I became the Purchased Wife Of The Lycan Prince by Light

Chapter 123

The knife slipped from Roaxana’s hand, clattering to the ground as she faltered. Logan’s gaze met hers, a mix of confusion and concern evident in his eyes as he questioned her actions.

“It wasn’t me. Hope’s uncle ordered me to kill her,” Roaxana repeated the same words Olivia had confided in her the previous night.

“What are you saying, Roaxana?” Logan’s disbelief was palpable. Doubt crept into his mind as he wondered if he had made a mistake in trusting his cousins. Suspicion lingered in his gaze as he looked towards them.

“Roaxana, why would you even consider carrying out such an order from Hope’s uncle? What were you thinking?” Victoria, the eldest daughter-in-law, questioned with a hint of reproach in her tone, casting a subtle glance at Anna, attempting to subtly belittle her for her daughter’s actions.

“I… I don’t know,” Roaxana stammered, her gaze shifting to Hope. “Please, Hope, believe me. It wasn’t me. I never intended to harm you. I have no explanation for why I picked up the knife. And I’m not sure why I’m even saying this,” she admitted, her nerves betraying her as she blinked rapidly.

“Why is everyone gathered here?” Olivia’s sudden entrance into the kitchen interrupted the tense atmosphere. With a bewildered expression, she scanned the faces of those assembled.

“Roaxana tried to harm Hope,” Victoria divulged, her tone laced with accusation.

“Quiet, Victoria,” William interjected firmly, silencing her.

Tears welled in Roaxana’s eyes as she pleaded with Hope to trust her.

“Why would you do that, Roxy? Hope, are you alright?” Olivia’s concern was evident in her questioning tone as she turned to address them both.

“Let’s talk about this later. Logan is injured. He needs to get treated,” Hope deflected Olivia’s question, focusing instead on Logan’s well-being as she guided him out of the kitchen. The others followed suit, but Anna broke away from the group, offering support to Roaxana alongside Fred.

“What happened to you? Why would you do that on Hope’s uncle’s request?” Fred’s confusion was evident as he confronted his sister. He couldn’t reconcile her actions with the Roaxana he knew.
