Reborn, I Exposed Her Wolfsbane Trap Chapter 04

The video was time-stamped at ten last night.

In it, I took two white pills from the living room drawer and swallowed them.

Then I went back to my room.

The camera zoomed in on the pill box. Wolf-core liver stabilizer.

It temporarily reduced liver enzyme fluctuations. It could fake wolf-core stability. A common cheating drug in the Council Selection.

I stared at the screen in disbelief.

How?

I knew I hadn’t taken anything. But what was this video?

Lucas squeezed my hand. His voice was firm.

“The video is fake. I was with Sylvia all night. I can prove she didn’t eat or drink anything after the afternoon.”

Lyra scoffed.

“You’re her mate. Of course you’d defend her.”

“Inspector Grant, check the video yourself. See if it’s real.”

She handed her phone to Inspector Grant.

Five minutes later, the technical staff gave their verdict.

“The video is authentic. No signs of editing.”

Inspector Grant looked at me with disappointment.

“Sylvia, to ensure fairness, you need a second screening.”

The room went silent. Everyone stared at me.

Lyra looked at me provocatively. Triumph filled her eyes.

I closed my eyes.

I had nothing left.

This is it.

Even with a second chance from the Moon Goddess, I couldn’t change anything.

I opened my eyes.

I took a deep breath. Then I spoke calmly.

“I agree to the second screening.”

I had no strength left. The staff took me for another toxin panel.

While waiting, Lyra walked over. Her voice echoed in my mind.

“Sylvia, I had a dream during your first screening.”

“In the dream, you drank my honey tonic. You failed the screening, and I took your place as the alternate.”

“Lucas left you too. He chose me.”

I looked up at her. I gave a mocking smile.

“Just a dream.”

Lyra admired her fresh manicure.

“Sylvia, did you have that dream too? Is that why you refused my honey tonic?”

“Too bad. A loser is still a loser. Even after living again, you still lose.”

I laughed coldly.

“You’re so sure my second screening will fail?”

She covered her mouth and giggled.

“Why else? You just drank half that bottle.”

“Sylvia, stop fighting. Two lifetimes. Your fate belongs to me.”

I couldn’t hold back my anger. I raised my hand to hit her.

A hand caught my wrist. It was Lucas.

“Don’t. Sylvia, if you hit her, she’ll use it against you. Then you’ll really be finished.”

I came back to my senses.

Lyra looked at me with pity.

Just then, the second screening results came out.

Before Inspector Grant could speak, Lyra rushed forward.

“Inspector Grant, is there something wrong with Sylvia’s toxin panel?”

Inspector Grant gave her a complicated look.

Then he announced coldly.

“Sylvia Vale’s second screening has no issues.”
