The Rise Of The Unwanted Girl (Athena) novel Chapter 571

Chapter 571

Two days later, the matter finally settled.

Eloise admitted to framing Kurtis and even hiring a killer to cover up her crimes.

The case went straight to Arthur. With all witnesses and evidence in hand, Leonard was sentenced to death, his execution set for autumn.

Yet before his sentence could be carried out, Leonard committed suicide by smashing his head against the cell wall.

As for Eloise, she also received the death sentence.

Framing a revered general was a capital offense. No pleas for leniency would be entertained.

The sudden reversal in Kurtis’s conviction took everyone by surprise.

It immediately caused quite a stir.

Athena couldn’t comprehend why Leonard had killed himself before the verdict was even delivered.

‘Why did he have to die at this critical moment? What was he trying to hide?‘ Athena wondered.

It seemed that only Eloise knew the rest of the matter.

When Athena arrived, she found Eloise huddled in the corner, staring vacantly at the ceiling.

Back in her days of wealth and privilege, Eloise was particular about her clothes and jewelry. Even the slightest discomfort in the fabric would have h complaining nonstop.

E

Yet now, she wore nothing but the coarse garments of a condemned prisoner, awaiting her execution.

It was a cruel twist of fate.

The sound of footsteps snapped Eloise back to her senses. Her face lit up as she looked eagerly toward the cell door and cried out, “Willow, is that you? Willow?”

Eloise rushed to the bars, but the moment she saw who stood outside her cell, her smile froze.

“What are you doing here?” Eloise spat, her voice dripping with disdain.

Instead of Willow, the one she’d been longing to see, it was Athiena who appeared.

Athena couldn’t miss the disappointment flashing in Eloise’s eyes as jailer unlocked the cell door to let her in.

Trina followed closely behind Athena, carrying a food container,

Once inside, Trina carefully unpacked the food hamper, arranging each dish on the table.

Eloise fixed Athena with a look of pure hatred. “What are you doing here? Come to gloat over my downfall?“.

People said that a dying person’s words would be kind.

But Athena saw no trace of kindness in Eloise–only pure, unadulterated hatred.

She finally dropped the act. This was the real Eloise, not the one who would put on that pitiful act and feignaincenty,

Athena glanced around the cell. All she saw was straw covering the floor. There was not even a blanket or bedding in sight,

Athena let out a bitter chuckle. “I just don’t understand. Why do you hate me so much? If you never wanted me, why did you bother giving birth to me in the first place?”
