The Valkyrie Returns and Slays (Raven)

Chapter 436

Antonio's face immediately darkened as he turned to Henry, his expression tense and grim.

He had initially thought Raven was just an insignificant doctor, someone he could crush without any repercussions.

But to his shock, Raven held an S-level invitation, a game-changing revelation. With this, he realized he couldn't recklessly pin the blame on Raven anymore. "No! You can't do an autopsy!" Ethan's voice rang out, sharp and instinctive.

The moment the words left his mouth, he could feel the shift in the crowd's gaze. Suspicion hung heavy in the air, their eyes piercing and accusatory.

He hurried to explain, "Ms. Rickard cared deeply about her appearance when she was alive. Cutting into her body now would be a grave insult to her memory!"

As he spoke, his hand shot up, finger pointing directly at Raven. "Admit it! You must have manipulated Dr. Reed into conspiring with you to murder Ms. Rickard!"

Raven's expression turned icy. She could tolerate being slandered, but dragging Ethan into this? That was a step too far.

In a flash, she closed the distance between them, her hand clamping around Henry's throat with unrelenting force.

A strangled sound escaped him as he struggled against her grip.

Raven's gaze locked onto him, her voice cold and cutting. "If Ethan were truly under my manipulation, would he have suggested an autopsy? Tell me, are you against the autopsy because you care, or because you're afraid it'll reveal your role in Helena's murder?"

Henry felt the crushing grip on his neck, a force that could snuff out his life at any moment. Cold sweat trickled down his forehead.
