The room went quiet, thick with tension as Jessa and Louise froze, caught by Ella’s accusation.
Moss stared at both of them. Confusion and suspicion flickered in his eyes. “I was drugged last night. What happened?”
He turned to Jessa. “Jessa, I remember you making me coffee. After I drank it, I started feeling strange. Was it you? Did you put something in my cup?”
Jessa’s face drained of color. “Dad, I…”
Ella cut in, her gaze shifting to Louise. “And you, Louise. Mr. Wade went to take a shower, trying to clear his head, and when he came out, you were waiting in his bed. You and Jessa planned this together, didn’t you?”
Before either of them could answer, Ella looked back at Moss. “It’s obvious. Jessa put something in the coffee, Louise lay in wait. They set you up. The two of them worked together, and it was almost perfect.”
Moss’s eyes narrowed, his voice turning icy. “Tell me the truth. Now.”
Jessa’s words came out shaky. “Dad, it was me. I put the drug in your coffee.”
Moss’s anger was sharp, his voice rising. “Why? Why would you do that to me?”
Ella jumped in, her tone scathing. “Jessa, you did it just so Louise could sleep with your dad, right? Why would you betray your own mother like this? Joanna is your mother. Why are you taking sides against her?”
Jessa glared at Ella, her voice cracking. “Shut up, Ella. Just stop talking!”
