Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 356 Muir Imprisoned, Tannis Punished...
However, there was no response to him; he still found himself surrounded.
Muir looked at Lisa, incredulous, and said, "Lisa, do you want to rebel?"
"Ha, rebel?" Lisa smirked coldly. "Why not?"
Speaking, she approached Muir, her eyes ablaze with intensity as she continued, "Muir, you know my feelings for you all these years. I love you. If you order to establish Ellie as Crown Prince and hand over the real treasure, I will absolutely not harm you. But if not..."
Muir stared coldly at Lisa, refusing, "Don’t even think about it!"
"Is that so?" Lisa sneered, her eyes more frenzied, "Since your heart and soul can no longer accommodate me, and since you are no longer the man I love, why should I be courteous to you, or what use should I have for you?"
After speaking, she coldly commanded, "Capture both of them and throw them into the dungeons!"
...
Thus, Tannis and King Muir were controlled by Lisa, and immediately afterward, the entire palace of Whitehill fell naturally under Lisa’s rule.
After all, Lisa had long plotted, but due to Muir’s presence, she didn’t want to tear the last thread of affection between them, hence the delayed action.
Tannis appeared here because he finally couldn’t bear the inner guilt and remorse. On the night Ava Parker appeared, when Muir called him, he immediately showed up at Whitehill’s palace to meet King Muir.
It turns out Tannis was the royal physician to the king and childhood friend of Muir, a brother bound by life.
Furthermore, just like the king, he harbored a deep love for Una Sutcliffe.
But his love was different from Lisa’s; he never thought of having her, nor did he ever declare his love, but buried it deeply in his heart.
Because he knew Una did not love him. She was Muir’s destined fate.
Besides, he was Muir’s best friend; he could never bring himself to snatch a friend’s wife...
years ago, because of Tannis’s negligence, Una’s foster parents were subjected to such a catastrophe.
Una did not blame him and narrowly escaped to find him, begging him to take her away from Whitehill.
Tannis agreed but failed to protect Una.
Shortly after escaping Whitehill, they encountered assassins sent by Lisa, and while evading them, he lost contact with Una.
All these years he seldom returned to Whitehill, instead searching outside for Una’s whereabouts, but he never found her.
Having failed to protect Una, he was guilty toward Muir and didn’t want to return from Europe.
Until he met Melody Parker in River City, took her blood to confirm through a parentage test with Muir that she was indeed Una and Muir’s child, and afterward learned news about Una. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎
But by then, Una was already dead.
He was heartbroken, and didn’t know how to face Muir or how to tell him the news.
He hesitated for a long time, wrestled for a long time, but ultimately decided to tell Muir everything.
That night, he returned to Whitehill and saw Muir.
At the time, Muir was holding a photo of Una, lost in sadness.
He gazed at him and blurted out, "Muir, I found the real Princess Butterfly, the child you and Una gave birth to!"
Muir’s heart was pounding wildly.
He knew Tannis would not lie to him.
But he was also afraid, afraid that the person Muir mentioned was the girl he had just met.
He looked at Muir and suppressed his wildly beating heart to ask, "Where is she?"
Tannis’s expression darkened as he looked at Muir and said, "She is not here; she is in River City, far from Whitehill."
After speaking, he immediately followed up with, "However, if you want to see her, I can try to bring her here."
The reason for saying "try" rests on Adrian’s presence.
Because Tannis is unsure if Adrian will allow Melody Parker to come to Whitehill, letting her face unknown dangers.
Moreover, he feels that the child, like Una, probably disdains Whitehill’s power and status, only wishing for a stable, peaceful life...
Upon hearing Tannis’s words, Muir immediately became excited, "What is her name? Why is she in River City? And Amanda? Is she there as well? Will she never return?..."
Muir asked many questions, all of which Tannis answered one by one.
That night, Muir first learned the name Melody Parker, realized she was his and Una’s daughter, knew of the hardships she endured over the years, and understood the true departure of Una.
Moreover, he learned of the events that happened 23 years ago, discovering the true reason why Una left him!...
Therefore, he watched as Lisa mistakenly sought a fake treasure without saying a word nor intending to.
He only wanted to see what kind of disgrace she would show and make her pay for Una’s death.
But what he didn’t expect was that Lisa would actually rebel!...
After gaining control of the palace in the shortest time, Lisa went to the prisons to visit the detained Tannis and Muir.
"Muir, you know I love you, how could I truly harm you?"
Lisa looked at Muir obsessively, her voice as gentle as ever, "Muir, if you issue a decree to appoint Ellie as Crown Prince, then I will release you and let you be the high and mighty Supreme Emperor. We can live happily as before, the daughters still respectful to you, and you will remain the supreme existence in Whitehill. Isn’t this better?"
Muir said nothing, ignoring Lisa.
Lisa was annoyed, "Muir, do you insist on being stubborn?"
Muir still paid no attention.
Lisa revealed her true colors, looking at Muir, speaking coldly, "Muir, now the entire Whitehill is under my control. I advise you to adapt to the circumstances. Otherwise, I can’t say what actions I might take!"
Muir remained unmoved and unthreatened.
"You!..." Lisa was enraged and raised her hand to strike Muir.
But just as the slap was about to land on Muir’s face, she stopped abruptly.
Ultimately, she couldn’t bear to hurt him!
No matter how he hurt her, she couldn’t bear to harm him!
Yet even if she didn’t hurt him, she still could not advance her cause even slightly.
Lisa looked at a subordinate nearby and commanded coldly, "Go, take good care of Tannis, let our good king hear his voice thoroughly."
"Yes, Queen." The subordinate understood instantly, and immediately headed towards Tannis.
Whip! A heavy lash struck Tannis hard.
