Chapter 285
There were several falsehoods mixed into the news of Aileen collapsing after ingesting poison.
And given the recent complicated relationship between Violet and the crown prince, the rumors quickly became vulgar.
Naturally, the person who was accused of the crime was Violet.
Roen, delivering this news, looked like he wanted to bite his tongue, but Violet was surprisingly calm as she listened.
“The situation has become complicated. Violet, there’s a witness claiming you’re the culprit, so it seems a trial will be held.”
“It must be a false witness.”
Roen let out a small sigh. She hadn’t even had much contact with Aileen recently, so how had things become so entangled?
The rumors generally went like this: Ducal Lady Violet had aimed for the position of Crown Princess, but Aileen had interfered. The crown prince had supposedly fallen deeply for Aileen Everett, and out of jealousy, Violet had lost her mind.
That’s the reason behind why she had “hired someone to poison Aileen”.
