Chapter 126

Lucianne coughed profusely after choking on the broccoli she was chewing in her mouth when they were told that Christian was one of the people they’d have to investigate for sexual harassment.

Her choking made Xandar’s eyes snapped wider in worry as he took his phone from her hand and placed i t on the couch while he rubbed comforting circles on her back, holding a glass of water near her.

After a few more coughs, Lucianne took a few sips of water before she managed to say, “F-Fine, Sir Weaver. Thank -” Cough. “Thank you. Sorry about that, Lord Yarrington. Please continue.”

“No no. I’m fine. Please continue the uh…complaints made against Christian. Who are they?” Lucianne insisted as she took sips from the glass of water Xandar placed into her hands, prompting her to drink itt o clear her throat.

Yarrington proceeded to explain, “The ten complainants are all wolves from different packs, my Queen. And the range of the complaints goes back ten years, one in each year. But there’s also a possibility that this may be a false complaint lodged for…slanderous intentions.”

Xandar then asked, “What makes you say that?”
