The words snapped out of her so quickly that Isabella had to give her a look at once.
Not a hard look.
Just enough.
Shelia caught it and immediately bit the rest back.
That was because she understood. If she said too much in the wrong way now, then all the men in this room would stop listening and start killing. And since Isabella clearly had some longer plan in mind, ruining it here would only make things messier.
Still, Shelia's anger did not lessen.
Her hands were already clenched, and the memory of that day had come back too easily. She still remembered the deadly poison, the fear, the weakness, the humiliation of not even knowing what had been done to her until it was too late. So hearing that Zara had been in their midst this whole time made her blood boil.
Luca reacted next.
"Then I should go kill her and end all of this."
He was already half rising.
Isabella immediately said, "Get your ass back here."
That made him stop.
Only because it was Isabella.
