The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 433

Chapter 433

Nicolas stared at Athena in disbelief, his teeth clenched tightly. So this was his “good sister.”

He had still been thinking of familial bonds, willing to let her off the hook. But she’d turn around and bite back at him.

‘Alright. Just great. Nicolas seethed.

Nicolas was so furious he no longer wanted to speak to Athena. He simply glared at her as if trying to bore holes into her with his eyes.

Seeing the tension between the two, Radnor stepped forward to mediate. “Since the child is still ill, in this official’s humble opinion, treating the illness should come first. Everything else can wait, haha…”

Nicolas scoffed coldly. “My son is burning with fever and still unconscious. The household physician says his life is in danger. How could I possibly let her off so easily?”

Athena sneered. “How peculiar the heir’s priorities are. Your son is gravely ill, yet instead of calling a royal physician, you’re here accusing me of wrongdoing?

She paused before continuing, “Or is it that you already knew he would fall this ill, and you came here ahead of time just to cause me trouble?”

Athena’s words left Nicolas speechless. Before he could retort, Athena turned to Radnor and said, “Your Honor, please allow the imperial physician to visit duke’s estate to examine Cedric and determine the cause of his condition.”

Radnor had been thinking the same. They needed evidence. He couldn’t just rely on Nicolas’s word and convict Athena.

Nicolas scoffed coldly, exuding absolute confidence. “You really won’t admit fault. I only asked for an apology, but you insisted on escalating things. Since you’re so convinced your prescription is harmless, I’ll make sure you see the truth with your own eyes.”

Seeing that Nicolas agreed, Radnor ordered someone to take his official token and summon a royal physician from the palace.

He then followed Athena and Nicolas to the duke’s estate.

Nicolas, still nursing his injuries, moved slowly.

Just as Nicolas stepped out of the gates, a servant came running straight toward him, panting and drenched in sweat. “My lord! Bad news, my lord…”

Recognizing him as a servant from the Osborne family, Nicolas asked in a grave voice, “What happened?”

“Lord Osborne, he’s been taken away!” The servant stammered. He flushed with panic and stamped his feet in agitation. “The old Marquis sent me to summon you to the manor right away to discuss what to do.”

Just yesterday, they’d nearly had his new bride hauled off, and now the groom himself had landed in jail.

He glanced cautiously at Athena but saw her calm and collected, as if it had nothing to do with her.
