Who paid you off?" Joy stubbornly repeated, "I said no one." "Okay, you tellthen." Richard turned to Bliss.
Bliss thought she had escaped notice, but now Richard was looking at her again, and she began to panic. "I'm not totally sure, but one night, Joy said she needed to use the bathroom. Something felt off, so I followed her and saw her talking quietly to sman I don't know." "Where did this happen?" "In the back garden by the corner of the wall. I heard them mention something about tampering with food." Richard looked sharply at Joy. "Are you still going to deny it?" "Fine. I did it." Joy lifted her head, no longer looking vulnerable. "I did it. So what?" Joy thought Richard wouldn't really do anything to her. Even though the interrogation was intimidating, she believed she could find a way out.
Sensing her thoughts, Richard asked, "Are you admitting this now because you think this person will protect you?" "No, but I know you wouldn't dare touch me." Richard almost laughed at her confidence. "Who do you think you are? Why wouldn't I do anything?" "Because I have the cure." At that word, Richard's expression darkened. He walked over and grabbed her by the collar. "Cure? What did you add to the food?" "Just a simple mix. It's not strong enough to really harm her. It would just seem like food poisoning. The serious part is the medicine I added. If you hurt me, she'll die too." Joy revealed everything, confident in her backup plan even though she might not actually have the cure.
Richard was furious, but knowing Pearl's life was at stake, he controlled his anger and didn't search Joy impulsively. He released her, and Joy collapsed to the floor.

Now that she had confessed, it seemed she didn't want to sk her own life. "So what do you want?"
Joy, realizing she had the upper hand, smiled. "I knew you were smart." "What do you want?"
"Nothing. I just did what I was paid to do. I just hope you won't hurt me." "Anything else?" Joy slowly got up, rubbing her sore elbow.
