She got up and followed Anthony. As they passed by Pamela, she couldn't help but take another look at her.Pamela was also watching her, feeling that her features were incredibly familiar. When she came closer, there was an irresistible sense of closeness about her.Pamela was about to ask who she was, but when she saw Lena walk past her and follow Anthony, she didn't ask any further questions. Instead, she turned to Calvin and said, "What? Do you think my status as royalty is some kind of tourist attraction? You're just bringing people over as you please to take a look?"Curtis quickly said, "I'm just here to visit you and my aunt with Margot.""Shut up." Pamela glared at Curtis."Don't mention your aunt. After all the love I gave you back then, this is how you repay me? By siding with outsiders to bully our royal family?"Curtis seemed to be on the verge of saying something but hesitated.He felt it was too troublesome to explain things to her, so he didn't bother and just s
Once the two helpers heard Lena was from the Morris family, they quickly reported in fear, "Yes, Ms. Laura is inside."Lena frowned and asked, "Laura? Laura Crosby?"In the past, she used to hear Margot talk about this girl who was just in her teens. Both Margot and Curtis had to address her as their aunt according to their relationship.The two helpers quickly responded, "Yes, Ms. Laura Crosby."Lena quickly said, "Open the door. I need to see her."The two helpers exchanged glances, hesitant to open the door.However, Lena was related to the great Morris family, and no one dared to go against them. The helpers still did what they were told.Lena then walked in.The bedroom was extremely spacious.She looked around for a while, then walked towards a large bed which she saw in a distance.Laura thought Pamela returned, so she hurriedly ran out of the washroom, calling, "Mom…"When she saw that it wasn't Pamela but a stranger, she froze and sized her up."Who are you? Who al
Laura, who was just right beside, hurriedly handed the golden pendant to Pamela."Mom, look. It's Aunt Yelena's belongings."Pamela looked at the pendant that had belonged to Yelena. She was completely shocked as she couldn't believe what was going on.Pamela then immediately turned to Lena with her eyes reddened. "Did you bring this here?"Lena nodded. "Yes, but didn't the owner of this pendant pass away at a very young age? I heard that if that happens, this would be destroyed too. So why hasn't this golden pendant been destroyed?"Pamela tried hard to control her emotions as she stepped forward and grabbed Lena. Overwhelmed with joy and relief, Pamela looked at Lena closely while she caressed her face. "Where did you get this pendant? Have you had it since you were young?" Even her voice was trembling.Lena said honestly, "This pendant was left to me by my master. I don't know whose it is, but I've heard it belongs to the royal family. So, I thought I'd return it.""Who is
When Pamela saw Lena squatting on the ground and crying, she bent down to hug her.With tears running down her face, Pamela said, "Yelena, don't blame Mother for sending you away back then. The moment you were born, iridescent clouds appeared in the sky. This was normally a good sign, but someone with ill intentions told the Morris family that your birth would pose a threat to them. "They claimed that with you around, the Morris family would come to an end. At that time, Regina believed that malicious rumor and wanted to take you away from Mother. When Mother refused, she falsely claimed that you had a serious illness and begged Branden to take you away."Mother gave you to Branden back then to protect you. Please don't blame her and me for not being able to protect you, all right?"Lena was at a loss for words. What was this rumor about her birth will posing a threat to the Morris family? That person even said that as long as she was present, the Morris family would be destroyed.
"I don't believe it." Lena stood up, shaking her head and disagreeing. "The Calvin and Anthony I know wouldn't be that cruel.""Yelena, you don't know the men in their family. For so many years, Emeria rightfully belongs to the royal family, but ever since Grandfather passed away, the throne has remained vacant. They held all the power in Emeria and prevented our father from taking the throne. They even stripped him of his duke title."Pamela stood up and took Lena's hand again, her eyes filled with worry. "If they find out you are Yelena Evans, they won't allow you to live. Besides, Royce caused the deaths of Frederick and Daniel not long ago. They will definitely direct their hatred toward you as well."Heed my advice, Yelena. Stay away from the men of the Morris family. Don't let them discover your true identity, or you could be in serious danger.""No..." Lena shook her head, trying to say something in a daze. Suddenly, the helper outside the door reported, "Madam, Mr. Anthon
Lena wondered what she should do if he really made a move against her.With that thought in mind, Lena composed herself and put on an extremely calm appearance as she walked back the way she had come.Anthony caught up with her again. "Why are you crying? Are you sure they didn't do anything to you?"Lena responded with a shocking remark. "Don't worry. With you around, no one in the royal family would dare to touch a hair on my head. After all, people from the Morris family are known for being ruthless, and everyone keeps their distance with respect. Who would dare to do anything to me?"She let out a chilling laugh and quickened her pace, leaving Anthony stunned and speechless.He couldn't fathom why Lena spoke so harshly and guessed that maybe Laura had said something to her.But even if she did, what did that have to do with Lena? Why did her attitude toward him suddenly change so much?Anthony was very puzzled as he hurried after Lena.When Lena arrived at the main hall, it
Margot asked, "Did you notice that Lena's eyes were red when she came back just now? Do you think she had another argument with Anthony when she went out for a while earlier?""Indeed, Lena's expression was a bit off," Curtis replied.He then thought about how Lena asked him about the golden pendant earlier. He held Margot in his arms and reminded her, "You can have Lena stay with you here for a few days to observe her and see if she does anything unusual."Margot looked at Curtis with curiosity, tilting her head. "Why would Lena behave strangely here?""It's hard for me to say because I'm not sure about some things. Anyway, don't ask her anything yet. Just pay more attention to her," Curtis explained.Margot agreed, "Alright."As Margot thought about Curtis leaving tomorrow, she raised her arms to hug his waist and nuzzled her head against his chest."Curtis, what should I do if I miss Louis?" Margot asked.Curtis hugged her tightly and kissed her on the forehead. "Your parent
Within one night, Laura took Lena to the royal chapel to see the royal family tree and photographs of her parents taken before they passed away.She even saw what she looked like two months before she was born. The Emerian royal family even dedicated a tablet to her in the chapel to commemorate her.Lena didn't return to her room until dawn.As soon as she walked in through the back door to her bedchamber, she saw a man sitting on the large bed. Of course, it was Anthony.When Anthony saw her, he frowned with displeasure and asked, "Where have you been?"Lena didn't answer his question but avoided his gaze and went straight to the bed. She took off her shoes and got under the covers to sleep.Anthony assumed that she couldn't sleep and had gone out for a walk. So, he didn't think much of it. He sat by the bed and looked at her.Then, he said, "I thought about it all night, and I still feel that I should talk things over with you. Part of why you came here was because of me, isn'
