Chapter 84: Exposed

Jossie was shocked at Mireya’s statement and her eyes widened.

She trembled harder, but seeing Alpha Damien gave her more strength. At least, Mireya would not do anything to her in his presence.

“No. I am not being told what to say, you were the one who came to meet me, asking me to do something for you for a few silver coins. You only told me it was a sleeping pill, and I thought it was harmless until I saw its effects. You also added something to Joan’s wine, I saw you do it! You also sent men after me to silence me after you realized that your plan didn’t work! You are behind everything, none of it is my fault.”

Joselyn knew that if she did not speak the truth now, she might not be able to keep her head and she won’t be able to speak again.

Offending Mireya was better than offending Damien.

She never planned on leaving permanently even. She was waiting for Mireya to go back to her pack, then she would come back after everything had settled. Joselyn has nowhere else to do in the first place, she just wanted to hide for a few days.

The hall went dead silent.

Mireya's composure almost cracked, she just wanted to kill Joselyn right there and then.

She should have known the bitch wasn’t reliable in the first place and shouldn’t have given the task to her.

And those stupid men, they were so incompetent that they made her spleen hurt with so much anger.

“Are you aware of what false accusations against a noble entails?” Mireya asked coldly.

No matter what she wouldn’t admit to anything. If she doesn’t admit, no one would accept that she did it.

Nobody would be able to do anything to her with that.

Joselyn wanted to argue, but she didn’t know what to say, so her cries only intensified even further.

At this moment, Damien slowly stood up.

All eyes turned to him in an instant.

Mireya was no longer calm, her facade was on the verge of breaking. But she still maintained her demeanor.

“Alpha Damien wouldn’t believe that I have something to do with this case as well, right? Considering who my father is, do you think I would resort to such low-level tricks?” Mireya asked.

Since nothing else was working, she decided to use her father’s name. She believed that was enough to strike fear into the hearts of other people and also make Damien hesitate.

But she forgot that Damien never thought much of Elder Nolan or anybody else. So, her last card was futile.

Damien raised the black emblem in his hand and asked, “Does this look familiar to Miss Mireya?”

Mireya’s next words hung in her throat and her expression turned pallid.

It was her pack’s emblem for the warriors.

This was the black thing Killian had passed to Damien earlier, the one he had gotten from the masked men who tried to kill Joselyn.

Hazel watched all this happen without reacting, she already knew this was going to happen sooner or later. Mireya should have thought twice before scheming under Damien’s nose.

“I…I don’t know where you got that.” Mireya said, her expression somewhat unnatural.

Damien sneered. “Then, do you care to explain where four of your personal guards had gone? The same one your father claims he left for me?”

Mireya almost choked, but she still managed to reply weakly, “I sent them on an errand to get something for me.”

“To get something for you or to silence someone for you?” Damien asked coldly and Mireya fell silent.

“Guards!” Damien barked and several guards who had been standing in wait by the sides stepped forward.

“Search Miss Mireya’s chamber. Any suspicious thing you see must be brought back here.” Damien gave a simple order, but it made Mireya’s visage turn extremely ugly.

“You can’t do that!” She exclaimed anxiously, but Damien wasn’t even listening, and definitely the guards would not.

They left the hall without another word and quickly disappeared. Joselyn still knelt on the floor, begging for mercy in a low voice.

Mireya waa restless, but there was nothing she could do. She could only pray that the guards won’t find it where she had kept it, but she was meant to be disappointed.

A few minutes later, the warriors who left empty handed came back, and the one in lead was holding a few vials in his hand.

“Alpga, we found these vials in a secret drawer in Miss Mireya’s chamber.” A warrior reported and Mireya’s legs weakened.

They found it, they really did.

Albert came forward and examined the vials, “Some are for scents, some are medicinal and these two…” he paused, then raised two black vials up for the others to see.

“This is the same aphrodisiac used on Roman and the second one contains The Rot, the poison found in Joan’s blood. All these products are from the south. Miss Mireya, I thought you said you never got anything from the south, so may I ask what this is?” The last part of Albert’s statement was directed at Mireya, and she gritted her teeth.

“This is a lie. I…”

This time, Hazel cut her short, her voice containing a hint of mockery, “Does Miss Mireya want to say that these items were left in your chamber to frame you? Or that I’m the one who has been targeting you all along?”

Mireya fell silent, unable to utter her next words.

“From the evidence that has been gathered and from the testimony made by the witnesses, it is glaringly obvious that Miss Mireya is the person behind the event last night, hurting a noble in the pack by drugging him, then scheming against my person and almost leading to her assault.” Damien said coldly.

This time, Mireya couldn’t even find the right thing to say to defend herself because there was nothing to defend. All evidence that she thought she had buried had appeared, ruining everything.
