Chapter 813 One Last Step


    Alina''s POV:


    As I watched Rufus and Sylvia, who had suddenly appeared in front of me, I subconsciously


    touched the ring I''d just worn. I was inexplicably flustered all of a sudden.


    Every time I saw Sylvia, somethingbad happened. Besides, she and Rufus were eyeing me very


    aggressively. They didn''t seem to be here to celebrate the ceremony.


    I forced a smile and tried to look calm. "Prince Rufus, what suddenly brings you here? And your


    mate..."


    Speaking of Sylvia, I paused and then chose the word mate because I really didn''t want to mention


    the name that made me instinctively sick.


    Rufus was still so handsome. It would be better if he didn''t speak. Every time he opened his mouth,


    I wished he could have just been a dumb handsome man.


    But I was not in the mood to admire his goodlooking face now, because my gut was warning me


    that I was doomed.

    Rufus snorted and blurted out, "You look cheerful. You stepped on Leonard''s corpse and got the


    Alpha''s position, and it seems that you actually quite enjoy it."


    "What do you mean?" I was unnerved as I stared at his handsome face. Damn it! What did he mean


    by that? Had I somehow exposed myself?


    I nced at Sylvia again. As expected, she was ring at me as if I had killed her father.


    My heart leaped to my throat, and my back was instantly drenched with cold sweat.


    "Prince Rufus, what do you mean?" Edwin, who looked as frail as a man on his deathbed, suddenly


    became energetic with sharp eyes. "What do you mean by saying that Alina stepped on her father''s


    corpse to ascend to the Alpha position? Haven''t we already found Leonard''s murderer?"


    "No, Alina is the one who killed Leonard."


    Rufus'' words sessfully shocked everyone.


    Edwin, Owen, and the others stared at me in disbelief.


    I took one step back and shook my head frantically. "No! It wasn''t me! How could I kill my father?"


    "That''s right, Prince Rufus. How could Alina kill her own father? He was her biological father, and he


    loved her so much."


    Owen became a little emotional and began to cough violently. Warren rushed to his side tofort


    him.


    Although Edwin was also shocked, he didn''t instantly believe the usation. He fixed his serious


    gaze on Rufus and said, "We can''t simply believe your mere words, Prince Rufus. Do you have any


    evidence?"


    "Perhaps there has been some mistake, Prince Rufus? I''ve watched Alina grow up. She is not that


    kind of cruel person." Owen scrutinized me with aplex expression and seriously asked, "Am I


    right, Alina? I don''t believe you''re the kind of person who would kill her father."


    My lips quivered. "Yes, yes, he was my father!"


    "Anyway, we still need evidence," Edwin interjected.


    I had been racking my brains, trying to recall the whole series of events. I remembered with


    certainty that Noreen was the only one who knew the truth. There was no way she would reveal this


    to Sylvia and the others. Besides, I had tampered the surveince cameras in the corridor, so no


    one else would know what happened.


    How could Rufus have got his hands on any evidence? Maybe he and Sylvia were just bluffing and


    wanted me to implicate myself.


    I inhaled deeply and considered how to give an exnation. Just as I was about to speak, Rufus


    extracted a crystal ball slightly bigger than a fist from the canvas bag Sylvia carried.


    "This crystal ball will show what happened that day. Let''s see if my ims are true or not."


    After saying this, he ced the crystal ball on his palm and was about to activate it.


    I had seen this crystal ball before. Noreen had used it to show me how well my father and Sylvia got


    along in private! So they weren''t pretending!


    Panic overwhelmed me. While no one was paying attention, I charged forward, wanting to smash


    the crystal ball.
