Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 352: The King is unwell, I preside over the opening of the secret passage...
I’m afraid that until the dust settles, Adrian Davies will always be the one tormenting them, preventing them from finding peace.
As the first light of dawn appeared on the horizon and the darkness hadn’t fully receded, the two, unable to sleep, were already fully dressed, standing by the window with great excitement and waiting.
Finally, after their long wait, the sun rose from the sea horizon.
Seeing the crimson sun, the two couldn’t wait any longer and left their resting palace simultaneously.
While looking for each other, they unexpectedly ran into each other.
Seeing Virgil Davies, Ava Parker smiled gracefully, "Grandfather Davies, let’s go see the Queen."
Inwardly, however, she maliciously thought: A cripple who has lost all power, once she becomes the Crown Prince, she’ll be the ruler of this city, and she will secretly execute him. Let him take all the secrets and those unbearable parts of her past into a pile of bones.
Virgil Davies had a gloomy face, nodding slightly, "Hmm, let’s go."
At the same time, he couldn’t help but think: After today, this fool who keeps fish in her head will no longer hold any value; it’s time to send her on her way too.
With their own ulterior motives, the two walked towards Lisa’s palace.
After Ellie reported, they met Lisa, who had just gotten up.
Seeing the two with eager faces, Lisa pretended not to understand, "Why did you get up so early?"
Virgil Davies smiled, looking at Lisa respectfully, "On such a big day, how could we dare to oversleep and miss the big event?"
Ava Parker stood there nonchalantly, as if it wasn’t her who got up so early, waiting anxiously.
These two buffoons really are in a hurry to die. In that case, why should she stop them? Once she gets the treasure, what use does she have for the two of them!
Thinking this, Lisa looked at Virgil Davies and Ava Parker, sneering, "You two wait here, I’ll go see Muir first."
After speaking, Lisa left directly.
However, after she left, she didn’t go to see Muir as she said but took a turn directly to the back of her palace.
There, a dozen people were already waiting; these were the backbone ministers of Whitehill, all loyal confidants carefully cultivated by Lisa.
Lisa looked at one of the generals in charge of palace guards and coldly ordered, "After the treasure is opened, kill Virgil Davies and that fake Princess Butterfly. Remember, avoid Muir!"
"Yes!" the man responded respectfully.
Lisa looked at everyone present, "If anything goes wrong, follow the plan we discussed earlier."
"Yes, my queen." Everyone present responded respectfully.
Feeling satisfied, Lisa turned around, excited with the thought of soon elevating her daughter to the throne, and went to King Muir’s bedchamber.
Inside the bedchamber, Muir was staring dazedly at a photograph of Una Sutcliffe.
He had been staring for a long time.
Since returning to the chamber last night, he had been gazing and reminiscing about the person in the photograph.
He knew the girl was not the real Princess Butterfly and not his and Una’s daughter, yet her words still pained him deeply.
He feared what the girl said was true, feared that his Una had indeed left the world as she had claimed.
He repeatedly told himself the girl was fake, and her words must also be lies, that Una must still be alive somewhere in the world.
Yet he couldn’t help but believe that Una might really be dead.
Because of that dream, because of his heart empty and unanchored.
Fate has gone, destined that he cannot achieve all happiness...
Moreover, that night he secretly contacted Tannis, asking him to return to the palace immediately, then verified everything, his Amanda was indeed dead, just as the girl had said...
Seeing Muir in a daze, with bloodshot eyes, Lisa couldn’t help clenching her fists.
He’s thinking about that woman again!
Compared to that woman, in what way is she inferior?
She’s been by his side since childhood, knowing all his preferences;
She could give him everything and manage the entire Whitehill for him.
And that woman? What could she do for him?
Compared to her, that woman was just a pitiable creature who could only cry behind his back, forever unable to stand by his side.
She is truly the one who can help and loves him wholeheartedly.
But why can’t she enter his heart?
Why is she always in his eyes and heart only thinking of such a woman?...
Remembering the upcoming business, Lisa suppressed her jealousy and finally walked toward Muir.
She looked at Muir and spoke gently, "Muir, are you thinking about Amanda again?"
Hearing Lisa’s voice, Muir put away the photo of Una, looking at Lisa indifferently, "Queen, is there something you need?"
Lisa nodded, "There are a few things, yes."
Looking at Muir, she smiled gently and understandingly, saying, "Muir, didn’t we agree yesterday to crown Princess Butterfly today? She’s now waiting to open the secret passage. After all, you’ve just reunited with her, and it’s not good to keep her waiting too long. So, what do you think..."
Before Lisa could finish, Muir interrupted her, saying flatly, "I’m not feeling well today; you should preside over everything."
Upon hearing this, Lisa was overjoyed.
It would be even better if Muir didn’t go; it would certainly make many things more convenient for her.
However, she didn’t show a hint of joy on her face.
Looking at Muir, she first expressed concern, "You’re not feeling well? Do you need a doctor?"
Muir shook his head, "No need, it’s an old issue."
Upon hearing this, Lisa continued to feign concern, "Such a big event should be presided over by you, but since you’re unwell..."
Muir interrupted Lisa again, "It’s okay; you presiding over it is fine."
"Alright, your health is the priority. I’ll go with the princess to open the treasure."
After speaking, Lisa again looked at Muir, pretentiously saying, "It’s such an important day, and she’s your and Amanda’s daughter. Are you sure you’re not going?"
Muir’s expression was immensely sad, "Originally, that passage should have been opened by Amanda and me personally, but since she’s no longer here, it doesn’t matter now, do as you see fit."
Saying this, he waved his hand, "Go."
Lisa merely assumed Muir was engulfed in the reality of Una’s death and didn’t doubt his actions, turning away from Muir’s bedchamber.
She returned to the palace, looking at Virgil Davies and Ava Parker, "There’s no need to see the King; he’s unwell, and the matter of opening the secret passage is completely up to me to handle."
