Chapter 44
The audio was being played over and over again, with Harper’s voice saying:
“…I want you to accuse Alpha Casper of raping you…and nobody will take his pack seriously…”
Most people had recognized Harper’s voice.
They exchanged mystified looks with each other with the same question in their heart:
Why was Harper playing an audio of herself?
And who was she talking to in this audio?
Harper widened her eyes in fear and shock, her lips twitching slightly.
Then she cried out abruptly, “No! Wait a second! This isn’t the footage that I wanted to play! Wrong footage! Somebody pauses it right now!”
Janet took out a remote from her pocket and pressed a button, pausing the audio.
“Do you recognize your own voice, Harper?” Janet smiled.
Seeing the remote in Janet’s hand, Harper gritted out in anger and disbelief, “You–It was you! You arranged to have my footage swapped!”
She turned to grab Daran’s hand hastily and shook it, “Alpha, you must help me! Ask Janet to delete her audio! And play mine instead!”
Yet Janet spoke up before Daran did, “Wait a second. Let’s talk about this audio first.
Do you remember whom you were talking to in the audio?”
Harper shivered. Then she gradually turned to Amy, who had hit behind Balvina’s back already.
“YOU!”
Harper pointed a finger at Amy and yelled, “You bitch–you betrayed me!”
Amy didn’t even dare to look up at Harper. But she finally understood Janet’s plan by
this point.
The ear bug Janet gave her the other day recorded all of their conversation. Janet knew that Harper would take this party as a chance to publicly accuse Casper of raping. So Janet waited Harper to attack them first and then lured Harper to set the penalty herself.
Now everyone in the venue had heard what Harper just said about being willing to gét expelled a moment ago.
Daran couldn’t even protect her if Harper’s words were proven false even if he wanted to! This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
What a brilliant trick!
“Amy didn’t betray you,” Balvina let out a sneer and said, “She simply chose the right side because she couldn’t stand you slandering Alpha Casper like that.”
“No! I swear! It is not slandering–”
Harper cried in panic.
I only said those things because Amy told me about the raping first. I simply told her to expose Alpha Casper here at the party. I did want his reputation to stink! But he is a goddamn rapist so
what is wrong with that?”
The crowd’s attitude started to swing again.
Gamma Jeff from Black Water Pack stepped out from the crowd and said to Janet, “Gamma Janet, you can’t prove anything with this short audio. Because Miss Harper didn’t say anything about wanting to slander Alpha Casper. She simply asked her maid to make that accusation. She might be using her maid to get back at you, but that is an ethical problem, not a legal one.”
Many people nodded in agreement.
Janet replied to Jeff with a smile, “So do you want to hear the full version of this audio?”
Jeff looked stunned, “…There is a full version?”
“Of course.”
Janet shrugged and glanced at Daran, who had a dark look on his face.
“I didn’t play it at first because I wanted to give Harper a chance to admit her own fault. But if she refuses to do so…Well, I guess that there is no use holding it back anymore.”
With that said, Janet took out the remote again.
“NO-”
Harper let out a sharp cry abruptly and rushed at Janet to stop her.
But Janet had already pressed the play button.
“…I know that Alpha Casper is not that into Janet. Amy, you should keep sleeping with him!”
That was Harper’s mother Hellen’s voice.
Harper spoke up right after Hellen, “…No mother. Just make Casper forget about Janet is so not enough…Amy, I want you to accuse Alpha Casper of raping you in front of everyone!”
There was an upsurge of noise! Everyone gasped together!
It was certain now–without doubt–that Harper arranged her own maid to seduce Alpha Casper before asking the same maid to accuse Casper of raping!
What a vicious woman!
Harper cried frantically and tried to snatch Janet’s remote. But she was stopped by Blood Moon Pack’s soldiers.
And the audio was still playing in the background with Harper saying in a venomous voice:
“-His reputation will stink, and nobody will take his pack seriously. And we have the proofs. Amy did sleep with him. If she says that it is rape, how can Casper deny it?”
“And just to be clear-
Casper raised his voice saying, “-I didn’t sleep with Amy. We simply let Harper believed that I did.”
People were all busying discussing this sudden turn of event.
Gamma Jeff shook his head in disbelief and said, “This is truly astonishing…Hey maid! Did Miss Harper really ask you to seduce Alpha Casper?”
Balvina gave Amy a small nudge. Amy staggered forward and finally spoke up in a quivering voice:
11
“…Yes. And she also asked me to lie about the raping because she hated Gamma Janet and Alpha Casper so much-”
“LIAR!”
Harper snapped her head up and screamed at the top of her lung. Her hair was messy, and her gown was crumpled. She didn’t look like a lady anymore, more like a lunatic.
“You–Liar-”
She pointed at Amy and shrieked, “How did they buy you off? You have been bought! That must be it!”
“They didn’t buy me!” Amy clenched her fists and cried shakily, “I–I did work for Miss Harper at first. But Gamma Janet helped me realize what a terrible person Harper is! Miss Harper had never cared about the lives of the poor and weak as she said. Instead, she bullied and tortured us maids severely! One of her maids was once charged with a crime she didn’t do and got chased out of Riverside Pack with her claws chopped off and her forehead tattooed!”
“YOU FU CKING, CRAZY, BITCH!”
Harper roared frantically.
Her crazy appearance made everyone present–including her former admirers–frowned with disgust.
“I didn’t—I didn’t!”
Harper murmured hysterically before throwing herself at Daran and cried:
“Daran, my love, you know that they are smearing me, don’t you? You know about that maid–she tried to steal your room key! That punishment served her justly!”
Daran looked down at Harper with an expressionless face.
“Yes, I remember that maid,” he said.
Yet before Harper could let out a relieved laugh, Daran added to that, “But I only sentenced her to eviction. I never asked to have her wolf claws chopped off and her forehead tattooed!”
He narrowed his eyes at Harper’s panic face and asked, “Did you go behind my back and give that order?”
Harper froze.
Then she blurted, “O–Of course not! M–Maybe I remembered it wrong. Amy also remembered it wrong! Yes, that maid only got expelled-”
“Another lie?”
Janet sneered.
“Harper, you are really digging your own grave. I guess only by bring the witness to you will make you admit to all of your crimes.”
Janet clapped her hand and cried loudly, “Let’s bring the witness in!”
Everyone turned to look at the front gate.
Harper also jerked around shockingly, her face tear–stained and her body trembling.
Through the front door came in two Blood Moon soldiers. Behind their back was a young woman. She had a pretty face, but her face was disfigured by an ugly tattoo on her forehead, which read “THIEF.”
She was also armless.
Both of her wolf claws were chopped off!
