Heartthrob: The vampire princess doesn't want to be a stand-in

But she died at such a young age.

However, he never understood what Evelin's motive was for killing Huo Youshan.

Is it because she likes her as Qiao Yi?

Or was it because of Huo Wanqing's relationship with Garland that he took his anger out on the simple-minded Huo Youshan?

"You said that Huo Youshan was allowed to conduct live experiments with Evelyn's consent?"

Garland glanced at everyone who had their own thoughts.

It was as if he was back to that night again, when an invisible force pushed him to make the decision.

"Go back to Lan Palace. Yes, it was Miss Huo San who came to me with the recording of her conversation with the young prince."

Xiao He nodded and glanced at Evelin.

He was a little worried in his heart, and felt that the current plot development was very unfavorable to Evelin.

But in front of Garland, he couldn't lie.

"It's recording."

Garland frowned, and his scrutinizing eyes swept over Xiao He's body.

He had his own considerations and needed to determine whether there was a possibility of framing Evelin.

"In my hand."

Huo Wanqing stood up, holding Huo Youshan's cell phone in her hand.

Her expression was serious, and her eyes moved across Evelin's face.

Evelin looked at her without hesitation, and she found it ridiculous to see her looking down on her and thinking that everything was a foregone conclusion.

Huo Wanqing didn’t care at this moment, she just felt that Evelin was making her last struggle.

As long as the recorded evidence came out, she didn’t believe Evelin would have any chance of turning things around.

Garland motioned for Yuri to take the phone. As the play button was pressed, everyone's ears perked up and they stared at the phone intently.

"Evelyn, I want to be a test subject."

"To atone for my sins."

"I accepted."

The recording stopped abruptly, but just three short sentences were able to completely restore most of the truth of the matter.

Instantly, the entire conference room fell into an eerie silence, and everyone's eyes turned to Evelin at the same time.

With a little surprise.

“Evelyn, what do you want to say?”

Garland was the first to come back to his senses, and he tightened his hands under the table.

With such blatant evidence before him, there was simply no way for him to save Evelin.

He had thought it through long ago. Even if Huo Youshan was really killed by Evelin, he would bite to death to protect her.

"That's exactly what I said."

Evelin nodded to everyone, and everyone gasped the next second.

Garland's pupils shrank suddenly. He asked her to speak to refute the recording, not to admit it!

"But this is an edited recording. I did not consent to Huo Youshan conducting live experiments."

Evelyn stared at Garland without making a mistake.

Garland secretly breathed a sigh of relief, at least it gave him a point of entry.

"You're still quibbling. The evidence is right in front of you."

“Listen to these words, Evelin, do you believe them yourself?”

Huo Wanqing looked excited and slammed the table to confront him.

Garland shot a cold look at Huo Wanqing, and Huo Wanqing realized that she had lost her composure due to excitement and sat down awkwardly.

She needs to be patient and proceed step by step, otherwise if she goes too far, she will reveal her flaws.

"This recording doesn't directly prove that Evelin killed Huo Youshan. Does anyone have direct evidence?"

Garland looked at everyone again, and it was his words that completely stimulated Huo Anzhi.

"Garland! I believed you every time. I waited for so long, and even the evidence is right in front of me."

"This is what you told me you would give me justice!"

"Just because a sentence doesn't directly prove that she killed Huo Youshan, she can deny such a crucial recording!?"

"Anzhi, don't get excited."

Huo Wanqing was frightened by Huo Anzhi's appearance. Everyone knew that Huo Anzhi was usually very gentle and easy to talk to.

Such a desperate and crazy behavior was really unexpected.

"If you keep making noise, get out of here."

Garland looked indifferent and did not respond to Huo Anzhi's questioning.

But the warning in his words was very obvious.

Huo Anzhi wanted to refute something but was pulled back by Huo Wanqing.

Huo Wanqing shook her head at him, with a look of gambling intent in her eyes that he couldn't understand.

"Gallan, can I have a word with you?"

Huo Wanqing spoke again, and Garland frowned slightly, not knowing what she was up to.

But the expression on his face clearly showed that he was unwilling.

“I have another piece of evidence here, but out of consideration for Evelin’s identity.”

"I don't think it's convenient to take it out in front of so many people."

Huo Wanqing took advantage of the silence to continue speaking.

Garland glanced at everyone with their own thoughts, thought for a few seconds, nodded, and was the first to stand up and leave the meeting room.

The remaining people in the conference room stared at each other in amazement, and waited for nearly twenty minutes before the door was opened again.

Evelyn raised her head and looked at Garland, and was suddenly startled.

Garland's gaze simply fell on her face lightly, without any emotion.

"You guys go out first, this matter ends here."

After sitting down, Garland spoke quietly to everyone, the black pen twirling between his fingertips.

It also implies that he is struggling internally.

Everyone looked at each other, but no one dared to ask any more questions. They quickly bowed, said goodbye, and walked out of the meeting room.

"Lan Dian, don't you need to explain to us what this matter means?"

Huo Anzhi clenched his fists as his anger rose. He was becoming more and more confused.

"What punishment do you want her to get?"

Garland did not answer but asked instead, and this question made Huo Anzhi stunned.

He hadn't expected Garland to ask him that.

"Killing for life is a matter of course."

Huo Anzhi then spoke, looking at Evelin word by word.

"impossible."

Garland didn't hesitate for even half a second and immediately rejected his words, his expression the coldest ever.

"We are not the unforgivable people who must make her pay with her life."

"According to the laws of the Northern Continent, you should punish him accordingly."

"Please do not bend the law for personal gain and reduce her sentence just because she is your sister."

At this moment, Huo Wanqing seemed exceptionally calm, and her mind was clearer than the excited Huo Anzhi.

She stopped Huo Anzhi and stared at Garland without blinking.

Those dark brown pupils were filled with ripples but with a tenacity that would never yield.

"as you wish."

Garland's brows were still furrowed, but when he heard Huo Wanqing's words, he felt a sense of relief for an unknown reason.

Huo Wanqing naturally shared the same wish as Huo Anzhi, and she even wanted Evelin to die more than Huo Anzhi did.

But she couldn't show it, because she knew very well that Garland would never agree.

She could also take this opportunity to give Garland a way out, gain a good reputation, and make him remember this favor in his heart.
