321: Chapter 321

Chapter 321

The nurse got confused by these two beautiful ladies, looking like they were about to have a boxing match. 2

But she nodded at Kate's request as Mr. Grant had given her authority to visit Dahlia.

"Alright, Miss, I will check on Mrs. Dahlia Grant first. I'll inform you later," the nurse said.

Sarah glanced at the nurse who walked towards Dahlia's ward. All nurses in this mental hospital had been paid to watch over Dahlia and always reported that Dahlia was still clinically insane and should not be discharged. 

So she wouldn't need to worry about the nurse at all.

Sarah returned her eyes to Kate and said, "Where do you want to talk, Miss Katherine?"

"Near the front desk," Kate replied. She didn't want to risk being completely alone and isolated with Sarah in a room. Though she didn't believe Henry's words completely, she was still responsible for protecting her baby from harm. 

"Sure," Sarah knew that Kate was fully on guard against her. Too bad she didn't have that fruit knife coated with poison. She might as well poison this pregnant bitch if she couldn't kill the old one. 

'Well, I have no more weapons now. So I guess we must be civil to each other,' Sarah thought. She walked side by side to Kate and glanced at her a few times.

She expected Kate to fear her a little. After all, she was the official fiancee, while Kate was no more than a mistress. 

But Kate did not show any reluctance or fear. She kept her head high, staring straight at the long corridor heading to the hospital's front desk.

Sarah wondered if Henry had given her a pep talk enough to make her think she was above Sarah, but she couldn't wait to break that confidence until she knew her place. 

They returned to the empty front desk and were surprised by the sight of Mai, who rushed towards them immediately. She stood between Kate and Sarah and glared at the latter even though Mai was very short and small compared to both ladies. 

"Mai? What's wrong? I thought I told you to wait in the car or have breakfast somewhere," Kate asked. 

"Ma'am, I just got a call from Michael, and he got an instruction from Mr. Grant to protect you because this woman in front of us tried to do something to Mrs. Dahlia Grant just now."

"Do something?"

"He didn't specify, but you should leave now, Ma'am. We don't know what she will do next," Mai said as she stretched her arms to ensure Sarah couldn't reach Kate. 

Sarah chuckled as she stared back at the overly cautious petite Asian girl. 

"He didn't specify? Oh well, let me tell you," Sarah took a deep breath and confessed. "I tried to murder Dahlia Grant with a poisonous apple and a fruit knife coated with poison. Too bad I couldn't do it because that old bitch is too smart. It doesn't matter now since I lost interest in her anyway."

Sarah confessed to her crime with a smile. She didn't show any fear, hesitation, or remorse, "You should've set a recording device when I confessed to my crime just now, though. Sadly, you can't use the same trick you did against your ex-husband."

Kate was actually shocked by how indifferent Sarah was. 

She was trying to give her the benefit of the doubt, thinking that Sarah might not be the evil witch Henry described her as.

But seeing how easy it was for her to admit her crime, Kate wondered if Sarah was the same case as Erin, a crazy woman who had no brain. 

Sarah grinned as she understood that Kate was trying to read her, "Don't overthink it, Katherine. I told you everything because there is no reason to hide it anyway."

"Henry already told Michael, and that nurse you sent to check on Dahlia will probably report the same thing. Rather than getting caught red-handed like an idiot, I'd rather admit everything so we can move on from the shock factor and focus on our conversation."

"After all, you still want to talk with me, right?"

"Talk? There is no need to talk!" Mai denied. "Let's go, Ma'am! We need to leave this place as soon as possible!"

Mai grabbed Kate's arm and wanted to drag her out of the mental hospital, but Kate didn't move. She kept her stance while facing Sarah.

"Ma'am?" 

"You can wait for me in the car, Mai. I have a few things I want to ask this woman."

Mai's eyes widened, "Ma'am, she is dangerous! I can't let you put yourself in danger!"

"Oh, come on," Sarah giggled at Mai's reaction. "I have no weapon at all. I've wasted it all to kill Dahlia. I'm also a regular woman, just like you. Do you think I have enough strength to choke her to death? Katherine is taller than me, don't you see?"

"Do you think I'll believe in your bullshit? You're trying to poison a powerless old lady!" Mai yelled back. "Let's go, Ma'am!"

"So noisy," Sarah shifted her eyes back at Kate and smiled, "Why don't you kick your Japanese chihuahua out, Kate? She keeps on barking unnecessarily."

"Watch your mouth, Sarah," Kate warned. "I am ready to talk, but I won't let you insult my subordinate like that."

"Oh my, where is my manner?" Sarah exaggeratedly gasped and said to Mai, "I'm sorry for what I said just now. It's all just a harmless joke. You can go. The adults want to talk."

Mai gritted her teeth. She was about to snap, but Kate warned her, "Wait in the car, Mai. Don't worry. There is surveillance everywhere. She won't be able to hurt me."

"Ma'am—"

Kate gave Mai a suppressing gaze, telling her to leave immediately.

Mai was worried, but seeing how stubborn her boss was, she decided to leave them alone. She'd rather call Michael as a backup. 

"There are only the two of us now," Kate said. "And my first question is…"
