Chapter 839 The Mastermind Behind It


    Sylvia''s POV:


    It was noon and the sun was out and beaming. I snuggled in a rocking chair, reading a book while


    wrapped in a cashmere nket.


    Maya barged into my room for the third time. But this time, unlike the previous two, she looked


    scared and anxious.


    "Miss Todd, Mr. Myers is here again. The guards have blocked him outside. Do you want to see


    him? This is the third time that he hase here today. He brought an umbre with him so I think


    he''s going to sit outside until you agree to see him."


    "Just ignore him. I don''t want to see him." Without raising my head, I flipped the page slowly and


    picked up a grape and put it into my mouth.


    "But why, Miss Todd? Don''t you have a good rtionship with Mr. Myers?" Maya asked in


    confusion.


    I heaved out a sigh, put down the book, and lifted my sight to Maya worriedly. "I understand that


    Harry wants to save Joanna, but there is nothing I can do. Yesterday, Rufus clearly warned me not


    to be involved in this issue."


    "But are you really going to just stay out of it? Poor Mr. Myers looks so anxious outside."


    Before Maya could finish her words, Harry''s voice came from outside the window. He was begging


    me to help him.


    Annoyed beyond reason, I mped my hands over my ears and told Maya to shut the window. To


    which Maya responded hesitantly, "Miss Todd, why don''t you meet him? Unless something drastic


    happens, Mr. Myers isn''t going to give up without a fight. He might even keep bothering you."


    "There is no point in seeing him now. It would only make things worse. Now that we''ve confirmed


    that Joanna really killed Ethan, she''s going to be sentenced to death!"

    "What? The lycan king is dead?" Maya felt a jolt to her very core, utterly in shock.


    I quickly covered my mouth and blinked in panic. "Don''t... Don''t tell anyone about this." Rufus


    worked so hard to keep this a secret. He is afraid it will stir chaos in the empire."


    Maya couldn''t believe her ears. She seemed both shocked and confused. "What happened? Why


    did he die so suddenly? You said Joanna killed him? But she denied it, didn''t she?"


    "I''m sure Joanna was only fumbling for excuses to absolve herself of the guilt. Last night, after


    much convincing and torturing on the part of Rufus, she finally confessed. Now that Ethan is dead,


    there is no way that she would survive. Poor Harry. Now he is going to lose his mate." With a sigh, I


    sat up and looked out of the window. Harry''s voice came from outside again. He would probably


    stay there outside the entire day.


    "Go and get some water and cakes for Harry. I may not be of help to him now, but he is still my


    friend. I feel sorry for him," I said softly.


    "Yes, Miss Todd."


    After receiving my order, Maya left. I turned around and stared at her back with deep eyes.


    The following morning, Harry came and begged me to see him again. I asked Maya to bring him


    some water, and like usual, he left when he got tired.


    At noon, Rufus came back with some news.


    "The king''s death has spread in a small area of the imperial pce. People are talking that you are


    the one behind it, and I hide the truth in order to cover up for you."


    After hearing that, I breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems that our n has seeded. Poor Harry has


    been incessantly shouting outside the past two days. I think his voice has gone hoarse."


    "If he didn''t try his best to put up a real enough act, they just won''t believe it." Rufus sneered and


    led me to the table. He had already dismissed the servants and guards, and sent Maya to the


    suburban manor to fetch something.


    "So what should we do next?" I asked curiously.


    "Simple. We escte the conflict."
