Chapter 1743: Eden Can't Escape
Of course, Eden couldn't admit it; he wasn't foolish!
So he shook his head, firmly stating, "I'm only here to assist you! What's the difference whether you or | sit in that position? We're
all family! I am your true uncle!"
"Bertie." Eden suddenly seemed a bit smug. "You are dying anyway! When one's life is at an end, why worry about Lu Layeka? You
might as well entrust her to us!"
Jolie could no longer hold back. Wasn't this performance dragging on for too long?
So, she swept the curtains aside, with a hint of murderous intent, appearing behind the king, then standing by his side!
Another flash of lightning, and Eden could clearly see her as well. His smile froze on his face, and his chest suddenly tightened."...
What audacity!" Jolie scolded.

Claire regretted not being able to stop her earlier; she was too fast!
Crackling sounds... faint electrical crackling filled the air, and the room immediately becbrighter as the power returned.
The sudden brightness, just three meters away, caused Eden to squint. Rowan and Jolie, both with impassive expressions, stared at
Eden.
The abrupt return of power seemed to tear away Eden's false facade, leaving him instantly flustered and guilty.
Footsteps approached, and Ivan and Jennifer appeared together, their cold gazes filled with hostility, as if they wanted to tear him
apart!
Eden's heart sank, his face turning pale. Why were there so many people?
He had been prepared to make a desperate gamble, ready to say something, when more footsteps approached. He looked around
warily.
Catherine emerged, followed by the royal physician, Claire, and several generals, senior officials, and ministers...
In less than a minute, several dozen people had entered the spacious bedroom. Everyone's cold, hostile stares bore into Eden.
Despite the thunder and pouring rain outside, the tension inside the room was even more palpable.
Eden averted his gaze, not daring to look at the people around him, feeling unsure of what to do.
Was this a dream?
"Eden!" Catherine, unable to contain her fury, becagitated. "We knew you were bad, but we never thought you were this
despicable! How can you dare poison even the king? Are you still human? Even if you die a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough!"
Eden felt dizzy from her scolding. At that moment, he was only pondering one question: where was his senior brother? He couldn't
see his brother among the people just now.
Had his senior brother not died?
Jennifer, watching his back, surmised that he might be pondering that question. She felt a particular loathing, especially as his
master's death was related to him.

Even if Lu Layeka's laws spared Eden, Ivan, the obsessed husband, would not. Eden was undoubtedly doomed.
"What are you waiting for?" The king, leaning on his cane, sternly ordered, "Seize him! Deal with him according to the law! He will
be executed within a week!"
Eden's heart sank heavily, plummeting to the depths.
"Yes!"
Two generals stepped forward, personally restraining Eden, this great demon! He didn't plead for himself, as everything he had just
said had been pried out of him. He had miscalculated, been careless.
Now that everyone was present, he had no defense.
Eden felt a chill in his heart. Before being taken away, he cast a look of grievance at Louis. He was almost certain he had been
outsmarted by him.
Then he glanced around, not seeing his senior brother. He was puzzled. "Senior brother?" He tried calling out, scanning everyone
present. "Senior brother, cout, it's almost time!"
Even if he was going to die, he wanted to die with a clear understanding.
