Chapter 1335: Not Only Beautiful but Also Powerful
Among those present, the one most devastated by this turn of events, aside from Pearl, was Libby.
She had sacrificed so much, even marrying the repulsive Lord Crete Parker, all for the sake of this moment of triumph.
She had painstakingly courted Natalia, schemed against Pearl, and dismantled Declan’s power…
Success seemed within her grasp, but it all turned out to be an illusion, vanishing in an instant.
As Declan’s “right-hand woman,” her hands were stained with countless blood.
The net of justice was vast and unyielding; those who committed evil would eventually face retribution.
“Take Miss Cunningham away and keep her under strict guard!” commanded Duke Peberdy. Two tall soldiers behind him immediately approached.
They moved to apprehend Libby from both sides.
But Libby, known as the “yakkha,” was not one to surrender easily.
Just as one of the men was about to touch her, she gripped a dagger and turned to stab his hand.
“Ah!”
A scream erupted as blood gushed from the man’s palm.
Libby stood coldly, her slanted eyes filled with hatred as she glared at everyone present.
“Don’t touch me!”
“I am not wrong! The one at fault is Declan, that old thief who killed my parents and left me an orphan!”
“He treated me like a pawn, a tool for killing. Everything I did today was not just for myself but also a favor to you all!”
“So why arrest me? If anyone should be arrested, it should be Pearl, the devil’s child, and Natalia… Declan’s beloved woman!”
According to her logic, they should be grateful she disrupted the wedding and cornered Declan today?
Cheyenne couldn’t help but retort, “In my twenty-five years, I’ve never seen someone as shameless as you!”
“Even if you were under orders, the innocent lives lost by your hand are real!”
“Let’s not talk about distant matters; you plotted the death of Esteban’s mother, Miss Pearl’s friend Ruth, hired assassins… each crime is enough for you to die ten times over!”
So why wasn’t Pearl, Declan’s biological daughter, arrested by the law?
Because she committed no crime.
“The law is fair; it will not let any wrongdoer go unpunished nor wrong any innocent person!” Cheyenne’s firm words fell on Libby’s disdainful laughter.
“Innocent? What is innocent? Is Pearl innocent? That’s laughable.”
“She stole my godfather’s love, took Sam away from me. Ruth and Giana died because of her!”
However, these were moral accusations based on emotions. In terms of cause and effect, Pearl did nothing wrong.
Time was precious; Cheyenne didn’t want to waste it arguing with her. She ordered her men to prepare to re-arrest Libby.
“Stop making excuses. Even without Pearl, your crimes are enough for a sentence!”
“I won’t surrender! Even in death, I’ll take someone down with me!”
Actually, the person she most wanted to take down was Pearl, but given Pearl’s current state, it was as if she were already dead.
As for Sam… she couldn’t defeat him.
Natalia had gone mad; letting her live was the real punishment. Death would be too easy!
The closest people to her were Princess Sierra and Cheyenne. The former had no enmity with her; the latter had Kelvin’s protection.
She decided to make a desperate move before dying.
In a split second, Libby turned her attack towards the unprepared Cheyenne.
Cheyenne’s mind was entirely focused on Pearl and the urgent need for surgery.
Caught off guard, she found Libby lunging at her.
“Killing you will cut off Pearl’s last hope!”
The sudden change caught everyone off guard. Even Libby thought Cheyenne was doomed…
Who knew that the seemingly delicate and beautiful Miss Lawrence was actually a hidden expert?
As Libby aimed for mutual destruction, Cheyenne suddenly dodged her attack and grabbed her wrist in a counter-move.
With a solid over-the-shoulder throw, she slammed Libby to the ground.
The metal clanged as it hit the floor, signaling Libby’s defeat.
The situation reversed; Cheyenne had defeated her opponent!
Her elegant high heels pressed lightly on Libby’s chest. Looking up, her moist almond eyes showed a hint of anger.
She was already beautiful; when angry, she was both stunning and fierce, an irresistible combination of coolness and allure.
Those who had admired her beauty were now even more captivated.
[So the fairy is not only beautiful but also talented in both medicine and martial arts.]
“How does it feel to be a loser under someone’s foot?”
“You! You know martial arts?”
Libby’s investigation clearly stated that Cheyenne knew no martial arts and was just an outstanding doctor.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Can all investigation information be trusted?
“Foolish.”
“This isn’t martial arts; it’s self-defense my husband taught me in my spare time.”
Three moves: side kick, over-the-shoulder throw, throat lock.
Libby listened in disbelief, glaring fiercely at Cheyenne and shouting.
“Is that all? I refuse to accept this; I underestimated you.”
“If you have guts, let me go. Let’s fight one-on-one!”
Hearing this, Cheyenne snorted coldly and replied dismissively, “If you don’t accept it, tough luck. Who has time to waste on you?”
“Take Libby away.”
She represented Chulae’s stance. At her command, someone immediately stepped forward to apprehend Libby.
“Hahaha, Pearl, you’re really lucky. First Declan and Sam, now Cheyenne… Why? Why do I have nothing?”
Clearly, she excelled in every aspect compared to Pearl.
Libby’s maniacal laughter revealed her inner desolation and resentment. Someone like her alive would always be a great threat.
Cheyenne considered giving her some medicine to kill her quietly in prison.
Kelvin rushed over at this moment. He anxiously embraced Cheyenne, his deep-set eyes scanning her up and down.
“Cheyenne, are you alright?”
His concern made Cheyenne feel very happy. She shook her head.
“I’m fine; it’s Libby who has problems.”
What awaited Libby next would be the harshest judgment.
