Chapter 299 - Who Sent You? (2/2)

The other thug's eyes bulged when he sahat happened He was i and wet his pants His body was bloodied and his face was filled with indescribable fear

"What about you? Are you going to talk or not?" Emmelyn turned to the scared man and looked at him dead in the eye "I don't like to repeat hness I I will talk," the man cried "Please spare ulped and tried to compose himself so he could talk and save his life At this moment, somehow his mind went blank and he didn't knohat to say

What was her question again?

He couldn't remember, but he didn't dare to ask her He sahat she did just now

This woman was like the devil She was heartless like one

"I-I well ere ordered to to take you by our l-lady"

"What's her name?" Emmelyn looked at the man with narrowed eyes She pointed the sword at his chest, ready to push if she found his answer to be unsatisfactory

"It it's the young lady from the Preston family"

"Ellena" Emmelyn muttered under her breath

She knew it! Ellena was the mastermind behind this But she didn't understand why Ellena wanted her to be kept for a few days

Did Ellena plan so?

"Did my brother really have a son?" She finally decided to ask the super important question

Killian's son was the reason why they could trick her and captured her She must know if her brother really had a son or not If he did, she must knohat happened to him

And if there was no child, E about the non-existing child and focus on herself and Harlow

"There is there is no son, Your Highness" the second thug lowered his head He looked scared for Emmelyn's reaction and was ready to receive her wrath

However, the awaited wrath didn't cohed in relief, and her expression softened

Now, thisas he cooperated, this vicious woman wouldn't kill hi favor to Emmelyn

Wasn't she the crown prince's wife? If she could report this to the king, surely the Prestons would be arrested and the family would have their downfall There was no use for hi for them since they would soon perish

It would be better if he took this scary wohness please don't kill me," he pleaded to Emmelyn with both his hands raised to his chest "You will needthem down"

E did sound ht If she wanted to accuse Ellena of her crime, she would need a witness

But hoould this man be of any use for her? As soon as they e his story in Ellena's favor and there was nothing Euarantee Emmelyn had on him?

But what other choice did she have? She was a foreigner here and everyone knew she didn't like Ellena If she came to accuse the Prestons without evidence and witness, people would think she was slandering Ellena because of personal hatred

Emmelyn tried so hard not to show any weakness She pressed the tip of her sword on the rowled "I will not hesitate to kill you with the slowest and most painful death if you betrayiround and touched Elanced at the horrific sight to his right: his friend's head lying down in a pool of blood with his eyes wide open, looking at hiht made him shudder He didn't want to end up dead like his friend No, thank you He would still like to keep his head

E's touch She felt disgusted by the man

"Get in there," she said and pointed at the carriage The man looked confused for a while before his clear mind returned and he did what she ordered hie with difficulty His blood iust when she saw it She suddenly questioned if bringing this ht have to take care of him on the way to keep hie floor, Emmelyn locked the door and s from outside She didn't want to risk this man's escape She needed hi was locked, Ee She broke down and cried

She had been holding back her ery at the same time She didn't want him to see her like this She also didn't want him to hear her, so she cried silently

She was relieved that she escaped a kidnapping attempt and now she knew for sure that Killian didn't have a child That took a lot of weight off her chest
