Eva Nightingale felt a bit nervous.
It was her first time here, and she didn’t know anyone except him.
A group of wealthy ladies sat with the grandmother, drinking and chatting.
Suddenly, the door burst open.
A pair of long legs caught the eye, followed by a curvaceous figure with long, wavy hair appearing with Lucas Knight.
"Call her grandmother," Lucas Knight said softly.
Eva followed the man’s gaze.
She was a very beautiful woman, despite her age, still full of charm and indescribably beautiful.
Her aura was overwhelming.
Eva was stunned for a moment.
Then, the man’s commanding voice came again: "It’s time for you, as the First Lady, to meet the family!"
Eva froze for a moment. Was she really meeting the family ? She politely said, "Hello, grandmother. I’m Eva Nightingale."
The grandmother and the other ladies were also surprised for a moment, then realized they hadn’t been mistaken... they hadn’t been mistaken.
The Crown Prince really brought... a woman! But wasn’t the Crown Prince supposed to be single? And he always kept away from women, so why... why did he suddenly bring a woman over now?
This woman was dressed in finery, and the necklace around her neck was clearly the Heart of the Ocean.
"Granddaughter-in-law?" The grandmother was puzzled for a moment, as he was urged tightly, but had never heard of a woman by his side.
"Yes, granddaughter-in-law," Lucas Knight replied sparingly.
Eva was also stunned. He said this in front of the grandmother... acknowledging her.
Whew. The grandmother paused with her teacup in hand. Granddaughter-in-law? Did this woman really catch his eye?
The grandmother didn’t know how happy she felt.
He finally came to his senses! Realized he should bring a woman home.
No longer needing to be nagged every day, but... given Lucas Knight’s status, his woman naturally couldn’t just be an ordinary woman.
The grandmother thought for a while, oh, forget it.
As long as he likes her, that’s fine.
Even if her status is quite ordinary, she would accept it.
"Young lady, come over and let me take a look." The grandmother beckoned to Eva.
Eva walked over, and the grandmother looked at her, growing happier the more she looked, satisfied indeed.
Oh, the more she looked, the more she liked her.
Such an obedient girl, how did he find her!
Eva felt as if this were all a dream.
She never expected... the grandmother to be so approachable, so kind.
To say, she hadn’t felt this way in a long, long time.
The grandmother was so fond of her, pulling her aside to chat happily.
They chatted for a long time... until the grandmother finally went to the center of the banquet hall.
When Eva came out, a wave of nausea rose in her stomach.
Pregnancy made her particularly uncomfortable.
She covered her mouth, retching.
In no time, beads of sweat gathered densely on her forehead. She leaned against the wall, barely able to stand.
A woman in high heels walked towards her.
Eva felt uncomfortable and nauseous... she assumed the figure beside her was just an heiress passing by the banquet.
Feeling so unwell she could barely stand, she didn’t pay much attention to it...
Isabelle Nightingale suddenly grabbed Eva, wishing she could strangle her: "It’s all because of you, you caused Dad’s death! You made my mom suffer too... I’m going to kill you tonight!"
"...Cough." Was it Isabelle? How could she be here!
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I have caused Dad’s death!"
Even if she didn’t like Amos Nightingale, or even resented him, she wouldn’t have killed him.
