Chapter 611: Took The Letter

Even Ace looked uncomfortable under her gaze. "Did he do something wrong to her?" he couldn’t help but ponder inwardly.

At the sound of Alaric’s voice, Ace’s composure broke. He rushed forward and pulled his brother into a desperate embrace, his voice shaking. "I’m so sorry."

But Ace shook his head violently. "You don’t understand," he choked out. "It’s all my fault."

Something about the trembling in his voice made Alaric still. Slowly, he pried his brother’s hands off and looked him in the eye. "What are you talking about?"

Ace looked up, his eyes already glistening. "I did it," he whispered.

Violet’s expression hardened with suspicion. "What did you do, Ace?" she demanded.
