The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 342

Sylvia's POV:

Unable to do or say any more, Shawn finally quieted down.

Blair went ahead and took out another thing-- a transparent ziplock bag. He handed it to Ethan as well and said, "This was the remaining drug I found in Mateo's room. We can have it tested. Recently, it's been discovered that Prince Richard and Mateo have been contacting each other closely. We should be able to look into the details of their communication. Perhaps this entire thing was planned by the two of them."

I bit my lower lip hard, fighting the urge to kill that was boiling up inside my body. I knew I could not afford to show impulsiveness right now.

Ethan's face darkened. He ordered his confidant to send the sample to a lab immediately for testing.

"Your Majesty, please let us know the results. This will greatly help clear my mother's name." With tears in my eyes, I bowed to Ethan.

The day of reckoning was finally upon us.

Ethan sighed and nodded somberly.

"I will announce the results in three days."

While waiting for the rest of the investigation, Mateo was put in jail for the meantime and Richard was grounded.

Rufus took my hand and together, we left the meeting hall. I followed him closely and began to notice that the haze that had been shrouding my heart for many days was finally beginning to disappear.

When we walked into the corridor, we saw Shawn there.

He was standing in the middle of the hallway with a blank expression on his face, looking like he had lost his spirit.

I stole a quick glanced at him as we passed by, but moved forward and pretended I didn't see him.

"I'm sorry for treating you as my enemy's daughter for all these years. I guess that was why I did those things to you."

I heard Shawn's mumbling voice come from behind. He spoke in such a low tone that it could almost be swept away by the wind if I hadn't heard it.

I stopped in my tracks, but decided not to respond.

His late apology and regretful expression seemed too late for me.

Rufus looked at me with concern. Looking up at him, I just smiled quietly and continued to walk forward.
