=====================================

"Do you think I am a fool like any of them to believe in your false tears! You are just like your mother, a bunch of lies! I wasted all my life treating you like my own, thinking you will learn!

But in the end, blood is thicker! You are like them only!" the eyes of hazel turned cold when she heard her!

So she was not her mother and what Amelia had said was true! There was a story behind her mother\'s death! She had to kill Diana only after she knew the truth!

"Mother, what are you saying?" although Diana was looking at her with hatred field eyes, she did not let her true emotions come out as her face truend disheartened and full of heartbreak./

She was looking too frail and pitiful with that look on her face that many felt bad for her. They all knew that the mother daughter never treated hazel as their own. Yet she was so upset about the death of her sister!

"Mother, I was not in the palace so I did not know about it! Please do not be angry and blame me! I promise I will find the real culprit and punish him!" she tried to stand from the ground and approach her mother again whose eyes were still filled with bloodlust!

"You! Do you think I will believe you? If you have so much remorse, then go and kill yourself! Only your death would be able to appease me!

Why is it that my daughter died when you are still alive? What right do you have to live when she was the one who should have it all!" she came forwards and raised her hand to give one tight slap to Hazle!

Hazel had already braced herself for the slap. The more she would be insulted yet bear with it, the more she would get the support of the nobles.

They had seen her power, if she wanted, she could have thrown the countess out, yet she stood there and bare everything. Wasn\'t she so kind? If she needed to bear a slap for it, why did it matter? Since she had been beaten so many times in the past!

But before Diana\'s hands could touch the cheeks of hazel, Alex held them in his tight grip.

He glared at the old woman who thought that she could do anything!

"What do you think you are doing? Lady hazel is so worried that she didn\'t mind your violence but that does not mean we all are blind too?

Instead of crying over your daughter\'s death and trying to find the real culprit, you are trying to put the blame on her and beating her!

Are you even upset with the death of your daughter or you are just furious that it was Amelia who died not hazel!?

If I did not know any better, I would have thought that you left the beast in so that it could kill Hazel, but accidently Amelia got killed since Hazel was not in the palace!"

Alex spat with anger earning a lot of gasps around her. Even the eyes of Diana widened when she heard them!

"What the hell are you talking about? Why would I try to kill Hazel and why would i.. You are just spouting nonsense!

Who are you and why are you meddling in our affairs? "She asked in a trembling voice. Her whole body was trembling with rage.

She wanted it to tear the body of Hazel into pieces just like how her daughter died! Yet they have the audacity to blame her for the whole accident!

"Crazy! You all are crazy! I will take the case to the royal court, just you wait! I will only be relaxed when all of you will receive a death penalty!" her chest heaved up and down with anger as she looked at both of them.

If she had lost everything then why were they getting sympathy? This slut had enticed another man to support her. Just what was so special in her except the look of her mothers!

Both of them only know how to trap men!

"Of course, you do not have to worry about it. We have already informed his highness. He is personally dealing with the case and soon the culprit would be out.

Just for your personal hatred do not blame a girl who has spent all her life serving you only!" added Alex as he held the crying hazel by her shoulder.

Hazel was still crying and not able to form a single word out. Her eyes had turned red and her face was a mess, yet she was looking at her mother with a pleading gaze as if asking her not to throw her away!

"Mother! Please, I am sure they will find the real culprit! Do not be so hard on me. I still want to say goodbye to my sister!" She slowly moved towards her mother again but that did not mean Diana would fall in her trap!

This was all the plan! She must be planning something! She had known that since the time she had warned her not to play anymore tricks! And she had accepted it and stayed away from the affairs of hazel, yet she killed her daughter so gruesomely and now she wanted to go and meet her!

Ha! What a joke!

"Do not dare to touch my daughter;s body with your filthy hands! Stay away!" she hollered but before she could say further, George, who was talking to other nobles came towards them.

His eyes were still cold but his face was looking exhausted. It felt like he had gone old in a single day.

"Why are you making so much noise? Did you forget why we are collected here? Huh?

Come with me, the knights are telling you that they have found out who was the culprit behind the death of our daughter!"
