Claimed And Marked By Her Stepbrother Mates novel Chapter 737

Chapter 737: 737-Framed And Misunderstood.

Helanie:

After I heard Emmet speak, I began to realize the only issue he had was that he did not communicate it with me, or that he didn’t have time to. I guess after what happened last time, when he asked me to come to a well to help him but ended up pushing me down, it made him not want to drag me into his plans this time. Because Goddess forbid if anything happened, I’m sure none of us would be able to recover from that.

"Okay," I said, still trying to look very mad at him.

"Okay," Emmet repeated my words, looking at Norman and then at Maximus.

"I’ll go now," Emmet added, and I gave him a head nod, stepping out of the way so he could leave. Otherwise, I would’ve ended up hugging him, so it was better if he left.

As he was walking past me, he uttered very slowly, but very sexily, "And the queen is indeed back."

As he left, I fought to hide the smile, and then I was facing Norman and Maximus.

"I have something to say as well," Maximus said.

"What is it?" I asked him. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

He looked at Norman for his approval first, then stepped ahead to hold my hands.

"Yeah, I didn’t need to hold your hands for this, but you know, I’m stealing opportunities now," Maximus added, making a joke and making me roll my eyes.

"I don’t think you should think of Emmet as someone who killed your baby."

As soon as he said that, my mind started to run a mile. Was he asking me to forgive Emmet and never mention it? Or was there more to his statement?

Then he began to explain himself.

"I’ve been doing some research, Helanie, and everything points to the fact that Emmet was clueless. Somebody framed him, from the point he didn’t show up to the marriage to the point where you were pushed into the well."

Maximus looked so confident that I was all ears, and honestly, my skin was covered in goosebumps. Because if it was true, we fucking accused Emmet, taking advantage of his habit of forgetting. Even though there were signs he had done it, we were also aware he was going through stuff, and it was so easy to frame him.

"Don’t look too worried. I’ll find the footage in a day or two and show it to you. It will confirm everything," Maximus said.

"Okay. I need to go. I need to check on Father."

I could tell Maximus didn’t want to go, but he kept getting messages from his father, and I understood why. I was surprised Lord McQuoid wasn’t angry with us. I guess his sons took after him.

"Okay," I said, and as Maximus was walking away, he turned briefly to say, "Uh, you guys are not supposed to have sex. Just know, because you can’t always get a good deal."

He told Norman, giving him a harsh look before walking out of the room. Now I was facing Norman, who slipped his hands into his pants pockets and started nodding his head.

"What made you come back?" he asked, and I guess he was the only one who sounded very upset.
