The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 731

Sylvia's POV:

When I arrived at my residence, I happened to see Rufus walk out of the room.

He looked anxious. He probably thought I got kidnapped by Noreen again.

"I saw you talking to the guests just now, so I went out to get some fresh air. I didn't see you when I came back," I said as I guiltily scratched my nose.

I didn't tell him that I had talked to Edwin because I rarely ever talked to that man. Telling Rufus the truth would only arouse his suspicion, especially when I came to Edwin all of a sudden. I didn't want Rufus to go and talk to him as well. Edwin had always been respectful toward Rufus. Even though Edwin wasn't aware of the curse, he might say something that might arouse Rufus ' suspicion.

Rufus breathed a sigh of relief when I explained myself. He didn't doubt my words. He just took me inside the room and told me the investigation results.

"A hint of Noreen's scent was found on Chet's body. At that same time, two witnesses saw Chet rushing inside Leonard's room. If we're not mistaken, Noreen probably controlled him."

"Hold on..." I furrowed my eyebrows. "There were witnesses?"

Alina told me that no one saw what happened except for her. Where exactly did those witnesses come from?

Rufus nodded. "But the witnesses died in an accident this morning."

I gasped. "They died in an accident? Right after giving their testimony?"

If Noreen was the one behind this, she wouldn't go as far as to conceal the truth by killing the witnesses. After all, a dagger laced with her scent had already given her away.

"I think there's someone else behind it. Leonard's death probably isn't entirely attributed to Noreen." Rufus frowned.

I couldn't figure it out. Noreen probably killed Leonard because of what happened that year. My mother's choice to be with Leonard made Noreen feel betrayed, so it only made sense that she would take revenge on Leonard.
