Chapter 730: Looking After Her People
Arabella remained silent and listened to it all. When they were done, she finally glanced at Ivan.
"What can you say about this?" She eyed Ivan.
[Does Her Majesty believe them?] Ivan eyed her. [No, she simply wants to hear the truth. Her Majesty must already know about the rumors about me being violent but never questioned me about it.]
"They are the ones who are lying, Your Majesty. These people made me do their work and hindered me from completing the tasks assigned to me. They also beat me up when they feel like it. On the day I beat him up, my former superior ruined important documents I had completed to make sure I would be fired so I lost myself in fury," Ivan explained.
"How dare you accuse me?!" Ivan’s former superior pretended to be innocent. "Your Majesty, he has already been found guilty and has been fired and banned from working here again."
"It seems there is more to this story. I’ll have this matter investigated. But first, for now, make way. I have given Ivan a task and he needs to perform it," Arabella said and began walking forward without waiting for his response, dismissing any more talk.
"Yes, Your Majesty. Our apologies," Ivan’s superior and his subordinates had no choice but to make way and bow.
[Ugh. She’s so full of herself when she’s just new. She’s just a princess from a small kingdom. Does she really think she has any authority here? I wonder what tactics she used to charm His Majesty but I’m sure it wouldn’t last. It’s true that she’s gorgeous but His Majesty must have only taken her because she was most desired by other rulers. His Majesty must have simply claimed the win and would show them that even the lady they desired most is nothing to him. Hmph. It was already concluded that Ivan was guilty. Even if they reopen the case, we have made enough proof and paid the witnesses. I have already warned everyone to testify against him. Let’s see what people would think of her when they hear that she hired someone already banned from working here for being violent.] Ivan’s superior thought.
’This bastard. He really wants to be punished doesn’t he?’ Arabella gripped at her skirt.
