Bab 17

What the hell?Aurora widened her eyes at Jenny, the cold sting of betrayal piercing through her whole body.

There was an upsurge of noise among the ministers and attendants.

They whispered amongst themselves, all eyes fixed on them.Aurora grabbed Jenny’s hand, breathing fast,

“What are you talking about?

You know that I have never—”Jenny dropped to her knees , tears pouring out of her eyes:

"I... I saw them... in Steven’s room yesterday.

Steven was half-naked…and they were touching each other…I wanted to expose them but Luna Aurora threatened me with my life…Miss Chloe! Please protect me!

“Of course. You are a brave girl, Jenny.”

Chloe smiled.Aurora felt dizzy with disbelief.She couldn't believe her most trusted maid would betray her. Jenny was like a sister to her.

They supported each other in this lonely packhouse. Why would Jenny betray her?!"Lies…LIAR!" She cried, trembling out of anger.

“I didn’t—”Chloe smirked, triumph gleaming in her eyes, "Lie? Were you in Steven’s room yesterday, Luna Aurora?”“Yes! But…”But she only went to Steven’s room to check on him!Steven was injured during a patrol not long ago.

Yesterday, she went to see if Steven had recovered and changed his bandages for him, which was why he was half-naked.But nothing weird happened between them!"I have evidence to prove the adultery," said Jenny slyly. She pulled out a black lingerie from her poekcet and showed it to evveryone. "A cleaning lady found this in Steven's room.

It belongs to Luna Aurora! It still carries her scent!""Unbelievable!" one of the ministers gasped, "You should be ashamed!"Aurora stared at that black lingerie, panick-striken. She didn't know how this ended up in Steven's room.

Somebody must have put it there to frame her.She tried to say something to defend herself but Chloe didn’t give her a chance.“And not just Jenny, there are others who can testify!" Chloe smiled.She gestured for a few servants to step forward.
