Poison in the parlour, a marriage undone.
Daphne's gilded existence fractures the moment Wesley installs his former protégé Elsie as housekeeper. Behind a courteous smile, Elsie engineers Daphne's isolation, turning the household into a quiet battlefield. The tension curdles into murder when Elsie slips poison to Catherine, Wesley's mother, silencing the matriarch forever. Confronted with the corpse, Wesley executes Elsie with his own hands, a verdict that sends him to prison. Left amid the wreckage, Daphne files for divorce and begins reconstructing a life on her own terms.
