Chapter 140 What a Sickening Mug

“Speak carefully now, Josephine. Did someone pull your strings? Did Maia bribe you and ask you to stage the whole thing? You’re such a good girl. How’s it possible for you to do such a thing alone?”

Rita smacked her chest to show how heart–wrenching it was for her. She could not stop. herself from trying to frame Maia for it.

Josephine clenched her fist and closed her eyes. She knew what Maia meant to Cedric. She was not going to fall for the same trick twice. “I did it all by myself. I wanted to avenge Zera.”

No one bought what she said. Baz was particularly skeptical about it. Cedric maintained a gloomy face, not saying anything.

Then, Judy said, “You let Ms. Rita down, Ms. Josephine! Did you not think about her reputation? She took pity on you and took you to Prismara. I can’t believe this is how you repay her! You deserve everything that’s coming to you!”

Rita and Judy did a good job at keeping up the ruse. Cedric grinned slowly. It was amusing to watch them.

Cedric sounded so calm that no one could guess what he was thinking. Then, he stubbed out the cigarette, threw it at Judy’s feet, and said sinisterly, “Do it, Baz.”

“At once.” Baz had worked with Cedric for many years. He could guess Cedric’s thoughts from a single glance. Then, he took out a dagger and seized Judy.

Despite how vocal she had been just a second ago, Judy could think of nothing to say now. She was beside herself with fear. She wanted to take a step back, but Baz had her firmly in his grip.

“S–Save me, Ms. Rita!” Judy pleaded.
