Lina Wilson widened her beautiful eyes, and finally, under Edward Anderson's stare, she confessed: "My master threatened to kick me out of the Andersons if I didn't do as he said. I-I had no choice, so I..."
She looked at the sleeping Bella Scott: "I gave Madam Anderson a little bit of sleeping pill. Don't worry, sir, it was not much, and she'll wake up after a good sleep."
"Then don't go back to the Andersons. Stay here and work for me. You don't have to be afraid of my dad. Let's end this matter. Go back to your room and rest," Edward Anderson ordered Lina to leave.
Lina felt relieved, quickly apologized, and hurried away.
Bella, who was feigning sleep on the bed, thought Edward must have a soft spot for Lina since he didn't show any interest despite such a beautiful woman offering herself to him.
She yawned, truly feeling sleepy this time, and soon fell into a deep sleep as the effects of the sleeping pill kicked in and her nerves relaxed.
