When His Perfect Mask Shattered I Awoke (Anneliese and Zacharias) novel Chapter 584

Zacharias froze, his breathing catching, eyes wide in shock.

After a moment that felt like an eternity, his shock gave way to a furious outburst.

"Impossible! Jonathan, you're talking nonsense! You're framing me!"

Zacharias couldn't accept it.

"My grandmother hated you and refused to accept you as her grandson-in-law, so now you want to transfer her hatred onto my mother and family? Don't even think about it!"

How could my mother be involved?

She had always been close to Anneliese's mother—surely she would never have done such a thing. Jonathan must be lying, completely shameless.

"Are you angry because you're embarrassed or because you can't accept the truth?" Jonathan sneered.

Zacharias swung at him.

"Ridiculous!"

Jonathan sidestepped, catching Zacharias' fist in his large hand. His sleeve strained over defined muscles.

"I only say this because Roretha can serve as a witness."

Jonathan caught Zacharias' punch and pushed it back firmly.

Zacharias staggered, pale, startled by Jonathan's certainty and the terrifying possibility he had just revealed.

Suppressing his shock and anger, he spoke coldly.

"Hah! If you bought one or two witnesses, they'd say whatever you wanted. If this were true, why didn't Roretha speak up back then? Ridiculous! If you had proof, you could have called the police directly!"

Exactly. If Jonathan had proof, he would have called the police long ago to clear his name with my grandmother. Why accuse my family now? What's his motive?

Is he trying to alert the enemy?

No—there's definitely no such thing.

"I will report it to the police. So, you'd better take good care of your mother lately. After all, the attempted murder of my mother-in-law resulted in two deaths. I'm just kindly reminding you—the good days like this won't last long."

Zacharias ground his teeth, glaring at Jonathan.
