Chapter 1660: In the End, She Still Became Suspicious
Justin Kingston finished the last sip of milk in his glass and elegantly wiped the corner of his lips with a handkerchief.
Then, together with Mia Lane, the two stood up and made their way towards the yard.
"You don’t need to see me off; the wind is strong outside."
"Make sure to stay safe over there." She didn’t stop walking, giving advice because she cared.
In the yard, Mia Lane reached out to embrace him, her cheek lightly resting against the man’s warm chest, "No matter what happens, protect yourself first, okay?"
"Don’t worry, I will be responsible for you." He hugged her back.
He said, "At most a month, and during this time I’ll be back a few times. I mean, within a month, I’ll definitely sort out everything there."
Justin Kingston had this confidence, especially since he had obtained the antidote; everything seemed manageable.
Then they stood in the yard and shared a farewell kiss; such an affection truly made others envious.
Wealth, power, and love.
As the kiss ended, Mia Lane let go, "Go on!" She smiled and waved at him, carefree.
She watched as Justin Kingston boarded the helicopter, seeing the cabin door close, the rotor start to spin, causing a strong wind that flipped her collar and tousled her hair.
"Madam, please go inside." Sister Zhou came over to support her back with two steps, "The wind is strong outside."
At the window seat, Justin Kingston watched her in the yard, feeling reluctant himself.
Mia Lane spoke easily, but when he really had to leave, she still felt a bit empty inside, not able to adapt for a while.
After spending only a few days together, she was already unaccustomed to his departure.
Lorelei.
In Prince Louis’s palace, towering, spacious, it was as silent as usual.
Ian Shelby was upstairs in a room, the door locked from the inside.
He had found some useful containers from somewhere, not specialized tools, and was using these relatively simple devices, focusing on research.
He had been researching day and night, neglecting sleep and meals. Standing made him a bit tired, his waist slightly sore, but he was about to reach a final result.
He had an exceptional ability to focus, concentrating on every nerve and every cell in his body.
His lightly furrowed brow carried a strong air of melancholy.
At this moment, in the modern-style palace, Catherine was extremely suspicious, resting her chin on her hand, her long, graceful brows knitted together as she paced back and forth.
Julie, wearing a pale blue uniform and white boots, stood not far away. She had a poised expression with no extra emotion on her face.
"You say Louis stays in the palace all day, doesn’t even step outside—couldn’t he be plotting something big?" Catherine couldn’t resist asking; she always felt this was too unusual.
The information Julie conveyed was —
Besides going to greet the King at the palace in the morning and evening, Louis stayed in his own palace the rest of the time.
"He has no connections here and can’t tell who is friend or foe, so not interacting with others is the best choice." This was Julie’s analysis; she didn’t find it abnormal.
"No, no, no." Yet this was denied by the princess, "If he stays that reclusive, he’ll never have connections. Do you really believe he has no thoughts about the throne? You shouldn’t underestimate human nature; people are selfish, and besides, that was originally his to begin with."
But Louis gave Julie the impression that he was too strange, too indifferent to fame and wealth, which was simply not like a normal prince.
"What about Jocelyn Morgan? Has she been in contact with him recently?" Catherine asked again.
Julie shook her head, "No, though they are both from Riventhal, maybe they really don’t know each other, except for the last time she sent a pot of flowers."
"Sent a pot of flowers, and then Louis didn’t even step out of the front door or the side door. Don’t you find anything suspicious about that pot of flowers?"
Actually, Catherine hadn’t dwelled on it, but she said, "Find someone with time to investigate the relationship between these two in Riventhal, whether they know each other or not."
