Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 1453

Chapter 1453 Rectifying the Council

Seeing that no one spoke up, Alice spoke again, "Does no one have anything to say? Are you all in agreement with Lucian's words, or do you agree with mine?"

With that, she looked around and suddenly called, "Silas Cadwell."

Silas jumped in surprise, wondering why he was being called again.

A sly smile crept up to the corners of Alice's lips. You're one of Lucian's men, are you not? Let's see how you'll respond.

"You speak."

Silas looked somewhat resentful at Alice. How could he navigate this?! He wanted to say that he had no opinion on the Queen's punishment, but he also didn't want to offend Lucian.

Although he seemed to be in a weaker position now, Lucian was cunning, and who knew when he might strike back?! So, it was best not to offend either side.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand and hesitated, adopting a diplomatic tone. "Well... this... I'm not sure I should comment on this. It's, you know, a matter within your family, Your Highness."

Her pupils contracted. While he hadn't shown bias toward Lucian, he also hadn't taken a strong stance in her favor.

Did she lack a mindless puppet?!

Instantly, she turned grim. "A family matter? You've been pressing me for an explanation for three days, worrying about General Bleu one moment and Eurosia the next. Now, when I ask for your opinion and explanation, you say it's a family matter? What's this? You come to work without a brain, just a mouth? Mr. Bailey, find someone to replace his job. I won't keep idlers!"

Azriel immediately responded, "Yes."

Alice then instructed the guards, "Throw Silas out for me."

Silas, seeing the guards approaching to apprehend him, panicked and shouted, "Your Highness, I haven't done anything wrong! You can't treat me like this..."

The guards might have had some reservations about Lucian, but they were not very polite to a consul like Silas. In no time, he was swiftly ejected from the hall amidst Silas' passionate protestations.

Lucian frowned. She was openly attacking him!

"Alice, Silas has always been diligent in his work. You can't just throw him out because he didn't say what you wanted to hear. This way, who will dare to speak the truth in the future?"

Alice sneered, "The truth? Did he say a single truthful word? It was all nonsense!"

As she spoke, she looked at everyone again. "I know all of you in these positions have a slick way of handling things, avoiding offending anyone, not taking sides, and aiming for no achievements but no mistakes. But from today onwards, open your eyes and see the situation clearly. If you want to stay, use your brains. Don't just blindly agree with everything. The era of 'it's none of my business' is over. If you still want to continue living here, you can pack your things and leave!"
