Chapter 53

Somebody must have put it there to frame her.She tried to say something to defend herself but Chloe didn’t give her a chance.“And not just Jenny, there are others who can testify!" Chloe smiled.She gestured for a few servants to step forward.

They exchanged glances but ultimately nodded:"We saw it too, Luna with Steven..."“Yeah I heard them giggling in Steven’s room yesterday…They sounded intimate…”“They have been doing this for a while…”Aurora staggered back.…All these people had been threatened or bribed by Chloe!"I want to see Steven!" Aurora cried, tears of anger shining in her eyes,

“Bring Steven out and we will straighten the whole thing out in front of everyone.”Steven was like a big brother to her, always looking out for her. Aurora was sure that Steven would tell everyone the truth and clear her name!“Already then.”Chloe snickered.

Weirdly, she didn’t look afraid or panicked at all“Luna Aurora wants to see Steven. Then bring Steven to her!” she ordered the soldiers.Aurora eyed her suspiciously.Why didn’t she look afraid?Did she bribe Steven as well?No, it couldn’t be.Steven would never betray her.

Moments later, the soldiers came into the courtroom. But they didn’t have Steven with them but were instead carrying a stretcher covered with white cloth.Aurora's heart plummeted."What... what is this?" her voice trembled, disbelief in her eyes.Chloe stood up, wearing a smug smile.

"Oh, Luna Aurora, it seems you don't know yet.

Steven committed suicide out of guilt this morning!"The courtroom erupted in chaos, everyone's eyes fixed on the stretcher.

Aurora felt dizzy, grief almost knocking her down.Steven was…DIED?!But he couldn't have committed suicide out of guilt because he was innocent!So there was left with only one explanation—Chloe killed Steven to frame her!To make sure that she lost her only witness!

Yesterday, when she met Steven, he was fine, even comforting her, saying that Alpha Damien would eventually understand her love and come around.But today, Steven's body lay here…cold and lifeless…He was dead.

because of her!“YOU KILLED HIM!!!”Aurora jerked around and roared at Chloe, her eyes bloodshot because of grief and rage, “He didn’t do anything! He was kind and loyal! You killed an innocent person Chloe!”Chloe didn’t show any sigh of nervous.

She giggled, “I killed him? That is crazy talk. He killed himself. Because he was afraid of the punishment he might face when everyone finds out about your affair.

He is dead because of you.”“No…” Auroar sobbed, shaking her head.

"Please stop...don't do this..."

“I know you are horny because Damien hasn’t slept with you for a while. But cheating with a guard? That’s low. Even for you.”"SOPT IT!" Aurora's voice trembled, tears filling her eyes. "Elders, ministers, you can see that she is a murderer, right? Help me! Help me put her into prison!"Her voice echoed in the courtroom.

Yet nobody made a move.Almost every minister, servant and soldier was looking at Chloe instead, waiting for Chloe’s command.Aurora's body turned cold.For all these years, she had trying to be the perfect Luna, managing every little details in this packhouse.

She even used her own saving to p*y the servant and the maid's salaries. She once passed out in the middle of a grand ceremony becuase she was too tired.Yet, nobody appreciated her effort.All the staffs and ministers knew that Chloe was Damien's love one.

So they all chose Chloe's side, and turned their backs on her. Even though she was one who kept this packhouse up and running.Chloe burst out laughing abruptly:"Luna Aurora, are you still denying the facts? Steven's body is here.

And I have a large crowd of witnesses. What do you have?"…Nothing.She had nothing to prove her innocence.

Tears streamed down Aurora's cheeks as she let out a desperate cry, "All those evidence are made up! Chloe, you will be paying for Steven's death! Elders, ministers, guards, I am begging you.

Stop this woman—"BANG!The doors to the courtroom burst open, creating a huge noise.A tall, handsome figure appeared in the doorway—Alpha Damien.
