Chapter 131 - [Bonus ]Death Punishment



"Since aunt can present proofs then i can do so too."

"......" with the words being spoken, he walked leisurely towards the sofa and sat with his legs crossed over each other. His face was nonchalant as if the matter was nothing serious, but he was having a normal weather discussion with them.

Looking at his relaxed face, Eli took a breath too. She walked and sat beside her with a blank and calm face that matched his personality. 

But the same could not be said for Evangeline who was standing there dumbfounded, out of everyone she knew that she did not have a single penny on her name. Then how could Leo present proof that she had a rare treasure with her?

Before she could have even argued that she did not leave the room somehow. But after this lie, would anyone believe her!

A smirk formed on Gabriella\'s face when she thought of the same thing, "if my nephew is going to present it, this old lady would certainly like to see old treasures. So, what proof do you have, Evangeline?" her sharp eyes were piercing every expression of Evangeline who stood rooted to her position stupefied and speechless.

"Why are you not replying. Do not worry no one will ask you for a share as an elder or part of it as the gifts of marriage!" came the amusing voice of Leo forcing Gabriella to turn her face towards him.

Her eyes narrowed at his face as she kicked the armrest with rage, "what are you implying young boy? That I am a greedy woman who asks for jewels from anybody? Tsk.. if that would have been the case, i would have asked for my share in this property a long ago!" her tone was cold as this was the first time her respect was questioned!

"That is why I said that it would not happen! Why is the aunt getting hyper? I will always take your side only! Like you accepted easily that the girl you brought is stinky!"  he raised a brow and asked while tapping the armrest with his fingers. 

He was looking laid back and lazy but the way his eyes were sparkling, he was looking so smokey and captivating that even when he called Aurora stinky, she was unable to keep her eyes away from him.

"...."

"...." her words insulted both of them yet they could not retort. Gabriella gritted her teeth as she realised that she was tricked by him. But she knew that it was all because of Evan! Otherwise never had it been that any of her niece or nephew had raised their voice in front of her or reply back to her back.

She glared at the girl who was still standing silently with her eyes bowed low. No one knew what was going through her mind with her blank face.

"If you have any proof, then show me right now. Or I would take it as excuses that were made to save yourself.`` Gabriella pointed it out as if Evan was the one who had informed that she had the treasure and she would be punished further if the treasure was not found.

"Go and bring all the jewels you have earned! Edan, go and help her in bringing them down!" the knights nodded and finally Evan blinked when she realised what he had done.

She looked at him with complex emotions but when her gaze fell on Gabriella, she nodded her head and walked to her room.

The knight very efficiently entered and picked up a black box from her closet without looking anywhere else. As if he knew the place of the jewels from the start.

They both walked back in the hall where everyone was waiting by standing on pins and needles. Gabriella and Aurora were seated too, but Aura was moving in her seat every now and then while looking back at the stairs. Her face had gone pale and her eyes were filled with anxiety.

While everyone thought that Leo had closed his eyes, he was looking at every movement of Aurora with hawk eyes. His eyes filled with devil glow, as if he would stand up and dig his canines in her neck and suck all the blood out of her body until she took her last breath.

"My lord, matriarch!" Edan bowed and put the heavy black box on the floor. It was an old and dusty box that looked like it had been dug from the ground. It had golden carvings that were filled with soil. Even its lock was old but already broken.

The knights turned to look at Evan who was silent all this time, and bowed his head respectfully, "if you allow me, my lady." 

Evan nodded her head and the knight turned and opened the box for everyone to see. There were some jewels in it that were covered with dust and looked dull. The first look would show that they were fake and had no lusture. But when the knights used a cloth to wipe them, the whole room filled with sparkling lights that even the big chandeliers were not able to compare.

Rubies, diamonds, pearls, emeralds, amber and all the rare jewels were filled with a lot of gold coins below them. There were antique sets, rings, bangles, brochures and hairpins. Even rare stones and old coins that are taken as valuable treasures by royal families these days were in it.

By looking at the treasure, the eyes of Gabriella turned cold, her face hardened and her hands clenched into a fist. 

She looked at Evan as if she would rip her apart this second, "how dare you? I have thought that you have only stolen your earrings and it could be forgiven if you leave the palace. But you even dared to steal all this from our treasure? 

Tell me did you seduce the guards of the treasure room to get your hand on all this. I will make sure that all of you will be given the death punishment."

"...."
