NovelEnglishChapter 1020 As dusk settled, two carriages from Hell Monarch Estate arrived promptly at the gates of Edgeview Estate.
The moment the carriages pulled up, the gatekeeper hurried to report their arrival. The main gate of Edgeview Estate was even opened to welcthem, showing just how important the occasion was.
Molly and Fiona stood at the entrance with Stephanie and Sabrina, ready to greet their guests. Since Violet was a woman, Lucian and Randall didn't cout to join them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt.The sight of two carriages immediately set Fiona on edge. She was well aware of Yuvan's plans for the night. Only Violet was supposed to be coming-why were two carriages necessary? When Rafael and Carissa stepped out of one of the carriages, Fiona froze and her carefully curated smile faltered.
What were they doing here? "I thought you only invited Violet! How did you extend the invitation?" she hissed under her breath, glaring at Molly.
However, Molly was visibly pleased with herself. Originally, Yuvan had instructed her to invite only Violet. With Rafael and Carissa also showing up, she believed her husband would be delighted.
Annoyed by Fiona's accusatory tone, Molly's face darkened. "What kind of attitude is that? You're talking to me, the princess consort! I managed to get them here-something you couldn't even do, so keep your mouth shut!" Fiona had no interest in engaging further with this fool. She waved to a maid standing nearby.
"Go and inform His Highness at once!" The maid nodded and hurried inside.
When Yuvan received the report in the study, he shot to his feet, his expression twisting in disbelief. “What? Rafael and Carissa are here too?" Yuvan had planned to remain in the study tonight, leaving Fiona and Molly to entertain Violet along with his daughters. Once Violet consumed the drugged drink, Fiona would bring her to him.
Unlike Yuvan's shock and anger, Wayne was surprisingly pleased.
After dismissing the maid, he turned to Yuvan and said, "Your Highness, this is a golden 1/3 +25 BONUS Chapter 1070 your opportunity! We've tried to visit Hell Monarch Estate multiple times, only to be turned away. Prince Rafael wouldn't even meet you privately. But now, he's cto doorstep. Even if you can't win him over tonight, maintaining a friendly front could open doors for the future." Wayne had always insisted on trying to win Rafael over. However, Hell Monarch Estate was like an impenetrable fortress, indifferent to both soft diplomacy and hard tactics. It was why they had been forced to change strategies.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThey hadn't expected Rafael to willingly walk into their territory-this was a gift handed to them on a silver platter! On the contrary, Yuvan didn't share Wayne's enthusiasm. His face was shadowed with a stormy mix of anger and frustration, as though something he had eagerly anticipated had slipped through his fingers and left him with nothing but empty disappointment.
"Your Highness?" Wayne called out.
Yuvan's gaze turned cold and dark. "Of all the times he could have shown up, it had to be now." Wayne blinked in confusion. "Isn't his arrival a good thing?"
To Wayne, Yuvan's current plan was reckless and fraught with risk. Strengthening ties with Rafael and bringing him to their side would yield far greater benefits. No one was entirely free of desires. Rafael was often at odds with Salvador and the target of the king's paranoia, so he must harbor resentment deep down.
el Even if they couldn't secure the Hell Monarch's full loyalty, driving a wedge between him and Salvador would still be advantageous. Should Rafael ever oppose the king openly- even without fully siding with Yuvan-it would work in their favor. Salvador would undoubtedly focus on dealing with his brother first, leaving Yuvan free to reap the rewards of their conflict. The opportunity to engage with Rafael had been elusive, until now. Why was Yuvan so furious? Realization dawned on Wayne. He stared at Yuvan intently and asked, "Your Highness, do you genuinely want Violet for yourself? Isn't it just about using her to control the Spencer family?" Yuvan's expression twisted into one of embarrassed anger, as though Wayne had just struck a nerve. "Don't talk nonsense!"
However, Wayne didn't miss the flicker of emotion in Yuvan's eyes. His suspicions confirmed, heo m frowned deeply, his tone turning En.
serious as he cautioned, "Your Highness, if you're planning something grand, you mustn't let lust cloud your judgment." "There's no such thing," Yuvan snapped, his voice tight as he forced his emotions back Chapter 1020 under control. "You're right, Wayne. If he has come, it's an opportunity. Let's go.”
