Chapter 243
Jraised a brow and stared back at him defiantly, “Huge trouble? Like what? Are you going to lock
Westin grinned, flashing his white teeth, “That is a very good idea. And this time. when you begto
stop….I won’t stop.”
Jgave a huge heave and forced out a cold smile as well, “Relax. I won’t escape. your side again.
Nevertheless…you ARE the father of my child.”
Now it was Westin’s turn to darken his face.
They glared at each other with only an inch of gap between their faces. The others would probably
think that they were intimate. But only the two of them could see the
cold gleam in each other’s eyes.
“Queen Janet, why are you still standing there?”
Elder Lamonte stood up from the House of Shadow’s table and raised his glass,
“Please take your seat. Let us toast to you!”
“Hear! Hear!” a lot of elders echoed with him, “Let us toast to the hero who found. out the truth of this
conspiracy!”
Agnes was sitting by the table as well, holding her head down.
Many elders had stood up. But only she remained sitting, hiding her face in the shadow.
“Not so fast, Elder Lamonte.” Jsaid with a cold smile, “There is still one more business to be
tackled before we start celebrating.”
She gave a nod to Clemente, who bore down upon Agnes and grabbed her wrist.
“You! OUT!”
He snarled and yanked Agnes up from her seat.
A round of gasps could be heard in the room.
“What is going on here!” cried an elder in shock.
A tiny figure rushed at him and clasped his leg, taking a bite at his leg.
It was Agnes’s son, Bryan.
“Let go of my mom!” the child shrieked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClemente grabbed the child by his collar and shoved him at a servant.
“Take Master Bryan to another room!” he ordered.
Then he dragged Agnes to the center of the hall and tossed her on the ground.
Agnes remained quiet during this whole time. Her face was a complete blank. Nobody could guess
what she was thinking right now.
“Clemente!” Elder Lamonte snarled, “Are you fucking crazy?!”
Clemente jerked around to his father, his eyes wide with rage, “No…I am not crazy, father. It is you who
was blinded by this bitch’s lie!!! We all were!”
“What the fuck–That is Agnes! Keavy’s mate! Your sister–in–law…”
“And SHE KILLED KEAVY!” Clemente cried at the top of his lungs.
His roar echoed in the room, bringing the entire hall into a deathly silence.
Shock, perplex, and doubt…flitted across people’s faces as they stared at Clemente as though he was
insane.
Elder Lamonte’s jaw dropped.
A laugh of disbelief escaped his mouth as he gasped, “Clemente…for Moon. Goddess’s sake
Clemente! Did you bump your head somewhere? And completely lost your fucking mind?! The
restaurant owner killed him by mistake! You told us yourself-”
“That is what Agnes wants us to believe!” Clemente said with tears in his eyes. we are all fooled…BY
HER!
“But
He pointed a shaky finger at Agnes.
Agnes still hadn’t said anything.
She sank to the floor with her eyes gazing into the distance as though she had lost her entire soul.
“Where did all these cfrom?” Westin asked, a tight furrow between his brows. “We haven’t found
the guy responsible for Elder Randy’s poison case yet. What makes you believe that/Agnes did it?”
“We have proof!”
Clemente stepped up and pulled out his phone from his pocket.
He had saved all the evidence on his phone so that he could present it to people.
“The red eyeballs…Elder Randy’s symptom matches with Keavy’s, which is why we started
reinvestigating Keavy’s case-
“We?” Westin interrupted him.
“Queen Jand 1.” Clemente’s eyes fell on Janet, “I couldn’t have done these. without here.”
Westin followed Clemente’s gaze and looked at Janet. Different from Clemente’s, his eyes were very
cold.
Jlet out a snort internally..
Westin was probably pissed that she went on digging the ancient history behind his back.
But what could he do?
She had done it already.
She ignored Westin’s cold gaze and added, “So we started looking into Keavy’s case and noticed the
restaurant owner’s crime. That part you already knew…”
“Yes, we did! So why are we still talking about it?” Elder Lamonte snapped.
“Because we found Agnes’s involvement. Clemente, can you show them the phone record and the
surveillance footage?”
Clemente did what she asked. And Jexplained her theory.
After seeing this evidence, many people’s faces changed.
They started casting skeptical looks upon Agnes.
Yet Elder Lamonte still stood firmly by Agnes’s side, a tough look on his face. “That proves nothing!” he
snarled, “Agnes was hit by the owner’s car, but can you prove that she swapped the labels? No. Agnes
called the patrol center, but did she do it to divert Clemente? I don’t think so. She was probably asking
for help on behalf of a friend-”
“FATHER!” Clemente cried with bloodshot eyes, “How did she get into your head?! The truth is laying
plainly in front of your eyes-”
“SHUT UP!” his father roared back at him, “This is Agnes for Christ’s sake. She loves. your brother!
She raised his only child! She is like my own daughter! No…No! Everything you showed us is shaky! I
won’t buy it…”
Jlooked at him from the side with calm eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPeople didn’t like to admit to their own blindness. She got it.
Which was why they needed something strong to convince Elder Lamonte.
Just then, a servant crushing into the dining hall and handed a file to Clemente.
Clemente opened the file.
His eyes were lit with excitement.
All eyes were on Agnes right now.
Elder Lamonte’s lips trembled his expression a complete shock.
Agnes’s shoulders trembled.
She started laughing. Gradually, her laughter grew louder and louder. It bechysterical.
“What are you laughing at? Tell them that they were wrong!” Elder Lamonte snapped.
Agnes’s body shook with laughter. She stared at Janet. His lips were twisted by an evil grin.
“I…I already sensed that I was losing…When Westin brought this skank back to our Kingdom…” she
giggled. “This skank…she ruined everything…”
Westin balled his fists and gritted, “Agnes-
“Oh, Westin….the things I have done for you…like you wouldn’t believe it…”
Agnes laughed so hard that she had to gasp for breath, “But why do you have to love.
this cold skank? Does she even love
you back? But I do, Westin! I DO!!! I love you fiercely! I am willing to destroy the whole world just to be
with you-”
Elder Lamonte grabbed her collar and yanked her to his face.
“You love the King?! Then what about my son?!” he snarled shakily, “MY SON! He gave you his heart
and soul and an adorable child-”
“My brother is the noblest man I know!” Clemente cried.
“Noble my ass. Keavy was a puss,” Agnes snorted. “So. If you need to blanyone, blWestin.
He is the reason why I killed Keavy.”
Westin gave a shudder.
Jlooked at him and found that his gorgeous eyes were filled with pain and
sorrow.
