The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 175

"Relax and tell me what you want to say, Tamia," He said and kissed my hand again. I sighed.

"Your mother does not seem like the forgiving type. Were there guards in this duplex during the time of the attack?" I asked him.

"They were supposed to be, but the wounded ones were few. They usually have a shift, and the attack happened during the shift. They did say southern and eastern soldiers attacked them. They thought my mother was dead. That was why the attackers left," he said, and I sighed,

"Did you see these so-called southern soldiers? At least your mother's guards should have put up a fight and got one or two," I said.

"I guess they came prepared," he said.

"What if," I said and looked at him, trying to compose myself and summon the courage to speak.

"I am just speculating, Sylvester," I warned him, and he smiled and caressed my cheek, urging me to speak freely.

"What if your mother lured Jenny to her house and had her killed?" I said, and he froze.

"Think about it. They aren't friends; there is bad blood between them, and Jenny's house is impenetrable. Your mother might have invited her here in the name of truce, made sure there was a shift and planned with the guards present to do her bidding and say it was the south. She and Dominic were the only ones that knew I was visiting that morning. Since Devin had tried to take me from the estate once, they might as well blame the attack on him, only that this time around, he decided to kill a council member and injure your mother, which is a bit odd. If truly he was the one that staged the attack, then your mother would be dead. What if Jenny was blackmailing your mother, and she decided to silence her for good? What if Jenny was making allegations that could put you in trouble? Your mother would do anything for you and Dominic. I am just saying," I said, and he was silent for a bit, digesting my words.

"What will Jenny have on her?" He asked me and his eyes widened because he had thought of something.

"There was a letter where Jenny claimed my mother had my father and his officers murdered. My mother replied to her and warned her to stop spewing nonsense. It is impossible, of course, because we know Bane killed them, but what if Jenny was trying to pin it on her? I still doubt my mother will kill her because of a baseless allegation." He said, and I shook my head.

"I doubt it has anything to do with your father's death, Sylvester. I think it has a lot to do with your position and that of your brother. You know I read the letters you read, and your mother said something about Jenny helping her because it would benefit Vino, who is Jenny's nephew," I said, and he nodded.

"Did it occur to you that the two people that helped her overturn your father's decree are now dead? Vino's father and Jenny?" I said, and he widened his eyes.

"I am just speculating, but what if your mother wanted Dominic to ascend her family position on the council, and Jenny might have pushed back because that would make Vino second in command? You know how badly your mother wanted Dominic to be in the place of power," I said, and he realised where I was driving.

"I hope she didn't do it, Tamia. Please do not tell anyone this. If my mother did it, she would be in trouble because after the blue moon, she would no longer be the lady of the north and would not have immunity. I do not want us to give our enemies a weapon to use to hurt our family," He said, and I could see the fear in his eyes.

"That was why I held my tongue downstairs," I said and looked at him.

"As much as you will want Theodore or Marcel to be in on this, I think we should investigate your mother's part in this between us so that no damage is caused. We need to investigate the allegations made, and once we have enough, you should question your mother in private," I said, touched his hand, and used my thumb to gently rub the back of his hand to calm him down.
