Chapter 704

Chapter 704:

“Heh…” Patty sneered. “Then both of you can enjoy the holding cell together!”

The threat was no joke. The holding cell was notorious—a place reserved for traitors, outfitted with brutal tools of punishment where many had met their end. Patty was now driven by the twisted logic that if she couldn’t have him, no one could.

She waved her hand, and some guards moved forward. “Take them to the holding cell!” she commanded.

The guards closed in on Waylon and Madisyn, their hands just inches away when a sharp, authoritative voice rang out. “Stop!”

Babette had arrived. She was flanked by two servants, radiating an aura of undeniable power. Her mere presence silenced the crowd, who quickly bowed in respect.

“Your Majesty.”

“Good day, Your Majesty.”

Patty quickly greeted her as well. “Your Majesty.”

Then she turned toward Waylon and Madisyn. “Your Majesty, these two are frauds! This man pretended to be my boyfriend just to sneak in with another woman.”

Patty looked at Babette with a mix of grievance and anticipation. Since Babette was her relative and knew the whole story, she was sure she would help her get Madisyn and Waylon kicked out.

“Are you telling me that he pretended to be your boyfriend just to get in here?” Babette asked, her eyes fixed on Patty.

Patty nodded. “Yes.”

Babette raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? But they’ve been here for several days now.” She sneered coldly.

Patty was stunned, caught off guard by Babette’s response. The others’ eyes widened in surprise. Had these two really been here for days?

Madisyn looked at Patty, the corners of her lips twitching into a disdainful sneer. Although she remained silent, her piercing gaze spoke volumes. Patty could feel the waves of intense contempt emanating from her.

“Your Majesty, why are they here?” Patty asked, her confusion evident.

Babette didn’t bother to explain. Instead of answering Patty’s question, she simply said, “The engagement ceremony is imminent.”

Clearly, she implied that further disruptions would not be tolerated, and those causing trouble needed to stop.

With that, Babette turned and walked away without saying another word.

The guards returned to their posts, completely ignoring Patty’s plight.

The onlookers around cast sidelong, amused glances at Patty. Rather than sympathizing with her, the crowd mocked her.

Patty trembled uncontrollably, her face burning with a mix of humiliation and rage. This was the first time she had experienced such intense public mortification. She glared at Waylon and Madisyn with fury, as if she wanted to swallow them alive.

But Madisyn ignored Patty’s anger. With a smile of contempt, she took Waylon’s arm and walked away, brushing past Patty.

Before leaving, Madisyn spoke in a low voice, “Do you really believe Waylon can only rely on you?” Her expression was deeply scornful.
