Neil composed himself and crouched down to lift her hat, revealing that it was actually Suzanne!
“Your face…”
Suzanne looked sad and frantic, quickly wrapping her veil around herself to cover the scars on her face.
Neil bit his lips, already guessing what had happened.
“This isn’t the place to talk.” He helped her up. “Let’s go somewhere quiet.”
Suzanne trembled all over as if she was afraid of the light. Her hat and veil covered her completely as she followed
Neil timidly.
The two of them arrived at a cafe outside. Neil asked for the shop to be cleared, and the owner served Suzanne a
cup of milk tea.
Suzanne instinctively flinched when the owner put the milk tea on the table. Neil’s brows furrowed, thinking of the
scars on her face.
“Mr. Harris…” Suzanne calmed down. “I was taken by… Princess Victoria.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNeil’s heart dropped.
Actually, the Irwins had sent people to protect Suzanne and Joy after the court trial ended. Joy could pull herself out
of the whirlpool unscathed, but why was Suzanne…
“Because my brother’s still in the hospital.” Suzanne’s voice was quivering. “I went home to get some daily
necessities one day, but I didn’t expect Princess Victoria’s people to be waiting for me at home. I was careless that
day. I left the bodyguards to look after my brother at the hospital, so I didn’t have anyone with me. That’s how I was
caught.”
“And then?” Neil narrowed his eyes.
Suzanne lifted her veil to reveal the bloodied scars that were shocking to behold.
“These are all done by Her Highness.” She teared up. “Her Highness asked me to help her. If I don’t, she’ll inject me
with drugs… I agreed to help her, and that’s how I escaped.”
Neil’s guard was up instantly. “What did she ask you to do?”
Suzanne took out a few photos.
The two people in the photos were Zephyr and Alexander. Although they were taken from a distance, the two
people were still easily recognizable. The angle the photos were taken in was also specially considered. The
completely normal embrace was captured in a way that looked like there was some ambiguous relationship
between them.
Neil was stunned. There was a bad feeling in his heart. On the surface, he remained calm and smiled slightly.
“That’s all?
“Alexander’s close to both the Harrises and the Irwins. He’s also Zephyr’s schoolmate. It’s not surprising for them to
hang out. What can a few photos prove?”
“Mr. Harris, don’t you… understand?”
Neil was taken aback.
Suzanne chuckled bitterly. “You’re well aware of it, actually. There’s no need to hide it between us. You know very
well what kind of person Prince Alexander is!”
“You…”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“If Prince Alexander were to inherit the throne, he wouldn’t be able to marry a queen in a conventional way, would
he? Moreover, Southeast Aciatic is conservative and will not accept such a king!”
“What do you mean by that?” Neil’s face darkened. “Are you saying that Alexander is not fit to be king? Hah,
whether or not he can be king is not for you to judge!”
“I know it’s not my place, but that’s what I wanted to tell you today, Mr. Harris!” Suzanne was emotional. “This is all
arranged by Princess Victoria. She took these photos and asked me to spread this news…”
Suzanne took out her phone and scrolled through many accounts.
“Her Highness asked me to register all these. She also asked me to hire paid keyboard warriors to stir the public
opinion online!
“She wants everyone to know that Prince Alexander is not a normal man! She wants to ruin Prince Alexander!”
Neil clenched his fists and gnashed his teeth.
“Mr. Harris, I wanted to go to Ms. Cordelia and Mr. Zephyr after I escaped… but the Irwins are far away, and all the
tickets here are registered under real names. If I took the bus there, it’d be easy for Her Highness to track me
down!
“Later, I heard that you came to the palace with General Harris today, so I waited for you.
“Mr. Harris…” Suzanne burst into tears. “Princess Victoria’s ruthless. I can’t possibly serve her anymore! My only
concern now is my brother…”
