Blackening the Affectionate Male Lead (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 117

Chester met his father and conveyed everything he had heard from Petro.

“I’ve obtained the ledger along with the confirmation that ‘diamonds’ refer to people. I’ve also acquired records showing funds flowing into Karulo, so there’s nothing left to worry about.”

“He must have completely sealed off every possible escape route.”

“And this is the letter from Her Majesty the Queen to Karulo that I intercepted.”

I’ll be ready as soon as your reply arrives—please let me know the time once the ship is sent.]

“It would be ideal if he testifies as a witness. But what’s the chance she’ll escape?”

“None.”

“What about the chance she’ll be killed by someone else?”
