame Gianna for hurting Grandma.”

“If Grandma really was poisoned, I’d bet it was you trying to set Gianna up!”

Amelia had to admit, Gianna had trained these three fools well. This wasn’t just manipulation; it was as if their brains had been swapped out. That was the only way they could be so easily under her control.

“What did Grandma eat today?”

Amelia cast a cold glance at the scheming group in front of her, not even wasting breath on them. She looked directly at Laurel and asked.

Her sharp eyes lingered briefly on Gianna’s face, catching every twitch and change in her expression.

Amelia was already convinced that Ursula’s sudden collapse was connected to Gianna, who wore a sweet mask but was rotten underneath.

Chapter 88 Bone Broth

Finished

“Mrs. Ursula’s meals have been fairly normal these days, but…”

Laurel knew this was serious, so she didn’t dare be careless. She quickly listed everything Grandma had eaten and done.

Having served the household for decades, Laurel was the one Grandma trusted most. Everyone knew her loyalty. Ursula treated her like family, and there was no chance she would harm her.

“Wait, you’re saying Grandma has been drinking a bowl of bone broth every day since she returned? And it’s always Gianna who prepares it?” Amelia immediately caught on to that detail and interrupted.

Maybe the issue was hidden in the bone broth Gianna had been bringing!

“Amelia, what are you suggesting?” Gianna’s eyes welled up with tears, and her voice trembled.

“Is it wrong for me to cook bone broth for Grandma? I just wanted to show her care and wish her good health … ” She looked fragile on the outside, but inside she was panicking.

Still, she was good at pretending. She quickly calmed herself and played the victim again, trying to shift the blame.

Stay calm! Don’t let them see you slip.

“That’s enough. You don’t have evidence, so stop defaming Gianna!” Their father finally spoke, clearly reaching his breaking point.

Maybe the rest didn’t know, but he did; this adopted daughter was actually his blood, a true member of the family. Why would she poison her grandmother? What could she possibly gain?

“Yeah, you’re only trying to stir up

drama.”

“Ever since you came back, this house hasn’t had a single day of peace.”

Once their father had spoken, the brothers couldn’t hold back. They all piled in to shield their dear little Amelia hater.

Watching Gianna being accused without proof made their hearts ache.

But Amelia didn’t care about any of them, and she definitely didn’t care about their opinions.

Maybe before, she would have been hurt by their bias and blind devotion to Gianna. But now, these so–called family ties meant nothing to her.

“From now on, no more bone broth. It interferes with the medicine I’m giving Grandma.”
