Chapter 339 Then let's disgust him a bit?
As he spoke, tears welled up instantly and rolled down his pale face.
His shoulders trembled as he cried, his voice filled with grievance.
Acosta frowned as he looked at Mien, but still said firmly, "I don't think Mien is that kind of bug. Even if he really pushed you, there must be other reasons..."
Michele: "..."
He really wants to punch Acosta's brains right now.
Even after he'd said all that, he was still defending Mien.
If he weren't still crying, he would have rolled his eyes right then and there.
But not now.
Michele sniffed before cautiously saying, "I... I think Lord Acosta might be right. Maybe... maybe it wasn't Mien's fault..."
He sobbed, cleverly changing the subject, "Is it possible that... yes, it's because he's under too much pressure being by Lord Yuriel's side? You know about all the rumors circulating outside."
Acosta: "..."
When Michele saw that Acosta didn't speak, he knew that what Acosta had just said had struck a chord with him.
Although he didn't know why Acosta firmly believed in Mien, he figured it wasn't impossible to convince him in a different way.
Michele coughed lightly, then continued, "Besides, Mien was always very well-behaved and sensible at home. It's impossible for him to push me into the water against his will. Maybe some other insect made him do it..."
As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Acosta.
Sure enough, the other person's brows furrowed even more after he said those words.
A hint of heartache for Mien's situation even flashed across his face.
Michele was so angry she almost laughed.
He's been playing the victim for ages, but he can't see that. Instead, he's feeling sorry for a bug that pushed him into the water.
“You’re right…” Acosta murmured, his tone softening considerably, “Uriel is a madman! It must have been him who tormented Mien, driving him to this state!”
Acosta seemed to have found a reason, and when he looked at Michele again, his eyes held a hint of apology. "Alright, stop crying. This really isn't your fault. Once I get Mien out of that hellhole, everything will be fine."
Save Mien?
Oh!
He eats well, drinks well, and uses the finest things.
Why would we need his help?
Michelle was so angry she felt like her insides were about to explode, and the fire of jealousy in her heart was raging.
He tried his best to maintain the fragile and grateful expression on his face, and was about to add fuel to the fire when Acosta suddenly changed his tune.
"By the way, Michele. Did you get any results on why Mien married Yuriel? Why exactly did Mien marry Yuriel?"
Michele's heart sank suddenly, almost stopping.
His instinct was to try and bluff, "I, I still..."
Acosta didn't give him a chance to fool him. "Still haven't found anything? Then forget it. I'll go to Ranetta myself to investigate."
"No, no!" Michele panicked instantly.
Let Acosta investigate!
He hurriedly said, "No, what I mean is, I've already found out, but I haven't found out why Mien was falsely reported to have died in battle by the insects."
Michele coughed a few times, her voice much weaker, "I haven't had a chance to tell you before, but now that you've asked, I'll naturally tell you everything I know."
Acosta's expression softened somewhat, but he still didn't say anything, simply waiting quietly for Michele to continue.
Michael's mind raced before he said, "It's my father. He heard from somewhere that the Graham family desperately needed female insects. You know the situation of our Lanetta family at the time. I guess he sent Mien over for the sake of the family's interests."
Acosta sneered. Was he giving it away? He was clearly selling it!
Who outside the family doesn't know how ferocious the patriarch of the Graham family is?
What's the difference between handing over a female insect to him and sending her to her death?
Michael lowered his eyes, not daring to look at Acosta, his voice choked with sobs, "Back then, I thought Mien had really died in battle, so I didn't know that he had actually been sent to the Graham family by my father. I... it was my fault..."
As he spoke, his eyes welled up with tears again, "If, if I had known earlier that my father had this plan, I would have stopped him even if it meant my death!"
Michele silently wiped away her tears, determined that Acosta must never know that he had secretly orchestrated this.
Otherwise, Acosta would definitely hate him to death!
As Michelle thought this, she immediately began to sob, her tears flowing like a burst dam.
He cried so hard he was almost breathless, “Mien must have suffered so much at the Graham’s house, it’s all my fault! I was so sad back then, sob sob sob…”
Acosta stared at him for a long time, then finally let out a complex sigh.
He reached out and gently tapped the medical pod.
"Alright, it's not your fault. You're a female insect, and you can't stop the Lanetta family head from making decisions."
He looked at Michelle helplessly and comforted her, word by word, "Alright, don't overthink it. Just focus on getting better."
Things have already turned out this way, and there's no point in dwelling on the past.
The good news is that Mien didn't marry Yuriel willingly, which makes things easier.
If he can help Mien leave Yuriel and then marry him and treat him well, it will fulfill his childhood dream.
As Acosta pondered these thoughts, he was completely unaware that Michele, lying in the medical pod, concealed a heart full of coldness and resentment beneath her calm exterior.
Meanwhile, the lights in the military headquarters offices remained on.
Hines never expected that the male insect named Roronoa would have such a tough bone.
More than a dozen of his men took turns trying to get him to talk, but none of them could get him to talk.
His face naturally looked extremely pale.
Eli's situation wasn't much better than Haynes'.
They already knew who the insect was that was going to attack them, but they had absolutely no evidence to prove it.
Eli now has to admit that Michele, this sub-female, is indeed strange.
He had already made the matter a done deal, yet Michele still managed to find a way out.
He unconsciously glanced at Tan Chi, who was sitting to the side intently feeding his wife, and coughed lightly, "A-Chi, do you have any other ideas?"
Tan Chi paused in his feeding, about to speak, when he suddenly felt his clothes being secretly tugged by an insect.
He had just turned around when he heard Letkar speak first, "Since Roronoa won't listen to either soft or hard tactics, why not try to annoy him?"
Now, not only Tan Chi, but even the two insects, Hines and Eli, couldn't help but look at Letekar.
