Chapter 282 Better Him than Her

‘Callie, calm down,’ Wendy said. ‘I’m sure he only wants what’s best for—’

‘He is a b*stard!’ Callie cried out breathlessly. ‘Did he think that keeping me in the dark is best for me?’

Wendy handed her a tissue. ‘I don’t like it, either, but I can understand where he’s coming from.’

‘Where is the evidence?’ Callie wiped her eyes. ‘What evidence does General Conway have to prove Elias is guilty of treason?’

‘I don’t have all the details, but Lemuel said they found weapons at one of Shadowfire’s hideouts. Weapons made by Engalia.’

‘That doesn’t prove Elias was the one who sold the weapons to them.’

‘I know, but there’s something else, something more…d*mning.’

‘What is it?’

Wendy lowered her eyes. ‘A confession.’

‘What?’

‘General Conway has a confession, signed by Elias. It stated that he admitted to having colluded with Inga from Shadowfire and that he had done harm against the country.’

‘How’s that possible?’ Callie was incredulous.

Elias would never have signed something so ridiculous.
