No wonder he liked her at first sight, no wonder he wanted to get close to her—that's his and Ruyue's child!
Compared to Prince Ross's excitement, Tong Su remained calm and rational. She simply nodded to him politely and then said to Yang's mother, "Mother, everyone is here tonight, so why don't you tell us the truth about what happened back then?"
The people in the hall suddenly started arguing again.
Yes, yes, we can watch Prince Ross recognizing his daughter anytime, but right now, the most important thing should be watching Princess Nancy!
Everyone perked up their ears and listened quietly.
Yang's mother nodded, her voice still low and soft, and people couldn't help but hold their breath.
"Nineteen years ago, Ross and I were still together. Ross had just received the news that he was going to be made a prince, and before I could even rejoice, my parents, brothers, and relatives suddenly disappeared. Someone delivered a letter telling me that if I wanted them to live, I had to go to a certain place and meet someone..."
Listening to the gentle narration, amidst the cacophony of voices, Nancy stood stiffly in place, her face gradually turning deathly pale, as if all her energy had been drained away, like a lifeless sculpture.
“...Miss Milne’s people said that this was approved by Ross, that he was made a prince, and that I was no longer worthy of him. I was too cowardly, and after being in great pain, all I could think of was escaping...I thought that if we broke up, my family would be safe, but we were on the ship that was leaving when it crashed.”
The spacecraft crashed.
Four calm words, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, sent a shiver down Nancy's spine!
Everyone around her turned to look at her.
"The spaceship crashed! I remember that plane crash! Only three or five escape pods managed to get out, but the entire crew of a thousand people perished tragically!"
"Didn't rumors circulate later that the spaceship had been tampered with, causing it to disintegrate during its journey?"
"Could the Milne family be behind this? Good heavens! How dare they!"
"This is utterly ruthless! How dare Nancy Milne stand here? Arrest her! Give her a heavy sentence!"
"He must be executed!"
Amidst the commotion in the hall, Xuan Ting scoffed coldly, waved his hand, and a dozen heavily armed police officers rushed in through the entrance and quickly subdued Nancy.
“I sent people to investigate what happened back then, and found the survivors who were silenced, and that’s when we finally found out the truth—it turns out that in order to wipe out the Yang family, the Milne family tried every means to hack into the starship’s system, which caused the starship to disintegrate during its voyage!”
"Mastermind Nancy Milne, accomplice Alfonso Milne! The Ministry of Public Security hereby officially announces the arrest of suspect Nancy Milne on charges of first-degree murder!"
The cold voice, each word resounding, crashed down on Nancy like a monstrous wave. She staggered backward, her legs gave way, and she fell to the ground. Those around her seemed to have seen something filthy, and they all avoided her with extreme disgust.
Along with Luo Shuiyou, she was stunned by the sudden news that her mother was a murderer. She was in a daze and couldn't come back to her senses. Nancy wanted to reach out and help her up, but she subconsciously dodged backward, causing Nancy to miss her.
“Water glaze…” her lips moved.
Luo Shuiyou screamed in despair, "No! You're not my mother! My mother couldn't possibly be—"
She turned around and ran away!
Nancy was rejected by her own daughter, and her already desperate face was covered with a layer of gray and stiffness.
