Instances where Declan narrowly being caught occurred on multiple occasions, not just once or twice. Gris's actions did not make his guts shrink.
A few days ago, he noticed the presence of an owl around the Silverth mansion. It was strange because this place was not its habitat.
Someone must have brought the owl here on purpose. And now Declan discovered that the owner was Gris.
"Are you spying on me? You must not have found anything," Declan responded with the same smile he offered every day.
Gris smiled back. "It appears I have given you the wrong impression regarding the deadly nightshade. Rowena was planning to give it to me, yet oddly, it was you who introduced her to the toxic plant a few days ago."
"You misunderstood. The plant was there without my knowledge. If you have any doubts, you can make an investigation."
