Luo Yuan never dreamed that the person trying to strangle her would be Lawson!
Lawson was Nangong Yu's secretary-general. Did Nangong Yu send him?
Luo Yuan's blood ran cold.
If they couldn't be husband and wife anymore, a peaceful separation would have sufficed. Why did it have to be a fight to the death?
Was her life really that worthless?
Luo Yuan closed her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she looked at Lawson with a deep frown. Don't tell me you killed Luya too!
Lawson did not answer.
Wen Yan answered Luo Yuan's question for him. He killed her.
Luo Yuan's eyes widened in shock. Why? Lawson is Nangong Yu's secretary-general. Could Nangong Yu have ordered him to kill Luya?
Countless doubts swirled in Luo Yuan's mind.
Wen Yan stood up and walked over to Lawson. Secretary Lawson, you are good-looking, come from a privileged background, and are highly capable. Why did you let Nangong Yu use you as a weapon?
Trapped by a powerful magnetic field, Lawson could not move. He glared at the stunningly beautiful woman before him, his eyes dark and cold. Mind your own business, outsider.
Wen Yan sighed. What's the point of killing Luya and Princess Luo Yuan? Neither of them is the woman Nangong Yu truly wants to protect!
Lawson's face twisted into a ferocious scowl, his gaze looking as if he wanted to devour Wen Yan alive. Stop trying to drive a wedge between me and the Crown Prince!
He had committed crimes for years, never expecting that he would fall into the hands of a woman today.
Watching Lawson's impotent rage, Wen Yan crossed her arms over her chest and said slowly, Well then, let me tell you about what happened between you and Nangong Yu!
Since you were young, you had a penchant for cross-dressing. Every time you dressed as a girl, the neighborhood kids would mock you. Once, when you were being laughed at and pushed to the ground, Nangong Yu walked over and helped you up. He fiercely chased away the kids bullying you, then smiled gently at you and called you pretty. At that moment, your heart felt as sweet as honey. From then on, you paid special attention to him.
Not long after, Nangong Yu's eyes were injured. You realized he was out of favor and often bullied, so you snuck into the palace to quietly keep him company. The more you interacted with him, the more you liked him.
Before he left to have his eyes treated, he gave you a jade pendant. When his eyes were healed, you went to the palace to find him, only to overhear him telling a servant that his true love was the most beautiful little fairy in the world. In that moment, you lost your courage, because you weren't a real fairy; you were just a boy in a dress.
You didn't dare to reveal your identity to him, only secretly keeping tabs on him. Later, you found his private social media account. Whenever he posted an update, you would read it several times like a man possessed. A few years later, he complained on his account that his eldest brother and sister-in-law treated him poorly. He said that once his brother inherited the throne, his life would be miserable, and that living felt worse than death. So, you quietly tampered with his brother and sister-in-law's airplane, causing their family to die in a plane crash.
That was your first time killing for him, and it was such important members of the royal family. You were terrified, feeling that your bloodstained hands made you unworthy of him forever. So, you secretly left the jade pendant in his palace, intending to cut all ties with him. But you never expected that Luya would take the pendant and impersonate his true love, secretly dating Nangong Yu.
You were incredibly jealous, but you still didn't dare to tell the truth. Uncontrollably, you continued to monitor Nangong Yu's updates. You saw him complaining on his private account about the Eldest Princess, the Third Prince, and the Fourth Prince, so you took action again, secretly eliminating all threats for him.
You arranged for a handsome gigolo infected with HIV to approach the Eldest Princess, infecting her. You orchestrated a car accident that cost the Third Prince his legs, and you sent the most beautiful woman in Country S to seduce the Fourth Prince, leaving him trapped by love.
It wasn't that the Queen never suspected Nangong Yu, but he was too cunning and kept his own hands completely clean. Meanwhile, with your extensive experience in harming others and the fact that money talks, nothing you did ever raised suspicion. After all, in the eyes of outsiders, you had no grudges against the royal family and absolutely no reason to harm them!
You cleared all the obstacles on Nangong Yu's path to becoming the Crown Prince. He successfully reached the top and gained overwhelming power, but you never expected Luya to get pregnant.
As Lawson listened to the woman's unhurried narrative, his face remained impassive, but a stormy sea raged in his heart.
These were secrets only he knew. How did this woman know everything?
Who exactly was she?
These are just your delusions. You don't have a shred of evidence.
Wen Yan's lips twitched into a smirk.
She indeed had no evidence.
But...
You probably don't know that Nangong Yu hid a pinhole camera inside the ruby necklace he gave Luya. The video evidence of you killing Luya with your own hands last night and framing Luo Yuan is entirely in his possession.
Once Luo Yuan is executed, Nangong Yu will hand over the evidence of your crimes, and you won't be able to escape either.
Nangong Yu's scheming runs far deeper than you can imagine. He played you for a fool, and you're still doing his bidding!
Since childhood, Nangong Yu has wanted to sit on the highest throne. When you were mocked for cross-dressing and called a little freak, only for him to swoop in and play the hero—he orchestrated all of it. When he was blind and you stayed by his side, did you really think he didn't know your true identity? He knew it was you all along.
The updates he posted on his private social media account were visible only to you. He knew you loved him. He knew that as long as he played the victim to win your sympathy, you would foolishly act as his executioner and clear every obstacle for him.
After you caused his eldest brother and sister-in-law to die in the plane crash, he sensed that you wanted to stop and cut ties with him. So, he deliberately let Luya find that jade pendant, intentionally misleading you to believe how important his true love was to him. Watching him and Luya being so sweet in love felt like ants gnawing at your heart. You brainwashed yourself into believing he was just a devoted man deeply in love with his first love, willingly letting him manipulate you. You couldn't bear to see him bullied by the royal family, so you continued to commit crimes for him!
Now that he finally holds absolute power, and his beloved woman is seven months pregnant, you, Luya, and Princess Luo Yuan no longer have any use to him. Naturally, he wants to eliminate all of you.
Luya wasn't actually pregnant with his child. He never slept with Luya; he had other men sleep with her, and Luya foolishly thought it was him.
He knew that once Luya got pregnant, you would definitely make her miscarry. He knew that the more he pretended to care about Luya, the faster you would kill her.
By killing Luya, you were bound to use Luo Yuan as a scapegoat, allowing him to effortlessly get rid of two women he didn't love. Then, he would present the evidence of your murder, leading to your arrest. Tell me, isn't that killing three birds with one stone?
Lawson grew agitated. Bullshit! He's not that kind of person!
Upon hearing Wen Yan's words, Luo Yuan felt as though the blood in her veins had turned to ice.
Nangong Yu's scheming mind was truly too deep and utterly terrifying!
Wen Yan's lips curled into a faint smile. "Don't panic. I'll take you to face reality right now."
Wen Yan and Si Moyan took Lawson to a villa in the suburbs.
Wen Yan used an invisibility talisman on Lawson. When Lawson saw the scene unfolding inside the villa, he froze in sheer shock!
