Sylvia's POV:
The news that Joanna attempted to assassinate the lycan king nearly scared me out of my mind. How could it be possible? It sounded even more ridiculous than a watermelon growing on a tree. "What the hell is going on? Is the lycan king okay?" No wonder Rufus was called away as soon as we stepped out of the car. He must have gone to deal with this matter.
Harry's face was lined with worry as he replied, "The king is still unconscious. Joanna was caught on the spot."
"How could this have taken place all of a sudden? Don't you spend all your time with Joanna? Didn't you notice her motives?" My brow was furrowed and my stomach churned uneasily. If something happened to Ethan, Joanna would definitely be executed.
"I indeed discovered that Joanna is actually a killer, and she arrived in the imperial capital with a mission. But I didn't know her target was the lycan king!" Harry seemed to be in a foul mood, too. He sounded anxious and upset.
I was furious that he had concealed the fact that Joanna was a killer. I couldn't stop my temper from flaring. "Even if you didn't know who her target was, you should have at least informed us in advance. Now things turn out like this. If something happens to the lycan king, do you think Joanna will get to live?"
I knew that Harry liked Joanna. Maybe he thought that she was on our side and wouldn't do anything to hurt us. But Harry was too naive this time.
He lowered his head guiltily. "I'm sorry. Joanna is my mate, and I think she is a good person. I thought I could keep a strict watch on her, but I didn't expect the situation to turn out like this."
I inhaled deeply and tried to calm myself down. There was no point in blaming anyone now. Since something catastrophic had already happened, we had to focus on finding a solution.
At this point, I could only pray that Ethan was not gravely injured and would regain consciousness soon.
"Sylvia, will you help me?" Harry raised his pitiful puppy eyes and watched me miserably.
