Fated to the Cursed Lycan Prince Chapter 145

Rufus’ POV:

Cherry’s high-pitched squeals gave me a headache. She continued to argue even though we had proof against her. Her face was as filthy as her beating heart.

“Your surveillance video is falsified. It’s fake. Don’t try to ruin my reputation.” Cherry grabbed Maya’s phone and threw it onto the floor. The screen went black as the phone shattered to pieces.

I was losing my patience. Unable to take it anymore, I lunged forward and pressed Cherry’s head against the wall. “Have you finished speaking?”

Cherry’s face was distorted in horror, and her body was trembling. “Y-yes.”

Her sobbing voice was as hoarse and unpleasant as a rusty door that opened with a screech. I let go of her head, took out a handkerchief, and wiped my hands in disgust. “This surveillance video was taken by the vehicle recorder in a car that was parked in the school. If you don’t think this one surveillance video is enough, there are still other videos for you to see. Every car parked there that day has recorded what you had done.”

Cherry’s eyes widened in shock before she burst into tears. “Prince Rufus, I was wrong. I took the clothes, but it wasn’t for me. Someone asked me to. I wasn’t the one who danced with you at the party. I would never dare to steal your things.”

Her answer was a little beyond my expectation. I looked at her in disbelief. “Who instigated you?”

Cherry sniffed loudly and wiped her snot. “I… I didn’t see her face clearly. She was wearing sunglasses and a mask and deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke.”

“How could you help someone when you didn’t even know who it was?” I sneered

“She gave me money. Lots of money. She… I… Wait! I have a recording.” Cherry hurriedly picked her phone from the floor and played an audio file.

The voices in the recording were muffled, and I could barely hear the she-wolf’s voice. There was no substantial evidence about the woman talking about stealing clothes.

“I really didn’t mean to steal it. What should I say to make you believe me?” Cherry clutched her chest and began to wail loudly.

It was not until then that I noticed the bracelet on her wrist. I grabbed her arm hard and exposed it to the crowd. “Then, what about this bracelet? Don’t tell me that you bought it yourself. This is mine; I bought it at an auction for three million dollars. It’s the only piece in the entire world.”

The crowd broke into an uproar and began accusing Cherry of stealing.

“I… I…” Cherry withdrew her hand guiltily. Her lips quivered, but she couldn’t utter a word.

I was not in the mood to interrogate her, so I took the bracelet away.

“Cherry’s immorality and misconduct have violated the rules and disturbed orders of the royal palace. She is expelled from the school from this moment on and has to go back to her original pack for breaking the school’s rules and regulations. I order her not to set foot into the imperial capital city again.”

I beckoned the guards to take Cherry away.

Cherry didn’t give up. She struggled and cried, “I’m innocent! Someone asked me to steal them. It’s just that I was so greedy that I took the bracelet away. Please forgive me. I won’t repeat my mistakes.”

Her voice grew faint as the guards dragged her away. But Cherry’s words made me suspicious. Although evidence proved that Cherry was the culprit, the fact that a car had stopped at a remote path and just so happened to record the entire stealing process seemed suspicious. Everything had happened without a hitch, which in itself seemed a little strange.

I decided to send my men to find out whose car it was. After all, the issue didn’t seem as simple as I first believed it to be.
