Chapter 230

She raised her eyes abruptly.

“How do you know I am pregnant?” she asked.

“I found your pregnancy test,” he said.

…Shit.

She thought she got rid of that stick without anybody noticing.

But it seemed that it didn’t escape Clemente’s eyes.

And judging by his tone…He believed that her child was Westin’s.

“I honestly don’t understand why you were running away with the King’s child in your belly,” Clemente said in a frustrated voice. “He loves you. I haven’t seen him this care about a woman in my entire life…But anyway, mistakes have been made. You should tell him that you are pregnant and ask him to free you. Is it fun being locked up in here?”

No.

Telling Westin the truth would only worsen the problem.

Because both she and Westin knew who the father of her child was.

She and Westin never slept together once. There was no way they could have a child.

Janet stared at Clemente.

“So you knew about my pregnancy and yet haven’t told your king about it. Why?”

she asked.

Clemente frowned, “Forget about me. We are talking about you. You should really-”

“Because you told someone else and that person asked you to keep this secret,” Janet said firmly, watching his every reaction closely.

He froze, a guilty look on his face.

“That person is Agnes, isn’t it?” she concluded.

Clemente’s face contorted. Yet he didn’t deny it.

An honest person like him couldn’t deny the truth.

Janet let out a cold sneer.

It was not hard for her to connect the dots.

Elder Lamonte and Agnes were her biggest enemies in the Lycan’s kingdom.

Clemente had a bad relationship with his father and would never listen to him.

So there was only one possibility left.

Not to mention that Agnes was his late brother’s wife, which explains why he was loyal to her.

It was so simple.

Why didn’t she think of this sooner?

“The person who assassinated me that night was you, wasn’t it!” she snapped, “How ironic. Westin trusted you so much that he assigned you to protect me! But you were working for another woman, trying to kill me behind his back. I wonder how Westin will feel about this-”

“I am not working for Agnes!” Clemente was shaking with rage and grief. “It–It is very complicated…I am sort of responsible for Keavy’s death…I–I owe Agnes so much…I just can’t refuse her request…”

Janet was not listening to him anymore.
