Maintaining a pitiful expression, she said, “I don’t know either, Dylan. Unity just told me she was unwell and wanted to see a doctor. I really don’t know anything else. If you suspect something, why not let Unity come out and confront her face to face?”
As she spoke, she shot a warning glance at Unity.
Unity stiffened, instantly understanding.
As all eyes turned to her, she saw Sophie silently mouth the words, “Don’t forget your family.”
Unity felt a chill run down her spine, her heart turning cold.
Finally choosing to resign to her fate, Unity knelt on the ground and said while crying, “I did it, this has nothing to do with Sophie…
“It was I who used her name to buy the roast duck, and it was also I who secretly poisoned Matthew. After poisoning him, I was afraid of being exposed, so I disposed of the poison and hid it in Anthony’s room. I did all of this.”
“Unity, I trusted you so much, yet you betrayed me and poisoned my brothers!” Seeing that Unity was quite sensible, Sophie immediately played along.
She attempted to be unaware of the situation and completely extract herself from this matter.
“Indeed, I knew it couldn’t have been Sophie.” Benedict smiled confidently.
Benedict smiled confidently.
Anthony, who was lying on the ground, couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But other than the two of them, no one else spoke.
Eliza looked at Unity, who was kneeling on the ground, with an
expressionless face.
She didn’t feel any pity for the maid who was pushed out to plead guilty.
After all, in her previous life, besides Lillian Reed, who betrayed her, it was Unity who had done the most for Sophie.
Now that she had fallen to the point of taking the blame for Sophie, it w was her fault.
However, Eliza felt that Sophie would not be able to get herself out of this like that.
“It is true that Unity bought the roast duck.”
Eliza suddenly nodded, confirming for Sophie. “It is true that Unity bought the roast duck.”
Her action stunned Sophie.
She thought, ‘It is strange. Why did this woman speak for Unity?
‘She must be up to no good.
‘But it doesn’t matter. I indeed asked Unity to buy the roast duck in the first place. Even if the owner of Phoenix Restaurant came to confront me, I wouldn’t be afraid!

Eliza knew this, so she changed the subject, “Then may I ask if it was also Unity who personally delivered the duck to Matthew and made him eat it?”
As soon as this question was asked, Unity didn’t dare to speak.
Everyone knew that Matthew was hard to get close to, and he never ate anything given to him by his servants.
And the one who knew this best was Eliza.
If Unity dared to say it was her, Eliza would immediately see through the lie.
Unable to say much, Unity couldn’t help but look at Sophie.
Sophie cursed in her heart, and finally wiped her tears and said apologetically, “It’s me. It’s all my fault for being so stupid. I didn’t realize that Unity had poisoned the roast duck. I just saw Unity bought the roast duck back, thinking that Matthew must like it very much, so I listened to her and sent the roast duck to Matthew, which caused him to be poisoned.
“It’s all my fault. If I had been smarter, maybe I wouldn’t have been used.”
Unity, who was forced to take the blame, couldn’t help but be shocked by her acting skills and words.
After the shock, she had to continue to cooperate with a sad face. “Yes… Yes, I have deceived Lady Sophie.”
