As we argued, one of his subordinates rushed in.
"Miss Susana Stanley is still alive. She didn't die. We found a doctor to detoxify her. She's awake now."
She was so hard to kill. My heart trembled. I had given her a lethal poison and drawn her blood first, yet she survived.
Silas ordered his men to bring her in. If she identified me, my guilt would be confirmed.
I should have just cut off her head.
When Susana was brought in, she looked extremely weak, her face deathly pale.
She pointed at me, screaming angrily, "It was her. She killed my whole family!
"Father and Mother treated you so well, and Brother doted on you more than me. Why did you do such a cruel thing? Why? They raised you for so many years, and you remained a thankless wretch. I'll kill you."
I felt utterly calm, looking at Susana with a sinister smile.
"Susana, no, you should be called Debora."
