Chapter 266:
I hated him for believing the lies Rosa spread about me trying to elope with Ray and deceiving him about the paternity of the child.
Goddess knows how hard I tried to defend myself, but he wouldn’t listen.
It was Rosa’s word against mine.
I was powerless.
The air around me grew tense. My brows furrowed as reality dawned on me.
I could swear it was Rosa who framed me.
Since she hated me, she would do anything to get me out of the way.
The way she lied about me so easily in Damon’s presence convinced me that she was the one who set me up.
But it was a baseless accusation.
I couldn’t accuse her without solid proof. I needed to catch her red-handed.
A smirk curved around my lips as an idea popped into my head.
Rosa and Ray were at the top of my list.
My eyes would be glued to them like a hawk.
I would get closer to Ray to gather more information from him. It was clear that whoever was using him was in the castle.
However, I had to be careful not to put my head on a plate.
I didn’t want anyone to misunderstand my closeness to Ray.

It was a miracle that he was alive, despite the news of his death.
My brows furrowed in confusion as I tried to process it. How could Ray be alive when Damon killed him and… fed him to the wolves?
Were my ears deceiving me, or was I misunderstanding things? Something wasn’t right.
I had felt it from the day I stepped into the castle.
Why did Sila’s face carry such a horrid expression when we met?
I couldn’t ignore the way he pinned me with a death glare before whispering something to a guard.
I could feel it in my bones—he was part of those responsible for framing me, trying to get me out of the picture.
But why Silas?
My eyes widened as I froze in place, shocked.
It all made sense now.
Silas was Rosa’s uncle, and he would do anything to make his niece the King’s mistress and eliminate anyone standing in her way.
My body started to tremble in fear as I pieced everything together.
It became clearer with each passing thought.
A mean expression crossed my face, hardening my features.
Whether delayed or swift, justice would be served. They would pay with the last drop of their blood!
