Kidnapped and Rejected – The Return of Alpha’s Luna by Moon Claw

Chapter 209

That malicious look simply flickered across Agnes’s face.

It had vanished when Westin turned around.

The softest smile appeared on his lips, “Agnes, you came.”

They kissed each other’s cheeks.

Agnes’s little gang curtseyed to Westin and said in unison, “My King.”

“I should thank you for taking your time and preparing Janet for this event,” Westin said with a smile. “So how was she? Was she a good student?”

Janet looked at Agnes.

She was quite curious how Agnes would answer this question. Would she tell on her? Or would she smear her on purpose?

Agnes bit her lips, tears gleaming in her doc–like eyes, “My King…it is all my fault. I was not a good trainer. I failed to teach Janet how to behave properly. And all the guests saw her carrying a barrel walking in, which is just…obscene. I should be punished for my incompetence…”

She pulled out a handkerchief and dabbed her eyes.

“Obscene?” Janet let out an icy laugh, “That is a very strong word. I didn’t know that helping out a maid is such a huge crime.”

Kalinda raised her voice, eager to defend her leader, “Those servants and maids exist for a reason. We paid them good money, fed them, clothed them so that they could do these heavy labors for us! If you sympathize with the servants all the time, maybe you are not cut out to be a noble.”

Janet rolled her eyes.

Agnes whispered to Kalinda with a frown, “Don’t say that…I am sure Lady Janet meant well. She just didn’t know how to behave properly in front of a distinguished. group of people… Again. Entirely my fault.”

She bent her knees abruptly and said to Westin sobbing, “My King, please punish me. You trusted me with such an important task and yet I failed it completely. I blame myself so much…”

Her gang panicked seeing her bend her knees

They all bowed to Westin and begged, “Please forgive Lady Agnes, my king. We are partially at fault too. We were all there when Lady Agnes trained her yet none of us knew that she would behave this poorly…”

Janet found this whole scene so ridiculous that she almost laughed.

She had got to say though: Agnes was smarter than all the bad women she had met combined.

By blaming herself first, Agnes successfully painted herselt as a perfect victim. And the harder she blamed herselt, the more serious Janet’s mistake would seem.

Westin was never going to punish her…Agnes knew that.

She just needed him to assign blame to Janet in the end.

Westin let out a sigh, “Get up, Agnes. I didn’t say it is your fault.”

He held her elbow and tried to help her up.

Yet Agnes remained in that posture, “No, my king, I won’t stand up until you punish me for my mistake!”

Her voice was louder than usual.

Many people’s attention had been drawn to her.

The surrounding crowd was watching them quietly, waiting for Westin’s response. Westin straightened her back and gave Janet a meaningful look.

Janet’s heart skipped a beat.
