Chapter 243


    J raised a brow and stared back at him defiantly, “Huge trouble? Like what? Are you going to


    lock me in your study again?”


    Westin grinned, shing his white teeth, “That is a very good idea. And this time. when you beg me


    to stop….I won’t stop.”


    J gave a huge heave and forced out a cold smile as well, “Rx. 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 red 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 J, why are you still standing there?”


    Elder Lamonte stood up from the House of Shadow’s table and raised his ss,


    “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.” J said 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 sped his leg, taking a bite at his leg.


    It was Agnes’s son, Bryan.


    “Let go of my mom!” the child shrieked.


    Clemente grabbed the child by his cor and shoved him at a servant.


    “Take Master Bryan to another room!” he ordered.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    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 aplete nk. 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–inw…”


    “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.


    Augh of disbelief escaped his mouth as he gasped, “Clemente…for Moon. Goddess’s sake


    Clemente! Did you bump your head somewhere? Andpletely 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 thesee from?” 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 J and 1.” Clemente’s eyes fell on J, “I couldn’t have done these. without here.”


    Westin followed Clemente’s gaze and looked at J. Different from Clemente’s, his eyes were


    very cold.


    J let 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


    surveince footage?”


    Clemente did what she asked. And J exined 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 thebels? 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 inly 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…”


    J looked at him from the side with calm eyes.


    People 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 came rushing into the dining hall and handed a file to Clemente.


    Clemente opened the file.


    His eyes were lit with excitement.


    “We found the hard proof!” he cried, “Agnes sold the poison to the restaurant owner! And we have


    all the chat records between her and the owner! She even hired a mercenary to kill the owner


    tonight. The owner’s body is still lying in the prison cell at this very moment….Agnes! Are you still


    going to deny all these?!”


    All eyes were on Agnes right now.


    Elder Lamonte’s lips trembled his expression aplete shock.


    “A–Agnes…darling….Aren’t you going to say something?” he shook Agnes’s shoulder, “They got


    things wrong, didn’t they? Tell them that…Hurry…”


    Agnes’s shoulders trembled.


    She startedughing. Gradually, herughter grew louder and louder. It became hysterical.


    “What are youughing at? Tell them that they were wrong!” Elder Lamonte snapped.


    Agnes’s body shook withughter. She stared at J. 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…”


    Agnesughed 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 cor 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-”


    “He is the reason why I can’t be with Westin!” Agnes shrieked, grinning savagely. “Why did the


    Moon Goddess assign me to him? He was so soft and weak! He was not half as attractive as


    Westin! I wanted him dead the day we mated!


    “My brother is the noblest man I know!” Clemente cried.


    “Noble my ass. Keavy was a puss,” Agnes snorted. “So. If you need to me anyone, me


    Westin. He is the reason why I killed Keavy.”


    Westin gave a shudder.


    J looked at him and found that his gorgeous eyes were filled with pain and


    sorrow.
