Chapter 822 Who Dared to Touch Her
"Father..." Mary was speechless, as she didn''t expect that her father would put all the me on her
sister.
"Is that so?" Luci''s beautiful eyes narrowed with suspicion, as she listened to Raef. She had heard
from Lucas that Juey had a close rtionship with Rocky, but she was not very close to the other
members of the Xiao n. And when Raef pushed all the me to Juey, something in her stirred with
suspicion. Thus, she didn''t believe a single word that came from his mouth.
She turned to look at Lucas and the other elders immediately.
"In that case, I have no choice but to have Miss Jueye here so that she can face the chief of the
Xiao n," Lucas said after a short silence, as he thought about what they could do next.
"Go and check if Miss Juey has woken up," Luci instantlymanded.
When Raef heard this, his heart skipped a beat and started beating fast. But it hade to this
situation, so he would not show mercy, not even to his daughter. Anyway, he needed to ensure that the
Xiao n would not be affected.
About half an hourter, Juey was taken to the Magnificent Hall. She didn''t know what had happened
were looking at her strangely.
"Miss Juey, why did you stay in His Royal Highness''s roomst night? Do you know anything about the
disappearance of His Royal Highness?" Luci asked as soon as Juey stepped her foot inside the hall.
"Miss Luci, I have no idea about what you are talking about. I don''t know anything about why I woke
up in that room or where His Royal Highness is." Juey frowned. No matter what she did, she couldn''t
remember what had happened, and the only thing she could remember was that she had suddenly lost
consciousness after she drank the tea that Mary gave her. She couldn''t remember what happened
afterward.
"Juey, don''t lie to us. I''m sure you sneaked into His Royal Highness''s roomst night to take Mary''s
ce. How dare you! Don''t you know who you are? How could you take advantage of this to get
yourself into the upper ss? I am ashamed that I have a daughter like you!" Raef spoke harshly, and
as soon as Juey heard his acidic usations, she was struck dumb.
Her face flushed in shame and anger, especially with how her father was treating her. Although she did
not know what happened to her, it was clear that it was her father who framed her with an unknown
crime. A strong wave of sorrow suddenly overcame her, as she was so disappointed by her father''s
actions.
"Just admit it, Juey. Otherwise, our Xiao n will be implicated. You know that the disappearance of
His Royal Highness has nothing to do with our Xiao n. If you admit it, our father will plead with Chief
Luci for mercy..." Travis added. The truth was he was also in their father''s n.
At the same time, the other members of the Xiao n also started whispering to each other, as they
discretely pointed at Juey, no doubt talking about her.
Juey trembled, and she looked down at her feet and away from their judging looks. She had never
thought that her father would ruthlessly abandon her again as if she was some worthless garbage.
"Miss Juey, do you have anything else you want to say?" Luci asked when she noticed that Juey
didn''t utter a word. How could she though, when her whole family was ganging up on her?
"I have nothing more to say." Juey shook her head helplessly, and at the back of her mind, she knew
that no exnation could convince the people in the hall, especially when most of them used her of
the crime anyway.
"So, do you admit that you sneaked into His Royal Highness''s room?" Luci asked.
"I didn''t say that, but you''re already convinced I''m guilty, right?" Juey said, unable to hide the bitterness
in her voice.
"No, this doesn''t even matter. What really matters is the reason why His Royal Highness disappeared.
Could he have been kidnapped?" Luci waved her hand in a dismissive gesture, as the issues of their
family meant nothing to her anyway.
"I really don''t know. Even if you killed me, I will still give you the same answer." Juey sighed in despair,
but she was telling the truth, so she would remain steadfast in her answers.
The situation was giving Luci a headache. But if she didn''t deal with it soon, it would only get worse,
and her uncles would take advantage of it. If she failed to protect Prince Woods, she would be med
by Princess Alyssa.
Then, the situation worsened faster than she expected. A voice echoed from the entrance of the hall.
"Luci, I heard that His Royal Highness was missing. What happened?" It was her uncle, Tod, who
hade rushing into the Magnificent Hall, much to the people''s surprise. He was the only one, out of
the four hall leaders, that didn''t appearst night.
"Uncle Tod, it is still under investigation. I don''t think His Royal Highness is missing," Luci spoke with
vague words, caught by surprise by his uncle''s arrival. Although it was inevitable that he would find out,
she didn''t expect it to happen this soon, so someone must have leaked the information. She remained
calm, but in her mind, she promised to rain hell for that person that leaked the news.
"Investigation? What do you need to investigate? Someone must have kidnapped His Royal Highness,

and our Cao n will be exterminated if Princess Alyssa finds out about this. As the chief of the Cao
n, what are you doing?" Tod said anxiously.
"Uncle Tod, don''t worry about it. Everything is under control." Luci rolled her eyes at her uncle''s
obvious ploy to stir up trouble, and a deep frown marred her beautiful face.
"Under control? If everything is under control, why is His Royal Highness missing?" Before she could
answer, several people came in, and one of them was Freddy, her third uncle and the hall leader of the
Mystery Hall.
"You should treat this matter with delicacy. Besides, I heard that there was a naked woman in His Royal
Highness''s room, and they said that she is ady from the Xiao n. So, the Xiao n probably did it
on purpose to kidnap His Royal Highness. And by the way, I also heard that someone in the Xiao n
humiliated my son in publicst time, and that person didn''t take the Cao n seriously. They must
have been betraying us for so long!" As Tod spoke, his eyes wandered around the crowd and quickly
settled on Raef. A few days ago, his son told him that there was a fellow from the Xiao n who
humiliated him publicly. He had long nned to deal with the Xiao n, but when he heard that the
guy who embarrassed his son was rmended by Lucas personally, he lost his confidence and
couldn''t take any action. But now, the Xiao n had thrown themselves into the fire, which gave him a
chance to exact his revenge.
"Hall leader Tod, it''s her." A disciple who was standing behind Tod pointed at Juey usingly. Tod had
Juey like she was disgusting and quicklymanded the disciples with him to capture her.
"I knew, from the very first time that Iid eyes on her, that she is an unscrupulous woman. Arrest her
now! We won''t let her go until we find His Royal Highness."
As soon as he finished speaking, two disciples of the Cao n came up behind him, ready to seize
Juey. And when Luci saw this, she realized that her uncle wanted to take away the only clue that she
had on Prince Woods''s disappearance, which he undoubtedly nned to put her in a disadvantageous
position.
She was about to stop Tod and the guards when a figure suddenly appeared. He was quite strong, as
he flung away the two disciples who were about to arrest Juey like ragged dolls, and theynded on the
ground a few feet away, whimpering like babies.
"Who else dares to touch her?" the figure hissed quietly, but despite the low tone of his voice, there
was a firm and ruthless quality to it, like a sharp knife that cut the air from the hall.
