Seeing her confidence, Howard’s side was shocked. Was she not scared of dying?
Howard gritted his teeth and looked at one of the soldiers. "Shoot her."
The soldier pointed his gun toward Caryn, but then something happened. All the soldiers inside the drawing room fell to the ground, each with a bullet shot through the center of their forehead. There were no sounds of gunfire, and the job was done with the utmost precision.
Howard, Garwin, and Charlotte were left shocked at what had happened and looked around in fright.
Just then, a group of gunmen in commando uniforms entered the drawing room. Their heavy boots made resounding thuds on the floor, asserting the power of their presence.
In a moment, Howard recognized them as he noticed the particular badges on their uniforms. "O-Obsidians?" Howard mumbled in fright and recalled that it was the Obsidian group responsible for Garwin’s accident back then. But he had never imagined they were truly connected to Caryn. He had assumed it was a mistake.
The Obsidian group was equipped with the most advanced weapons and technology, and their commandos were so highly trained and skilled that no one dared stand against them—not even the Belvorn army.
"What happened, Howard Everthorn?" Caryn asked. "I still see myself alive."
"How... did you bring them?" Howard asked. "How do you know the Obsidian group? How did you make them help you?"
Caryn chuckled and finally stood up from the chair. "So curious, Howard?"
Howard swallowed hard, only to hear Caryn continue, "First, why don’t you tell this little princess the truth? The truth is that she is not even your real granddaughter, let alone the princess of this country. She doesn’t carry royal family blood. In fact, she is an orphan with no origin records available."
Charlotte was shocked to hear it. "What are you talking about? Don’t spew nonsense here."
Caryn simply smiled and looked at Garwin. "You knew your wife was carrying a son, and when he was born, all you did was listen to your father, kill your son, and accept a random girl child as your daughter. Your wife knew she had given birth to a son. When she realized what you had done, she died from the shock of losing him."
Garwin took a step back, shaken that the truth was now out. "How do you know this?"
Charlotte, now shocked, realized the weight of what had just been revealed. She turned to Howard with teary eyes. "Grandpa, tell me it’s not true."
Howard remained silent.
