Chapter 0186
I listen to her, not questioning her on anything. Although several of the people present asked her
questions asionally, I am waiting for her to finish.
She’s a good actress, she’s in tears already, rocking in her chair and rubbing her belly.
“Are you finished?” I ask.
“Y-yes…” she says as I motion one of the guards to pass her a tissue.
Once silence falls across the room, sit forward.
“And in your time in confinement, they didn’t even allow you to talk to anyone?”
She shakes her head.
I nod slowly. “You really are an awful mother, Ate, why did you never search for your daughter?”
They both tense before Ate sits up straight.
“I thought she was just upset and needed time. Can you me me? I never thought something like this
would happen.” She says, stroking– An nalise’s arm. “My child went through so much.”

“Hmm, indeed. So, you never tried to reach out to her or talk to her? For three years? Not hearing
anything from her did not worry you?”
“I did! I left voice messages, hoping at some point she’ll answer or pick up or even reply to a text!”
Ate says.
Bingo.
I smile victoriously as An nalise looks at me suspiciously.

“Yet not once were you able to talk to her…” I say calmly. Victory is mine.
Ate nods and A nnalise pales as she turns to her mom, grabbing her wrist and trying to get her
attention.
Oh, she’s caught on…
“I see, three years without being able to meet or talk to your daughter must have been hard, and then
knowing what she’s been through.” Ate nods vigorously before I pick up a file.
“Then exin to me these emails, photos, texts, and calls you two made to one another during her
apparent kidnapping. I thought perhaps someone may have been replying for her. I mean to make it
real, but then seeing all these proves it’s her, and did you forget about these? Luna Ate?” I say as I
pass everyone a copy.
I got these thanks to Dad. He had gone through Ate’sputer and managed to find me the proof
he needed.
My aim is to free Dad from Ate too.
“Those are fake!” A nnalise screams
“Oh? Then what of the phone calls? Thanks to you letting your mother know exactly where you were
visiting, I was able to track down if you were staying in the area and you were. I’m so happy to hear you
were not kidnapped. Also, I questioned Alpha Hugh, and he said he spoke to you on the phone a few
times. Am I wrong?”
“That…” An nalise looks at her Mom helplessly, almost as if for guidance.
“We know he favours you!” Ate uses.
“Does he? If records stand for anything, only recently in thest few years have we amended our
rtionship. However, when I asked him,

he didn’t even know that you had been kidnapped. Why would you keep such a thing from your own
father? Please do enlighten me.”
“There’s… there’s no proof of that. I…” An nalise mumbles.
“I have Dad’s confirmation right here on video, however, the logical question is why would you hide
your kidnapping from a powerful man who could bring your imaginary kidnappers to justice? If it was
true, I mean.”
“1-”
“Because it’s a lie! It was a lie to drive Sebastian and me apart, am I wrong?”
“No, it’s just-”
“You cooked up a story and spread false ims. Not only were you the cause of my divorce, but also
the one who put false usations on me, correct?!”
I don’t let her speak, her face paling, but there’s also anger.
“You are a liar who deserves to rot in prison and as you are still part of this pack, I will have you arrest-”
“No! No, I won’t go to prison! I did what I had to! I had to say that!” she screams, her voice ringing in the
room, and I sit back slowly.
She broke as I predicted…
“By who?” I ask quietly as all colour drains from her face, realising what she has just done…
but it’s toote now.
