"Then Mrs Lincoln explain why you gave your handkerchief to Leo"
"No it was not for Leo, i gave the handkerchief out to Rick we all know that the handkerchief embroidered with the pattern of soaring phoenixes are for young people so i gave it Rick in the hope he could have a good future" Dawn said.
"Wasn't Rick, your nephew killed by Leo?" Military Governor albert said.
"What did you say? Rick was killed?" She asked shocked but not sad.
"How did he die? When did he died? My nephew?"
She kneeled down infront of Lincoln, Runa also followed.
"How could i collude with then man who killed my nephew? That is impossible! I'm wronged, Darling how was Rick killed?"
Lincoln stood up from his seat angrily.
"Arci was almost killed and Bremo was seriously injured all because of you. It is hard for you to atone for your crimes"
"Yes it is all my fault, but i didn't mean to do it i just took the easy option, but unexpectedly those bad guys made use of me"
"You are such a wicked woman. At this moment you are still trying to justify yourself. Leo tell the truth did she just took the easy option or deliberately asked you to do it with evil intentions?" Military Governor Albert said.
Leo didn't say anything and stared at him obviously he was struggling.
"Leo! At this point, do you still want to cover up for her? Or is there another instigator behind you?" Military Governor Albert asked with a stern expression.
"It's Mrs Lincoln! Mrs Lincoln asked me to do it she asked me to kidnap Miss Arci and kill her" Leo finally said.
"You are slandering me! It is a lie! You are slandering me!" She screamed like a shrewd woman and was about to rush to attack Leo.
Runa quickly grabbed her hand.
"You are telling a lie!" Dawn shouted.
Lincoln staggered back, Arci quickly rushed to stabilize him.
"You are slandering! I'm wronged" she keeps shouting and using her eyes to signal him so he would deny it.
"Mrs Lincoln!" Military Governor Albert shouted sternly.
She immediately keep quiet.
"We have a material evidence and human witness you had better admit your guilt otherwise if we have to bring you to torture it will be embarrassing"
"No… no… I'm wronged he is lying" She started shedding tears and pretended to pass out.
"Leo you are slandering my mom! I won't let you off" Runa shouted.
Lincoln stood up and approached the Military Governor and commander Richard.
"Military Governor Albert, Commander Richard what happened today is because i was not strict in regulating my family. My wife is guilty of a serious crime and it is hard to atone for her crime but considering that she has been with me for so many years giving birth to a daughter and bringing her up please let me deal with her in private to save face for my family"
"After all, Bremo has been out of danger I'll let you deal with Mrs Lincoln after all it is your family matter i don't want everyone to know about it" Military Governor Albert said.
" Mr Lincoln I'll take Leo back to the command and deal with him impartiality rest assured" Richard also told him.
Lincoln nodded
"Thank you Military Governor Albert"
"Thank you Commander Richard"
Lincoln said and walked out of the court.
The drive home was silently, no one says anything.
Dawn is now 'awake'.
Immediately they got home Dawn and Runa immediately kneeled down started begging him.
Lincoln ignored them and keep telling her to say the truth obviously he didn't believe her.
"Fine! I admit it! I admit! I was raped by him. I was raped " She yelled shrewdly.
"You were raped?" Lincoln asked.
"I felt ashamed. Lincoln i felt sorry to you so i didn't dare to tell you. Lincoln i had no other choice, Military Governor Albert kidnapped Arci's brother i thought about it i had to brazen it out and beg him then….." She bursted into tears.
"Continue" Lincoln ordered coldly.
"He even had designs on me how could i agree, Lincoln? But i didn't dare to offend him i had to say…. I had to say i was pregnant with his child and ask him to help me save Arci's brother for the sake of our relationship but i didn't expect it was too late to save Arci's brother" Dawn cried out sadly.
Arci glanced at her father "She is lying if she really wanted to save my brother why didn't she tell us?"
Dawn stood up from the floor and faced Arci.
"I know you never considered me as your stepmother. You hate me, I am sorry to you i am sorry to your mother but i am loyal to your dad, Arci" Dawn grabbed her shook her violently.
Runa crawled to Lincoln and held him.
"Dad! Please forgive mommy"
"Is your father muddle-headed and neglectful in your heart?" Dawn said as she shook her body violently.
Arci shoved her away.
"Dad!" Arci called.
"Arci i like Bremo so much that mom did all that for my sake. Dad beat me Dad beat me" Runa said.
"Calvin!" Lincoln called the butler.
"Master" He stood beside him respectfully.
"Take Dawn and Runa to the house out of town and ask the family servants to keep watch without my permission they are not allowed to leave" Lincoln commanded.
"Yes master"
"Dad!" Runa called out fearfully.
Dawn was shocked, she doesn't want to go out of the town and give this bitch a chance to take over the Lincoln.
Lincoln walked towards his room immediately without waiting for their reply.
Dawn stared at Arci with viciousness and hatred in her eyes.
Arci stared at her head and walked away as well.
Calvin immediately moved them to the house out of town with their box in hand and he left someone guards there too.
They started unpacking their clothes.
"Let's tidy up this house" Dawn said.
The fake tears she was shedding was gone.
"Mom, i don't think this damned place is worth tidying i hate this place" She said and threw the clothes on the floor.
"Since you have time to lose your temper you should think of ways to deal with her instead"
"It is Arci's fault she was just lucky we should have made her die at the warehouse" Runa said.
Dawn stood up from the table and carried the clothes she threw on the floor.
"Runa remember this when you have a bad time remember you still need to stand up straight. Don't let others look down on upon you"
"Richard Bush is to blame if he didn't have an affair with Arci would he help her? Leo is also to blame too he failed to do such a simple thing that son of a bitch! Why didn't he go to hell?" Runa cursed.
"You…."
Dawn turned and slapped her face.
Runa held her cheek.
"Mom!"
"I…." Dawn couldn't say anything she couldn't form a word because she just slapped her unconsciously.
"You slapped me because of that man" Runa said
Dawn didn't know what to say, she quickly scolded her, "Couldn't you stop saying rude words? Stop saying rude words"
Runa stared at her keep quiet.
Dawn tried to caress her face but she dodged her hand.
"I won't slap you. I won't slap you" Dawn said.
"It is all Arci's fault she made a mess in our home" Runa said with tears and hatred in her eyes.
"Runa when there is life there is hope as long as we survive she must die" Dawn said.
