Chapter 163:
Despite her struggle to hold back, she was at her breaking point.
That was the last straw. She wasn’t going to stay silent while her uncle placed all the blame on her.
If it was that easy, he should have done it himself.
“I tried my best, the goddess bear me witness,” she started. Her voice was low, trying not to provoke him further.
“Your best is as good as not trying at all!” he snapped.
“I played my cards well, but the doctor gave my secrets away,” she tried to defend herself, hoping to calm Silas’ rigid heart.
“You didn’t take care of the doctor. You should have sent her on an errand of no return since she had a loose mouth. You shouldn’t work with people who can’t keep secrets. It’s dangerous. If you’d done that, victory would have been ours.”
It infuriated him even more that she hadn’t thought of that. If she had just dealt with the doctor, they wouldn’t be in this mess.
“Are you planning on rotting away here or are you coming up with a plan?” Silas asked, raising an eyebrow. Deep down, he hoped she had set something in motion.
Despite how bad things were, he wasn’t going to give up easily.
The throne of the Alpha King was his to claim!
“I don’t know what to do. My days are numbered. Meanwhile, Damon came around this evening. Out of… ”
In anger, I told him that he didn’t own Aurora’s child. I didn’t know why I said that, but I was just bitter about the recent events.

“You did that? Splendid! So how did it go?” Silas’ face lit up with hope at Rosa’s words.
“I was tortured and silenced,” Rosa replied, biting her bottom lip as tears rolled down her face.
“I wasn’t asking if you were tortured, I was asking how he took the news, dummy!” Silas snapped impatiently. “I don’t care about what happens to you.”
Rosa’s eyes shut in pain at his words, but she tried to contain her anger. “There was no proof, no evidence. From his reaction, he didn’t believe my story.”
“Why? You weren’t convincing enough.”
“How can I be convincing when I lied about it? The baby belongs to him, and everyone knows Aurora is decent.”
“I know you want to leave this hell,” he blurted, staring around the dungeon. “But if you want me to help you, you need to sound convincing. Make him believe you.”
“But how?” Rosa argued. Her face contorted into a deep frown.
“Think about it, Rosa. If the child doesn’t belong to him, it means she cheated on him. Make him believe Aurora is a cheat.”
Rosa’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets at Silas’ words.
How cunning he was!
“But how?” she asked in disbelief.
“I thought you were smart,” he hissed. “Well, it’s easy. Get a random lowlife man, sweet-talk him into getting close to Aurora, make him kiss her unexpectedly, and have someone take pictures of their encounters. Send a guard to get his attention or get the pictures to his Beta. That alone is solid evidence. He might not fully believe you, but he might start seeing elements of truth in your words.”
