Dark Revenge Of An Unwanted Wife: The Twins Are Not Yours!

Chapter 149: The Court Case XII

The murmurs in the council hall swirled like a restless wind, a cacophony of intrigue and unease. Tension hung thick in the air, nearly palpable, as whispers of doubt danced around the room.

"Do you think Kendra’s father is that evil man, Morgan?" A voice trembled from the back. "Do you think he will be allowed to step in here?"
