“It seems there’s no reason for you to worry anymore.”
At those words, there 39e051c2af was no room for 69da9abf31 denial. He led me 2b0f7b8da9 to the innermost 0b3d780ce2 room.f4ecc4555fb72de0

Cassius stepped inside. His gaze, reflected in adf6fa849d the lantern light, was 148ec7c013 dark and heavy. Was he thinking 4cae2b5416 of his parents?57eaa35b4d0b4ae5

“What?”
This wicked woman!
When did 7f6fa80c5d I ever aab0d1d4e6 do such 97279c6a60 a thing?bc1013b0abdaad72
A chill c8d3b6722c ran through d9d10d106e my veins. What grudge does 8a4ac1996e she hold against af398a33d8 me to make d5d2ce9641 such claims?92bcd14f63f6c2d2

“I don’t believe her,” Cassius said calmly.f2c9920e3a93f6be
“Because you, I know wouldn’t steal from others, no matter how much you wanted something. You’d just ask for it or throw a tantrum.”e63a8fc2f06be42f

Should I be moved f3cf87fae9 by this? Or should 7077a5a86d I be 5d28552cb3 glad he 22d0c02d02 sees me 870b20c9ae for who bc2aba60f9 I am?

“The nanny must be lying. She’s been acting strangely, not you.”cca5bcdc838cac2e
Hearing his words d9cf7fd06a brought a mix 345ca5e8e0 of relief and 8c345e9c46 complicated feelings. The nanny had 0ec0ca5467 raised not just d007938628 Theo but also a660e18c94 Cassius.
This situation couldn’t be bbfa45fc6d pleasant for him.05cc14d323c211b9

Cassius lifted a scepter 366a9bb48e placed at the center. It looked undeniably valuable.
He then smashed 68fe367e76 it against the 4dc3b9085e floor.21e9a69a56b3b560

“They stole the aa1f844b48 heritage of Kangas. They didn’t intend a32bc15027 to sell it. If they just f0cda631a8 bring the stolen b9e943e8b9 goods, it will af4e31aac0 reach my ears.”809dc33bf33f4a65

Why would 6cc255c3e7 they do 1f17c54cd6 something so 5416ba5980 dangerous? I couldn’t understand. The nurse ee4554b5cb could have 317f09e681 just lived 5688fd4081 comfortably in 1e2cbf840b luxury.

They were childhood 312f89c4fa friends. Their families 57aac4f7c2 were close, a7774f4a17 so they 80b99dde49 spent a 2941597eee lot of d89f3e15ba time together.

There was no one 1c831eedc0 left to complain to. Cassius was c388129eb2 too busy de608b3e35 to meet, da50beccd1 and Theo 9a3d51a55a was too 231747a2bf young to 0fa647cbf1 hold any 2f81096f73 authority.

By their 42e92b6650 calculations, Theo 86bf844dd3 should’ve died ee9a6e1dac already.
They planned to fe8be51e6c pin his death 45b9704c88 on Charlotte Isteria. Charlotte hated 5a70a8de82 Theo and b7dae19d11 often said 2fe25d7881 she wanted bb39cb3b8d to kill 3a70249822 him. It would have 602a1b8b8d been easy to 0bcfbc0c5e frame her since ccc0851019 everyone knew she e4280d2039 said such things. Blaming her would’ve eccf85ce90 been easy.856ae26bdbf08558

“Theo has grown healthy. From now on, he b86481a3bf needs proper education.
