Chapter 462


    “The mastermind?”


    Everyone’s gaze fell on the beautifuldy when they heard that. Had he said that at any other time, non


    e of them would have believed him. In fact, they might even have brushed it off as a lie. But after everyt


    hing that had happened, they had no choice but to consider his words seriously. After all, they had just


    witnessed a corpse moving around with such vitality. At this point, nothing seemed impossible anymore


    .


    “Hey, miracle doctor, I haven’t crossed you before this, have I? Why are you setting me up?” The beaut


    ifuldy frowned with a troubled expression.


    “Dustin, you better not be using others without solid proof!” Hector warned him gravely. His brother


    had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and now, his wife was used of being the perpetrator.


    This was no doubt rubbing salt in his wound.


    “That’s right! What proof have you got to im that our sister–in–


    “I must have a certain level of confidence to


    use someone of something so severe.” Dustin gazed pointedly at the woman and said, “Quentin’s b


    ody has a unique scent on it. And she has the same smell on her, only much stronger. If you don’t belie


    ve me, go ahead and catch a whiff.”


    A few of thedies who stood close to the woman went closer and sniffed the air around her. Immediat


    ely.


    they nodded. “He’s right! She does have a special scent on her, and it’s the same scent on Quentin’s b


    ody!”


    Everyone’s expression changed when they heard that, and their look on the woman turned wary.


    “I’ve always been using fragrances that I formte myself, and Quentin’s my son! What’s so strange ab


    out my scent rubbing off on him?” She tried her best to exin the situation.


    “The scent is just a point of suspicion. It isn’t solid evidence, and it doesn’t prove anything.” Hector sho


    ok his head. It didn’t make sense to pin the me on someone based on a scent.


    “Of course, that isn’t all.” Dustin approached the woman and circled her as he continued, “People who


    are well- versed in the mystic arts usually have something different about them because they feed the v


    enomous insects that they breed with their blood. With time, some changes will happen to their body.”


    “What changes?” Hector probed.


    “Ordinary people have crimson red blood, but people who practice the mystic arts will have blood which


    is ck and acutely poisonous. All you need to do now is to check her blood, and the truth shall be unc


    overed.” Dustin stated nonchntly.


    *Nonsense!” The woman shouted. “What do you mean you’re going to check my blood? That’s ridiculou


    s!”


    “Celeste, it’d be best to run a test to prove your innocence,” Hector persuaded.


    “What? Do you really believe the rubbish he said?‘ Celeste asked, feeling wronged.


    “This is a grave matter, Celeste. You should cooperate with us on this,” Jacob echoed.


    “Honey, they’re joining hands and putting me in a difficult position! Are you just going to watch as they tr


    eat me like this?” With tears in her eyes, Celeste turned to Trent for help.


    “Jacob! Hector! I’m your elder brother! Are you not going to show me any respect? Trent roared. His so


    n had just passed away, and now, they were turning on his wife. Of course he couldn’t take it.


    “Trent! You’ve got to see the big picture here!” Hector said seriously. “If Celeste is innocent, I’ll make a


    public apology!”


    “That’s right. Trent. This is a matter that affects the future of our family. We can’t risk it! Everyone can b


    e at ease once we just run a quick test on her blood.” Jacob coaxed.


    “Fine! From the looks of it, you’ve all been brainwashed by this rascal!” Trent spat through clenched jaw


    s. Then, he furiously said. “Alright! If you insist on running a test on Celeste’s blood, then fine, we’ll do it

    . But if my wife turns out to be innocent. I’ll cut this brat’s tongue off!”


    “Sure,” Dustin agreed.


    “Honey, you know that the sight of blood makes me faint.” The woman shrunk back with a scared look.


    “Don’t worry. It’ll be over before you know it. Once we prove your innocence, I’ll make sure he pays!” Tr


    ent said confidently.


    “Check her blood.” With


    a wave of Hector’s hand, two women swiftly came forward and proceeded to take a blood sample from


    Celeste.


    But right before they managed to do so, she sighed regrettably. “I never thought


    that I’d be exposed so soon! What a waste of my excellent acting skills.”


    “What?” Trent, who stood by the side, was caught off guard.
