Chapter 305 Telling the truth BECKY Much to my dismay, Adalyn didn’t seem to be affected by Oliver’s posture.

Her golden eyes remained locked on mine, shooting daggers so intense I should have been frightened.

But she didn’t scare me.

She was a child pretending to be someone powerful. A coward, hiding behind her family name.

“This girl is trying to kill Silas!” Adalyn cried as her hands balled into fists at her sides. “I caught her before, Father. She escaped with the help of her accomplice and now she intends to play some sort of trick on you, I just know it.”

Oliver frowned and then fixed his gaze on his daughter.

“If you caught her before, Adalyn, why didn’t you report it to me?” he asked her coldly, his lip curling into almost a snarl. It was a chilling look and I didn’t envy Adalyn in the slightest.

She took a moment to make up an explanation and then spoke. “Because I knew the girl was cunning, so I wanted to deal with her carefully, Father.” Her excuse didn’t seem to convince Oliver in the slightest. He rolled his hazel eyes in her direction and then shook his head in disappointment.

“You think too highly of yourself,” he said with a small snort, and then he turned to face me. His eyes grew sharp and his mouth tensed. “If you, in fact, dared to kill my Silas, I'll slit your

Still, managed to remain calm.

“I'would never do that,” I remarked, my tone as casual as I could make it, and then I drew my brows together slightly and pouted, as if I were too innocent for that. “What good would it be for me to kill him? Besides, he’s my fated mate after all. As much as we want to deny the fact, the mate bond would let us suffer if one wanted to kill the other.” Oliver lifted a brow and then the rest of his expression softened. He seemed to
