Chapter 459
No one else would dare speak to the Queen that way.
But Kelsey and the Queen were cousins who had grown up together since childhood, which allowed Kelsey to take far greater liberties around her.
The Queen’s expression darkened at Kelsey’s words. “I’m warning you out of kindness-don’t let this turn your head. Do you really think imperial honors are so easily bestowed?”
The Queen remarked, “If there weren’t someone pulling strings behind the scenes, how could a mere mask be getting so much hype?”
The Queen’s analysis also struck fear into Willow’s heart.
‘But I don’t have any enemies,’ Willow thought anxiously. ‘Who would want to set me up like this?’
Willow was too frightened to say a word, while Kelsey also sensed something amiss.
Kelsey was indeed carried away by success. Even though she sensed something was amiss, she stubbornly refused to admit it. “Perhaps it’s just Willow’s sheer luck,” she insisted.
She was desperate to shake off the rumors that the Osborne family had married a jinx. Only if Willow achieved something remarkable would people start to see her in a new light-and the Osborne family could finally bask in reflected glory.
Besides, she couldn’t imagine anyone having nothing better to do than go after Willow.
Kelsey thought, ‘What would anyone gain from going after her?’
The Queen shook her head slightly at Kelsey’s stubborn refusal to see reason.
‘Hopeless. Absolutely hopeless,’ the Queen thought.
Even after the Queen had spelled it out so plainly, Kelsey still refused to see the truth.
Some fools were simply beyond saving.
Yet, the Osborne family and the Queen’s maternal family were inextricably linked. If anything happened to the Osbornes, her own family would inevitably be dragged down as well.
If it weren’t for this, the Queen wouldn’t have wasted a moment on the Osborne family’s mess.
It was a critical moment in the struggle for the throne, and the Queen would not allow anyone or anything to interfere with Fermin’s bid for the crown.
“There’s still a way to fix this,” the Queen said with authority. “Suppress the rumors immediately, and make sure the medicine supply at Saint Jero Clinic is never interrupted-better safe than sorry.” Having ascended to the throne, the Queen had witnessed every trick in the book.
She issued two decisive orders in quick succession, determined to save the Osborne family from disaster.
