Silas's razor-sharp gaze had landed on Daisy. A stern command escaped his mouth. "Caleb, search her desk."

"Yes, boss." Caleb moved with swift efficiency. He rummaged through Daisy's desk, his fingers probing every drawer, before turning his attention to her bag. A moment later, he held aloft a small, white vial.

"Yes, this one," Emma exclaimed, her voice sharp with accusation. "I saw her spilling something from it into the water."

A heavy silence descended upon the room as all eyes turned to Daisy. She stood motionless, her face a mask of defiance. Her eyes, however, held a flicker of fear that was quickly extinguished. This was her moment of reckoning, and she would face it with her head held high.

Silas's voice was a thunderclap in the still air. "Explain, Daisy!" he roared, his face flushed with anger.
