Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 343 Lisa Exposes the Fake Princess Butterfly...
Speaking, he glanced at the other subordinates nearby, "Treat them well!"
After saying this, he hurriedly entered the palace to report.
Although there had never been any mention of a Princess Butterfly, those people did come with the Butterfly Jade Pendant, so it was always prudent to handle this carefully.
Queen Lisa was about to visit Eldest Princess Ellie when she happened to see the flustered guard rushing to report.
Seeing his agitated appearance, Lisa immediately stopped him.
She looked at the guard and spoke with a voice neither loud nor soft, yet full of authority, "The palace grounds are not a place to rush around in such a flustered manner."
The guard immediately kneeled, "Forgive me, Your Majesty. I was in a hurry to report an urgent matter and momentarily forgot my manners."
"Hmm." Lisa nodded, not meting out any punishment, "Be mindful next time."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" the guard responded immediately.
Queen Lisa looked at him, seemingly casually asking, "What’s the matter?"
The guard dared not hide anything and immediately said, "Someone is outside the palace with a Butterfly Jade Pendant asking for an audience, claiming she is... Princess Butterfly."
Lisa was greatly surprised.
Princess Butterfly?
Could it be the child of that wretch, Una Sutcliffe?
If it truly is, under no circumstances should she be allowed to meet Muir!
Lisa looked authoritatively at the guard and sternly reprimanded, "How dare you believe such nonsense! The King and I have only three daughters, where comes this Princess Butterfly? Moreover, such an important item as the Butterfly Jade Pendant, how could it have ended up outside!"
The guard’s face turned deathly pale in fear.
He harbored doubts: Could the pendant truly be fake? But it looked exactly like the pattern described in the records!
Yet despite his many doubts, he dared not voice them.
He kneeled there, kowtowing in apology, "Forgive me, Your Majesty, it’s my negligence in being fooled by miscreants! I, I’ll arrest them immediately and have them thoroughly interrogated in the dungeon!"
"No need!" Lisa looked at the kneeling guard, coldly speaking, "Bring those people to my palace. I want to see for myself who dares to come to Whitehill to deceive us!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The guard stood up, received the order, and left.
Before long, Virgil Davies and his party were brought to Queen Lisa’s palace.
As they walked, seeing the imposing palace buildings, Ava Parker kept her head held high, as if she truly were Princess Butterfly, or rather, had already become the exalted queen.
Everything here would be hers.
No, not just here.
The entirety of Whitehill would be hers.
Seeing they were headed to Lisa’s palace, Virgil Davies inwardly cursed.
Initially, he planned to meet Muir directly, bypassing Lisa, confirming Ava Parker’s identity as Princess Butterfly, then use Muir to restrain Lisa, thereby seizing power and wealth across Whitehill.
Meeting Lisa now was akin to negotiating with a predator.
However, having reached this point, he had no other choice but to cling to Lisa.
After bringing Virgil Davies and his group to the entrance of Lisa’s palace, the guard withdrew, and then Ellie, Lisa’s maid, led them inside the inner hall.
Upon seeing Lisa, Virgil Davies immediately stepped forward and respectfully spoke, "Your Majesty, I have brought Princess Butterfly and the pendant, coming specially to advise you."
"Hmph!" Lisa snorted coldly, "Advise me? It seemed the guard was rushing towards the King."
Virgil Davies looked at Lisa, speaking with a face full of sincerity, "Your Majesty, the guard must have misunderstood. I hadn’t even had the chance to say anything before he ran off in a hurry to report. Moreover, look at my disheveled state; if it weren’t for bringing Princess Butterfly and the pendant to Whitehill, I wouldn’t be in such a miserable condition."
Lisa didn’t say much, seemingly convinced by Virgil Davies’ words.
She subtly scrutinized Ava Parker, the girl who could possibly be the illegitimate child of Una Sutcliffe.
Though trying to restrain herself, the greed in the girl’s eyes before her was too blatant to be concealed.
Additionally, there wasn’t the slightest resemblance to Una Sutcliffe found within her.
Could she really be Una Sutcliffe’s daughter?
No matter how she looked, it didn’t seem so?
Though she hated Una Sutcliffe, she knew her the best.
Not only in appearance, even in aura, character... Overall, this girl had nothing in common with Una Sutcliffe, it was utterly impossible for her to be her daughter.
Even if she claimed to resemble Muir, it was impossible.
She had lived her whole life with Muir, Muir was more familiar to her than anyone.
This girl before her had nothing resembling Muir!...
Lisa ignored Ava Parker, looking at Virgil Davies, "Where is the pendant?"
Virgil Davies produced the pendant, holding it aloft respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is the pendant."
Lisa took the pendant from Virgil Davies’ hand and scrutinized it carefully.
Despite her status as queen, this was the first time she’d seen the Butterfly Jade Pendant.
Whether it was the color or the pattern of the butterfly, it was described identically to the records.
It seemed the pendant was genuine.
But this girl?
Lisa looked at Ava Parker, "Are you really Una Sutcliffe’s daughter?"
Ava Parker nodded, speaking calmly, "My mother’s name is indeed Una Sutcliffe."
Looking at the undaunted Ava Parker, the suspicion in Lisa’s heart grew heavier.
But she didn’t say much else, only looked at Ava Parker and said, "Do you have a butterfly mark on you?"
Ava Parker nodded, "Yes, on my shoulder."
Lisa gazed at Ava Parker, speaking very calmly, "Good, to verify your identity, I need to see your butterfly mark."
Saying so, she moved behind Ava Parker, pulling down the clothing on her shoulder.
As Lisa maneuvered, the butterfly mark on Ava Parker’s shoulder appeared before Lisa’s eyes.
Seeing that butterfly mark, a hint of mockery surfaced in Lisa’s eyes; indeed, she was not Una Sutcliffe’s daughter. A tattooed butterfly mark, yet they thought they could deceive her eyes, how utterly laughable!
She couldn’t possibly mistake a butterfly mark. During those years with Muir, she nearly saw the butterfly mark on his chest every day. How could she not tell a tattooed one!
Lisa didn’t say anything further, quietly restoring Ava Parker’s clothing.
She wanted to see what tricks Virgil Davies would employ!
Virgil Davies approached the queen’s side, whispering softly, "Your Majesty, we still need her for now. After all, to open the treasure, we need Princess Butterfly, so we cannot kill her yet. But once we access the treasure, we can insist that she’s a fake. Not only will she face death, but the Eldest Princess can smoothly become the new Crown Prince."
Lisa looked at Virgil Davies, a hint of a derisive smile on her lips.
