Chapter 174: ARTHUR'S DECISION

Arthur placed his chin on his palm. His other hand tapped on the stone table. "Is this how it is? So, should I not punish Sebastian? It doesn't change the fact that you were in danger and he couldn't do anything to protect you."

Veronica was nervous. For some reason, her sweet husband seemed to be scared.

She replied, "My life is my responsibility. I didn't give this responsibility to Sebastian or anyone."

Arthur smiled faintly and inquired, "Not even your husband?"

"Not even my husband." Her voice was firm. She didn't seem to be lying.

"…" The courtroom was pin drop silent.

Everyone was holding back their breaths. They cautiously stared at Arthur, afraid that he would explode at any moment.

Darius couldn't stand the pressure and whispered, "Are we going to die today?"

"Quiet!" Merlin snapped at him in a low tone.
