“Go look for these two people with Suzanne and bring them back to Southeast Aciatic… Then make them memorize
this testimonial.
“When the time comes, Rowan Irwin will be charged with conspiring with Aurelia’s parents to murder a member of
the royal family, and they’ll all be sentenced to prison!”
“Your Majesty, can we really use these two people?”
“Hmph! The man’s an addict, give him some Fentanyl… As for the woman, give her some money first. As long as
she sees the money, she’ll do whatever we say!”
…
There was a commotion in the courtroom.
Carmella’s eyes went wide open, and her face was completely drained of color as if she had seen a ghost.
“Fentanyl?” Some foreign journalists began to inquire in a low voice, “What’s that?”
“That’s a kind of drug!” Every word Rowan uttered was forceful. “Fentanyl is a synthetic drug that’s similar to the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtopium poppy but much, much more potent. This drug is highly toxic and can be addictive. An overdose can happen
easily within a short time!”
“Your Majesty.” Rowan looked at her with a smile that barely looked like one. “Fentanyl is strictly prohibited from
being bought or sold in Southeast Aciatic. Once discovered, heavy punishment will be inflicted! You surely must
know this, right?”
The judge frowned and glanced at the jurors on either side.
An issue had not yet been settled when another issue arose. Before they could even figure out what was going on
with the two witnesses, there was now a case of the queen’s private possession of Fentanyl!
If this were confirmed, the charges would be even more serious.
“Joy…” Carmella breathed heavily, her forehead covered in sweat. Each word she uttered was with great difficulty.
“Y-You actually betrayed me…”
“Your Majesty, this isn’t considered a betrayal.” Joy looked at her calmly. “As you know, my memory is not very
good. Whenever you give me a task, I’m afraid of missing any details, so I always record the audio and check it
carefully bit by bit when I go back.
“Do you still want to hear what Her Majesty’s asked me to do?” Joy faced the crowd and raised her phone.
Carmella screamed and rushed forward like a mad woman to slap Joy hard in the face! Joy’s face swelled up high
on one side, and the corners of her mouth filled with the taste of blood.
She laughed.
She spoke every word exceptionally clearly. “Your Majesty, I never knew that it felt so good to spill everything! I no
longer have to carry the mental burden of a guilty conscience.”
“You b*tch!” Carmella’s eyes were red, and she cursed loudly, “I sent you to Melorian to find them, but you lied to
me… How dare you b*tch lie to me!?”
“Your Majesty, I did look for them together with Suzanne.” Joy smiled. “But it’s just unfortunate that someone found
them before we did!”
Carmella was stunned for a long time before she slowly turned her head to look at Cordelia beside her.
“It was you?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“To be precise, it was my husband.” Cordelia’s lips curled slightly. “It was Zephyr who had someone stop Joy,
Suzanne, and those two people. Then we separated them and gave them a few instructions.”
When Cordelia and Zephyr saw these people on the streets of the slums in Melorian, Zephyr had his bodyguards
take them back to the villa.
He released Aurelia’s adoptive parents and had someone bring in another couple while he quickly investigated the
background of Joy and Suzanne.
That was how Cordelia had more leverage to negotiate with Joy and Suzanne. Joy’s son could attend the best public
elementary school in Southeast Aciatic, while Suzanne’s younger brother could receive the best care and
assistance from Irwin Pharmaceuticals. All of these conditions were based on what they said and did in court today.
Cordelia’s smile faded as she approached Carmella, her steps measured and cautious. She had once regarded this
queen with the utmost admiration.
She still remembered the first time she saw her in the palace. Carmella was dignified and elegant, with a graceful
demeanor, which made Cordelia admire her. Cordelia just never expected that beneath the glamorous appearance
was a despicable heart.
