Chapter 776 Not Someone You Can Manipulate
- He sent someone in a vain attempt to get to the bottom of it. A knock on the door interrupted his thoughts. He frowned and said, “Come on in.” The man came in, stole a glance at Heather and said respectfully, “Your highness, Ilsa Lynch requests an audience with you. She’s waiting outside.” Heather’s eyes flickered before he said calmly, “Let her in.” “Yes.” Ilsa appeared before him two minutes later. She was wearing a blue, low-cut dress, her wavy curls naturally scattering on her shoulders. The jewelry she was wearing was sparkling. This was the first time Ilsa dressed up in front of him, but for Heather, Ilsa’s preening did not make her look any more attractive than Gloria, who paid little attention to her manners in front of him. At the thought of this, Heather’s face went cold. “What do you want?” asked him. He was blunt with him. The next thing he did was stand up and distance himself from her. Ilsa did not know what he was thinking. She beamed at him, saying, “I’ve gone to the ball with you last time. In return, you would be my escort this time. Is it okay with you?” In the face of Heather’s alienation and indifference, Ilsa did not care. “I refuse.” Heather blurted out without even thinking. Ilsa’s smile froze on her lips.
- She thought Heather would agree to go with her after mentioning this, but he simply disregarded her feeling! The rage twisted her face. He frowned at the man in front of him, mocking. “You always chase after those who you cannot get. Heather, why do you have to do this?” ‘Why do you have to be so cheap,’ was something Ilsa kept to herself, but the disdain in her eyes was unmistakable. Heather’s face turned sullen all at once. At the moment he struck, Eliza’s face turned pale as she quickly backed away. The skirt was too long and made her stumble! Ilsa retained her balance soon, but the fury was burning in her eyes, “Heather Walter, you are not afraid to start the war between the two countries?” Heather smiled disdainfully, ignoring her remark. “What a joke you’re making. Do you really think the two countries are gonna start a war because of us?” With the support of their people, royal dignity allowed of no doubt. If they were the real royal bloods, there was no need for them to fight for anything. But they were not. Those in power would not agree to go to war because of either of them. Heather’s words, however, were like a sharp sword blade, piercing into her heart of Ilsa and laying bare her embarrassment00 What was she doing all this for?
- She laughed bitterly, “We are not real royal bloods. That was exactly why we have to fight for ourselves. That was why I stood here. That was why we worked together as a team. Or, Heather, are you gonna support Gloria White? Do you think Gloria White is a woman you can manipulate over these encounters?” Ilsa snapped at Heather with heavy sarcasm. At that moment, she got to know the real ambition of Heather. But the fact was, He was not going to succeed. Gloria was still kept in the dark, if she ever found out about it, why would she choose Heather? If Gloria was easy to manipulated by a man, how came she led a life even more wonderful after getting a divorce with Jordy! Vou Have Been Wemed Ilsa noticed Heather’s change of expression from sullenness to gravity “The best solution is to kill Gloria White,” she added. “By killing her, we both have our position consolidated The casino owner will be at the party today.” “So what?” Heather knitted his eyebrows and looked even more impatient lisa answered unsympathetically. “Don’t you want to know who this casino owner Heather raised her eyes toward her, his amber eyeballs full of coldness. Do you know?”
