Chapter 181 The Truth Revealed

As Marley's accusations echoed through the room, Prudence remained stoic, her face betraying no emotion. "Nonsense," she said coldly. "Before Prunella died, she held my hand and told me to comfort Geoffrey. This was witnessed by many. How dare you slander me with such baseless lies? And if this is true, why did you wait until after her death to speak up? What do you intend to achieve? You and your intentions are obvious. If Natasha believes these deceitful words from a mere servant, it will truly disappoint me." Marley's teeth ground together in fury. "Back then, I had no idea. After Prunella's death, I was thrown out of the estate for not serving her well enough. By some twist of fate, I met Samara, who had already suspected you. She believed you were afraid of her investigation, so you had her dismissed. After Samara left the Duke's estate, she found Sean, and through a clever trap, she got him to reveal the truth. Samara and I learned everything. When Sean realized he had let something slip, he rushed to warn you, and you sent people to kill us both. We fled for our lives, barely escaping. Several times we should have died, but somehow, we survived. Surely, it was Prunella's spirit that protected us, ensuring we lived to come back and testify against you."
