The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 432

Chapter 432

“What?” Marquita shot to her feet, furious. “Does the Monson family have no conscience? If it weren’t for you treating Lord Cedric, would his health have improved at all?”

She added, “A condition like his takes at least a year or two to properly manage. This is betrayal at its worst!”

Marquita was livid, nearly cursing them outright.

Athena hadn’t expected the Monson family to stoop so low.

She had agreed to treat Cedric precisely because she feared they might pull a stunt like this. She had guarded against everything, yet still fell into their trap.

But now that things had happened, she couldn’t just sit and wait.

She was confident her medicine had no issue, so the problem must lie with the Monson family.

Thinking of Willow’s case, she suddenly understood the Monson family’s motive.

They were warning her to stop pursuing the investigation. They were scared and guilty. And the more they acted like this, the more determined Athena became.

The official from the Ministry was the same as before, Radnor. When he saw Athena, he felt uneasy.

The Monson family’s sudden accusation clearly reeked of foul play.

But since an official complaint had been filed, he had to follow procedure.

Radnor said, “My apologies, Viscountess. I must trouble you to accompany this official to the Justice Ministry.”

Athena didn’t make a fuss. She asked with a smile, “What did the Monson family accuse me of?”

Radnor replied, “They say you prescribed the wrong medicine, causing the young master’s condition to worsen. He’s now critically ill.”

Radnor sighed helplessly. “The boy is in serious condition. Please accompany me so we can conduct an inquiry.”

Athena had the same idea. She needed to see Cedric with her own eyes to determine whether this was genuine deterioration or a deliberate act of sabotage.

After all, the Monson family had done worse before.

If only she hadn’t pushed things so far, he wouldn’t have resorted to this.

Athena noticed the false pity in his gaze and sneered inwardly. “Such a heartless heir of the house. I saved your son, and you drag me to court. If I’d known this would happen, I’d never have helped him.”
