Chapter 105
Chapter 105:
Bernice, her heart still racing, shot Yelena a sharp look. “Please, pay closer attention next time! You almost gave me a heart attack p>
“People with a clear conscience have nothing to fear,” Yelena, unfazed, tilted her head slightly and said coolly.
She then took a slow sip of her juice as if to underscore her point.
Bernice narrowed her eyes, recognizing the thinly veiled jab in Yelena’s words.
Bella, seeing Yelena sip her juice, gently patted Bernice’s hand beneath the water, a quiet signal for her to stay composed.
Her gesture was a silent reminder that the real drama was yet to come, and Bernice losing her temper now would only ruin their plans.
Bernice, who had spent countless hours by Bella’s side, understood perfectly.
With a forced smile, she braced herself for whatever would come next.
Yelena, seemingly oblivious to their silent exchange, took another sip of her juice, muttering almost to herself, “Mmm, this is really good p>
Then Yelena glanced at Bella and Bernice, a mischievous smile curling at the corners of her lips. “You two should try it too. It’s quite good p>
Wanting to keep up appearances and avoid arousing any suspicion, Bella and Bernice each picked up their glasses and took a sip, feigning enjoyment.
“It really is nice,” Bernice commented, pretending to savor the drink. “I might grab a refill later p>
Bella, ever meticulous about maintaining her perfect figure, was usually strict about what she consumed.
She steered clear of sugary drinks and even pure fruit juices. But today, she couldn’t refuse—she couldn’t afford to let Yelena grow suspicious.

Seeing Yelena continue to sip her drink, Bella followed suit, mimicking her casually.
Before she realized it, Bella had drained her entire glass, feeling strangely full. Yelena also finished hers, setting her empty glass down with a satisfied sigh.
After a while, Yelena stood up, stretching leisurely. “I’m done soaking. Time for me to head back and rest a bit.” Her movements were exactly as Bella had planned.
At this point, Yelena should’ve been starting to feel dizzy—just as Bella had intended. She’d likely want to lie down soon. Bella’s heart raced with excitement, certain that the plan was unfolding perfectly.
She’d even increased the dosage, just to be safe, and surely, it seemed to be working faster than expected.
Seeing Yelena heading off, Bella and Bernice quickly stood, eager not to miss the real drama about to unfold.
But as Bella stood up, she felt… off. Something was wrong.
Her head spun, a dizzying wave of heat coursing through her body. Something was wrong—she could feel it deep in her bones. What was happening?
Shaking her head, Bella chalked it up to spending too long in the hot spring.
The heat, the steam, it was all too much. She quickly climbed out of the water and, along with Bernice, began changing into their clothes.
Yelena, without a word, walked away, heading toward her room. Bella watched her go, a thrill of excitement rushing through her. Everything was going according to plan.
