Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master
Chapter 822 Who Dared to Touch Her

"Father..." Mary was speechless, as she didn't expect that her father would put all the blame on hersister.

"Is that so?" Lucilla's beautiful eyes narrowed with suspicion, as she listened to Raef. She had heardfrom Lucas that Juey had a close relationship with Rocky, but she was not very close to the othermembers of the Xiao Clan. And when Raef pushed all the blame to Juey, something in her stirredwith suspicion. Thus, she didn't believe a single word that came from his mouth.

She turned to look at Lucas and the other elders immediately.

"In that case, I have no choice but to have Miss Juey come here so that she can face the chief of theXiao Clan," Lucas said after a short silence, as he thought about what they could do next.

"Go and check if Miss Juey has woken up,” Lucilla instantly commanded.

When Raef heard this, his heart skipped a beat and started beating fast. But it had come to thissituation, so he would not show mercy, not even to his daughter. Anyway, he needed to ensure thatthe Xiao Clan would not be affected.

About half an hour later, Juey was taken to the Magnificent Hall. She didn't know what hadhappened last night, and she had been quite surprised to wake up in a strange room with twomaidservants, who were looking at her strangely.

"Miss Juey, why did you stay in His Royal Highness's room last night? Do you know anything aboutthe disappearance of His Royal Highness?" Lucilla asked as soon as Juey stepped her foot inside thehall.

"Miss Lucilla, I have no idea about what you are talking about. I don't know anything about why Iwoke up in that room or where His Royal Highness is.” Juey frowned. No matter what she did, shecouldn't remember what had happened, and the only thing she could remember was that she hadsuddenly lost consciousness after she drank the tea that Mary gave her. She couldn't rememberwhat happened afterward.

"Juey, don't lie to us. I'm sure you sneaked into His Royal Highness's room last night to take Mary'splace. How dare you! Don't you know who you are? How could you take advantage of this to getyourself into the upper class? I am ashamed that I have a daughter like you!" Raef spoke harshly,and as soon as Juey heard his acidic accusations, she was struck dumb.

Her face flushed in shame and anger, especially with how her father was treating her. Although shedid not know what happened to her, it was clear that it was her father who framed her with anunknown crime. A strong wave of sorrow suddenly overcame her, as she was so disappointed by herfather's actions.

"Just admit it, Juey. Otherwise, our Xiao Clan will be implicated. You know that the disappearance ofHis Royal Highness has nothing to do with our Xiao Clan. If you admit it, our father will plead withChief Lucilla for mercy..." Travis added. The truth was he was also in their father's plan.

At the same time, the other members of the Xiao Clan also started whispering to each other, as theydiscretely pointed at Juey, no doubt talking about her.

Juey trembled, and she looked down at her feet and away from their judging looks. She had neverthought that her father would ruthlessly abandon her again as if she was some worthless garbage."Miss Juey, do you have anything else you want to say?" Lucilla asked when she noticed that Jueydidn't utter a word. How could she though, when her whole family was ganging up on her?

"I have nothing more to say." Juey shook her head helplessly, and at the back of her mind, she knewthat no explanation could convince the people in the hall, especially when most of them accusedher of the crime anyway.

"So, do you admit that you sneaked into His Royal Highness's room?” Lucilla asked.

"I didn’t say that, but you're already convinced I'm guilty, right?" Juey said, unable to hide thebitterness in her voice.

"No, this doesn't even matter. What really matters is the reason why His Royal Highnessdisappeared. Could he have been kidnapped?" Lucilla waved her hand in a dismissive gesture, as theissues of their family meant nothing to her anyway.

"I really don't know. Even if you killed me, I will still give you the same answer." Juey sighed indespair, but she was telling the truth, so she would remain steadfast in her answers.

The situation was giving Lucilla a headache. But if she didn't deal with it soon, it would only getworse, and her uncles would take advantage of it. If she failed to protect Prince Woods, she wouldbe blamed by Princess Alyssa.

Then, the situation worsened faster than she expected. A voice echoed from the entrance of the hall."Lucilla, I heard that His Royal Highness was missing. What happened?” It was her uncle, Tod, whohad come rushing into the Magnificent Hall, much to the people's surprise. He was the only one, outof the four hall leaders, that didn't appear last night.

"Uncle Tod, it is still under investigation. I don't think His Royal Highness is missing,” Lucilla spokewith vague words, caught by surprise by his uncle's arrival. Although it was inevitable that he wouldreplace out, she didn't expect it to happen this soon, so someone must have leaked the information.She remained calm, but in her mind, she promised to rain hell for that person that leaked the news."Investigation? What do you need to investigate? Someone must have kidnapped His RoyalHighness, and our Cao Clan will be exterminated if Princess Alyssa replaces out about this. As the chiefof the Cao Clan, what are you doing?" Tod said anxiously.

"Uncle Tod, don't worry about it. Everything is under control.” Lucilla rolled her eyes at her uncle'sobvious ploy to stir up trouble, and a deep frown marred her beautiful face.

"Under control? If everything is under control, why is His Royal Highness missing?" Before she couldanswer, several people came in, and one of them was Freddy, her third uncle and the hall leader ofthe Mystery Hall.

"You should treat this matter with delicacy. Besides, I heard that there was a naked woman in HisRoyal Highness's room, and they said that she is a lady from the Xiao Clan. So, the Xiao Clanprobably did it on purpose to kidnap His Royal Highness. And by the way, I also heard thatsomeone in the Xiao Clan humiliated my son in public last time, and that person didn't take the CaoClan seriously. They must have been betraying us for so long!" As Tod spoke, his eyes wanderedaround the crowd and quickly settled on Raef. A few days ago, his son told him that there was afellow from the Xiao Clan who humiliated him publicly. He had long planned to deal with the XiaoClan, but when he heard that the guy who embarrassed his son was recommended by Lucaspersonally, he lost his confidence and couldn't take any action. But now, the Xiao Clan had thrownthemselves into the fire, which gave him a chance to exact his revenge.

"Hall leader Tod, it's her." A disciple who was standing behind Tod pointed at Juey accusingly. Todhad come well-prepared, as he had already figured out the ins and outs of the matter, and now, heeyed Juey like she was disgusting and quickly commanded the disciples with him to capture her.

"I knew, from the very first time that I laid eyes on her, that she is an unscrupulous woman. Arresther now! We won't let her go until we replace His Royal Highness."

As soon as he finished speaking, two disciples of the Cao Clan came up behind him, ready to seizeJuey. And when Lucilla saw this, she realized that her uncle wanted to take away the only clue thatshe had on Prince Woods's disappearance, which he undoubtedly planned to put her in adisadvantageous position.

She was about to stop Tod and the guards when a figure suddenly appeared. He was quite strong,as he flung away the two disciples who were about to arrest Juey like ragged dolls, and they landedon the ground a few feet away, whimpering like babies.

"Who else dares to touch her?" the figure hissed quietly, but despite the low tone of his voice, therewas a firm and ruthless quality to it, like a sharp knife that cut the air from the hall.
