Chapter 462
“The mastermind?”
Everyone’s gaze fell on the beautiful lady when they heard that. Had he said that at any other time,
none of them would have believed him. In fact, they might even have brushed it off as a lie. But after
everything that had happened, they had no choice but to consider his words seriously. After all, they
had just witnessed a corpse moving around with such vitality. At this point, nothing seemed impossible
anymore.
“Hey, miracle doctor, I haven’t crossed you before this, have I? Why are you setting me up?” The
beautiful lady frowned with a troubled expression.
“Dustin, you better not be accusing others without solid proof!” Hector warned him gravely. His brother
had just experienced the pain of losing his son, and now, his wife was accused of being the perpetrator.
This was no doubt rubbing salt in his wound.
“That’s right! What proof have you got to claim that our sister–in–law has anything to do with this?”
Jacob demanded loudly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I must have a certain level of confidence to accuse someone of something so severe.” Dustin gazed
pointedly at the woman and said, “Quentin’s body has a unique scent on it. And she has the same
smell on her, only much stronger. If you don’t believe me, go ahead and catch a whiff.”
A few of the ladies who stood close to the woman went closer and sniffed the air around her.
Immediately.
they nodded. “He’s right! She does have a special scent on her, and it’s the same scent on Quentin’s
body!”
Everyone’s expression changed when they heard that, and their look on the woman turned wary.
“I’ve always been using fragrances that I formulate myself, and Quentin’s my son! What’s so strange
about my scent rubbing off on him?” She tried her best to explain the situation.
“The scent is just a point of suspicion. It isn’t solid evidence, and it doesn’t prove anything.” Hector
shook his head. It didn’t make sense to pin the blame on someone based on a scent.
“Of course, that isn’t all.” Dustin approached the woman and circled her as he continued, “People who
are well- versed in the mystic arts usually have something different about them because they feed the
venomous insects that they breed with their blood. With time, some changes will happen to their body.”
“What changes?” Hector probed.
“Ordinary people have crimson red blood, but people who practice the mystic arts will have blood which
is black and acutely poisonous. All you need to do now is to check her blood, and the truth shall be
uncovered.” Dustin stated nonchalantly.
*Nonsense!” The woman shouted. “What do you mean you’re going to check my blood? That’s
ridiculous!”
“Celeste, it’d be best to run a test to prove your innocence,” Hector persuaded.
“What? Do you really believe the rubbish he said?‘ Celeste asked, feeling wronged.
“This is a grave matter, Celeste. You should cooperate with us on this,” Jacob echoed.

Chapter 46
“Honey, they’re joining hands and putting me in a difficult position! Are you just going to watch as they
treat me like this?” With tears in her eyes, Celeste turned to Trent for help.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Jacob! Hector! I’m your elder brother! Are you not going to show me any respect? Trent roared. His
son had just passed away, and now, they were turning on his wife. Of course he couldn’t take it.
“Trent! You’ve got to see the big picture here!” Hector said seriously. “If Celeste is innocent, I’ll make a
public apology!”
“That’s right. Trent. This is a matter that affects the future of our family. We can’t risk it! Everyone can
be at ease once we just run a quick test on her blood.” Jacob coaxed.
“Fine! From the looks of it, you’ve all been brainwashed by this rascal!” Trent spat through clenched
jaws. Then, he furiously said. “Alright! If you insist on running a test on Celeste’s blood, then fine, we’ll
do it. But if my wife turns out to be innocent. I’ll cut this brat’s tongue off!”
“Sure,” Dustin agreed.
“Honey, you know that the sight of blood makes me faint.” The woman shrunk back with a scared look.
“Don’t worry. It’ll be over before you know it. Once we prove your innocence, I’ll make sure he pays!”
Trent said confidently.
“Check her blood.” With a wave of Hector’s hand, two women swiftly came forward and proceeded to
take a blood sample from Celeste.
But right before they managed to do so, she sighed regrettably. “I never thought that I’d be exposed so
soon! What a waste of my excellent acting skills.”
“What?” Trent, who stood by the side, was caught off guard.
