Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 527

Everyone was waiting for the presbyter' announcement, but when they heard such words, they were stunned.
They looked at King Ducasse in puzzlement, their eyes full of doubts. They didn't understand why King Ducasse interrupted the presbyter at this time.
King Ducasse seemed to overlook the shock of the crowd, and only fixed his eyes on Martha who was standing opposite.
"Martha, look at me."
Martha frowned slightly, not understanding what King Ducasse was going to do.
She looked at King Ducasse with some doubts and more indifference.
After taking a few deep breaths, he raised his eyes and looked at Martha sincecrely.
"Martha, will you marry me?"
When Martha heard this, her pupils constricted. She didn't expect him to ask such a question.
She... never wanted to marry King Ducasse, and if it wasn't for Stefan, she probably wouldn't have changed into this dress.
She knew that if she didn't speak out her true thoughts now, she would never have another chance.
With clenched fists, she bit her lip. After hesitation, she answered firmly and indifferently, "No, I won't!"
Her words caused an uproar among the people present.
Soon, the family members of the ministers started whispering-
"What's wrong with the eldest daughter of the Lucas family?"
"That's the king of our Z Country, how dare she refuse!"
"What a rude and ignorant girl! It's a wedding. How can she choose this big date to mess around!"
"..."
It didn't take long for the discussion in the hall to become louder and louder.
Upon hearing the comments of several ministers, Catherine's face was gloomy.
She never expected that Martha would change her mind.
But at this time, King Ducasse standing in front of Martha was not surprised.
He already knew Martha's answer, and all of this was within his expectations.
However, he still wanted to ask Martha whether he could be considered as good as Stefan if he was very nice to her.
Soon, he spoke it out, "If I am very, very nice to you, will you still say no?"
Martha ignored the deep affection in his eyes, looked sideways at Catherine who was sitting on the host's seat, and refused in a cold voice, "Yea."
King Ducasse frowned, looked at Martha with a pitiful expression, and asked in a horse voice, "Why?"
Martha's eyes darkened, and she took a deep breath, and finally decided not to suppress her emotions, nor to be afraid of Catherine's threats anymore.
She raised her eyes, stared indifferently at King Ducasse in front of her, and said word by word-
"Because your mother killed my mother!"
As soon as she said this, everyone present widened their eyes in shock.
King Ducasse looked at Martha in astonishment and disbelief.
He parted his lips lightly, wanted to refute but couldn't find his voice.
When Sam, who was present, heard this, his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked at Catherine with a somewhat cold look in his eyes.
Was it Catherine who killed Elsie?
But... the Hopper family was the one who benefited back then, so how could she, Catherine, do anything to Elsie?
Eve also looked at Catherine with shock.
The murderer who killed her sister was Catherine?
She didn't expect that the murderer she had been looking for all this time turned out to be Catherine.
After King Ducasse came back to his senses, he looked sideways at his mother Catherine, his eyes full of disbelief and questioning.
At this time, Catherine's face darkened, with a smouldering gleam of malice in her eyes.
