Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 752

Chapter 752: 752-Emmet Was Framed Terribly

Helanie:

I was so nervous. I sat anxiously in their shared office after placing the pregnancy test on the table.

"I’m so excited," Maximus said, but after getting a harsh look from Kaye and Emmet, he settled down.

"As long as she’s okay with it, we’ll be happy. If she’s not, then remember, it’s her body, not ours," Emmet said firmly, staring into Maximus’s eyes.

I had overheard them once before, while I was in the bathroom. Norman, Emmet, and Kaye were actually scolding Maximus for being too excited. They said it might pressure me into feeling like I had to be happy just for their sake, especially Maximus’s.

"But fine. You know what? I’ll tell you why I’m so happy. Because there’s good news, or maybe not," Maximus said, placing his hands on his waist.

"Remember I had been researching Emmet." As soon as Maximus said that, I looked at Emmet, who frowned and narrowed his eyes.

"I didn’t know you were so impressed with me," he said.

"Actually, yeah. You’re my brother, the jerk who always helped me but stayed in the shadows, making it seem like you didn’t care." It was nice to see the brothers being more open with each other than before.

"What did you find out?" I asked Maximus. Since he said it was good news, I wanted to know quickly.

"Remember I said I was collecting footage from the bars where Emmet was found?" Maximus started pulling out his phone.

"Wait, what are you talking about? You were researching me? Investigating me?" Emmet asked, still confused.

Norman gestured for him to stand back.

"It’s for your own good. We thought maybe you were innocent, that maybe your curse didn’t cause everything," ss Norman said, I saw Emmet look even more lost. He ran his hands through his hair, clearly confused.

"What is this?" I asked Maximus as he turned the footage toward me.

And then we saw it. Two warriors were dragging an unconscious Emmet into the bar. They placed him in the exact seat where he was later found and poured alcohol around him. They even forced him to drink a few sips before leaving, making it look like he had been drinking the whole time.

And not just that, they left Azura’s pictures around him, along with her bracelet and everything. I felt like my whole world had collapsed.

"Wait! I didn’t do that?" Emmet said, pointing at the footage.

"Well, there’s more. This was from the night you were supposed to marry Helanie. I don’t know how they found you, but this is why you didn’t make it to the wedding," Kaye said.

Emmet started to tear up.

"So I didn’t miss the wedding? Fuck it," he groaned, stepping away.

I felt horrible. He had been punished for something he never did. Someone had been manipulating him all along. And all he got from me were angry stares. None of us stepped up to defend him. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎
