Carmella’s lips trembled slightly. She could not say anything to meet Martin’s gaze, feeling guilty.
“It’s… nothing.” Carmella forced a chortle. “Your Majesty, the trial’s been going on for too long. You must be tired.
Let me help you get back to rest first…”
“I want to hear the truth!” Martin roared, “Who were you looking for?”
Carmella froze and turned her gaze to Joy.
“What’s going on here?” She gritted each word. “Joy, what are you trying to do?”
Joy replied indifferently, “Your Majesty, I could only find these two people based on the clues you gave me.”
“You…”
A strange smile crossed Joy’s lips. “Your Majesty, you told me that one of them is a drug addict and the other’s
involved in prostitution. The ones I found fit the description you gave me perfectly!”

“You first lied to me and said you gave the child to a lawyer’s family, that the child would have a good life! Later,

again and again!
“How did the child end up in the hands of such people!?” Martin’s voice was low and angry.
“Carmella, say something!” Martin pushed her violently, and she almost fell out of the audience seat.
Carmella’s mind went blank, and Martin’s angry gaze felt like a sharp knife stabbing deep into her heart.
“Martin, listen—”
“Your Majesty, I don’t understand why you insist on finding these two people?” Cordelia stood up, her eyes cold and
indifferent, with a hint of a sneer playing on her lips. “Do these two people have significant meaning to you?

Aurelia looked bewildered, not understanding what they were talking about.
Why did they suddenly bring in two strangers and claim them to be her parents? Where were her irresponsible
parents?
Carmella was actually secretly searching for her parents… What was she up to?
