I read these chapters again and it looks like it was Luis who brought Carla as the witness. I thought it was Arlan who brought her to court to testify. I read too fast. Ugh! This is not good!
Can’t for the next chapters.
In response to Grace's glare, Oriana offered her a playful smirk and a wink. Grace's eyes widened in shock as she glanced around, expecting others to notice what Oriana did, but everyone was engrossed in conversation with those around them.
I wonder if Oriana can help. But then Evanthe or Sierra would have already mentioned it as an alternative. Sigh! This is not good. No wonder Morpheus is trying to shooo Ember away.
Arlan decided to start from the beginning. "Before the Mortimers, the northeast territory was controlled by two families. The Wynters ruled the north, and the Rainiers ruled the east."
"Your turn will come, my dear. Just have patience. It won't be too long. Our visit to the capital won't be in vain." Luis once more glanced at the marks on Grace's neck, "Make sure they won't fade away till we make use of them."
Thank you, dear author, for the extra chapter. I am sure Arlan knows that the father and daughter are trying to create trouble for Oriana. With his love for his wife, he will put those two where they belong - the gutter. 😡
