FROM STREETS TO PALACE

THE DANGEROUS DRINK

The Evil Plan

Clara was burning with anger. She wanted Lina dead. She came to the house secretly and met Madame Victoria in the kitchen. They whispered together like two snakes. 🐍

"I cannot stand seeing that girl alive," Clara said with a wicked smile. "I have brought something special. We will put it in her juice. She will drink it, and she will be gone forever. No one will know."

Madame Victoria did not feel sorry at all. She wanted Lina out of her son's life, even by death.

"Good idea," said the mother. "She deserves to die for trying to steal my son."

They took a glass of cold orange juice. secretly, they opened a small bottle and poured poison inside. They stirred it well. The juice looked normal, sweet, and delicious... but it was deadly. ☠️

"Perfect," said Clara. "Call her and tell her to drink this as a sign of apology. She will not refuse."

The Mistake

Lina was called to come to the dining room. She saw the glass of juice on the table.

"Drink it," Madame Victoria said, trying to sound nice but her eyes were cold. "It is just juice. Drink it and we will forgive you for everything."

Lina was suspicious. She knew they hated her. Why were they being nice now? She hesitated. She did not move to take it.

But just at that moment, Sarah, one of Leon's sisters, walked in. She was very thirsty and hot from outside. She saw the beautiful orange juice on the table.

"Oh! Juice!" she said happily. "I am so thirsty!"

Before anyone could stop her, before Clara or her mother could shout, Sarah grabbed the glass and drank it all down in one go! 😲🍹

"AHHH! So sweet!" she said, wiping her mouth.

Clara and Madame Victoria looked at each other. Their faces turned white with fear. 😨💀

"NOOO! That was not for you!" Clara wanted to scream, but she could not. She was trapped.

The Disaster

They all sat down for dinner. Everyone was eating, but Clara and the mother were shaking. They were watching Sarah with terrified eyes.

Suddenly...

Sarah stopped eating. She put her hand on her stomach.

"Ouch... my stomach... it hurts so much..." she groaned. 🤢

Her face turned pale. Her eyes rolled back. The poison was working fast!

"ARGGHHH!!" she screamed loudly.

Then...

THUD!!! 📥💥

She lost all her strength and fell straight off her chair onto the floor! She lay there, motionless, foam coming from her mouth.

The whole room went silent with shock. Lina jumped up in fear.

"SARAH!!!" shouted Madame Victoria, but she knew... she knew it was her own evil plan that had caught her own daughter.
