Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 355 Muir: There is no treasure here at all…
Queen Lisa and Princess Ellie, under the cover of the generals and guards, were in a sorry state as they escaped the passageway and saw Muir and Tannis standing there.
Seeing the calm and collected Muir, Lisa forgot everything and rushed over, loudly questioning, "Muir, what is really going on? Why is the treasure fake? Why is it poisoned?"
She turned her head to point to the collapsing secret chamber behind, "And also, why is this passageway suddenly collapsing?"
Muir looked deeply into Lisa’s eyes and retorted, "Shouldn’t the queen know why the passageway is collapsing?"
Lisa looked at Muir in confusion, "Muir, what do you mean?"
Muir sneered, coldly around him, "Does the queen not know that the Princess Butterfly is an impostor? Or is it that even now, you want to hide what you’ve done behind my back?"
Speaking, he approached Lisa, his voice as cold as frost, "Lisa, the things you did twenty-three years ago should be confessed now!"
Lisa was shocked, not expecting Muir to know everything.
But how could she admit it?
She looked at Muir, firmly denying, "I haven’t done anything!"
"Haha, didn’t do anything?" Muir’s voice was not loud, yet chilling.
He looked at Lisa and said coldly, "Twenty-three years ago, you sent people to kill Amanda’s adoptive family, forcing Amanda to flee from Whitehill, and spent years relentlessly sending people to hunt her down. Do you dare to say you didn’t do all this? Hmm?"
Lisa refused to admit it.
Even at this point, she didn’t want to tear their relationship apart, still wanting to maintain the facade, even if just superficially.
Moreover, the mask she’s worn for so long, she didn’t want to rip it off in public, didn’t want people to know her true self.
Her gaze calm, she looked at Muir, denying, "Muir, throughout my life, how much I’ve loved you, don’t you know? I can love what you love, tolerate all of you, how could I do something like this!"
"Hmph!" Muir snorted coldly, "For so many years, I’ve seen through your pretense long ago; stop pretending! This time you take a fake pendant and a fake princess attempting to open Whitehill’s passageway, how could I let you have your way?"
Lisa was taken aback.
She knew about the fake princess, but what was this about a fake pendant?
She looked at Muir, asking blankly, "What fake pendant? Princess Butterfly is indeed fake, but I just found out. Isn’t the pendant real?"
Muir scoffed disdainfully, "You think a meticulously crafted pendant can deceive my eyes? The treasure passed down through the generations of Whitehill, wouldn’t I recognize it?"
He looked coldly at Lisa, resolutely asking, "Lisa, have you opened the passageway?"
And without waiting for Lisa to answer, he coldly continued, "Lisa, let me tell you, even if you open it, it’s useless, it will only result in what we see now. And..."
Lisa urgently pursued, "And what?"
Muir coldly looked at the disheveled people who escaped the passageway, "The real treasure is not here at all, this is merely a decoy to mislead the world! The true treasure could hardly be here!"
Lisa was so angry her head spun, following him for twenty years yet unaware of the real treasure.
This man is so ruthless, she was incensed to death.
"Muir, so you’ve been deceiving me all along!"
Muir’s gaze grew colder, "Isn’t it you who has been deceiving me all along?"
Lisa suddenly fell silent.
Not because she had nothing to say, but because she suddenly realized something.
He knew!
He knew Princess Butterfly was fake, knew things she didn’t, even that the Butterfly Jade Pendant was fake!
He had anticipated everything that would happen here, which is why he feigned illness not to come, wanting her dead, poisoned, or buried here?!
He now brought people waiting here, ready to witness her downfall? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
And even preparing to execute her should she survive?
She looked sadly at Muir, unable to believe, "Muir, I have been by your side growing up, married you, and bore three daughters for you. I do not ask for deep love from you, just to be by your side, but now you wish to end my life? For all I’ve done for you over the years, do you not see any of it? How can you treat me so heartlessly and coldly?"
Muir looked at Lisa, voice calm and cold, "I would rather have never known you, never let you do so much for me, then my Amanda wouldn’t have suffered so much, wouldn’t have died young!"
Muir’s harsh and cold gaze looked fiercely at Lisa.
The arrival of truth was more aggressive than any weapon in this world.
Lisa’s heart hurt unto death.
Muir’s words had revealed everything, he indeed knew what would happen in the passage, ready to see her dead, ready to execute her!
How could he treat her this way?
He was the man she spent a lifetime loving with everything!
She had grown up with him, married him, shared so many years of companionship, and yet he calculated every move to bring her death!
And what did he say? He even hoped she had never loved him deeply, never met her, never...
Lisa, with dust on her head and face, hair disheveled, eyes crimson, staggered backward.
She looked at Muir in despair, let out a bitter laugh, "Never? Haha, such a never! Muir, how can you be so cruel? Are you truly a cold, emotionless stone, impenetrable to my warmth? In your eyes, and heart, is there only Una Sutcliffe, and despite all I’ve done, do you see no good in me?"
Muir nodded, unabashedly admitted, "Indeed, no matter what you do, in my heart, there’s only Amanda, you’ll never match her or compare."
Lisa suddenly burst into laughter, maniacal, terrifying, "Haha... all these years, I’ve merely been a joke!"
She looked at Muir with malice, "In that case, Muir, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
After speaking, Lisa commanded harshly, "Guards!"
Upon hearing Lisa’s order, the Whitehill guards amassed, surrounding their King Muir and Dennis.
"What are you doing?!" Muir asked grimly.
