Aurora looked at Agnes, frozen, her eyes wide with alarm.…What was Agnes doing here?!Had Agnes found out what she was up to already?“What was with that horrified face?” Agnes raised an eyebrow, “And what were you looking at?”Keavy’s medical record was still lying on the floor, at Aurora’s feet.
“Funny. I see.”Aurora crossed her arms and directed a searching look upon Agnes.Agnes was still sobbing into her palms. But she was also peeking at Aurora’s reaction through her fingers.Aurora could tell that Agnes was on edge.She pondered for a few moments and raised her chin, “…Fine.”Clemente
Telling Clemente seemed like a reckless move since he was on Agnes’s side right now and was very loyal to her.But Aurora had thought this through already.First of all, she needed an errand boy.This was the Lycan’s kingdom. She needed someone from the inside to conduct her investigation.Clemente
“Yes! Yes, there is!” cried the tall brunette grumpily. “Mr. Keavy didn’t tell us about his allergy when he placed his order. Maybe he had some strange allergies that nobody knew of and the food came from us…So fine! But we have paid the fine already. We fired our chef. The restaurant was shut down
The owner of the restaurant was brought back for questioning.They shoved him into the interrogation room.Aurora went in to talk to him first.The owner sat stiffly behind the table. There was a mixed expression of anger and panic on his face.“What is this all about!” he cried furiously, “I told y
“Are you sure that you never put it to action?” Clemente asked in an intimidating voice, “Then explain this car accident. It was your car. And it happened 5 years ago, on the same night that Keavy died, at 6:45, which was the exact time that you left the restaurant and were heading to Keavy’s house.
Aurora hesitated for a while and decided to share her doubts with Clemente.“Clemente, I still feel that there are missing parts in this thing…” she said.“About what? The owner admitted to his crime already,” Clemente looked confused.“The owner is responsible for Keavy’s death. But what about Elde
Aurora looked over and found that it was Elder Lamonte.By his side was Agnes, with her head held down.“…Queen Aurora,” Elder Lamonte gave a nod to Aurora.There was an awkward smile on his face.It looked as though he was trying to show his gratitude yet wasn’t quite used to that expression.“Than
“ENOUGH.”Damien spoke up and silenced the whole crowd.“There was no point arguing about this.” He said in a cold voice, “Take these cookies and cake to the lab and see if there is any peanut in it. The truth will speak for itself.”The soldiers received his order and hurried out of the lounge agai
Damien narrowed his eyes. “Are you telling me how to rule my kingdom?”Ellington’s mouth dropped open, “No…Of course not…I wouldn’t dare…”“And it makes me wonder why you are targeting Lady Kurt.” Damien let out a snort, “You wouldn’t think that you will naturally become Luna once I punish Lady Kurt
“Aspen…ASPEN!”Aurora took the boy in her arms and cried, “Bring the car! To the hospital NOW!”Some people hurried to bring over a car.Gabriel shivered by Aurora’s side. “H—He was alright just a second ago…What happened? Is it…poison?”“Allergy.” Aurora gritted. “Aspen is allergic to peanuts!”The
There were only 3 days left before Aspen chose the final 3.So every lady was out there doing their best to win over the boy’s heart.Some of them brought Aspen handmade cookies; some tried to buy him off with expensive jewelries; one lady even hired an entire circus to the packhouse just to make th
Damien widened his eyes.He saw a woman’s face, which was covered by dreadful burns and scars.Her skin got licked by flames so hard that it was almost impossible to recognize her original features.This was not the scene that he expected to see when he removed that mask.The room lapsed into a deat
Damien’s breathing quickened.That woman…how dared she lie to him!And most importantly, why would she hide her real identity?Who was she, really?Damien ended the phone call and went back to the dining hall.He took a deep look at the woman sitting next to Aspen. She was still wearing that mask ev
The elder cleared his throat awkwardly.He wanted to rule out Janine Kurt as well.But the King clearly said that he wanted her to stay. He didn’t show as much interest to the other ladies, only to this one.As astonishing and ridiculous as it might seem, this Janine Kurt might actually be the winne
During the next couple of days, Damien was busy meeting up with the other Luna candidates.Aurora was glad that he was preoccupied with other things and couldn’t badger her with insane questions anymore.She went into the packhouse during the day to spend time with Aspen. And during the night, she h
The tension between them started to build up again.“No.”Aspen replied loudly, “I don’t want to go to your orchard.”Blanc and Gabriel let out a sigh of relief.Ellington looked super embarrassed.“Are you sure? It will be fun. I bet that you have never been to a private orchard opened up just for
