Chapter 98: The Aphrodisiac
Alira couldn’t describe Benjamin’s reaction when he saw Gregory Allen. A mixture of anger and embarrassment surrounded the old man.
The public was shocked to see Gregory alive. Thousands of comments jammed the live broadcast and now in favor of Caden.
Caden’s chuckle broke the chattering noises from the people inside the room. He crossed his legs, placing his hands on the chair’s armrest. His silver eyes focused on the camera as if he was talking to the public.
"Mr.Allen, why don’t you tell everyone what happened two days ago?"
It wasn’t a question, but an order. His icy glare and cold tone would make anyone tremble.
Gregory hesitated at first, but seeing Caden’s eyes staring at him without blinking, he had no choice but to speak.
"I–I was ordered to place bottled water in the vending machines near the classroom of the Platinum Class, particularly the one near to the Crown Prince’s. I have no idea of the reason. I thought it was a harmless drink. But Miss Wilson experienced a weird reaction after drinking it. The Crown Prince’s bodyguards approached me. I already had this feeling that they know I put the bottled water, but didn’t actually apprehend me." He paused.
Then Gregory looked at the camera. "I wasn’t dragged by them. I begged them to take me. Maybe when some of the students saw me, they mistook the scene. I was forcing myself to get into the van and the royal guards were actually pushing me out."
"Can you tell us the reason of your action?" The reported from Media Tech asked.
"Well, when I found out that the bottled water has side effects, I got scared. I told them I will admit my mistake to the Crown Prince, in exchange for protection."
