Forensic Imperial Concubine by Erika Black

Chapter 585

Nodding his head, Walden said, "It's my fault. I must have been out of my mind to make such a terrible mistake. Please forgive
me, Father."
Matthew looked at Walden and then at his "wife", who was sitting calmly by his side. "Walden, how ridiculous to speak in that
way! Can a person momentarily lose his mind and slaughter a whole family?"
His "wife" turned her eyes to Matthew. "Since you are so ruthless, you must pay the price."
With the expression on his face unchanged, Matthew toyed with the glass in his hand. Then his eyes fell upon the woman's neck.
"Why didn't you wear the necklace I gave you?" he asked.
The woman's heart skipped a beat at his question, but she managed to keep her composure. "Sorry, I was in such a hurry to go

that my crime would be discovered, so I sent the pills to Felix's mansion." Felix turned his eyes to Walden, but the latter

whole crime on himself, not on Felix. As long as Felix was still alive, Walden would have a hope of rising again.
"Father, the pills were indeed sent to me by someone. I even paid a lot of money to the one who delivered them, but I didn't know
that man was Brother Walden's man," Felix said, disassociating himself from the charge.
With sweat in her palms, the empress dared not say anything to echo Felix and Walden. She knew clearly that she would only
make things worse by opening her mouth. She could do nothing but await the outcome. However, she was quite pleased that

know what had happened. I thought it was a miracle that someone sent the Longevity Pills to me because my filial piety regarding your birthday gift moved God. I didn't expect someone to frame me deliberately." The more he spoke, the more lies he made up. He was sure he would be okay as long as he could survive his father's suspicions this time. "Do you have anything else to say, Walden?" the emperor asked. He had never liked Walden, and now that Walden had
