Chapter 1563 - Half an Hour
Selena chuckled.
Even though she wasn't angry, her piercing gaze made the hearts of all the Central City personnel present tighten.
"The law in Central City does not allow nobles to kill anyone at will!"
"On the contrary, as far as I know, Central City's laws are strict and fair. Anyone who commits a crime, regardless of their status,
must be treated equally!"
"Miss White hired someone to commit murder. The evidence is conclusive. This not only damages the image of Central City but
also greatly affects our relationship with both sides..."
"Central City has yet to cup with a solution for such despicable behavior!" Selena's lips curved slightly upwards and her cold
gaze beceven more intimidating. "Who is currently ruling Riddle Group Empire?! How can they be so incompetent?!"
The last sentence made all the representatives from Central City present feel uneasy.
In the past, if someone had questioned Riddle Group Empire's authority like this, as people from Central City they would have
already slammed their fists on tables and stood up in protest.
But when they saw Selena's face, they couldn't help but think of that rumor... and then couldn't calm themselves down.
Faced with Selena's questioning, even using simple delaying tactics was impossible for them.
Central City did indeed have strict laws.
But Beatrice was a descendant of royalty.
She had a mother who was once a princess herself,
And possibly even a younger sister who could becthe new empress...
With such powerful backing behind her name, who would dare declare that she should be executed without hesitation?
However, at the stime, the late Queen was known for her fairness and strictness during her reign.
She ruled for thirteen years and executed many members of the royal family who had committed crimes.
She even killed her beloved Uncle David, who she cared deeply for.
Her just and strict governing style made her the most respected and beloved figure in all seventy-two cities of the federation.
Although Miss Lillian may have a chance to inherit the throne, she has not yet taken that position nor is she qualified to challenge
or undermine that authority.
Within Riddle Group's empire, there is likely a power struggle taking place regarding Beatrice's situation.
On one side is the authority and order established by former Queen over many years; on the other side is Miss Lillian who may
beca new queen...
This power struggle represents whether or not there can be a successful transfer of power.
Now it remains to be seen who will ultimately emerge victorious.
The central city representative being watched by Selena takes a deep breath and says: "Mr. Turner, please give us two days' t-
we are sure that our empire will provide you with an explanation that satisfies you!"
Selena lightly taps on the table with her slender fingers as she smiles coldly and sarcastically: "Two days should be enough tto
solve this problem." She continues: "As Central City holds first place among all alliance cities, it's disappointing how indecisive they
are about executing murderers." Upon hearing Selena belittle their city again, one of Central City's representatives finally loses his
temper: "Mr. Turner should choose his words carefully! It's precisely because this issue affects both countries’ diplomatic relations
that more tis needed for your Empire to resolve it!"
"Our queen is just and impartial, never favoring or protecting anyone!"
"I believe that the decision of Central City will not disappoint Mr. Turner in the end!"
Selena smiled slightly, "But how cI heard that the queen of Riddle Group Empire had passed away a year ago?"
"If she were still in power, according to what Beatrice has done in the past year, she would have been dead long ago, wouldn't
she?"
Upon hearing Selena's words, representatives from Central City were infuriated but couldn't find anything to refute her.
When our empress was alive, everyone in the court knew not to cross her. But after her passing and with Lillian about to take over
as empress, Beatrice suddenly began acting recklessly at the research institute. She even conducted many prohibited human
experiments privately.
Although Beatrice tried to keep things discreetly hidden away, any actions taken would inevitably leave traces behind. Especially
when news broke out about her killing a researcher from H country openly - there were people who started investigating
immediately.
All of Beatrice's secret deeds had been exposed within Central City and it was truly appalling. If it weren't for her mother and sister
who cfrom such noble backgrounds - she would have already been sent up for execution.
This is why if our empress was still alive today - even with ten times more courage than what Beatrice has shown so far - she
wouldn't dare be so heartless! Therefore Selena's words could not be refuted by them.
Most importantly though: this woman standing before them now shared both nand appearance with their deceased empress...
Even a person from the center of the city couldn't argue with that face. Selena smiled and said, "Since the center of the city is
making it so difficult, let H country handle this on their own."
Selena turned to Leia and said, "Announce the cause and effect of this matter publicly and let the court pick a day to send the
criminal straight to justice!"
Selena's words made all of the representatives from the center of the city turn pale.
"Mr. Turner!" The representative who spoke first looked at her with cold sweat on his forehead. "Please wait a moment. I'll call back
now. The execution in our empire... should have already happened by now!"
As Selena had said, once it was revealed that representatives from the center of city had sent someone to kill an opposing
mechanic over a few words during an argument within H country's borders, their reputation would be ruined.
In such circumstances, they couldn't afford any delay.
Selena elegantly leaned back in her chair and said, "I'll give you all half an hour."
The representatives from center of city bowed to Selena before leaving meeting room.
Seeing this situation, Selena sneered and told Leia, "Leia, call someone at court and have them bring Beatrice over."
Lillian had deliberately brought this foolish sister in front of her as a tool for establishing dominance; how could she allow Beatrice
to get what she wanted?
Leia immediately went off to make phone calls.
Twenty minutes later, Beatrice was brought in wearing handcuffs by two court officials.
Two days in prison had stripped away any trace of delicacy or elegance that cwith being born into nobility but only served to
highlight her arrogant malice even more so.
As soon as she walked in, she glared at Selena with malice. "It was you who framed me! I never did such a thing..."
Selena casually turned her head. "Miss White knows that the things she did at the Central City Research Institute have been
thoroughly exposed by the Empire's people and made public, haven't they?"
