Chereads / The Redemption Of The Forgotten Heiress / Chapter 65 - Lie Detector (2)

Chapter 65 - Lie Detector (2)

The next day, the lie detector test is administered as planned. Beatrice has asked Richard to tamper with it.

Prince Henry and Richard are present, along with several other noble children and also Lady Melissa of Williams, who has grown suspicious of Richard's motives.

"Beatrice, are you sure you have never met with the merchant, Mr. Greenleaf?" the man administering the test asks.

"Yes, I am certain," Beatrice replies, her voice steady and confident.

The lie detector indicates that she is telling the truth.

"Then who did you say met with him?" the man continues.

"My father," Beatrice replies. "His signature was on the receipt."

The lie detector registers another truthful response, and the people around her let out a collective sigh of relief. All, that is, except for Melissa, who keeps her eyes fixed on Richard. She is sure he is up to something.

Marianne cannot help but smirk, a devious plan forming in her mind.
