Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 137

Chapter 137: _ Revelation II

"If so, why then did they kill Aella and her husband?" Asked Farkas suspiciously.

With lips trembling, "T-they warned us that if I didn’t work for them to lift the veil, they would kill Aella and her husband next."

"And didn’t you work for them and lift the veil?" Rhett frowned and asked.

Lowering her head like a kitten caught in the act, Cora winced. "I did. I am the one who has been lifting the veil all these times."

"And did you get Reed killed too? Since he was last seen with you." Rhett wanted to know.

Cora shot her head up with widened eyes. "No, no. That’s not me. I never did that. I and Reed wanted to go find Aella and the others. I needed to act along and go help him find them anyway, but when we parted ways and agreed to meet at a rendezvous, Reed never showed up. When I found him, he was with that little boy and acting weird too. He was dressed in black and covered in blood and wouldn’t explain. He left with that little wolf boy. That was the last I saw of him before..." She couldn’t finish as she buried her head in her hands in shame.

Liam affirmed that Reed was covered in blood. He also asserted that he wore strange clothing but Cora never said anything about returning to the woods and Liam made it clear that she did.

Who amongst them both was lying about that piece of information? It was clear that Cora was a liar, but was Liam one too?

Time to find out.

He turned to Aceco. "Aceco?" He called the Aceco who was now moving around the apartment, observing something Rhett couldn’t see.

"Aceco?"he addressed her again, "could you perhaps verify something for me?"

Aceco, with her brow arched inquisitively, turned to face him. "What troubles you, Gamma Rhett?"

"Cora’s statement about Reed," Rhett clarified. "Is there any truth to her claim that she didn’t know about what harmed him?"

Aceco surprised them all by shaking her head before even reaching for Cora. "There’s no deception there, Gamma Rhett. Cora speaks the truth about that."

Did Aceco just confirm Cora’s words? If Cora had spoken the truth, then didn’t that mean Liam was lying about that piece of information?

But why would the boy lie?

Such kind of false witnesses could cause confusion and put the fairies on the losing end. He remembered Liam telling him firmly that the fairies could kill and he heard Reed hurting a boy in the woods together with Cora.

Was that a lie?

That was too big a lie for a twelve-year-old. Why did he lie then?

Why?

Rhett’s chain of thoughts was broken when Farkas scoffed. "But you haven’t even touched her, Aceco. I thought you needed to touch and read the energy emitting from her."

Aceco’s silver eyes gleamed with amusement. "Touch isn’t necessary, General. A trained healer of my rank can sense the aura a person emits, the ambiance of truth and falsehood. And all this while, I’ve been focused on reading Cora’s essence. It was me who discovered her first lie, so when I say this isn’t a lie, trust me."

An uneasy silence descended upon the room. The revelation took moments to register. Cora was somewhere on the floor still racking with probably remorseful tears.

Rhett sighed. The very fairy who had initially exposed Cora’s lies was now vouching for her honesty on this specific point. Rhett, after a moment of consideration, nodded. "We believe you, Lady Aceco."

However, the boy being a twelve years old wasn’t helping too. Had it been an adult, investigating him would have been easier but it didn’t make sense for a twelve-year-old to be capable of these things he suspected him of.4 freewebnσvel.cѳm
