Chapter 528: Chapter 229 Candidate Wayne, You Are Not Pure_3

Veronica tilted her head, more curious about the photos in the document bag than the exchange of power and seduction.

It seemed like societal trash and some young girl were caught cuddling and hugging.

If she wasn’t mistaken, it was Willy.

Seducing someone else’s fiancé... hmph, I’ll skin you when we get back!

Soon, Priest Flora entered the meeting room.

It was Wayne’s first, no, second time seeing Flora in person, and he had to admit, she was a great beauty.

It was no surprise Lina lost her composure; Flora was not only a great beauty but also had the added aura of a Holy Maiden. If he’d seen the former Holy Maiden’s thighs, he would have likely touched them as well.

But upon closer inspection, it was just so-so.

Flora’s figure, appearance, and temperament were undeniable, especially her elegance, which young girls like Veronica or Willy couldn’t compare to. But compared to Philomena, Flora fell short in every aspect.

From LSP’s perspective, in a Hexagon Warrior face-off with Philomena, Flora would be completely outmatched.

From a student of Hefei’s perspective, Wayne remembered that face, with half-closed eyes masking the murderous intent.

"High Priest, did you ask for me?"

Flora bowed as a greeting, and out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Lina, causing her heart to skip a beat.

Lina hadn’t informed her of his visit today, catching Hefei off guard and dumbfounding Flora as well.

"Priest Flora, this is Knight Lina. You two should be acquainted, and might have even met recently."

Hefei sneered with sarcasm, "Knight Lina claims to have evidence of a candidate’s immorality and wants to confront me in person, not trusting my character, and has specifically requested your presence as a neutral party to witness."

Flora felt her scalp tingle. If this was Lina’s surprise, she thought the lickspittle was indeed trying hard and it caught her off guard.

"High Priest, you misunderstand. I am acquainted with Knight Lina through the Church headquarters. Although we’ve met recently, it was because of a friend, and nothing inappropriate happened," Flora said with a wry smile, very conscious of her image. If only Lina had informed her earlier, she would never have allowed any slip-ups.

If word got out that Lina’s actions were at her behest, her public image would crumble.

With things as they were, and unable to undo what had happened, Flora could only hope that Lina’s evidence was explosive enough to take down a candidate.

"High Priest, with Priest Flora here as a witness, here are the photos I captured. Please take a look together," Lina said with a smug sense of accomplishment. He had prepared a gift for the Goddess and delivered it just before the investigative committee’s final assessment.

With this, the Goddess’s student could replace Wayne, and he would have successfully completed his mission once more, protecting the Holy Maiden as a Knight.

Lina didn’t ask for much; he was content to quietly watch the Goddess from behind.

He handed over the folder with both hands. Hefei gave Flora a look, who was peering from the corner of her eye, and cursed silently.

She had clearly already seen it but was still feigning innocence!

Hefei snorted as he took the folder and slowly pulled out the photos inside, sighing inwardly at the misfortune of losing both his student and daughter as candidates.

Even worse, Flora had secured one of the spots, winning twice over.

Veronica stepped forward, and without looking, she stepped hard on Wayne’s foot.

She wanted to see for herself if Willy had kissed the societal trash.

Their expressions varied as they looked at the photos, with anticipation, anger, helplessness, and curiosity.

In the photos, Wayne and the artistic girl, Odilia, sat shoulder to shoulder in the library. Because of the well-chosen angle, several shots showed them snuggled up together, the intimacy was unmistakable.

Odilia’s smile was radiant, while Wayne appeared animated as if he was saying something. Regardless of the perspective, it looked like a young girl gazing at her beloved, listening intently to sweet nothings.

A couple, without a doubt.

So...

"Who is this?" x2

Hefei and Veronica’s eyes widened; the former didn’t see his daughter, the latter didn’t see Willy, but their four eyes fixed on Wayne, demanding an explanation.

Wayne secretly swallowed, knowing that if it had been Willy or Chris, or even Philomena, he could have talked his way out.

He never expected the investigator to have come earlier and captured photos of him and Odilia.

Wait, there’s nothing problematic with these photos!

"Candidate Wayne, as the investigator, I suspect your body is not pure. Do you have anything to say?" Lina’s judgmental gaze and resonant voice echoed, standing tall as if he were the Grand Judge questioning the accused.

Yu Guang glanced at Flora, hoping for a rewarding smile from the Goddess.

However, there was no clarity; Flora stared down at the photo, her face full of... confusion.

"There’s so much I want to say, these photos seem trivial, just a guy watching books with a female friend in the library. It’s the angle of the shot that has caused the misunderstanding."

Wayne explained dryly, gradually understanding Austin’s predicament, while feeling the enormous pressure of being stared at by two Dragon Bloods.

He added, "The girl in the photo is just a reading buddy of mine. She likes reading, I like reading, that’s all there is to it."

"What’s her name?"

Veronica stepped hard on Wayne’s foot, which would have been worse if there hadn’t been so many people around, she might have ridden him then and there.

"Uh, Odilia..."

Wayne acknowledged softly, "She’s a follower of the Naturalism Church, I met her in the library. She doesn’t have many friends, so she often invites me to read together."

"She invites you and you just go?!"

Veronica raised her voice, "Tell me, what exactly is your relationship with her, how far has it progressed?"

Sister Veronica, whose side are you actually on? Can’t you see the teacher desperately signaling...

Oh, the teacher is also glaring at me, no problem then.

"It’s a misunderstanding, really. We’re just friends."

Wayne thought he had a headache, once again understanding Austin’s difficulty. He wanted to argue his case, but Veronica and Hefei didn’t give him a chance; both stood by Flora’s side.

What am I supposed to do now!

"I believe candidate Wayne’s explanation. He and Odilia are just ordinary friends, not lovers. Knight Lina deliberately took misleading photos, causing unnecessary distress to Wayne and Odilia’s reputations," Flora spoke up.

"..."

The room went silent, filled with disbelief.

"Flora, have you lost your mind?"

Hefei blurted out, clenching his fist and coughing softly: "Priestess Flora, what did you just say?"

"Knight Lina, the evidence of framing is too obvious. As a third-party witness, I request to dismiss these pieces of evidence," Flora said faintly, her gaze cold as she looked at Lina.

Lina’s face turned pale as she hastily said, "Your Grace Flora, look again. I was there at the scene, I saw them..."

"Enough, Knight Lina must have seen it wrong. I firmly believe in candidate Wayne’s character; he is pure."

"..."x3

Hefei: Flora really went crazy!

Veronica: What did you see with your own eyes? Speak up, it’s so maddening.

Wayne: Teammate joins the opposition, the opposition comes to my side, what do these women mean, are they trying to woo me?

First Philomena, now Flora; are today’s aunties all this affectionate?

The atmosphere once again fell silent, Flora’s expression terrifyingly cold, Lina trembling with fear, like a child who had done something wrong, not daring to face the teacher’s authority.

The problem is, the child doesn’t know what it did wrong.

"Come here!"

Hefei broke the silence proactively, shouting to someone outside the door: "Check the list of followers in Lundan district, see if there’s someone named..."

"Named what?"

"Odilia!" Veronica snapped back viciously.

"That’s the name, bring her records here immediately."

"No need, High Priest, I am quite familiar with this follower; there’s no detailed information about her in Lundan district."

Flora felt like she was losing her mind, her gaze icy as she looked at Lina: "Her full name is Odilia Ferdinand, she’s my student."

"..."x4

It’s, it’s a bit chaotic. Let me sort this out...x4
