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

Chapter 239

Janet hesitated for a while and decided to share her doubts with Clemente.

“Clemente, I still feel that there are missing parts in this thing…” she said.

“About what? The owner admitted to his crime already,” Clemente looked confused.

“The owner is responsible for Keavy’s death. But what about Elder Randy? The owner had nothing to do with Elder Randy and he wasn’t even at the Spring Ball…”

Clemente let out a cold sneer, “That is where things get really interesting. Hear this: the owner’s restaurant is one of the caters of the spring ball.”

…WHAT?

Janet gasped.

So the owner WAS at the spring ball! He even prepared the food himself, which gave him a chance to poison Elder Randy.

But what did the owner do? Was it another mistake?

And what about Agnes?

Based on the information that they had gathered so far, Agnes had nothing to do with this whole mess.

But that couldn’t be right…

A thousand thoughts sped through her addled brain.

“Cheer up Janet. You just did something really awesome today. I am going to let the king know about this!” Clemente grinned.

“Clemente wait-”

She wanted to ask him to keep it quiet before they could know more.

Yet Clemente had turned hastily and rushed away.

Standing stiffly for a few more moments, Janet returned to the interrogation room.

The owner was still in his chair, sobbing miserably.

“Queen Janet! Have you talked to General Clemente yet?” he looked at Janet with hope, “Did you tell him that I didn’t mean any of these? And I definitely don’t deserve to be sentenced to death?”

“The King and the elders will mete out your punishment.” Janet studied his tear–stained face and asked, “And now I have one more question for you: do you know Elder Randy before this?”

The owner’s expression was vacant, “Who is Elder Randy? I don’t know him.”

“He is one of the elders that attended the Spring Ball a couple of weeks back, and you were the caterer of that event. Elder Randy got poisoned at the Spring Ball and his symptom matches with Keavy’s.”

The owner rounded his eyes as his brain processed the information.

Then his breathing became heavy.

He burst out crying, “WHAT THE HELL! Are you blaming me for that case as well?! Am I responsible for all the poison cases in the whole world?!”

“I didn’t say that. Calm down-”

Yet the owner had completely lost control of his temper under pressure.

“You rich and powerful people can’t do this! Can’t dump shit on my head like that!!! I won’t be somebody else’s scapegoat!”

He roared, his face twisted by horror and panic, and he banged his fists on the table, “I don’t know that goddamn Elder Randy! You can’t blame me for that! You fucking

can’t-

“CALM DOWN!!

Janet shot up and tried to contain him.

Yet he slapped her hand away, breathing very fast.

“No…NO! You are going to sentence me to death, aren’t you!” he shouted, “Then I take it back! I take all my testimony back! I won’t let you powerful fucks walk over my head-”

Just then, the door to the interrogation room flung open.

Westin strode in with a large group of soldiers and elders behind his back.

“Chain him! And toss him into the cell,” Westin ordered the soldiers icily. “This man is responsible for Keavy’s death and Elder Randy’s poison case. He will be brought to trial later!”

The soldiers piled in and yanked the owner up from his chair.

The owner was still crying miserably, “I didn’t do it! I didn’t poison that elder! You can’t do this to me-”

The soldiers clogged his mouth.

And they dragged him out of the interrogation room.

“…Wait!”

Janet wanted to chase up the owner. Yet Westin stood in her way and placed a hand. on her shoulder.
