Stanley didn't care about the impact of his actions. After toasting, he respectfully stepped aside.
Selena was busy accepting toasts from the nobles.
Lillian watched the scene and smiled, speaking to Stanley who was standing next to her, "It's a shame
that Selena's boyfriend didn't come with her on such a high-profile occasion."
Stanley's eyes turned cold. "I heard Miss Lillian recently met someone she likes. Who is this
gentleman?"
Lillian lowered her gaze and there was a moment of tenderness in her eyes. "Stanley, as long as you
promise not to compete with me for Selena's position, I can guarantee that she will be yours... What do
you say?"
Selena couldn't go back now; it was a fact.
Even if she successfully killed Lillian and helped those people get justice, she could never go back.
The Riddle Group aristocracy would never allow bloodlines to mix.
Stanley looked deep into Lillian's eyes. "It's an enticing deal but unfortunately... Miss Lillian, may I ask
what made you suddenly have such a 'merciful' decision?"
According to Lillian's character, killing Selena and cutting off all loose ends should have been what she
would do.
Lillian smiled gently as she looked at Selena smiling at the nobles on stage while offering them drinks.
She thought of another face that was equally elegant but pale: "Consider it me... making a mistake
occasionally."
She had killed his sister once before.
If she were to kill again then surely he would hate her?
But Lillian didn't really care whether or not he hated her.
"I just don't want to see that pained expression on his face," Lillian thought to herself.
Stanley stared at her intently. "Miss Lillian, I'm very curious. Who is this person that's worth you taking
a step back for?"
"He has a relationship with... the Emperor?" Lillian smiled, her eyes showing a hint of tenderness. "Mr.
Soo, let me give you some advice. For Selena's sake, don't go digging into this person's affairs."
"Otherwise, both you and Selena will regret it."
Stanley looked at Lillian for a long time before suddenly laughing. "I always thought Miss Lillian had a
heart of stone and would never soften up for anyone in this lifetime..."
Lillian wasn't so much warning Stanley as she was protecting the person she cared about.
The fact that she was willing to let go of the opportunity to use this weakness against Selena in order to
protect someone who clearly had close ties with her only showed that Lillian truly cared about him.
But if he really was from the Riddle Group Empire, then it would mean that there was some kind of
blood relation between them...
Lillian didn't care about Stanley's sarcasm and continued smiling gently. "Just like you and Selena,
we're all human beings... we naturally have emotions."
Stanley glanced over at Robert beside him. "Is that so?" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Lilian kept her gaze fixed on Selena's face but suddenly lost her gentle tone when speaking again: "So
Mr. Soo, are you willing to work with me?"
Stanley's eyes turned icy as he looked towards Selena; there was an emotion in his eyes which made
people tremble with fear: "No, that position will be His Majesty's, and His Majesty…will eventually be
mine."
Lilian gave Stanley a deep look before smiling slightly again: "Then let's wait and see."
As she spoke elegantly while walking towards where Robert stood nearby.
After she left, Selena walked over and asked, "What were you talking about with Lillian just now?"
