Chapter 321:

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was dark and depressing.

Sitting across from the interrogator, my body shook with fear. I stole a glance at his chest badge and saw that he was Amon Gray.

“Tell me, where did the snakes come from?” Amon questioned. I struggled to maintain my composure, but there was no way to hide the panic in my eyes.

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Amon sneered. “You don’t know? Then how do you explain your earring being found there?”

With those words, he slammed my delicate earring onto the table, making a faint thud.

My body shook uncontrollably. As my gaze landed on the familiar earring, I was rendered momentarily speechless. Upon seeing this, Amon slammed his fist onto the table with even greater force.

The impact caused the documents on the table to scatter. His voice cut through the air, cold and biting as a winter gale. “Stop acting clueless. It’s best you tell me the truth now. Where did those snakes come from? Why did you try to murder Makenna?”

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down, though my heart pounded fiercely.

“I really don’t know what you are talking about. The earring… It’s not mine.”

As I spoke, my mind raced. Thankfully, I had destroyed the matching earring earlier. Without it, they had no solid proof to pursue.

This realization bolstered my confidence. I feigned calmness and retorted, “Sir, this is all false accusations. Someone is clearly trying to set me up.”

It wasn’t long before a soldier rushed into the interrogation room.

He reported to Amon, “Sir, we found no trace of the other earring at Jessica’s residence.”

At his words, I let out a quiet sigh of relief and put on a display of distress with tears welling up in my eyes.

“Sir, please see, this is all a misunderstanding. Clearly, someone is trying to frame me. Perhaps Makenna has falsely accused me because she hates me!”

Amon fixed a cold gaze on me for a moment. His lips curled into a scornful sneer, as if he saw right through my act. “Humph, just stay here. The investigation is not over yet. This doesn’t clear you as innocent,” he declared.

With those words, Amon stood and made to leave the room. Before he left, he turned to the guard with a stern caution. “Keep a close watch on her. Don’t give her any room.”

Makenna’s POV:

During my two days in the hospital, my body had almost completely recovered, which took me by surprise. I hadn’t expected the antidote to be so effective.

Alice, in a hushed tone, confided that the antidote was a rare one, treasured by the royal family. There were only three of these pills in the entire werewolf race.

The sheer value of the antidote left me in awe, and my gratitude toward Alice and the three princes grew even deeper. The day I was to be discharged arrived quickly. Alice came to help me pack my belongings, but to my astonishment, all three princes came as well.

Stealing a glance at the princes, Alice leaned in and whispered, “The three princes did arrive at the same moment to fetch you, Makenna. They all seem to have unique affections for you, in my opinion. Who would you pick if you were to choose between them one day?” She finished with a playful wink.

I gave her hand a gentle pat, pretending to be cross. “Alice, don’t say such things.”
