Eloise admitted to framing Kurtis and even hiring a k

The case went straight to Arthur. With all witnesses and evidence in hand, Leonard was sentenced to death, his tution set for autumn.

Yet before his sentence could be carried out, Leonard committed suicide by smashing his head against the cell wall.

As for Elise, she also received the death sentence.

Framing a revered general was a capital offeme. No pleas for leniency would be entertained.

The sudden reversal in Kurtis’s comiction took everyone by surprise

It immediately caused quite a stir…

Athena couldn’t comprehend why Leonard had led himself before the verdict was even

“Why did he have to die at this critical moment? What was he trying to hide? Athena wondered.

It seemed that only Eloise knew the rest of the matter.

When Athena arrived, she found Eloise huddled in the comer, staring vacantly at the ceiling.

Back in her days of wealth and privilege, Eloise was particular about her clothes and jewelry. Even the slightest discomfort in the fabric would have complaining nonstop.

Yet now, she wore nothing but the coarse garments of a condemned prisoner, awaiting her execution.

It was a cruel twist of fate.

The sound of footsteps snapped Eloise back to her senses. Her face lit up as she looked eagerly toward the cell door and cried out, “Willow, that you! Willow

Eloise rushed to the bars, but the moment she saw who stood outside her cell, her smile hope.

“What are you doing here?” Eloise spat, her voice

oice dripping with disdain.

Instead of Willow, the one she’d been longing to see, it was Athena who appeared.

Athena couldn’t miss the disappointment flashing in Eloise’s eyes as the jailer unlocked the orll door to let her in

Trina followed closely behind Athena, carrying a food container.

Once inside, Trinacrully unpacked the food hamper, arranging each dish on the table.

Eloise fixed Athena with a look of pure hatred. “What are you doing here? Come to gloat over my downfall?

People said that a dying person’s words would be kind.

But Athena saw no trace of kindness in Eloise–only pure, unadulterated hatred

She finally dropped the act. This was the real Eloise, not the one who would put on that pitiful act and beign sincerity.

Athena glanced around the cell All she was straw covering the floor. There was not even a blanket or bedding in sight.

Athena simply watched her in silence, her eyes revealing nothing

She thought, “Truth be told, I am not sure whether I hate Eloise or not

Eloise slowly set down her silverware, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and said coldly, “Leave I don’t want to sear you anymore

Just then, Eloise’s desperate voice called after her, “Willow. I want to see Willow!”

Athena shot Eloise a startled look, only to see her eyes bloodshot and welling with tears, desperate hope atched on her face.

Athena looked lost in thought and mused softly. “Trina, tell me. Why would a mother not love her own child?
