"I’ll definitely keep my mouth shut and won’t reveal a thing to Madam."

"The young miss is my true mistress, and Jasmine understands this very well."

She was an assassin and a spy who had been with Eva Nightingale for three years, not too long nor too short. But she was very clear about her position and exactly who she should be loyal to now.

"It’s good that you understand." Eva was somewhat relieved, "Tell me, where did he go?"

"Please wait a moment, Miss. I’ll have someone investigate."

No matter if Eva wanted to keep the Crown Prince confined in Eastern Europe, spending a solitary world in this villa in a super-rich area, or send him back, Jasmine would support unfailingly. As a subordinate, she had no right or duty to ask more but to do her best in handling every matter for her master.

After reporting, Jasmine added, "By the way, President Liam Coldwell of Z Nation is waiting for you at the castle. Madam called early to inform me, asking you to go over."

"Oh." Mentioning Eliana Beckett, Eva suddenly thought of Mr. Gale from last night’s dinner.

Lost in thought, Eva asked doubtfully, "Jasmine, is there any relation between Mr. Gale and Bennett?"

"The matters of the past are quite complicated, but the general idea is that Mr. Gale used to be the ruler over Bennett!" Jasmine said, "Miss, you might not know, but within the family, rulers were often replaced. Each change was a bloody massacre. Madam becoming the mistress now is mostly due to Mr. Gale."

Eva: "Oh~~"

Meanwhile.

Liam Coldwell was arranged to stay on the second floor of the villa.

The architecture here was diverse and complex, but mostly Gothic in style, vintage yet artisanal, luxurious and extravagant, with priceless artifacts casually displayed everywhere.

In the living room.

Eliana Beckett looked at Liam Coldwell and said, "I have already informed Eva, President Liam, she should be coming soon."

"But you know Eva’s temper, a bit willful."

Liam Coldwell responded gentlemanly, "Madam, it doesn’t matter. I’m not busy these days, it’s fine to wait. Miss Bennett has the capital to be willful, and I should indulge her."

Indulge, indulge.

These few words seemed to grasp the point!!

Eliana Beckett was smart enough to immediately understand that Liam Coldwell meant to discuss marriage with Eva. Last time Eva disappeared, Eliana had searched for a long time without success, and finally reached an agreement with Liam Coldwell: as long as Eva was found, she would be married to him.

The Z Nation President marrying Eva would be a great honor.

Liam Coldwell had excellent conditions, was capable, and charming; if Eva were with him...

Of course, Eliana didn’t ignore Victor Gale sitting nearby.

He hadn’t involved himself in her conversation with Liam Coldwell.

That man just sat quietly, reading a newspaper, drinking coffee, completely different from the formidable ruler he once was.

Noticing Eliana’s gaze, Victor Gale turned his head slightly, his pitch-black eyes narrowing dangerously as he gazed steadily at her.

The intense gaze made it impossible to ignore!!

Last night at the castle, before the dinner was over, Eva had suddenly left, leaving behind Victor Gale to eat and drink to his fill and linger around the castle.

Eliana had to maintain her dignity as a grand lady, so she couldn’t just yell and scream to drive him away, and thus "reluctantly" allowed the boss of the Gale Family to stay.

This staying intensified things, pushing her right into the lion’s mouth. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Victor Gale pinned her against the corridor wall on the second floor, "Madam Gale, long time no see."
