Chapter 437 Hiemal Court Members

Henry froze as Raven’s words, devoid of any hint of jest, struck him like a cold blade.

In that instant, no matter how unwilling he was, he dared not utter another useless word.

After all, he wasn’t ready to die just yet.

Antonio shot Raven a darkened, brooding glare before turning to his subordinates beside him and commanding, “Take Ms. Rickard’s body to the station for an autopsy.”

The police officers nearby immediately moved toward the crystal coffin upon hearing the order.

From her vantage point on the second floor, Estella’s frown deepened with every passing second.

She had intended to use John and the Lunshire members as tools to pressure Raven into submission, forcing her to work for her. But to her dismay, Raven had effortlessly dismantled the entire situation.

She was just a girl in her teens, yet she held an S–Rank invitation to the World Medical Conference, which was truly remarkable.

It was precisely because of this brilliance that Estella became even more resolute in her determination to bring Raven into the Ortega family as her subordinate.

Estella knew all too well that if Raven walked away unscathed today, it would be exponentially harder to corner her in the future.

After a brief moment of hesitation, she pulled out her phone and sent a message.

Downstairs, just as Antonio and his team were about to take Helena’s body away, Ethan’s phone suddenly rang from the pocket of his coat.

Ethan’s expression gradually turned serious as he listened to the voice on the other end of the line.

After hanging up, he turned to Raven with an apologetic look and said, “Miss Valor, something urgent has come up with the World Medical Conference. I’ll have to ask for your guidance another time.”

Raven nodded slightly, and Ethan strode toward the door.

Almost the moment Ethan’s figure disappeared from the hall, Antonio’s voice turned cold and sharp as he barked out orders to the police officers beside him, “Take her away!”

Earlier, with Ethan present, Antonio had reluctantly honored his promise not to act against Raven after she released Henry, out of respect for Ethan’s position as the World Medical Conference president.

But now that Ethan had left in a hurry, Antonio saw no reason to keep his word.

“So, you’re breaking your promise now?” Raven’s voice was icy as she watched the police officers closing in on her like predators circling their prey.
