Chapter 431 Ambition

Chapter 431 Ambition

Raven chuckled at John’s self–righteous remarks. “John, are you seriously saying that you so–called ‘renowned doctors‘ couldn’t even determine whether I cured Helena back then? If that’s the case, maybe you should all just quit. Save your countries the embarrassment.”

The moment Raven’s words landed, John and the surrounding doctors‘ faces darkened even further.

John locked his gaze on Raven, his eyes so cold and heavy that it felt like the air itself could freeze.

But then, recalling the report his subordinate had just delivered, a smirk tugged at his lips. “Whether we stay in this profession isn’t for a killer quack like you to decide.

“Helena Rickard’s most trusted aide is already here. If you value your life, you’d better fulfill your promise–kneel, apologize to these doctors, and swear to leave the medical field forever!

“Otherwise, I can’t guarantee if Lunshire decides to make you their sworn enemy.”

The surrounding doctors immediately chimed in, their voices rising in unison. “Kneel, apologize, and get out of the medical field!”

As the doctors‘ taunts echoed around her, Raven’s expression grew visibly colder with each passing second.

Raven was just about to deal with those fools when a sudden commotion erupted near the villa’s entrance.

Henry entered, dressed in a sharp black suit with a white flower pinned to his collar. His expression was heavy, his presence commanding.

Trailing behind him were eight men, moving in sync as they carried a crystal coffin into the banquet hall.

Raven’s gaze swept over the coffin’s occupant, and she instantly recognized Helena, the head of Lunshire.

She had heard rumors of Helena’s death but hadn’t fully believed them. Now, faced with the undeniable truth, she realized Helena was truly gone.

“They’re from Lunshire!” Gasps and murmurs spread through the banquet hall as the guests noticed the Lunshire insignia on the collars of the coffin bearers.

“Why would they bring a coffin here?” someone whispered, their voice trembling.

“Could it be… the person inside is the head of Lunshire?” another voice speculated, barely audible.

Most of the crowd had never seen Helena in person, but the sight of the coffin, combined with John’s earlier remarks, left little room for doubt. The woman inside had to be Helena.

As the realization dawned on them, the crowd instinctively stepped back, clearing a space for the Lunshire members to proceed.

Henry and the members of Lunshire carried the crystal coffin to Raven’s feet.

The admiration that once filled his gaze was gone, replaced by bone–chilling hatred. “Raven, if you couldn’t save her, why did you even try? You ended up killing her!”

His fists clenched so tightly his knuckles turned pale, his entire posture radiating the threat of violence.

But when he had encountered Raven in Vyrdenia, Hiemaly had been by her side, fiercely protective of her.

Unless absolutely necessary, he didn’t want to risk injuring or killing Raven and turning the Hiemal Court into an enemy.

Still, as the acting master of Lunshire, he had to demand an explanation for Helena’s death.

Raven’s gaze lingered on Helena’s lifeless form encased in the crystal coffin for a few seconds.

Then, she slowly lifted her head.

Her fathomless eyes locked onto Henry, and her voice, though calm, carried a chilling edge. “Henry, did you kill Helena just to frame me?”

She had seen through his ambition long ago, back when he confessed his feelings and asked her to But she hadn’t expected his audacity to extend to poisoning Helena.

his girlfriend.

“What nonsense are you spouting?” Henry’s handsome face twisted with rage as he snapped, “You botched Ms. Rickard and killed her! The evidence is right here, and now wat reden tar the? Do you think you can push Lunshire around?” Successfully unlocked!

Raven slowly revealed a faint smile, though the …….. ——-.ed. “Tell me, Henry, if Helena knew that she was betrayed by the one she trusted most, do you think she’d let you off?”

Henry’s face froze at those words, his expression stiffening as he tried to hide his shock.
