Chapter 901
Granny Luisa, tears streaming down her face, was a sight that broke Cornelia’s heart “What’s wrong? Why do you
keep saying sorry?”
Granny Luisa confessed, “Actually, we’ve been keeping something from you. Your granny’s death wasn’t due to her
illness suddenly getting worse, but to poisoning.” The news hit Cornelia like a punch in the gut. She could barely
believe what she was hearing as shock and pain swept over her. As her mind went into a whirl, Granny Luisa
continued, “John, my driver, had spiked our drinking water with a drug. This drug is harmless to most people but, if
taken with the medication for kidney disease, it can be fatal.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGranny Luisa paused, then said, “Nelly, I didn’t mean to hide the truth from you. I was just scared scared that you
might leave Marc if you found out.”

The fact that Granny Rebecca’s death was no accident was a blow that Cornelia hadn’t seen coming. Guilt and a
whirlwind of emotions threatened to overwhelm Cornelia, but she fought to stay calm. She knew she couldn’t blame
Granny Luisa or Marcus for this; she had to find who was really responsible.
“It’s not your fault, and it’s not Marc’s either. All you need to do is hand John over to the police and let the law deal
with him.”
Granny Luisa responded, “You think I’d cover for John? When we found out it was him, Marc handed him and all the
evidence over to the police.”
“Thanks,” Cornelia sighed in relief. She had thought Granny Luisa might ask for leniency for John. “You should rest
now. I’m going to step out for a bit.”
Granny Luisa tried to say something but then stopped. Some things were better left for her and Marcus to discuss.
When Cornelia left Granny Luisa’s room, Marcus was still waiting outside.
The walls were thin and Marcus must have heard her conversation with Granny Luisa. “Did you know that my
granny’s death wasn’t an accident?”
Marcus nodded, “Cornelia…”
“Come with me to my room. Cornelia didn’t want to worry Granny Luisa, so she brought Marcus to her room. Once
the door was closed, she asked him, “Why didn’t you tell me?”
Marcus started, “I was worried…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Worried about what? That I would blame you?” Comelia cut him off.
Marcus nodded.
Cornelia was pissed, “Marcus, do you think I can’t tell right from wrong? I’m her only family, don’t I deserve to know
the truth?”
“Marcus, didn’t we promise to always be honest with each other? I tell you everything, but what about you?”
“Why didn’t you tell me about this? I only found out now that my granny was murdered. How am I supposed to face
her now?”
Marcus tried to calm the upset Cornelia, “Cornelia, please, calm down! Let me explain!”
