Perfect Husband, The Destined One novel Chapter 3101

Jethro had interrogated the dignified South Cloud World Empress so openly before so many people. How could she carry herself with dignity in public after such humiliation?

What made it worse was that Jethro had accused the Empress of having sexual intercourse with an unruly man.

That was intolerable!

Jethro faced the Empress' wrath calmly; he remained impassive.

The hundreds of civil and military officials in the hall held their breath in trepidation.

On one side was the Empress, while the other side was King Jannan, who was in control of the military. Neither of those two people were individuals that one should trifle with.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire secret chamber seemed extremely solemn and gloomy.

"Jethro!"

Suddenly, Quincy—who sat next to Jethro—could no longer keep her emotions in check. She shouted at Jethro, "You are so bold! How dare you speak to Her Majesty like this? Are you plotting a rebellion?"

The truth had left Quincy in great dismay, but she and the Empress were as close as sisters, and they adored each other. Even if the Empress made a mistake, Quincy would offer her full support and never let the other people bully her beloved sister.

Huh!

Jethro merely gave an insouciant grunt in response to Quincy's rebuke. He pulled a mocking and disdainful face. "Quincy, don't accuse me of such an atrocity! Your sister seduced a man and is pregnant with an illegitimate child. She is a disgrace to the royal family. I must get to the bottom of this!"

Then, Jethro took a deep breath. He was too lazy to engage further in small talks. He turned to the Empress and asked, "There had better be a good explanation as to what had happened today!"

He spoke in an upright tone, offering no room for rebuttal.

"You—"

Quincy was upset, but she did not know how to refute Jethro. After all, it was a fact that the Empress was pregnant.

Then, Jethro's eyes flickered menacingly. He asked the Empress, "I'll ask you again, who is that unruly man?"

The Empress was so upset that she yelled, "Jethro, don't find fault with me! I am innocent, and there is no unruly man."

"Well!"

Jethro sneered and said coldly, "If that's the case, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. As the Empress of the South Cloud World, you're now pregnant with an illegitimate child. You're a disgrace to the royal family. It seems like I'll have to send you to prison for proper interrogation and investigation!"

Then, Jethro glanced around the hall and announced in a rich icy tone, "I, Jethro, as King Jannan, declare that the shameless Empress had a relationship with an unruly man and is now pregnant with an illegitimate child. She has insulted the late Emperor's trust and humiliated the royal family. Those of you who had served the late Emperor so faithfully should stand with me to fix this royal scandal and get to the bottom of this investigation."

Buzz!

Jethro finished his sentence and released a powerful breath of aura that disseminated across the audience.
