Chapter 115

• After a few minutes, Alicia’s sobs were already dying down when a woman’s voice rang loud and clear in the quiet room, “can you please explain what just happened, Shadow Lord?” Alicia flinched in Shawn’s arms and he noticed and glanced at her. Just as he expected, Alicia had reacted to Janet’s voice, proving what he already knows.
• Shawn turned his head to look at the woman who spoke. She was standing in front of her seat, right behind the acting chairman. Her long black hair was in a high ponytail as always, and black rimmed glasses settled on her nose, hiding her hazel eyes. She looked professional and beautiful, as always, and at that moment, as Shawn stared at her, all he could think about was her treason and the way she had left Alicia to die. His anger was building, but he knew he must control himself so as not to tip off his enemy.
• “I demand an explanation, Shadow Lord. Not only did your fiancée dare to bare her claws in front of the king, she attempted to kill a suspect for the murder of late Chairman Sebastain Hugh, who was brought before the king. No matter the reason, she had committed an offense and should be punished duly,” Janet said, her voice clear and firm.
