The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 268

Sylvia's POV:

I couldn't believe my ears. Lucy had actually lied in Richard's favor. I really thought that she would have a conscience, especially after surviving the jaws of death. But it turned out that I had thought too highly of her.

"Prince Richard has always respected Prince Rufus as his older brother. I simply can't understand why he would attempt to hurt Prince Richard's child." Lucy touched her belly and said in a pitiful tone, "Prince Richard has been looking forward to having a child for the longest child. Now, his wish is about to come true. Does Prince Rufus really hate us that much?"

"You're insane!" I was so angry that I burst into cynical laughter. Pointing at Richard, I spat at Lucy, "This jerk wanted to have you killed, yet you still help him! Is he threatening you somehow?"

Lucy didn't respond. She just wiped her tears and looked at us piteously.

Richard sneered and his eyes were full of smug joy. "Come on, Sylvia. Drop the act. It's okay if you want to slander me, but to slander Lucy too? The note and the video were all faked by you, and then you framed me. You just wanted to drag my name across the mud, didn't you? What a vicious she-wolf you are!" "Aren't you afraid that this is all going to bite you in the back?" I scolded him harshly, grief and indignation surging in my heart.

I couldn't understand what Lucy was up to. If I hadn't showed up in time, she would've died. She had to know the truth, right? Why did she refuse to reveal the truth? Why did she still side with Richard?

Richard smiled smugly. "We're innocent. You should worry about yourself."

After saying that, Richard rushed over to hold Lucy in his arms like a loving fiance. He started to comfort her gently, "I'm sorry for being late, Lucy. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Thank you for protecting our beautiful child. Don't worry. Father will give us justice."

Tears streamed down Lucy's face. She buried her head into Richard's arms and said dramatically, "Thank God you're here. You don't know how scared I was!"
