Dahlia grinned at Penny, "Do you think I don't know that you spiked my son's drink, street whore?"
"Y—You are speaking nonsense! Why would I do that to James!"
"Because you want what I have," Dahlia replied. "You want to be born from a good family, to be raised right, and to have a perfect family of your own."
