Rewrite Her Thrilling Life (Lillian and Sebastian) novel Chapter 683

**Chapter 683: Flat-Out Denial**

Ginnie’s heart raced, her breath catching in her throat as panic washed over her. “You committed a crime and now you want to frame someone else! Why would I ever harm Natalie? Theo is so good to me, and he cares so much about Natalie. What more could I possibly want? Why would I risk everything to do something like this?” Her voice trembled, each word laced with desperation.

Lilian’s eyes glinted with cold precision as she replied, “Because Natalie’s surname is Yale, and your daughter isn’t even related. No matter how much Theo showers affection on your daughter, she will never truly belong to the prestigious Yale family. And as I mentioned, this poison has been administered gradually over the past three months—0.01 milligrams at a time. It’s subtle enough to escape immediate detection, yet it slowly deteriorates her health. Within six months, she would undoubtedly succumb to its effects, fading away in silence. I must admit, the method is cunning, but it hinges on one crucial element: she had to be poisoned daily. Clearly, no matter how skilled Dr. Jerome may be, he cannot come here every single day. Therefore, the identity of the person responsible is glaringly obvious, even without my elaboration.”

Theo abruptly pulled Ginnie from his embrace, his gaze fixed on her with a mix of disbelief and anguish. The air between them thickened with tension. “Ginnie,” he said, his voice low and measured, “I’m only going to ask you this once: Did you poison Natalie? Look me in the eyes and give me an answer.”

Ginnie’s eyes widened in alarm. “No, it wasn’t me! Theo, he’s framing me! I have nothing to do with him! Besides, this Lilian is just speculating; she has no proof. I’m not the only one here every day. The maid is here too, isn’t she?” Her voice rose, desperation clawing at her words.

Theo inhaled sharply, trying to steady himself. “Fine, fine, very good. So according to you, it could also be me or Carson, couldn’t it? If that’s the case, let the police investigate.” His voice was steady, but the underlying current of anger was unmistakable.

Theo’s voice dropped, the intensity of his gaze unwavering. “The Yale family never mistreated you or your daughter, did we? From the moment you stepped through that door, we found your daughter a school, and my mother took you both shopping, to parties. Although you were our nanny, you were never burdened with hard labor. You and your daughter practically had the run of this house! But what did you do? You secretly seduced my father, drove my mother to flee—I tolerated all that because relationships can be complicated. But I never imagined you would stoop so low as to try to kill Natalie! How could you be so heartless? I was foolish enough to believe you, thinking you were simply exhausted from caring for Natalie. Natalie even told me her illness was caused by you, and I scolded her for being unreasonable! All this time, it turns out I was the blind older brother who allowed her to suffer like this!”

The room fell into a heavy silence, the weight of Theo’s words hanging in the air, as Ginnie’s world began to crumble around her.
