“Of course she hasn’t been convinced yet. But the’s a smart one,” Adein replied, watching Jessica’s retreating figure. That shoelle and beautiful, though her steps now seemed heavy

Adele added, “Right now, only tean help the Yates family. She knows better than anyone that the Queen is no soft touch. If she drnet the Queen’s Ire who knows whether it will be a blessing or a cser

She continued. “Tut I’m different. As long as she gives birth to 1’s grandson, I will shtolutely stand by her side. In this light, I am much more reliable them the Queen.

“So, Your Highness believes Ms. Yates will definitely agree?” Aryana asked, though all Jessica’s previous actions had been full of resistance. She wasn’t so

sure anymore.

Adele replied, “Not necessarily. We’ll just have to wait and see.”

“What if she’s just stalling for time?” Aryana voiced the concer. That girl had too many thoughts in her head. Ten days were more than enough for her to devise a plan.

Adele sneered. “I said ten days, but it doesn’t have to be exactly ten. Watch the Yates family closely in the coming days. I’ll need to give her a little pressure.”

“Yes,” Aryana replied immediately and sent someone to continue monitoring the Yates family.

As they were about to leave, Adele added, “Have Waldo come to the palace. I have something to say to him.”

When Jessica exited the palace gates, Monica and Nolan were already anxiously waiting for her.

“Did Consort Adele… did she?” Monica began nervously

“it’s fine.” Jessica shook her head. “Let’s talk after we’re home.” There were too many eyes and ears around the palace.

Back at the Yabes family manor, Monica finally dared to ask, “Is Consort Adele still trying to force you to marry Prince Waldo?”

Seeing that Jessica remained silent, Monica’s frustration boiled over. “it’s all for our military power. She really will stop at nothing”

“It may not be just about our military power,” Jessica said softly. She didn’t like Adele’s words, but she couldn’t deny that some of them made sense.

She said,

“Consort Adele wants me to assist Waldo. In her eyes, she’s never taken Priscilla seriously.”

“That woman can’t compare to you, Ms. Yates!” Monica said indignantly. “Everyone knows how many of Prince Waldo’s victories on the battlefield were

The annihilation of the Mcbride clan was Jessica’s brilliant strategy that secured the win.

Adele had likely already found out how heavily her son had once relied on Jessica

Without her, Waldo was nothing.

“I still feel something’s not right about Priscilla, Jessica murmured, closing her eyes and massaging her temples.

Outwardly, she seemed like a pampered and arrogant girl, ignorant of the world. But every time after she had a setback, she would retu clever strategies.

Jessica ordered, “Morsica, po and bring Nolan here.

Monica replied, “Understood.

Nolan arrived quickly.

Jessica said, “Send someone to investigate. Find out if any members of the Mcbride clan survived.”

“Yes!” Nolan received the order and immediately left.

“Ms. Yates, are you worried that Priscilla’s goal isn’t just to take Waldo from you?” Monica asked, surprised.

“I don’t know. I just have a bad feeling.” Jessica replied, shaking her head.

Monica gritted her teeth. “You and Mr. Yates have always risked your lives for Waldo, yet in the end, he gets all the credit. How many enemies have you made for his sake? It’s just not worth it!”

“Whether it was worth it or not, it’s all part of the journey. There’s no need for regret once it’s over,” Jessica waved her hand. “It’s late. Go rest. I’m tired

Monica let out a sigh,

Jessica had such a high state of mind. It was something Monica could never hope to match. She truly hated Waldo, who had loved Jessica and yet stiff betrayed her.

Monica could only wait. One day, she believed, Waldo would be wracked with regret and tears. But by then, her lady would never take him back.
