Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 711

Chapter 711: 711-Planning A Proposal

Maximus:

Of course, Emmet came in like a hero. I should have known, he had planned the whole trip. He had taken everything into consideration. He had placed cameras near the edges of the decks so that he could monitor any unfortunate activity, or at least have evidence if something like this ever happened. And in this case, it worked.

"Wait, you pushed me?" Lamar stepped in, pointing at Lucy.

My eyes kept drifting toward Helanie. I knew she wasn’t very happy with us. We had all let her down, especially after she found out I had hidden the truth about Emmet from her. I could tell she wasn’t pleased. She didn’t complain again, but I knew she was still upset. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

I didn’t really have an excuse for myself, except that I couldn’t bring myself to say something like that about my brother. Even though I always argue with Emmet, it’s mostly one-sided. Because I want his attention. Because I want my brother to care. I want us to be close again.

But that doesn’t mean I would ever believe my brother became a murderer and killed a baby. There had to be something else affecting him that day. And I had already started my own research. I was beginning to uncover things that didn’t sit right with me.

"I mean, it was accidental," Lucy muttered, making all of us glare at her. She was such trouble now. I don’t know what happened to that sweet, innocent girl who first joined our academy. I guess when she fell, she hit her head so hard she became someone entirely different.

It was also strange that she and Gavin were ever mates. But now, Gavin just seemed broken. I could see it in his eyes, because I would feel the same. When my mate gets upset with me, it feels like my whole world starts to fall apart. So I could only imagine how he must be feeling.

"No, it wasn’t. She literally pushed me. I felt the pressure on my back," Lamar argued.

"Lucy, we’ve had enough of your nonsense." Norman stood up, slamming his hand on the table, startling everyone.

Well, I kind of knew my brother would be looking for ways to let his anger out. And now he had found one.

"You will no longer be a part of our academy," he yelled. It seemed like everyone else agreed, until Lucy started breaking down.

"I’m so sorry. I’m really sorry. I don’t know what’s going on with me. It’s been happening a lot—," she began to stammer, finally breaking down after being caught in a lie.

Not only had she pushed Lamar, an innocent person, into the water, she had also lied about Hans. So it felt premeditated. She did it just so she could accuse Hans. But why?

She had no beef with him, at least as far as I knew. I mean, I only knew what Helanie had told me, so there might be something more.

"What do you mean by ’it had been happening a lot’?" Norman asked.

I noticed Kaye had been unusually silent ever since Helanie accused our mother of some truly harsh things.

It was hard for her to believe that her mother wasn’t completely innocent. I mean, we loved Helanie. But we had also been there, watching our mother suffer. We never saw her retaliate. Not until now.

So we couldn’t be sure her mother was innocent either.
