With a stern expression, he confronted Theodore.

“What are you implying? Do you really want to dredge up events from over a decade ago? Did you not see for yourself just how mad she had become? ALL I've said is the truth, isn't it?"

Darian stubbornly argued, refusing to acknowledge his wrongdoings. But Theodore wasn't about to let him off easily. He signaled to the people around him, and moments later, a medicine bottle was presented to Darian.

Recognizing the bottle, Darian's face whitened, a surge of panic washing over him. He couldn't comprehend how the bottle, which he had ordered to be destroyed, was now here in front of him. Was it a replica?

He was sure he had perfectly executed his plans, carefully eliminated anyone involved, and left no trace of evidence.
