Chapter 320:


    Just then, Alice let out a sharp gasp. She patted her forehead as if a sudden realization had struck her. Digging into her pocket, she pulled out an earring and extended it toward me.


    “Makenna, I found this outside your room when I carried you out of the house.”


    I collected the earring and examined it closely.


    It looked familiar, as if I’d seen it somewhere before… Then it hit me. My eyes widened as I eximed, “This looks like Jessica’s earring!”


    “What?” Alice gasped, pausing to think. A momentter, she connected the dots. “That exins why Frank was so desperate to stop me from seeking help from His Majesty. Were they scheming together?”


    Hearing this, the expressions on the princes’ faces changed. Bryan’s demeanor turned dark instantly. “No wonder Frank had the nerve to stop me then.”


    His blue eyes turned cold. Clenching his jaw, he turned to Amon andmanded, “Take the soldiers and arrest Jessica and Frank immediately!”


    Jessica’s POV:


    Ever since my return from the mountain, I had been restless and on edge.


    I was left wondering why there had been absolutely no word from the pce regarding Makenna. Was she dead or not?


    Had my earring dropped there?


    Fear wound its way around my heart like tight vines, making it hard to breathe.


    To calm this overwhelming dread, I secretly sent a trustworthy person to find out what had happened to Makenna.


    However, as days passed without any update, my anxiety began to subside. I started to believe that maybe, just maybe, that bitch was dead! No one had caught on to my n, right? Nheless, each time Frank returned from the pce, I couldn’t help but ask about her as usual.


    That evening was no different. Frank came home, visibly exhausted from his day at the pce.

    “Darling, any news about Makenna?”


    Just then, someone forcefully kicked the door open with a loud crash.


    A troop of armed soldiers stormed in.


    “Ah!” I screamed out of sheer terror. “Who are you?”


    Frank, equally bewildered, stepped forward and asked softly, “What’s going on?”


    The leader of the soldiers said coldly, “Jessica, Frank, you are used of the attempted murder of the sex ve, Makenna. Prince Bryan has ordered us to bring you in for questioning.”


    What? The n was revealed!


    My heart missed a beat, nearly causing me to falter. But I managed to feignposure and made a final attempt. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. We are innocent!”


    “You’ll need to exin that to His Highness.”


    The lead soldier gestured emotionlessly. Following his signal, the soldiers closed in, encircling me and Frank, and tied us up with cold iron chains.


    “This is not right! We did nothing!”


    “We are innocent! Please let us go!”


    Frank and I struggled. Our cries and pleas for mercy filled the air, but they were futile. The soldiers took us away regardless. Once detained, we were imprisoned separately and subjected to individual interrogations.
