Chapter 700: 700
Before anyone could speak anything, the elder councilwoman who stood in the box said, "That's rubbish . Do you think just bringing your very own associate by feeding him lies you can make him speak here and no one will question you for your antics?"
Damien knew at one point the woman was ruffled up . Of course, no one knew where the lady had been and what she had done . Though she had told others that she was on council work, the truth was she had traveled there for her very own purpose . The woman was known to be poise and imposing but Damien was even worse than she was to let things slide .
He wouldn't have kept for a meeting before but it wasn't the time to lay back and watch what was going on in here or outside the council . If he didn't do it now, sooner or later Penny would be dragged into this thanks to her mother where the other witches knew Penelope's existence and whose daughter she was .
"Actually we have not one but two witnesses . Lord Nicholas, had accompanied Kreme . Is that right, milord?" Damien said turning to the man who had been sitting there quietly without saying a word . The people in the council hadn't expected the Lord of Bonelake to take part in the meeting except to be a spectator like most of them .
"I did and what associate Kreme is telling is the truth," upon Lord Nicholas' words, Councilwoman Ava glared at him .
"This is a bunch of lies! Where is the proof?"
"A thief will never leave a trail behind but when the thief is so worried at the thought that they weren't meticulous enough, the very same thief goes back to check if everything is alright without realizing they leave something of theirs behind . To make the story short we found a kerchief in Councilman Creed's house the night he died," Damien said walking back and forth on the floor .
He snapped his fingers for the guardsman to show everyone the kerchief as it was lifted up, "If you're wondering why no one ever questioned you, it was because proofs were being collected for what you have been doing behind the council's back . We don't have many councilwoman who work here and no one as the initial of A . K woven into it . "
Councilwoman Ava smiled, the corner of her eyes showing fine lines of her age, "I have visited his mansion several times for work . It must have dropped without my notice at some point in time . "
Damien stopped walking and gave her a nod, "That might be a possibility . Tell me, do you like the smell of flowers?"
The woman didn't know why he was asking her that question but she gave him a nod to say, "Yes . Yes, I do . "
"I heard you usually press a flower, Gardenia to be specific in your handkerchief to keep the fragrance if the flower is fresh in it . Is that right?"
