Chapter 314 Confinement


    Alina''s POV:


    Laura snorted as she poured a cup of tea for herself and took a slow sip without even looking at me.


    "What do you mean? Please, tell me." I walked over to her and pleaded.


    Laura gracefully put down her tea cup and gently patted my hand. "Well, since you didn''t have the


    heart to end the rtionship, I can do it for you." In disbelief, I shook my head.


    Laura sighed and looked at me, her eyes filled with pity. "I know Tom works for you. Did you really


    think you could hide things from me in this pce? And I already met Tom. He was very d to help


    you get rid of Warren in the forbidden forest."


    Laura''s eyes nced at the expensive watch on her wrist and slightly gasped. "Oh, look at the time.


    By this hour, he should have already seeded with the n."


    My mind nked, as if dozens of bombs exploded at the same time and blinded my mind. The


    temperature of my body dropped severely, which sent me into a fit of shivers.


    Warren was already dead. But how could he just die like that?


    My lips trembled, but no sound came out of them. It seemed that there was something stuck in my


    throat, as I was unable to get even a word out of my mouth.


    "What is with you? Aren''t you happy I removed that big obstacle for you?" Laura reached up to tuck


    some fallen hair behind my ear. She spoke in a gentle tone, "You can''t just keep putting off


    something like that. I cannot allow a walking time-bomb like him to just freely walk in the pce.


    Even if somehow Warren doesn''t die today, I will see to it that he will one day."


    I moved away from Laura''s hand and red at her. "How could you do such a thing?"


    Laura sneered. "Why wouldn''t I?"


    Before I could think of a quick response, a crisp pnded right on my cheek. Her p was so


    hard that the force caused me to turn my head to the side and hit the table. The pain instantly jolted


    me back to reality.


    "I am the queen of the pce, have you forgotten?" Laura grabbed a fistful of my hair and yanked it


    back. With a cold look, she warned, "It only takes one word from me to make you disappear from


    the face of the earth. Did you seriously think I would never hurt you? Humph!"


    Trembling, I violently shook my head in response. But I was too scared to even look at her. If I had


    known she could be this vicious to me, I would have thought twice before contradicting her.


    "Don''t even think of betraying me, or else I can easily think of a million ways to torture you until you


    die." Laura scoffed and shoved me to the ground.


    With my face to the floor, I clenched my fists in hatred.


    At this time, one of the guards outside suddenly stepped in. "Your Majesty! We''ve got bad news.


    Prince Rufus has broken out of prison!"


    "What? What did you just tell me?" Laura hurriedly stood up. In shock, she even almost lost her


    bnce.


    Even I was shocked by this bold move by Rufus. Breaking out of prison was a very serious crime.


    How could he have the audacity to do such a thing right now?


    "Yes. Prince Richard has already sent his soldiers after him, but Prince Rufus still managed to


    escape into the forbidden forest. This happened around twenty minutes ago," the guard reported.


    Laura was furious. "I can''t believe this! It''s been twenty minutes and you only tell me about this


    now?"


    She then gathered up her people to leave. I also got up from the ground and wanted to have a look


    for myself.


    But I didn''t expect Laura to order me to stay behind. She even locked me up in the room and told


    me to reflect on my behavior. I tried to make a scene at the door, but the guard that was stationed to


    keep me inside just looked at me with a nk face.


    No matter how hard I cried, it was useless. Laura had already made up her mind. She wanted to


    keep me here to pave the way for Rufus.


    I needed to inform my father, but I had no one on my side anymore. Coco, my maid since childhood,


    had died as well. Now, the pce was just full of Laura''s people.


    Warren then popped up in my mind. Somewhere in the forbidden forest, he was probably already


    dead. At that thought, I was ovee with an inexplicable grief. I had never felt so much guilt and


    regret in my life.Original content from N?velDrama.Org.
