Since that day, there had been no news from him for three days in a row.
Eva Nightingale couldn’t eat anything these past few days; her stomach felt uncomfortable, and she thought she might be ill.
At the dining table, Eva was drinking porridge and heard a commotion.
"Wow, the First Lady is here!"
"..." First Lady? Eva looked up and gazed down from the second floor.
Through the retro sheer curtains, she indeed saw a special golden carriage. On it sat a woman wearing a velvet gown.
Beside her was Aunt Fang attending to her.
Aunt Fang seemed to notice Eva’s confusion, saying, "Miss Eva! That First Lady is actually the former First Lady! She’s sinister; you’d better stay away from her!"
Aunt Fang was appointed by the Crown Prince to serve Eva, which meant she was on the same side as Eva, and they shared the same concerns.
Aunt Fang didn’t know... what kind of relationship did the Crown Prince and Miss Eva have?
Was it a secret marriage, surrogate pregnancy, or was he just keeping her?
These were things she did not know.
As it appeared, Aunt Fang speculated that most likely it was a surrogate pregnancy, a contract...
The reason the Crown Prince didn’t want Miss Eva to know about the pregnancy was presumably to keep her from worrying. Another reason was if it became known too early, scheming people might target Miss Eva’s belly... that would be trouble.
"Alright." Eva responded.
She wasn’t someone who liked to stir up trouble; she’d avoid unnecessary contact with people whenever possible.
A group of servants knelt respectfully: "Welcome, former First Lady!"
Daisy Scott smirked disdainfully; really wonderful! She hadn’t been First Lady long enough before she became the former First Lady!
Lucas Knight, truly something!
If she had known that dead woman’s son would be so promising, she should have done something to get rid of him when he was in the womb!
"Rise!" Daisy Scott mocked herself.
Despite her extreme hatred, she always wore the most approachable smile on the surface.
"I wonder what brings Madam to the First Special District?"
"Does Madam need a reason to come?" Daisy Scott scoffed, taking one step at a time up the stairs.
The Crown Prince had been favoring a woman lately, cherishing her every day, holding her dear!
Daisy Scott became interested; no matter how you look at it, she was the Crown Prince’s biological mother’s sister, and now that woman was gone, she was essentially like the Crown Prince’s mother!
Therefore, as the ’mother-in-law,’ she naturally needed to see what kind of charm this Eva Nightingale possessed!
"Madam, you cannot go up!" the Housekeeper urged, "The First Special District is the High General Mansion; outsiders are not permitted in or out!"
The Summer Palace was the High General Mansion, the First Special District, a military zone.
Even though she was of high status, she couldn’t just break in!!
"What? The Admiral already threatened me once with a gun, and he didn’t lose his head, so do you want to threaten me again?"
Daisy Scott hadn’t forgotten how Alexander Kingsley had threatened her in Bali Island!
A gun aimed right at her, nearly blowing her away with a single shot! Coming here this time was specifically to settle the score with Alexander Kingsley!
She wasn’t afraid of offending Lucas Knight, but causing trouble at the High General Mansion, taking personal revenge, as a former First Lady, she still wielded that power!
"The former First Lady is here!"
Eva sat at the dining table, hearing a loud proclamation; that woman had arrived!
The people in the dining room on the second floor all knelt together: "Welcome, Madam!"
Only Eva remained seated, standing out, unmoving, her spirited peach blossom eyes casting a glance at Daisy Scott.
Their eyes met in the air; Daisy Scott’s gaze was sinister—a pair of eyes... that face, why did it seem so familiar?
