A Beautiful Luna After Rejection-Chapter 286 - Special Treatment

Chapter 286 Special Treatment

When I left, I noticed that the committee members sitting in front of me were still whispering to each other. I didn’t know what they were discussing. General Lovecraft had also disappeared.

In the bathroom, I looked in the mirror and sighed.

Today, to go to the court with Michael, I put on some light makeup, but now... The color of my lipstick didn’t make my face look lustrous. On the contrary, it was full of doubt and decadence.

I was worried that Joanna won’t get the punishment she deserved. It was obvious that other than me, the others didn’t care what crime Joanna would be sentenced to because it had nothing to do with them.

However, if Joanna really got off the hook because of her special privileges or was only sentenced to stay in one place for a few years, it was difficult for me to accept such an outcome.

To her, staying in the same place for a few years was a piece of cake. They had very long lifespans and plenty of ways to kill time.

I reached out and grabbed my hair, trying to pull myself together.

At that moment, I heard footsteps from outside the door.

Then, the door was pushed open, and a cold female voice ordered, “You can only stay there for ten minutes.”

Then, I smelled a familiar scent that could instantly ignite my anger.

Mia started to scream in my body. I also saw the annoying figure in the mirror. It was Joanna.

“Oh, Cecily, are you also here to welcome me back to my freedom?” Joanna chuckled in her loathsome voice.

I stared at her in the mirror, too lazy to put on any fake smile.”What did you say?”

“You heard everything, didn’t you?” Joanna took two steps forward.

She was not wearing handcuffs. Her clothes did not look like what a prisoner would wear. In fact, she looked great. She was like a princess who lived a comfortable life. She was dressed in decent clothes, clean and tidy, her cheeks were red, and she was full of energy.

She looked completely different from the hysterical and crazy person she was in prison last time. This was probably all thanks to her father.

Joanna had put on that hypocritical mask again. She had that annoying smile, looking confident and energetic.

“I did hear it.” I turned around and sneered at Joanna. “You look like you’re doing well now, but after today’s trial, I’m afraid you won’t be able to live so freely.”

I assumed that everything she had now was because this was the palace. Hence, her father’s authority was still in effect here. However, once she was in the werewolf court, even if she were a Lycan, she would not be able to interfere with the werewolf court’s decision. She could only return to where she was supposed to go, the prison cell.

I didn’t expect Joanna’s smile to become even brighter after hearing what I said.

“What’s going on? Didn’t Michael tell you? I won’t be found guilty. I’m not like those stupid werewolves,” Joanna said, pretending to be angry.

“I’ve never been involved in their affairs. I admit that I may have done something rude to you for some reason, but it was not my intention. I’m sure the people in court can understand me. After all, I’m still a little girl.”

Her words disgust me every time I hear them. I realized I was an idiot when I talked to her, so I walked past her, opened the door, and planned to leave.

However, Joanna called out to me again, “Cecily, wait a moment.

“Perhaps I should now say, Your Highness.” Joanna paused as if she was hesitating. However, I knew that she was only gathering her courage to say something even more vicious. “I don’t think the Lycan King has performed the ceremony for you yet. After all, he’s not very happy with your identity.

“He thinks I’m a better candidate, doesn’t he? Furthermore, Michael must have figured out what was more important to a Prince after such a long period. He knows that you don’t belong in the palace, and you don’t belong here. If you’re a bit more tactful, you should leave earlier.” ƒ𝓇e𝙚𝔀𝐞𝚋𝓃𝐨𝘷e𝙡.𝒄𝗼m

Joanna’s words still inevitably hurt me.

Even though I didn’t care about the title of ‘Princess Consort’, I was still very unhappy that Joanna had pointed out so directly that my status wasn’t worthy of Michael, and my self-esteem was hurt.

I turned around and said very calmly, “Perhaps you think your status is nobler than mine, or perhaps you have some ways to get you out of today’s trial. However, this luck won’t protect you forever because I won’t let you go. You’ll get the punishment you deserve sooner or later.”

I glared at her fiercely to show my determination.

“Ha.” Joanna chuckled.

She moved closer and placed her soft, white fingers on my shoulder. It was a strange feeling, like a boneless snake.
