Isadora remained concealed, observing Mrs. Adriana's next move. Mrs. Adriana summoned the cook, who promptly arrived in the kitchen. "Deliver this food to my husband in his study and the other portion to Isadora," Mrs. Adriana directed, emphasizing that they were the only recipients.
The cook nodded in compliance. Isadora was stunned, realizing she was merely a pawn in Mrs. Adriana's scheme. She concluded that Mrs. Adriana was indeed ruthless.
As Mrs. Adriana exited the kitchen, Isadora saw the cook carrying one plate away, likely intended for Maxwell, as instructed. Recognizing the potential danger, Isadora knew she had to act swiftly.
As the cook left the kitchen, Isadora emerged from her hiding spot and hastened to catch up with her. She pretended to accidentally bump into the cook, causing the plate to fall and shatter on the ground. The floor was now a mess, covered in food and broken ceramic pieces.
