Chapter 0380 "Are you in trouble because of it?" he asked me gently, and I shook my head.

"No, Devin, I am not, but someone dear to me other than Sylvester is," told him, and he frowned at me.

"Stephanie is being blackmailed; they claim that the letter was written by her and caused Maurice's death. They said she sent it to you. She is the only parent figure in my life; everyone knows I have been an orphan for a long time. I do not want anything bad to happen to her. She has been through a lot. Devin, please. If there is anything you can tell me that would not make that letter admissible, if a hearing should occur would be kind.

I will be forever indebted to you.

Please, Devin, I am begging you," I said, beginning to weep because ] was out of creative ideas.

"Does your mate know about this?" He asked me, and I shook my head.

"He has a lot to deal with already," I lied, and he sighed "Tamia. I have had this reputation for years," he said, and I nodded.

"Please, Devin, I believe you will be known for greater things. With all that is happening now, you will be known for greater things.

Please, I need your help to help Stephanie.

If we can't prove otherwise, she will die.

They will try her for treason and sentence her to death.

I know you are a good man, Devin, and you will not want something like that on your conscience.

It is okay to maintain your story if it is not hurting anyone, but if a life is hanging in the balance, then you know the right thing to do. Please," I said, and he sighed.

""Was she the one that wrote the letter?" He asked, and there was no point lying.

"Yes, she wrote the letter," I said.

"Why?" he asked me, and I knew I had to be careful.

"He murdered her entire family, made her serve this fated, took her family's seat from her and tried to gift it to his

I son. The abuse was intense, and she just wanted to breathe," I said, and his eyes faltered. J I "He did all that?" He asked, and I nodded.

"Much worse than that, but that is all I can say," I told him, and he nodded.

"I did not like Sylvester. I always believed he was overprivileged, but my time with him made me realise I was wrong. He isn't over-privileged. If anything, he had it worse.

Having to always watch his back and constantly being in a battle to maintain power and peace is a shitty life that I do not wish on anyone.

I'also realise that he is nothing like his father.

I was too slow when I had a chance thinking I had all the time in the world. My procrastination gave birth to the love between you two. I will never want to come between that, let alone destroy the joy the goddess has put in your life. Because of that, I will tell you everything that happened with Maurice.

If ever it comes to it that I have to speak up, Iwill do it for your sake, for the sake of the happiness I was meant to give you that day at the dinner party by taking you away from Leo," he said.

I thanked him.

"I got the letter quite alright and dumped it. I do not know how it got

around that I got a letter; I guess a mole might have picked it up back then. Which means this uprising f bullshit is a spillover from Maurice's time, and Jenny's son is a stupid pawn," He said, and he made all the sense in the world.
