Chapter 1149 I Am Innocent
Over at Luna Palace, Cynthia was practicing calligraphy when she learned about the news from Demi. Her hand froze instantly. The excess ink in her pen seeped through the paper. After a short pause, she regained her composure and gave Demi a baffling look. “Are you sure?”
“Absolutely,” Demi replied. “Her arrest hasn’t been announced publicly, but I got this information from a reliable source. I wouldn’t have told you if it was an unverified rumor, Lady Cynthia.” “Got it.” Cynthia put aside her pen.
Beneath her deadpan expression, she was overwhelmed by emotions on the inside. If Natalie is found guilty of drug trafficking in Loang, she’ll face capital punishment. The fact that the cops have nabbed Natalie means they have evidence against her. At this point, nobody will care if the evidence is credible or fabricated anymore.
Cynthia was pleased with the outcome. It’s time for Natalie to pay back what her mother had done to me. A few seconds later, Cynthia started laughing hollowly.
Somehow, Demi could feel that Cynthia was laughing to vent her hatred and she could not wrap her head around it. “You can leave now.”
“Understood.” After trying to process her thoughts for a few seconds, Demi came to her senses and left the room. Cynthia picked up the stained paper and glanced at the words she had written on top.
Overwhelmed by mixed feelings, she crumpled the paper with intense hatred in her eyes. Jen, I’m surprised you survived the ordeal and sought refuge in Chanaea. You chose to stay in a faraway land instead of returning to your home country. But in the end, your daughter still returned to Loang—the country you escaped from years ago!
Cynthia continued squeezing the paper so hard that her fingernails sank into it. She gritted her teeth and muttered, “I won’t let her off the hook. Just you wait!”
Meanwhile, the cops did not lock Natalie up at the police station. Since her arrest was related to drugs, she was put away in a special interrogation unit.
After changing into the outfit provided by the cops, Natalie was locked within four walls with no light and windows.
