Sheena’s hand, holding the juice, suddenly froze.
She flashed a nonchalant smile and said, “You’re overthinking. Why would I want to buy
time? What’s in it for me?”
Nathaniel did not believe her at all.
Suddenly, he recalled the argument with Sheena before he passed out when she said,
“You promised
not to deceive me again once I came to Laubabwe, to treat me honestly. Have you lived
up to that promise?”
He had not given it much thought in the heat of the moment, but now it seemed like there
was a hidden meaning behind her words.
Considering this, Nathaniel narrowed his eyes.

Nathaniel stared at her expression, feeling a growing sense of unease. He immediately
reached for his phone and tried contacting the guards he had stationed outside Alzer
Palace, but no one answered.
No response meant trouble!
Next, he called Jamie. “Come back to Alzer Palace immediately and check for any
intruders!

“Where are you going? We haven’t finished discussing our matters!”
Brushing off her hand, Nathaniel said, “We can talk about your pregnancy later!”
With these chilling words, he turned and walked away.
Sheena inwardly cursed. Nathaniel was exceptionally vigilant.

Hence, the only plausible option was….
Lionel looked at Alzer Palace’s small kitchen and meticulously searched again.
Finally, he found a silver–gray cooler box at the bottom of the refrigerator.

window.
However, as soon as he landed, the cold muzzle pressed against his back. Immediately
after, there was the crisp sound of a bullet being chambered.
Five guards beside him aimed their tasers at him.
The gun against his back slowly moved up, now pressing against his head.
Jamie’s voice echoed, “Drop what you’re holding, raise your hands, and turn around!”
Lionel remained motionless, tightened his grip on the cooler box, and instead of letting it
go, he hugged it to his chest, showing a stubborn determination.
Jamie sneered. “Even if you manage to escape us, you can’t leave this palace tonight once
the alarm is triggered. What’s in your hands won’t go anywhere, either. If you don’t want a
