Then, Gianna feigned concern and brought up the mysterious medicine Amelia had given their grandmother, her voice dripping with false worry:

“Amelia, I heard the pills you gave Grandma aren’t from any official manufacturer, and they’re not from a hospital prescription … Don’t you think that’s dangerous?”

She casually added, “I remember Grandma used to be perfectly healthy. How come after taking your medicine, she suddenly ended up like this…”

She didn’t directly say “poison“, but her hesitant tone and meaningful looks made it clear she was hinting something to everyone present.

The real reason for Grandma’s poisoning? Obviously, the strange medication Amelia brought.

Sure enough, the people who’d been unsure earlier started pointing fingers at Amelia, thanks to Gianna’s sly trick.

Aside from Thea, everyone else gave Amelia suspicious stares.

“Amelia, what did you give Grandma? Some dodgy stuff? Are you trying to harm her or what? What’s your deal?”

The first to speak up was Maxwell. He was always the most rash and hot–blooded of the siblings.

The others were thinking the same thing but didn’t dare voice it. After all, plotting against an elder was no small matter.

The moment Maxwell spoke, Thea snapped.

“Maxwell, do you even realize what you’re saying? Even if Amelia’s cold sometimes, she’d never hurt Grandma, let alone try to kill her! Are you insane?”

If he wasn’t out of his mind, how else could he think that?

Amelia must be crushed hearing this!

She never got any affection from her family, and now she had to endure this kind of smear.

Emery had thought the same as Maxwell, but after hearing Thea’s words, she sobered up slightly.

“Amelia, even if you didn’t mean harm, you shouldn’t just hand Grandma some random drugs. That stuff could be deadly!”

This girl might not be wicked, but she was definitely foolish. Must’ve been duped by some scam artists.

Compared to her, Gianna was much more sensible and clever. At least she wouldn’t get fooled by cheap tricks.

“Let me clarify. The medicine I gave Grandma is certified by the national drug agency. It’s not some back–alley product. It has official anti–counterfeit labels and traceable codes.

“And more than that, it’s a brand–new drug developed by the state research institute. It hasn’t even hit the market yet; people are scrambling to get it because it’s safe and has no side effects.”

Only these shortsighted people would mistake her medicine for a counterfeit.

“You sure talk big, but that bottle didn’t even come with packaging. Just an old jar. And you’re still bragging about it?”

Maxwell shot back, and his face was filled with doubt.

“Maxwell, please don’t talk about Amelia like that,” Gianna said, frowning with fake sympathy.

“Amelia only wanted to be a good granddaughter. Maybe she got duped. You know Grandma cares for her the most; why would she ever hurt her? Let’s just forgive her this time.”

She pretended to speak up for Amelia, but inside she was gloating, the corners of her lips curling in secret delight.

At last, she had a chance to push that girl down. Let’s see if she dares act arrogant again.

“Hmph!” Emery snorted, her eyes full of disdain. “She lazes around all day and doesn’t study. No wonder she’s clueless; she can’t even recognize a scam!”

She was more and more let down by her useless daughter. All she did was bring shame to the family.

Marcelo’s face stayed stern, scanning the room before his gaze landed on Amelia.

“From now on, you are absolutely forbidden from giving Grandma any more of that sketchy medicine! If something like this happens again, I won’t let you off easy!” His tone was sharp and commanding, leaving no space for argument.

Amelia rolled her eyes and raised her chin with defiance. “Oh? And what exactly will you do to me?”

“You!” Marcelo was left speechless.
