Chapter 1738


    “She’s too cunning and ruthless for our liking. We Harpers have no room for someone like her.”


    Presley eximed, abruptly rising from his seat. His cane struck the floor with a loud thud, echoing


    his anger. He stormed up the stairs, leaving a tense Robin sitting in silence.


    When every detail of Ava’s past was exposed, Queen Julia’sst shred of sympathy for her


    vanished. Ava cunningly assumed Yasmine’s position, fearing Yasmine’s potential return, and even


    hired a hitman to eliminate any threat to her own standing The harm inflicted on Yasmine’s legs was


    a direct result


    of Ava’s merciless actions


    Ava enjoyed the life that should have belonged to Yasmine, basking in the protection and love that


    were meant for her Yet, she nned to eradicate Yasmine, the Queen’s own daughter,pletely


    How could Queen Julia ever forgive her?


    Living for so many years. Queen Julia realized how gravely wrong she had been Ava’s actions were


    simply unforgivable. Despite being a wise and skillful ruler, Queen Julia had made a grave mistake


    with Ava


    Ava was immediately incarcerated in the royal court’s justice department. This department was


    established for the royal family, adhering to the principle of equality in punishment for all, regardless


    of their status e2


    Locked away for a full three days, Ava spent each day contemting how to meet Queen Julia. She


    exhausted every possible excuse that might earn forgiveness from the Queen, yet those


    justifications failed to convince even herself Yet, she couldn’t remain confined. She couldn’t simply


    die. She had a long life ahead of her She was a princess and her husband was also the Queen’s


    nephew. She had a life of wealth and honor waiting for her Why would she want to die? However,


    no matter what she said, no one was willing to deliver her message to the Queen.


    “Guards, guards! Are you all deaf? Can’t you hear me calling you? How dare you ignore me? I’m


    stuck in here, but don’t think I’ll forget this! Once I’m out you’ll all be dismissed”


    Three days of darkness had worn her patience thin. Queen Julia’s silence made her more anxious.


    She had a strong feeling of beingpletely abandoned. As a princess, she was ustomed to


    commanding others and being superior. She was always poised and elegant


    Thew enforcement officersughed at Ava’s irrational screams. They were fed up with her


    arrogant attitude


    “Do you really think you can get out? You know what you’ve done. Do you still think you can rule the


    kingdom?”


    Ava was shocked, “What do you mean?”


    The officer sneered, “You’re a murderer. You stole our princess’s position, hired hitmen to kill the


    real princess, and used the Queen’s love to gain power and wealth. You conspired with your sister


    to kill the Alonso family’sdy during childbirth. There’s a long list of your disgusting acts


    Even if the Queen wanted to forgive you, could the citizens agree? She’s the Queen, the ultimate


    symbol of justice. If she forgave you, how could she maintain her authority? Can she really choose


    you over her entire kingdom?”


    Avas anguished expression turned pallid. Staring at those people, she stuttered, her mouth opening


    and closing. “Y–you you”


    “How did we find out?”


    One of them retorted, thenughed, “What does it matter if we know? The entire nation knows of


    your actions, or should I say the entire world knows what kind of person you and your daughters


    are. So give up any other thoughts. The Queen won’t forgive you, let alone spare you. You reap


    what you sow When you did all those depraved things in the past, you should have thought about


    your future.”


    Avas face was deathly pale, devoid of any color Meanwhile, in another cell, Barbara, upon hearing


    those words, could no longer feignposure. She lunged at the door, shouting desperately. Tm


    innocent! I didn’t do anything! I didn’t kill anyone or do those things! Please inform my grandmother


    Tel her that I’m truly innocent. I didn’t do anything!”


    “We don’t know if you killed someone, but this time, conspiring against the royal heir, you’re an


    aplice. Don’t try to evade responsibility. You’ll see how the Queen judges it ”


    “Be quiet! No more shouting Screaming your lungs out wont change the oue”


    After thew enforcement officers spoke, their figures disappeared entirely


    Left alone. Ava and Barbara were pale and devastated


    Soon, the door opened, and a tall figure walked in, stopping in front of Ava. When she saw it was


    William, her eyes trembled.


    She grabbed his coat pleading. William tell mother to forgive me I cant stay here.”


    “Give up” William said coldly “You’re not getting out”


    Ava stared at him and didn’t say anything


    William stepped back, pulling his coat from her grip


    He pushed the document towards her “Sign it”


    It didn’t take a genius to figure out what it was, a divorce agreement


    Ava shook her head, a flurry of emotions washing over her shock, heartbreak and finally, a bitter


    laugh.

    William watched her with cold eyes. Even if you dont sign, this marriage is over Only difference is,


    when you die, I be a widower”


    Ava’s hand trembled, 1 wont die, how could I possibly die?”


    “An eye for an eye Your life for the countless ones you’ve taken. Your death would be no loss.”


    Ava shook her head rapidly, like a mad woman, “No no


    ?

    “Sign it, and we can part ways amicably”


    Ava scoffed, “I will not sign. If you say I make you a widower, then so be it. At least I’ll die as your


    wife. Knowing it’s going to end this way, why did you even bothering?”


    “Because of nly obsession and unwillingness. I may have felt guilty towards you, but that was


    before you manipted and coerced me into this marriage. I cannot stand the thought of spending


    my life tied to you No matter what, I need to end this connection. Say what you will, and me me


    all you want, I never intended to be the perfect gentleman in your eyes. So don’t love me, I’m not


    worth it.


    “Just sign this. At this point, any further insistence is meaningless. As for the two daughters, I’ll try


    to discuss with my aunt. After all, they are my daughters. Their hands are not stained with blood, so


    leniency should not be a problem.


    “You should have paid for your actions a long time ago. This is your karma.”
