Chapter 503 Do You Want To Kill Her?
Chapter 503 Do you want to kill her?
After leaving the royal palace, Martha went to the hotel where Stefan was staying.
She had started to doubt Catherine, but she didn't think King Ducasse was a good person to confide in.
"You're here," said Stefan as soon as he opened the door and saw his beloved woman. His eyes lit up
at the sight of her.
He hadn't expected Martha to come see him so early.
Martha looked at him with a serious expression and walked into the room. Stefan noticed that
something was wrong with her and furrowed his brows in concern.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" he asked, his voice laced with worry.
Martha sat down on the sofa and slowly recounted what had happened earlier that day, "This morning,
one of Catherine Queen Dowager's guards came to the Lucas family looking for me. He said that
Catherine Queen Dowager wanted to see me."
"Did she trouble you?" asked Stefan anxiously as he took a step forward towards her. He looked at her
with worried eyes.
If Martha were to say that she didn't want to marry King Ducasse, Catherine would probably become
furious. Had Martha been mistreated by the royal family?
As these thoughts ran through his mind, he asked again, "Are you hurt anywhere?"
Martha shook her head slightly before speaking out about what was troubling her, "She didn't make
things difficult for me, but I disagreed to marry into the royal family. She said that I, like my mother,
didn't know the good from the bad."
Catherine's eyes at that time were vicious and angry, completely different from what she usually saw,
which only fueled more suspicion within Martha's heart.
Stefan's face darkened when he heard this, and a gloomy voice sounded in the room-
"According to what you said, Catherine Queen Dowager of Country Z must hold some grudge against
your mother."
"Yes, that's what I suspect. I suspect that there must be some unknown grievance between her and my
mother."
Martha's hand on her side tightened unconsciously, while feeling an inkling inside of herself - as long as
she knew the grievances involved, the real culprit who killed her mother would also be found.
Sitting across from each other now, Stefan nodded along before delving deeper into analysis over their
suspicions together in hushed tones.
"The Hopper family has finally become a member of the royal family. Shouldn't they continue to have
their own family members become the next queen to consolidate the Hopper family's position?"
Stefan paused and then continued, "By choosing you as Z Country's queen, isn't Catherine Queen
Dowager pushing the Lucas family back into power again? The Hopper family's influence may not be
as strong as it is now."
Stefan sensed that Catherine had a hidden agenda for choosing Martha to marry King Ducasse and
become Z Country's queen. Martha agreed with Stefan's rational analysis.
"You are right, and before that, I heard Sam say that the Hopper family and the Lucas family had been
hostile towards each other for a hundred years, so I suspect that Catherine has her own reasons for
letting me marry into the royal family."
However, she didn't know what the reason was.
She furrowed her brows at this thought and remembered how hostile Catherine had been towards her
mother earlier today.
"I could clearly feel her deep hostility towards my mother in her chamber today," Martha said.
It was because of this hostility that she couldn't help but wonder if Catherine was responsible for killing
her mother. Her eyes darkened at this thought.
But if the murderer who killed her mother was really Catherine, what should she do?
Soon, Stefan's questioning voice sounded in the room, interrupting Martha's thoughts.
"Are you suspecting that Catherine Queen Dowager killed your mother?"
Martha raised her head sharply to look at the man sitting across from her, but shook her head after a
while.
"I'm not sure if it was her, but I do suspect she had something to do with my mother's death."
She didn't know much about what was happening within royalty right now except for feeling how hostile
Catherine had been towards them earlier today.
But that hostility could only prove that there was a deep grudge between Catherine and her mother,
and there was no evidence that her mother was killed by Catherine.
At this moment, the doorbell in the room rang, interrupting their thoughts.
The two looked at each other, and they both saw doubts in each other's eyes.
Eden and Stefan's assistant have left Z Country, so who would knock on the door now?
The next second, the waiter's crisp voice sounded outside the door, "Hello, room service."
"Wait a minute."
Martha replied, turned around and walked out, and opened the door of the room that was originally
closed.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, the door of the room was suddenly knocked open, and the person
standing at the door stretched out his hand and raised an electric shock baton to directly attack
Martha's abdomen.
The sudden electric shock on her belly made Martha's body tremble, and she almost fell to the ground.
Stefan who was standing behind saw this scene, and immediately reacted, quickly stepped forward and
kicked the man in black who was walking forward.
One of the men in black was immediately kicked to the ground, and his companion rushed forward after
seeing it.
Before Stefan got close to Martha, he was surrounded by two men in black.
The man in black went up with an uppercut, and Stefan quickly took two steps back and kicked him in
the heart.
One of the men in black jumped up to avoid his attack, and the other man in black swung at Stefan in
the head.
The two men in black fought with Stefan violently.
The man in black standing not far away saw that his companion couldn't beat Stefan, so he grabbed
the fainted Martha, and put a sharp dagger on Martha's neck-
"Stop it, do you still want her to live!"novelbin
