Beloved Wife Of The God Of War

Chapter 20



Chapter 20

Donna's heart skipped. She didn't expect in her wildest imagination that Katherine would connect her

into this case. She suddenly felt Derick's face on her.

Was he already considering what Katherine said? Donna thought within herself while maintaining a

pathetic look that helped her to speak that she's innocence.

Derick had not seen any reason to make any underground research on Donna since she was brought

by Ian Joh. Ian Joh and his mother were the two people he trusted the most in this world.

Didn't Ian Joh said he found his daughter seven years ago? How did she suddenly connect with

Katherine's ex husband and even got pregnant for him? Derick had many questions in his heart yet his

look remain as though it was. Expressionless and blank.

Although Donna was his fianceè, he still had to act accordingly as this was a very sensitive case, NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

"Sergeant major Donna, step forward."

Donna's heart skipped fearfully as soon as she heard her name. She walked out while maintaining an

even intense and pathetic look. She climbed the front steps of the podium upward then saluted him.

Although they had a relationship that has been made public, she needs to act at this moment with all

sense of professionalism.

"You heard what Katherine said. Her words had just made you a suspect as well," Derick said while

everyone watch, anticipating to see the end of this.

Donna stood before the third microphone and spoke to it, "I was never pregnant for Mr. Richard. I know

him, yes but that was many years ago. Ever since I left off to Aurora Island, I have not been in contact

with Mr. Richard. I don't know what General Katherine is trying to insinuate by dragging me into her

mess."

She added quickly," there were already three witness who testified that she was the one who sent

them. Without bias, I think she should be judged already."

Donna then stepped back a little from the microphone.

"Katherine, indeed, there are men who had testified that you were the one who sent them to free

Richard. We have enough evidence that you are the who sent the men." Derick said, "Since you have

disobeyed the codes and conducts of our military..."

"Marshall, what if the men were lying? You can't just assume that I'm the one who sent those men.

What if someone is trying to set me up? I have come to understand that there are officers from the

Western Ocean City who did not like me." Katherine said boldly.

"Are you saying we should let you go?" Derick asked.

"No. Give me time to investigate myself. If by the end of this week, I'm not able to present the truth, you

can punish me accordingly," she said boldly.

Today was Monday, end of the week would be Saturday. That would be in six days time.

Derick was unwilling to pass judgement on her cause of the secret relationship that subsists between

them. He was even relieved she spoke up and demand more time, "Granted."

Everyone was shocked that Derick granted her request. Alessios then gestured for Donna and

Katherine to return back to the crowds of soldiers.

Derick whispered some words to Alessio before walking out of the podium. Derick didn't know what to

believe, could it be Katherine who released Richard or were some people really trying to set her up. He

thought as he drove home.

After Alessio addressed the soldiers present and spoke on a few more important issue, he dismissed

everyone.

Katherine looked at Donna as soon as they were dismissed. Donna felt her gaze on her then glanced

at her and smirked wickedly. She then began to catwalk away like someone that had just won a gold

medal. Katherine knew this was her set up.

Will this bitch ever stop trying to destroy her career? She already did years ago and now she's back

with the same goal. But this time would be different, she would be the one to stab her where it hurts.

Katherine then ordered for an officer to drive her over to her building. She was overwhelmed and

needed time to think of how to investigate the truth. She need to save herself from the trap that Donna

had set for her.

Once she arrived home, she walked right inside feeling a little bit of headache. Standing Before the

hundreds of thousands soldiers about to be executed isn't a good feeling at all. How can she let

anything bad happen to her when she had three beautiful kids. If anything bad happens to them, who

would look after them?

She was however surprised to see Derick seated in the living room. She didn't expect that he will come

to her building directly. Although they were married, Derick barely comes home and she doesn't really

mind since she understood the nature of their marriage.

Derick turned his icy gaze at her and asked, "speak the truth for once, Katherine. Did you make your ex

husband escape?"

Katherine frowned, "have you found me lying before?"

"Yes. You lied to your ex husband that the children aren't his. I can't trust you. If not because for my

mother's sake, you could have been slaughtered by now." He said ruthlessly.

"I see..." Katherine didn't even know why her heart hurt. Slaughtered over a sin she didn't commit? "I

already told you to give me time so, kindly wait."

Derick stood from the chair, "listen, I'm your husband afterall. Over there, before everyone, I had to act

like we didn't have any relationship but here, we do have a relationship. And as your husband, tell me

the truth then I can see how I can help you clear the mess. I'm the god of war afterall and no one would

question me."

When he saw that Katherine was only staring at him with a deep look, he added, "what is the truth?" He

added, "otherwise, by the end of the week, I won't be able to help your fate."

"I'll work hard to reveal the truth," Katherine said. She hadn't thought of a way to do it yet but she will

work hard and smarter than Donna and find out the truth.

Derick realized that she wasn't ready to speak so he gave up and walked inside his room.

A couple of minutes later, Katherine laid on the bed thinking deeply of how to overcome this. She was

using that opportunity to relax her body as well.

After many hours had passed, she stood and called on Samantha. In a jiffy, Samantha was present

before her.

Although Samantha had a rank lower than hers, she still thought that she may able to help, "did you

hear about what happened today at the central field?"

"Yes General. Rumors had it that you will be executed in six days if you can't prove that it's not you who

sent those three officers to make Mr. Richard escape," Sharon had heard the rumors from the group

chat. Rumors spread like wild fire in the military.

Katherine was less susprised that Samantha already knew, "so what did you think? Did you think I sent

those men to save Richard?"

"General, did you?" Samantha didn't really know what to believe but she wants Katherine to say it

directly to her face that she didn't."

"I didn't but sadly, no one believed me," Katherine said calmly, but her heart never stopped hurting. It

hurts badly to be accused wrongly. It hurts even more when no one is ready to believe you.

Samantha observed Katherine for a while and said," I believe you."

Katherine was surprised she did. "You do?"

"Yes. How do you intend to vindicate yourself? Three officers already testified against you," Samantha

said.

"I'll be needing your help. But I need to be sure that I can trust you," Katherine said.

"You can trust me, General," Samantha spoke boldly.

"You may sit." Katherine said and Samantha sat beside her.
