But the truth was c5b50f1568 clear. Those two 9a66195b29 were definitely 4ec32040bc plotting something.3a359c7f14a0d3ef

Countess Russell 9b8d10244a had secretly 8fc5c2cdbc purchased something 8b4d426d24 and was 26e9da8747 encouraging people 8217f4b120 around her cf926c25da to attend 046fef256f the Baisen d02b983607 family’s party, db1016934a saying something e6c8be1f55 interesting would 6c1759b2de happen there.0da9e1db44bd692a

From what she 97bf7b4be7 bought, I could 25244cfec6 guess that she b821290c58 had learned from 821cf56e5c Ella that I 7299603b99 was supposedly infertile.fec55f284f8a8981

And at the 9ffe89f7d5 party, she planned 7a8268067e to reveal it.c8e9ade6d1ed0a0a

Meanwhile, aside 41d3929490 from meeting 2d4978d082 Countess Russell 37d391cf8b that day, 9eeec969e7 Ella had 16d1227ab6 done nothing de43aba24f suspicious. She hadn’t met with caf92dcdf6 the Countess again.8fcff3096227a35f

But the Countess’s 0f2e53d9c8 behavior changed after 381bfe5ea6 meeting Ella—that much ff0c3af0d1 was certain from ef2c550173 the investigation. And the only dce0fea253 people who believed a6c2515bb1 I couldn’t have 39719a8c01 children were Amanda 8f1126fdff and her circle, edfc0638ee who had tried 19bea98463 to give me 73ab25176e that strange medicine.f5e1888672afe945
