Chapter 917
Chapter 917:
I whirled around to see the three princes entering with measured steps, each radiating an aura of undeniable authority that seemed to thicken the very air around them.
Bryan led the procession. His piercing eyes resembled cold stars in the night sky, emanating an intimidating presence that commanded immediate respect. Each step he took seemed to press down on one’s heart, carrying with it an invisible weight that demanded submission. Dominic followed closely behind, his face carved from stone, sharp eyes cutting through everyone’s facades like a blade through silk.
Next came Clayton, whose usually gentle countenance now bore an unfamiliar gravity. His furrowed brows lent him a solemnity that transformed his entire bearing.
Witnessing their arrival, Cody’s face instantly morphed into a sycophantic smile. He hastily stepped forward, bowing with exaggerated reverence. “Good day, Your Highnesses.”
Dayton mirrored the gesture, bending slightly at the waist as he joined Cody in the greeting.
The three princes dismissed the formalities with indifferent waves of their hands.
Dominic stepped forward with deliberate grace, lifting his foot to deliver a light kick to the kneeling pharmacy owner. A sly smile played across his lips as he announced, “I’ve discovered some interesting things. I wonder if you would like to know, Mr. Harrison?”
Makenna’s POV:
The arrival of the three princes seemed to electrify the room. Their eyes were fixed on Cody as though he were their target.
Cody’s face turned ashen immediately. His calm demeanor disappeared, replaced by a look of panic.
However, he managed to force a smile that was more awkward than reassuring. “Prince Dominic, please enlighten me,” he said, his voice quivering slightly.

Dominic’s lips curved into a mischievous smile as he slowly clapped his hands. Clap, clap…
At the sound of his applause, a soldier strode forward purposefully, holding a pouch of gold coins.
The soldier approached the pharmacy owner and, without a second thought, opened the pouch and flung the coins directly at his face.
The coins scattered across the room.
“Take a good look, Cody. Would you mind explaining to us what these are?” Dominic asked sharply.
A look of panic swept across Cody’s face.
He glanced at the coins scattered across the floor and swallowed hard. Finally, he looked up at Dominic and said, “I don’t understand what you mean, Prince Dominic. Please be more clear.”
Clayton stepped forward, his face stern. “Our men found a letter at the pharmacy owner’s house. The letter was written by the Harrison family’s butler, instructing him to frame Edward in exchange for a hefty sum as a reward.”
The room erupted into chaos the moment Clayton finished speaking.
Cody’s face drained of color, and a look of pure horror overtook him. His voice trembled as he said, “That’s impossible, Your Highness. I would never do such a thing! I wouldn’t have left such evidence if I were the one who orchestrated it. Someone’s trying to frame me.”
