The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 33

Ellia had a guilty expression and looked like she was about to breakdown in tears. Lucianne asked, “Ellia, what’s wrong? Are some of the archives missing?”

She shook her head, “No. It’s..Goddess, I’m so sorry. Uh…a while ago, shortly after you ascended the throne, my King, a few of us were ordered to…manipulate the finances for…a few of the governing members. We were warned that…if the real information was leaked, they will target our families…our kids, when we come to have kids.” She then looked at Russell on Lucianne’s lap as Ben held their daughter in his arms. 1

The three of them were stunned. Lucianne was the first to recover, “Ellia, what are you saying? (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)Does it mean what you’re printing now has been manipulated?”

She nodded and tears started flowing uncontrollably from her eyes to her cheeks as she knelt on both knees on the floor and kept saying ‘I’m sorry‘ over and over again. Lucianne got up hurriedly from the couch, and gave Russell to Xandar to hold as she went to kneel before

Christian mind-linked Xandar, ‘Cuz, if I didn’t just hear what I just heard, I would be laughing that you have to hold that boy right now. This fund-mishandling has been going on for years?!” 1

Lucianne got Ellia to stand. After a few more sobs, Ellia can now form coherent sentences. Her eyes were still fixed on the ground as she uttered, “These have been manipulated but uh …” she sobbed once before continuing, “I have the hard copies of the originals before the manipulation was done.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) We were told to get rid of it outside office premises. Because I’m the most senior here, they let me take it. I tried to get rid of them but I never managed to go through with it. I was always afraid that the recycling personnel would understand what was on the papers so I just kept them in my home office locked up in a few safes. I am so sorry.”

Lucianne then asked, “You mentioned there are others who have been blackmailed. Who?”

“Uh, Brigetta Reese a-and Oscar Wildrow, my assistants. I am so sorry, my Queen. I am so, so sorry.”

Lucianne pulled the remorseful woman into a surprising hug and as she locked eyes with Ben, who looked equally guilty. In her firm voice, Lucianne said, “Ellia, this is not your fault. You and your assistants have been pushed to a corner. You had to protect your family. You had no choice. Don’t feel bad about it. You can still help us.”
