The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 196 One Hundred and Ninety-Six

Xandar protested, ‘Okay, that’s just unfair, Christian. My mate is way more lethal than I am when it comes to Whitlaw and the others. And she was the one who led us to the audits for Whitlaw’s current downfall. This adorable creature seated between us right now is the most qualified one to lead the villains here. If anything, I’m only her loyal henchman.’

Christian pictured the image Xandar just described to him. When his imaginative mind added fiery flames behind Lucianne, and Xandar by her side awaiting orders, the Duke had to cover his mouth as he linked, ‘Cuz, if I laugh and Annie throws a fit, I’m going to kill you.’ Xandar decided to play it safe and ended their link as he hid his own smile in his mate’s hair.

Pierre Whitlaw’s lips quivered, making the increasingly-impatient prosecutor ask, “Have you made any transactions to Zina Pova, Mr Whitlaw?”

“I-I…” he fumbled over his words as Mrs Whitlaw’s onyx eyes threw daggers into her husband’s alarming ones. He tried to persuade her to not attend trial but she insisted on coming along to show support. So, Pierre hatched a plan with Clark to ask for an adjournment to get rid of Mrs Whitlaw, by asking her to go home to fetch something for him. This plan obviously backfired.

The prosecutor sighed as she began again, “Do you know Zina Pova, Mr Whitlaw?” Mrs Whitlaw decided that she had heard enough. Taking her five-figure handbag, she got up from her seat and left the courtroom as the minister yelled out a desperate, “Camille!”

The murmurs and chatters took a little more time to be silenced by Judge Cook. When everyone’s eyes returned to Whitlaw on the stand, he muttered, “I-I…Y-Yes.”

“She received a significant sum over the years. Why is that?”

Whitlaw’s whisper wouldn’t have been heard if it weren’t for the Lycans’ sharp hearing when the minister said, “She’s the mother of my biological daughter.”

Well aware of the furious note-taking by the media, Whitlaw continued to explain, “I had her before I married Camille. When…Zina conceived, she filed a suit in court seeking funds for maintenance. We reached a settlement in private, and it was agreed that I would contribute to the child’s upbringing.”

Christian suddenly linked Xandar, ‘Oops, not a mistress. Looks like he just tried to be a responsible father.’

Xandar linked in response, ‘One who steals from the government. Talk about being the father of the year.’

‘Decade.’ Christian corrected.
