Mrs Rhys’s suspicions about Mrs Gruffudd’s involvement in illicit activities had been growing, and she felt compelled to investigate further. She decided to pay Mrs Gruffudd a visit at her allotment, hoping to get some answers.
As she approached Mrs Gruffudd’s plot, Mrs Rhys noticed something strange hidden away in a dark corner of the plot. Cautiously she moved closer, only to stumble upon a hidden laboratory tucked away in a makeshift shed.
Before she could process her discovery, Mrs Gruffudd emerged from the shadows, a mixture of surprise and apprehension crossing her face. “Mrs Rhys, what are you doing here?” she asked.
Ignoring Mrs Gruffudd’s question, Mrs Rhys pointed to the equipment in the shed. “What is all this, Mrs Gruffudd? What are you hiding?”
With a sigh, Mrs Gruffudd decided she had no option other than to come clean. “I suppose there’s no use denying it now. Yes, Mrs Rhys, I was responsible for creating Covid-19.”
Shock reverberated through Mrs Rhys as she struggled to comprehend the magnitude of Mrs Gruffudd’s revelation. “But why?” she demanded, her voice trembling with disbelief.
Mrs Gruffudd’s expression softened as she explained, “I did it to ensure Ioan was stuck in Australia, where he was filming Harrow. I needed time for him to come to his senses and leave Alice. Although I previously rescued him from a cult, Alice was proving harder work.”
Mrs Rhys staggered backward, unable to fathom the depths of Mrs Gruffudd’s actions. The village of Llwydcoed had become entangled in a web of deceit and manipulation, and Mrs Rhys realized that she had stumbled upon a truth far more sinister than she had ever imagined.
Unbeknownst to Mrs Rhys, Mrs Gruffudd harboured another dark secret, one she chose to keep hidden even as she confessed to creating Covid-19. She remained silent about Ioan’s clandestine activities while filming Harrow in Australia. Ioan had been acting as a drug runner for the cast and crew, catering to their insatiable appetite for masses of cocaine. Evil HQ’s profits had skyrocketed as a result of this lucrative enterprise, further entangling Mrs Gruffudd in a web of deception and criminality. The weight of these additional secrets weighed heavily on her conscience, but she was determined to protect her illicit global import and export empire at all costs.
As the weight of Mrs Gruffudd’s confession settled upon her, Mrs Rhys knew that she had a decision to make. The tranquility of their once-peaceful village had been shattered, and the secrets that lay buried beneath the surface were finally beginning to emerge. It was only a matter of time before the truth would be revealed, and the consequences would be far-reaching for everyone involved.
