The Queen They Buried

Chapter 513

The housekeeper dutifully informed Alice that Ronald was waiting for her in the study.

Alice found it strange. After thinking for a moment, she figured it must be about the Timothy incident.

Those two people were already dead and made the news. She had assumed that with them dead and the plan failed, Ronald would let it go. She hadn’t expected him to question her now.

Alice sneered and headed to the study.

She pushed the door open and found it completely dark inside. “Why is the light off?”

The dim light from the hallway cast faint shadows into the room. She could vaguely make out Ronald sitting on the ground in a disheveled manner. Alice frowned. ‘Had something happened?‘

A sense of unease crept into her chest.

“Close the door.” Ronald’s voice was hoarse and frightening.

Alice’s heart immediately sank. She shut the door and felt along the wall for the light switch, flicking it on.

The room lit up in an instant.
