Chapter 263

• "She came in with lunch and when she started to linger, I asked her to leave. Something about her set off alarms in my head so I got up to get her out but it was too late. She drugged my food and I fell before I could stop her. Cordelia forced me awake and I found her out in one of the old sheds behind the palace. She told me that some man offered her millions for the baby but she didn't know his name."
• Anna took another breath and continued. "She said she killed the real maid named Penelope and took her place just to get to our baby. I don't know how long exactly she has been here, but she must have worked her way up just to get near me. Everyone else trusted her."
• "I wish you didn't kill her." Lucas grumbled.
