I glared at Joanna and said, “You said you were helping him. If you really wanted to help him, why would you be with the people who sold the she-wolves? You want to use this opportunity to get rid of me. All of your actions were out of selfishness, and you’re only pretending to think that it’s more effective this way. However, from the moment you wanted to sell me out and even tried to kill me to separate me from Michael, you should’ve known that no one would believe you anymore.”

There was a dejected expression on Joanna’s face. She understood the art of retreating to advance.

She thought that by doing this, people would think she had her difficulties. She always made this pitiful face in exchange for sympathy and pity.

“Your accomplices have already confessed. It’s not that we don’t have evidence. Do you really think you can hide everything with your acting?” I continued.

Joanna’s eyes were not on me. Instead, she was looking at Michael. She whispered, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe me. Send me to the werewolf court, and we’ll know who lies. If the truth comes to light one day, I’ll ask you to apologize to me.”

Sometimes, I really admired Joanna’s stubborn tone.

She refused to give up her story even at a time like this, even though we all knew it was fake.

“Sigh, Joanna.” Michael sighed, “I didn’t want to be so harsh, but you still refuse to admit your mistake. When you return, you will not only be charged with trying to kill my mate and participating in the sale of the she-wolves, but Samuel also reported to me that you killed a human girl before.

“The relevant personnel have already gone to collect evidence. I think there will be an investigation result when we return. If your excuses are valid, go to the werewolf court.”

…..

Joanna’s eyes widened. Tonight was the first time I saw her lose her calm. This made me feel extremely happy.

Her fear finally eased the anger I had suppressed for a long time. Her gem-like blue eyes lost all color, and she became flustered and afraid, just like the prisoners we passed by.

“No, that’s not it,” Joanna mumbled in a low voice. Then, her voice suddenly became louder, so sharp that it was almost manic. “I didn’t do it. I didn’t kill anyone.”

Michael looked down at her and coldly said, “Maybe you can ask your father to find you a good lawyer. That might be of some use.”

“Let’s go.” Michael put his arm around me.

I hesitated for a moment before pushing Michael’s hand away. “You go interrogate the people over there. I’ll stay here for a while.”

Michael looked into my eyes for a while and then reluctantly compromised, “Be quick.”

I watched as Michael’s figure disappeared around the corner of the corridor, and then I turned to Joanna again.

She looked at me warily, and the innocent look on her face quickly disappeared. I admired Joanna’s ability to turn her back on me. She might become a big star in the entertainment industry. It was a waste of her talent to only show off her talent to me.

I reached out to touch the iron door that locked her and was surprised to find that it was also fused with wolf poison. I suddenly understood why Joanna would stay here obediently.

Although the wolf poison was not fatal to the royal Lycans, it still had a certain restriction.

After wolf poison was integrated into the metal, it could significantly enhance the hardness and toughness of the metal. The weak Joanna could not escape from here, and those stray werewolves in cahoots with her could not come to save her either because when they touched this metal, their skin would be burned, and they would never recover.

“What? Do you still want to open this door and beat me like that day?” Joanna mocked.

“I didn’t want to hit you,” I calmly said.

Joanna looked at me provocatively.

“if I can do it, I will kill you immediately.”

Joanna was shocked by what I said. Then, a smile slowly appeared on her face. “I thought Michael’s mate would be a moral character, but she’s just a hypocritical madman. You’re so arrogant now. Why didn’t you say it more in front of Michael when he was here?”

As she spoke, Joanna spat.

I stepped to the side and felt that everything she did in front of me was as ridiculous as a clown.

She was provoked by Michael’s words just now, and what I wanted to do was to add fire to it. I did want to kill her before, but compared to the mental and physical torture she had brought me these days, I now feel that this was too easy on her.

I wanted to destroy her psychological defenses and make her accept the judgment. She would lose everything she had and live in despair and pain every day in the future.
