Facade

queenie was no tool. When she realized something was off, she immediately contacted her lawyer, 

Just because Gideon led Rapert for Hera and got Christopher to come over didn’t mean that queenie would let them get the upper hand on her 

There was no way Hera could turn the rables in her favor, seeing as Kane and Shaun were present. 

Herafinished her mision just as everyone involved in the case finally showed up. She put away her phone and tilted her head. 

“Let’s begin,” she stated. 

The combination of Hera’s poker Lace and her icy demeanor made her seem even more superior compared to the others. 

Kane shot Nathan look, who understood it immediately. The latter then reopened the case file, which he had reinvestigated earlier. 

“queenie Killian, we’ve reconfined the validity of the information gathered from the investigation on the report you’ve lodged this incrning. The victim, Zyler Gaskell, is able to speak normally without any problems, which doesn’t match the report you’ve made.” 

Queenie’s lawyer was a woman named Michelle Doyle. The latter had gotten to know all the necessary details this morning so she could defend queenie right away. 

“Although Zyler regained his ability to speak this morning, that doesn’t mean he didn’t get injured, We have written proof from Reinland Hospital as well as the medical staff’s witness statements that Zyler couldn’t speak at all last night.” 

“You should provide the evidence that shows Hera crippling Zyler to the point that he can’t speak, not evidence given by the hospital,” Rupert refuted. 

He had already been briefed on what bad happened when Michelle was making her way to the detention facility. 

Michelle was speechless, to say the least. 

As expected of the best lawyer in adonia, the moment Rupert spoke up, he targeted the most vital weak point in Michelle’s defending speech. 

Reinland Hospital was still unable to determine the exact cause behind Zyler’s muteness. This meant no one had any evidence that Hera was the culprit other than Zyler’s own 

statement 

Still, Michelle had no choice but to continue, “The reacher working at the mailroom in Crvenidge International Academy can prove that Zyler could still speak normally before leaving the mailroom during after–school hours. 

“But after he got into the conflict with Hera, he could no longer sprak once he returned to the mailcom.” 

“I can prove that,” Christopher spoke up at that time. 

Queenie felt a lot more relieved upon hearing Christopher’s words. 

she was worried that Hera was the one who had summoned Christopher to the detention facility. Now that Christopher was defending Zyler, Queenie felt at ease. 

“But Hera didn’t rob Zyler’s ability to speak. At that time, I had gone to the mailroom to collect my package. That was when I witnessed Zyler bullying Hera. After I shoved him away, he didn’t speak anymore.” 

Christopher continued, “Hera was worried that I might misunderstand 2yler, so she offered him a way out. So, Zyler took the initiative to carry Hera’s parcel for her. He injured his fingers purely by accident.” 

Both Queenie and Zyler were stunned. 

“I didn’t hit her! She was the one who struck my throat’s acupuncture point! That’s why I got anxious and tried to get her to do it Zyler explained hastily with widened eyes. 

“Acupuncture point? You must’ve read too many fiction novels. Herachuckled lightly. 

“You!” Zyler didn’t know what to say 

He remembered feeling Hera’s hand grazing across his neck. Right after that, he couldn’t let out a single sound 

Hera didn’t strike his acupuncture point, then what was it? 

#suspect that Zyler’s so–called muteness is just an act. Otherwise, why couldn’t the hospital find out what was wrong with his throat?” Hera continued, seemingly deep in thought. 

Shaun, Rupert, and the others turned to look at Zyler as though realization had just dawned on them. In a way, they were very cooperative with Hera 

“Hold on, that’s not the case! Don’t spout lies in my face!” Zyler tried to defend himself. 

Queenie’s gaze darkened. “Christopher, you’ve known Zyler for so long. Don’t you trust him? Why are you falsifying your testimony jest to help Hera out? Did she threaten you as 

“Iside with justice, not with people I’m affiliated with,” Christopher replied righteously. “Also, I’m ashamed to admit that I only got to witness your true colors after knowing you Gaskells for such a long time. Truth be told, I’ve already cut Zyler out of my circle a long time ago.” 

Zyler didn’t expect to see Christopher blatantly admitting the truth in public without sparing his pride. He was so pissed that his breathing started becoming header Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Queente inhaled sharply as well. Her mind was plunged into so much chaos that she couldn’t be bothered to question Zyler about what had happened between him and Christopher. 

Christopher’s testimony ended up turning the tables in Hera’s favor. Queenie and Zyler wouldn’t be able to wins if the debate went on. That was why Queende needed to think of a wy to reverse the situation. 

She burned to look at Shaun and Kane while pondering about how to make her request known.
