Chapter 543 She'S Gone Mad And Can'T Testify
Chapter 543 She's gone mad and can't testify
Stefan could see right through Martha's sadness with just one glance. He let out a sigh and tried tocomfort her, "There's no evidence yet, don't jump to conclusions so quickly."
"He's right. Let my men investigate further before we make any decisions," King Ducasse added inagreement before turning to the guard standing beside him.
"You lead a team and continue the investigation. Be careful not to be detected," he instructed.
"Yes," the guard replied before leaving to arrange for undercover investigations.
After a moment of silence among the remaining three people in Side Palace, King Ducasse broke itby saying, "It's getting late now. I'll leave you two alone. Rest well."
"Mhm," Stefan responded indifferently without any intention of continuing the conversation.
After King Ducasse left, Martha looked at Stefan with concern and asked, "Does your wound stillhurt?"
"I'm fine now. Don't worry too much about it. Maybe this is all just a misunderstanding?" Stefan triedhis best to reassure her while worrying that she might not be able to accept it if this incident turnedout true.
Martha nodded absentmindedly, then changed the subject.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Martha left Side Palace.
King Ducasse's men quickly found some results from their investigation.
Martha returned again in the afternoon of the next day, only to find both King Ducasse and Stefanlooking grave inside Side Palace when she entered.
Confused by their expressions, she furrowed her brows slightly and asked them directly, "Whathappened?"
King Ducasse glanced at his guard who then repeated what they had discovered during theirinvestigation.
"We sent someone undercover into Clark's pharmaceutical factory, only to discover that they weren'tproducing regular medicine but instead were developing various illegal medicines."
The guard's words made Martha's heart sink, as Uncle Clark was involved in Catherine's case afterall. Maybe he was the mastermind she had been searching for all along.novelbin
At that moment, she suddenly felt sorry for her grandmother.
Her eldest daughter was murdered, her eldest son was sentenced to death, and now her secondson was producing illegal medicines.
If Grandma knew about Uncle Clark's situation, she would be sadder.
As Martha thought of this, she had mixed feelings.
After a moment of silence, King Ducasse said sternly, "Take him away. Lock up Clark now!"
Producing banned medication in Z Country was a major crime that could result in immediateexecution.
A woman standing nearby shook her head gently and spoke up to stop King Ducasse, "No. Wecan't arrest him right now."
"Why not?"
King Ducasse looked excitedly at Martha with determination written all over his face.
The incident involving his mother on the hall caused an uproar among the people of Z Country. Nowhe finally had a chance to prove his mother's innocence; how could he not be anxious?
Martha pursed her lips and calmly analyzed, "If we arrest him at this time without evidence orwitnesses, it will only alert him. Catherine has gone insane, so she can't testify. Then we have noreason to make Clark pay for anything."
