Finally, speople in the hall began to understand and stepped forward to condemn Celine.

As the man entered, he glanced around the hall with fear. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Celine.
"Celine, you ruthless bitch! When you ne found out Clark knew your secret back then, you orderedto kill him quietly. But that cunning man escaped.
