Suzanne trembled in fear as she looked at Victoria with horror. This was a good opportunity... If she continued to be stubborn and Victoria really injected that thing into her, she would not be able to resist even if she did not want to obey her. Victoria would use it to control her, and if she could not control her, she would give her an overdose and kill her!Suzanne's teeth were chattering. Her only thought now was that she must not die.After calming down and kneeling on the ground with her hands clasped together in a respectful bow, she said, "I've been with Your Highness since I was 15 years old, and I've worked hard all these years... I know that betraying Your Highness is unforgivable, but please give me a chance! I... I have my reasons!""Is that so?" Victoria sneered. "What reasons do you have?""It's... It's the Irwin heiress," Suzanne said, her voice trembling. "Ms. Cordelia said she could cure my little brother, but the condition was that Joy and I be witnesses…""I
A while later, it was time for Helene to take her medication.Aurelia had specifically asked Rowan about this before, hoping that something could be specially made so Helene could take it without fear or resistance.Rowan had summoned the researchers of children's medicine with a troubled look… and Helene got her special medicine. It was in the shape of a firefly, and it was candy flavored. It even had a special name—Firefly Power Pill.Aurelia took the water and medicine from the servant and told Helene with a smile, "Time for your power pill!"Helene was happy, but she frowned. "I've taken it for so long. Why am I still not a firefly?""You really want to become a firefly?"Helene quickly nodded.Aurelia asked, pointing at the pillow, "What about your baby when you fly away after becoming a firefly?"Helene looked horrified and scooped the pillow into her arms without saying a word."Sorry, I said the wrong thing!" Aurelia hurried to explain, "Mom, when you become a firefly,
It was not like they could defy the princess' order, so they left respectively after some hesitation. When the last guard left, he closed the door of the hall inside.Aurelia kept up her act before breathing out in relief upon confirming that everyone at the door had left.Neil cracked a grin and spread his long legs, about to dash over to hug her, when…"Hold on." The girl's voice was stern."Mr. Harris, stand there and talk if you have something to say.""Huh?" Neil was taken aback. What the heck had gotten into the girl?Aurelia peeked at him. It was fun to see him being knocked back. She decided to continue teasing him."Aurelia, what are you trying to do?" Neil asked in a low voice."Aurelia?" She arched her brow. "Mr. Harris, how dare you address me by my name now?"'F*ck!' Neil seriously suspected that the girl had secretly taken the medicine used to treat Helene."Come on, stop it!" Neil walked forward as he said, "It's not easy for me to enter the palace. I've only g
Neil's eyes widened like saucers in that instant!"You…"He was the center of attention, adored by everyone, since he was a child. For the first time in his life, his head was hit!? Unacceptable!However, when he turned around and saw the girl giggling, his heart melted like cotton candy under the sun."I didn't realize your hand's so strong when you're so thin!" Neil smiled.Aurelia jutted her chin and threw him a triumphant look.Neil went closer step by step, his charismatic face devilish and playful. He forced Aurelia to a corner.Like the last time, he had a hand against the wall and bowed slightly. All that was reflected in his eyes was the girl.Aurelia's face heated up. The big hall was dead silent, and all she heard was her pounding heart."You… What are you doing?" She put up her princess status. "How dare you be rude to me!?"She had no idea that she was nothing more than a feisty kitten in front of him. There was no threat, and all he wanted to do was to pick her
Helene stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at Neil. Then she quickly ran over to Aurelia in an attempt to keep the two of them apart with her frail body.Neil did not dare to act up in front of her and obediently stepped back, nearly covering his head with his hands."Bad man! Bad man!" Helene puffed out her cheeks. "It's the same bad man as last time, bullying my baby!"Neil could not explain himself. It seemed like all the "moms" he had just called were in vain!"Mom, it's not like that," Aurelia said awkwardly with a soft voice. "Uncle didn't bully me. He…"She suddenly remembered something and looked at Helene in surprise and joy. "Mom, you recognize him!?"Helene's mind was unclear, and she often did not recognize people, but she recognized Neil as the bad guy from 'last time'…Aurelia was so happy she almost shouted out loud."Mom!" She hugged Helene. "It looks like Mr. Irwin's medicine really works. You've improved a lot from before!""Mr. Irwin…" Helene became co
Neil composed himself and crouched down to lift her hat, revealing that it was actually Suzanne!"Your face..."Suzanne looked sad and frantic, quickly wrapping her veil around herself to cover the scars on her face.Neil bit his lips, already guessing what had happened."This isn't the place to talk." He helped her up. "Let's go somewhere quiet."Suzanne trembled all over as if she was afraid of the light. Her hat and veil covered her completely as she followed Neil timidly.The two of them arrived at a cafe outside. Neil asked for the shop to be cleared, and the owner served Suzanne a cup of milk tea.Suzanne instinctively flinched when the owner put the milk tea on the table. Neil's brows furrowed, thinking of the scars on her face."Mr. Harris…" Suzanne calmed down. "I was taken by… Princess Victoria."Neil's heart dropped.Actually, the Irwins had sent people to protect Suzanne and Joy after the court trial ended. Now that Carmella was sentenced, Joy could pull herself o
"Don't worry." Neil thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I'll get someone to send you home. Regarding your brother, the Irwins have gotten people to protect him. Victoria would not be so foolish to harm him in the hospital."Suzanne looked at him with appreciation and nodded.When they were about to leave, notification alerts popped up on their phones one after the other.It was a piece of news.[Exclusive breaking news! Prince Alexander has a thing with Mr. Z of Centrolis. Are they having an affair!?]Neil's hand trembled, and his phone almost fell onto the ground.Suzanne's face changed drastically—she was as pale as a piece of paper!"It wasn't me… It wasn't me! I came to you as soon as I escaped from the palace! I swear on my brother that I've never sent anything like this to the media!"Neil's face was grim. He forced himself to calm down.Within just a few minutes, the news spread like wildfire, rapidly gaining traction across numerous news websites and overwh
"Something like that!" Cordelia smiled and continued looking at the screen.The loyal, old butler entered and handed some files."Madam, sir, these are the data the PR team has gathered. These are the accounts that appeared the most in the comments."Neil went closer to take a look. "What's wrong with that?""These accounts appear frequently and comment on things that are harmful to Prince Alexander. They even encouraged the netizens to boycott him!"Not only that, but the PR team also discovered that someone seems to be controlling the comment sections. The team contacted the media platforms and discovered that many netizens can't share the comments they'd like to share."Zephyr nodded. "So, these are spam accounts, and someone controls them. Ha, they think they can stir a wave with a small trick like that?""My sister is simple-minded." Alexander forced a smile. "She used to follow Aunt Carmella, and my aunt would stand up for Victoria whenever something happened. Without my a
