I glared at Jayla angrily.
I knew I had to do something.
For now, I had to swallow my anger and pretend to be calm.
I smiled at the children and said, âYou should all get some rest.
Come on, thereâs a safe place just over there.
â
âOkay!â
After what happened just now, the children all trusted me and followed my instructions obediently.
Then I checked on Zoe and made sure sheâd be okay.
When everything was settled, I faced Jayla alone.
âCan we talk?â
To my surprise, Jayla didnât seem to be afraid of me at all.
She gave me a scornful look and replied briskly, âFine.
â
I led her to a quiet corridor where weâd be alone.
Jayla was the one who spoke first.

âDebra, youâd be a fool if you blamed me for what happened in the gym.
â
She squinted at me with disdain and said arrogantly, âItâs inevitable for kids to get injured in sports.
Donât blame me just because youâre worried about your daughter.
â
I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
No wonder Jayla was so calm.
She probably thought that I just wanted to scold her for that stray ball that flew at Elenaâs head.
She had no idea that I knew that she was the one who coerced Betty into drugging my daughter.
âWhy did you tell Betty to drug Elena?â

Jayla stood there, her jaw slightly dropping in disbelief.
A flush of embarrassment tinged her cheeks.
âWhat drug? What do you mean?â
I didnât mince my words.
âThere was some sort of medicine mixed into the snack that Betty gave to Elena, causing her blood pressure to drop.
I know Betty couldnât have done it.
Just a moment ago, when she was about to reveal who gave her the snacks, you stepped in and interrupted her.
Itâs pretty clear you orchestrated this.
Donât think your little ploy can deceive me.
â
Attempting to regain her composure, Jayla denied any involvement, claiming, âIâve never resorted to such schemes.
It has nothing to do with me.
Donât slander me.
â
I sneered in response, baring my teeth mockingly.
