Stefan could see right through Martha’s sadness with just one nce. He let out a sigh and tried tofort her, “There’s no evidence yet, don’t jump to conclusions so quickly.”


    “He’s right. Let my men investigate further before we make any decisions,” King Ducasse added in agreement before turning to the guard standing beside him.Text ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    “You lead a team and continue the investigation. Be careful not to be detected,” he instructed.


    “Yes,” the guard replied before leaving to arrange for undercover investigations.


    After a moment of silence among the remaining three people in Side Pce, King Ducasse broke it by saying, “It’s gettingte now. I’ll leave you two alone. Rest well.”


    “Mhm,” Stefan responded indifferently without any intention of continuing the conversation.


    After King Ducasse left, Martha looked at Stefan with concern and asked, “Does your wound still hurt?”


    “I’m fine now. Don’t worry too much about it. Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding?” Stefan tried his best to reassure her while worrying that she might not be able to ept it if this incident turned out true.


    Martha nodded absentmindedly, then changed the subject.


    After chatting for a few more minutes, Martha left Side Pce.


    King Ducasse’s men quickly found some results from their investigation.


    Martha returned again in the afternoon of the next day, only to find both King Ducasse and Stefan looking grave inside Side Pce when she entered.


    Confused by their expressions, she furrowed her brows slightly and asked them directly, “What happened?”


    King Ducasse nced at his guard who then repeated what they had discovered during their investigation.


    “We sent someone undercover into rk’s pharmaceutical factory, only to discover that they weren’t producing regr medicine but instead were developing various illegal medicines.”


    The guard’s words made Martha’s heart sink, as Uncle rk was involved in Catherine’s case after all. Maybe he was the mastermind she had been searching for all along.


    At that moment, she suddenly felt sorry for her grandmother.


    Her eldest daughter was murdered, her eldest son was sentenced to death, and now her second son was producing illegal medicines.


    If Grandma knew about Uncle rk’s situation, she would be sadder.


    As Martha thought of this, she had mixed feelings.


    After a moment of silence, King Ducasse said sternly, “Take him away. Lock up rk now!”


    Producing banned medication in Z Country was a major crime that could result in immediate execution.


    A woman standing nearby shook her head gently and spoke up to stop King Ducasse, “No. We can’t arrest him right now.”


    “Why not?”


    King Ducasse looked excitedly at Martha with determination written all over his face.


    The incident involving his mother on the hall caused an uproar among the people of Z Country. Now he finally had a chance to prove his mother’s innocence; how could he not be anxious?


    Martha pursed her lips and calmly analyzed, “If we arrest him at this time without evidence or witnesses, it will only alert him. Catherine has gone insane, so she can’t testify. Then we have no reason to make rk pay for anything.”
