Chapter 63: Coercion

Anthony’s POV:

After doing everything we could at the store, Jennifer and I headed back to the royal palace.

The elders already knew about my mother’s disappearance.

They asked me to bring Jennifer back.

It seemed they wanted to make a fuss of things.

The truth was, Jennifer didn’t have to come.

But thinking about how she was to be my wife, I figured it’d be good for her to face the elders better sooner than later.

Thus, I followed the request of the elders and brought her with me.

To my surprise, the elders seemed to be gearing up towards putting all the blame on Jennifer.

They insisted she was to blame for my mother’s disappearance.

“It’s Jennifer’s duty to protect Mrs.Jones, but she disappeared right under her nose.She should take responsibility.”

“Yes.Jennifer needs to be punished!” These elders were adamant.

“Jennifer didn’t do anything wrong. She didn’t know any of this was going to happen!” I defended Jennifer.

“Mr.Jones, there is a rumor that you are obsessed with Jennifer.Seeing you defend her like this, I think they’re not just rumors.You still haven’t found out what happened back then.Is this woman more important than your mother? You’re slowly losing yourself!”

One of the elders spoke sadly.

This elder was one of my trusted confidants.

He had been supporting my fight against Austin.

We hadn’t found out who had killed my father, and the elders had been asking me to investigate.

Even so, I didn’t expect them to argue with me about this.

Since the topic was brought up, the other elders chimed in.

“Yes.There was a rumor that Mr.Jones has become indolent because of a she-wolf.”

“I wonder what else Mr.Jones will do for this she- wolf?”

“So, do you really want to blame Jennifer for my mother’s disappearance?” I asked coldly.

I really couldn’t stand it anymore.

Those old guys were so preoccupied with putting Jennifer down that they weren’t even looking for my mother.

I narrowed my eyes in suspicion.
