Chapter 4

Tavian had Linnea brought before him. When Linnea saw the icy look in Tavian's eyes, fear twisted in her chest, but she forced herself to act calm.

She asked, "Tavian, is there something you wanted to talk about?"

"Something?" Tavian let out a cold laugh, tossing the investigation report in front of Linnea. "Take a look for yourself. See what you've really been up to."

Linnea picked up the report, her face growing paler with every line she read. She knew her scheme had been exposed.

"It's not like that, Tavian. This is all a misunderstanding," Linnea tried to explain.
