Accidentally Pregnant By My Alpha Best friends (Madeline) novel Chapter 728

Silver:

"I let all of you decide for yourselves," he began, and I could already tell this wasn't going to end well for me.

He looked even more smug than before.

"I knew this was going to happen," he said, shaking his head.

"But she said her daughters were doing fine!" a woman shouted from the crowd, her fists clenched as she glared at me.

"She lied. I've always known she was a liar, but I couldn't simply tell you that because you were all bowing to her as though she were some moon goddess. Even though you knew she was capable of lying."

The ball was back in Elgin's court, and of course he was going to use it to his advantage.

At that point, I wasn't even sure what I should do.

If I had known the tears wouldn't work, I never would have come here.

I would have escaped, just as my father had suggested and as I had considered doing before.

"I knew this would happen. I knew she would disappoint all of you. But I believed it was better to let you test her yourselves because I didn't want to force my judgment on anyone."

Now Elgin had the perfect opportunity to present himself as the merciful future king who respected the people's choices.

"You were right, Your Highness. We're so sorry for doubting your judgment," the same woman who had bowed to me earlier said as she bowed to Elgin.

My father wrapped an arm around me while tears slowly filled my eyes.

I had no cards left to play.

I was about to be humiliated even more than before.

After everything fell apart, I wanted to crawl into a grave and disappear.

Only moments ago, I had stood there full of confidence, hiding behind my fake persona.

Now it was gone.

I was back to being myself, shaking uncontrollably.

Kaylee covered her mouth with her hand, laughing whenever our eyes met.

"Now that we know she lied, I'll also tell you why her daughters may have been fine," Elgin said, carefully avoiding calling them his daughters.

That was how quickly he had discarded them.

"She probably still had some of the medicine Madeline created."

He had made that up, but honestly, he wasn't wrong.

That was exactly what had happened.

What I still couldn't understand was why the tears had stopped working.

Had they somehow expired?

Maybe her tears only worked if they had been shed recently.

None of it made any sense.
