Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince by Dark Knight
Chapter 813 One Last Step
Alina’s POV:
As I watched Rufus and Sylvia, who had suddenly appeared in front of me, I subconsciously touched the ring I’d just worn. I was inexplicably flustered all of a sudden.
Every time I saw Sylvia, something bad happened. Besides, she and Rufus were eyeing me very aggressively. They didn’t seem to be here to celebrate the ceremony.
I f0rced a smile and tried to look calm. “Prince Rufus, what suddenly brings you here? And your mate…”
Speaking of Sylvia, I paused and then chose the word mate because I really didn’t want to mention the name that made me instinctively sick.
Rufus was still so handsome. It would be better if he didn’t speak. Every time he opened his mouth, I wished he could have just been a d*um*b handsome man.
But I was not in the mood to admire his good-looking face now, because my gut was warning me that I was doomed.
Rufus snorted and blurted out, “You look cheerful. You stepped on Leonard’s corpse and got the Alpha’s position, and it seems that you actually quite enjoy it.”
“What do you mean?” I was unnerved as I stared at his handsome face. Damn it! What did he mean by that? Had I somehow exposed myself?
I glanced at Sylvia again. As expected, she was glaring at me as if I had K*lled her father. My heart leaped to my throat, and my back was instantly drenched with cold sweat.
“Prince Rufus, what do you mean?” Edwin, who looked as frail as a man on his deathbed, suddenly became energetic with sharp eyes. “What do you mean by saying that Alina stepped on her father’s corpse to ascend to the Alpha position? Haven’t we already found Leonard’s murderer?”
“No, Alina is the one who K*lled Leonard.”
Rufus’ words successfully shocked everyone. Edwin, Owen, and the others stared at me in disbelief.
I took one step back and shook my head frantically. “No! It wasn’t me! How could I K*ll my father?”
“That’s right, Prince Rufus. How could Alina K*ll her own father? He was her biological father, and he loved her so much.”
Owen became a little emotional and began to cough violently. Warren rushed to his side to comfort him.
Although Edwin was also shocked, he didn’t instantly believe the accusation. He fixed his serious gaze on Rufus and said, “We can’t simply believe your mere words, Prince Rufus. Do you have any evidence?”
“Perhaps there has been some mistake, Prince Rufus? I’ve watched Alina grow up. She is not that kind of cruel person.” Owen scrutinized me with a complex expression and seriously asked, “Am I right, Alina? I don’t believe you’re the kind of person who would K*ll her father.”
My lips quivered. “Yes, yes, he was my father!”
“Anyway, we still need evidence,” Edwin interjected.
I had been racking my brains, trying to recall the whole series of events. I remembered with certainty that Noreen was the only one who knew the truth. There was no way she would reveal this to Sylvia and the others. Besides, I had tampered the surveillance cameras in the corridor, so no one else would know what happened.
How could Rufus have got his hands on any evidence? Maybe he and Sylvia were just bluffing and wanted me to implicate myself.
I inhaled deeply and considered how to give an explanation. Just as I was about to speak, Rufus extracted a crystal ball slightly bigger than a fist from the canvas bag Sylvia carried.
“This crystal ball will show what happened that day. Let’s see if my claims are true or not.”
After saying this, he placed the crystal ball on his palm and was about to activate it.
I had seen this crystal ball before. Noreen had used it to show me how well my father and Sylvia got along in private! So, they weren’t pretending!
Panic overwhelmed me. While no one was paying attention, I charged forward, wanting to smash the crystal ball.
