The Almighty Lord Caspian

Chapter 802 Caught Between a Rock and a Hard Place 

“Do you admit to your crime, Jethro? You failed the mission to assassinate the King of Filren and used the heads of ordinary citizens to lie that you killed several of Filren’s senior officials! You deserve the death penalty for that!” Kelvin roared.

“Someone must be trying to set me up, Mr. Andrews! They’re trying to destroy our relationship. You have to believe me!” Jethro exclaimed. He didn’t expect his act to get exposed.

All along, he had remained hopeful that he could mislead the Andrews family long enough to find a chance to leave Dhord City. He would then cut off all ties with them. He didn’t think they would discover the truth before he could enact his plan.

He was already in the doghouse with the Andrews family. If Kelvin found out that he had lied as well, he was done for.

Nevertheless, he certainly wasn’t going to admit to his crime.

“Are you still trying to pretend you’re innocent? I have witnesses who can testify that they saw you killing innocent civilians!” Kelvin informed with a smile.
