Chapter 946

Vivian Laurent's gaze was as sharp as a blade, piercing straight through Mia Lombardi.

Mia kept her head down, fingers tightly twisting the hem of her dress.

"Mia, where are you rushing off to?" Vivian's voice was terrifyingly calm.

Beads of sweat formed on Mia's forehead. "I...I just wanted to take a walk...maybe buy groceries...to cook dinner for you..."

"Dinner?" Vivian let out a cold laugh. "Or poison?"

Mia trembled violently, her face turning ghostly pale. "Miss Vivian...what are you saying...how could I..."

She had already disposed of the leftover lunch. Even the trash had been taken out. There was no way Vivian could find evidence.

"My food has been poisoned for some time." Vivian stepped closer. "Tell me who put you up to this, and I'll let it go."

Tears welled up in Mia's eyes. "Miss Vivian...I really don't know...you've been so kind to me...why would I..."

"Kind?" Vivian narrowed her eyes. "Good salary, easy work. I've treated you fairly. Why betray me?"

"I didn't...Miss Vivian, you can't accuse me like this..." Mia bit her lip hard.

At that moment, Ethan Roscente pushed open the door.

"Want proof?" He smirked and snapped his fingers.

An associate immediately brought forward a food container.

"We found the food you threw away." Ethan looked down at her coldly. "We also pulled the surveillance footage. Care to see it?"

Mia's legs began to shake.

"Toxicology report is right here." Ethan tossed a file onto the table. "You know the penalty for attempted poisoning."

Mia's nails dug deep into her palms.

"I...I really didn't know..." Her voice grew smaller.

Vivian sighed. "Mia, this is your last chance. Name your employer, and I'll protect you."

The air in the room seemed to freeze.
