    He used Johnny in front of everyone. "That''s right, I''m the head bodyguard of the But family, and everyone knows that. I''m in this situation today thanks to Johnny and Celine."


    As soon as he spoke, Johnny panicked. His already pale face turned even paler, and his light gray eyes exuded coldness. He muttered, "Shut up! You''re an ungrateful scoundrel, Antonio Knox. I searched for you everywhere when you disappeared years ago. How could you turn against me now?"


    Antonio immediately sneered, "Do you even have a guilty conscience, Johnny? You knew exactly what you were doing. Were you looking for me, or were you trying to confirm if I was really dead?"


    "Why, you!" Johnny tried to argue, but Antonio interrupted him.


    "Celine and Johnny conspired to locate rk, who was secretly hiding Rory. They tasked me with bringing Rory back secretly, even if he was dead. And they told me I could take extreme measures if necessary."


    Celine lost herposure when she saw Antonio reveal everything about what happened back then.


    "Who told you to say all this, Antonio? You''ve been bribed, haven''t you? You really will say anything just for money." Celine pointed at Antonio, trying to divert everyone''s attention.


    "Are you still trying to deceive us, Celine? I do love money, otherwise, why would I have be an assassin at your and Johnny''s instigation? If I didn''t love money, how would I have ended up like this? My life has been ruined because of you and that beast Johnny."


    He took a step forward as he finished speaking, and there was a ''tter'' under his foot, as if reminding everyone that he had be a prisoner.


    "Are you still trying to deny


    everything, Celine? Do you think you


    can clear your name now?" Antonio questioned her continuously without giving her a chance to speak


    Suddenly, I felt grateful for As''s decisiveness, which had caught Celine off guard and trapped her irreversibly.


    I turned my head and looked at the handsome man beside me. He sat upright, holding my hand tightly and providing me with an unprecedented sense of security.


    I didn''t think he had gathered ample evidence capable of destroying Celine over the years.


    "The moment you ordered my


    assassination, I realized you were a


    despicable viin." AntonioBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.

    continued, "You''ve long had ties with the Non-Organization, haven''t you? Did you think I didn''t know?


    "Stop that crap!" Celine shouted in panic, her eyes scanning the hall frantically.


    As just smirked at this scene.


    "You''ve been involved in several major crimes, including those rted to the prominent families present here. Those sudden


    incidents over the years, either,


    deaths of the heads of househne


    or the sudden shifts in power were albbecause of Celine''s coboration with the Non-Organization."


    Suddenly, his words detonated like a bomb in the hall.


    I saw As calmly scrutinizing the now panicking Celine, like a cat ying with a trapped mouse.
