Chapter 31
All eyes turned to Maxie, whose face looked grey.
“Her?” Casper asked again in disbelief, “A soldier? Are you seriously going to dump all of your shits on
her?”
“It’s the truth.” Baron said, “She went behind my back and gave Janet the wrong map. I had no idea of
that.”
People all stared at Maxie perplexedly.
Yet she still kept her mouth shut as though she had nothing to say about Baron’s accusation.
“Stop fu cking lying,” Casper said irritably. “That man has already confessed. It was clearly you!”
There was cold sweat on Baron’s forehead. But he still insisted:
“I don’t know what got into that stupid man’s head, or what I have done to wrong him. But the truth is
that Maxie did it! Ask her if you like!”
Maxie slightly quivered. It would seem like that she was afraid of her crimes getting exposed right now.
But Janet felt there was something wrong in this.
She turned to Daran and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Do you know anything
about this soldier Maxie?”
Daran nodded, “Yes. She was a very strong and capable warrior. In fact, if it wasn’t for her records, she
would become a general a long time ago.”
“What kind of record?” Janet frowned.
“Criminal record. She was put into, prison for 3 months because of stealing.”
Janet was stunned.
This Maxie woman seemed very decent to her…but looked like you couldn’t judge a book by its cover.
“SPOKE UP YOU BITCH!”
Baron suddenly let out a furjous roar.
He jumped at Maxie and landed a hard kick on her back. Maxie stumbled forward and still held her
head down in silence.
“Confess your crime, now!” Baron snarled, “Haven’t you done enough shameful stuffs? I gave you a
second chance after you got out of prison, Yet you completely disappointed me, AGAIN!”
The looks on everyone’s face changed when they heard that Maxie was in prison.
once.
A woman with criminal record…That made her seem more suspicious than before.
Baron was about to hit Maxie again.
But Janet called him to stop.
“That is enough Gamma Baron. Stop abusing your soldier in front of us,” Janet said with an ironic
smile, “I was almost beginning to think that you are blackmailing her to confess.” Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
“What? That is absurd! I do not need to blackmail anybody. The truth is the truth!”
Baron turned to Bobbie and said:
“Ask Bobbie. Did you notice anything weird about Maxie before the competition began?”
Bobbie quickly nodded, “Yes! She was very sneaky and talked for a long while with that man. It must be
about the map.”
“See? I told you-”
“I don’t want anyone else’s testimony.” Janet got off the bed and walked to Maxie, “Maxie, could you tell
us if you did it or not? Don’t be afraid of saying out the truth. We will all protect you.”
Maxie held her head down in silence.
After a long time, she slowly rose her head but avoided Janet’s eyes.
“Yes,” she said dryly. “I did it.”
An astonished gasp could be heard from the crowd.
Janet stared closely at Maxie and pursued, “Are you sure? Don’t feel any pressure to own up to
anything you didn’t do!”
Maxie shook her head slowly.
She was still gazing into the air instead of Janet.
“I’m sure. I did it,” she repeated lowly.
“Ha!” Baron clapped his hand excitedly, a triumph grin on his face. “I told you! Maxie is guilty!”
Casper rubbed the furrow between his brows in frustration, “But it doesn’t make any sense. Maxie
doesn’t even know Janet. Why would she do such a thing?”
“Who knows?” Baron said dismissively, “She is a woman. Woman does all kinds of crazy things. She is
probably just jealous of Janet and that is why she did it.”
His voice was filled with indignation.
Then he grabbed Maxie by her hair and started banging her head violently against
the wall:
“Stupid bitch! Completely ruined my reputation! I should have never given you that chance! Idiot-”
“STOP!” Janet snaped./
Daran spoke up at the same time in a stern voice, “Cut it off right now! Baron you are not an
executioner. You have no right to abuse her like that!”
He paused and turned to his guards, “Take Maxie to the cell. I will discuss with the executioner later
about her punishment.”
“No.” Janet said, “There is no need. I can think of a punishment right now.”
Janet was glaring at Baron right now.
Her bright eyes gleamed with flaming rage as though she was going to lose it the next second.
Baron couldn’t help but take a step back in fear, “Why the hell are you looking at me?”
Janet ignored him.
She turned to Daran and asked, “As the victim of this incident, can I decide the punishment?”
Daran hesitated for a second and then nodded, “Sure.”
“No matter what I want?”
“It is entirely up to you.”
“Perfect.”
Janet strode over to Baron and looked down at him icily:
“Then I want you, Baron, to be paraded through the street while a speaker announcing your crime for
all passersby to hear!”
The entire room lapsed into silence.
Maxie snapped her head around and looked at Janet astonishedly.
Baron widened his eyes in shock. A few seconds later, he suddenly burst into laughter:
“What the fu ck—are you crazy? I didn’t do anything! Why should I get punished for this?”
Janet raised a brow.
Baron’s face turned red, and he yelled, “It is not the same thing—
||
“It is exactly the same thing,” Janet said coldly. “Why? Are you going to hold a double standard just
because the business concerns you now?”
Baron’s whole body was shivering.
He looked like he wanted to punch Janet at her face.
But he didn’t dare because he knew she was stronger than he was.
“Alpha!” Baron turned to Daran abruptly and cried, “Alpha please! You’re not going to let these bunch of
people publicly humiliate your Gamma-”
Daran frowned.
And Casper came to stand with Janet as well, “I agree with Janet. Please keep your words, Alpha
Daran.”
Daran looked over to Maxie and then back to Baron, who was staring back at him with fearful eyes.
“If it pleases Gamma Janet…” Daran spoke up in a calm voice, “Then we will your decision. Guard,
escort Baron out!”
Guards immediately obeyed his order and went for Baron.

Baron yelled and backed away from the guards. But he was still seized by them eventually.
“Alpha–Alpha Daran…Are you out of your mind?! Letting these foreigners bully your own Gamma! The
shame is on you!!”
Baron was roaring in rage.
But he was dragged out by guards and his voice gradually disappeared into the distance.
“Fabulous.”
Janet clapped her hands together in joy.
“Anyone want to join me to see the parade?”
