However, Zeke merely sneered.
“Princess Lia, can I ask you a question?”
“Do you think that just because you are the princess of a country, that all men in the world ought to flock to you to
the extent where they’ll even be willing to be your slave?”
The princess replied, “Isn’t that so?”
“I am wealthy, powerful, and beautiful. No man on earth can resist such temptations.”
Zeke shook his head, “A word of advice from me princess. Some men are better than others. The sky is not the
limit.”
“The wealth, power, and beauty that you are so proud of may not mean a thing in the eyes of some.”
At that, Zeke turned to leave, taking Lacey with him.
Princess Lia was dumbfounded by his reply.
Did I got rejected?
I’m The Princess of the Kingdom, Atlantis and someone dares reject me?
The audacity of that man!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHmph, it doesn’t matter. The more you reject me, the more I want to have you. You shall be my conquest, Zeke
Williams!
With that thought in mind, Princess Lia decided to put the matter of Zeke out of her mind first and cast her frosty
gaze upon Clyde Thisleton.
“Clyde Thisleton, let me ask you. Where did you save my life before?”
Clyde stammered, “I... I... I can’t remember.”
Princess Lia snorted, “How dare you lie to me?”
“For deceiving a princess, you should have been sentenced for decapitation.”
“However, for the sake of Uncle Ares, I shall spare your life.”
“Though you may keep your life, you shall still receive punishment. Guards, cut off a finger.”
“I trust that you have no objections with that, Uncle Ares?”
Ares was angry too, so he merely nodded his head, “No objections.”
Very well, then.
Princess Lia gestured to the guards.
A guard walked towards Clyde with a knife in hand.
Following a scream of pain, one of Clyde’s fingers fell to the ground.
To prevent Clyde from reattaching the finger, the guard picked the finger up and kept it.
As Ares’ gaze swept across the Thisleton family’s descendants, a pang of sadness pierced through his heart as
realization dawned on him that the legacy of Thisleton shall end with him.
I can’t believe that while I’ve been a prisoner for two years, the Thisleton family has become so superficial,
ignorant, and vain.
Even summing up the total achievements of this whole bunch won’t be able to compare to my first child, Lacey
Hinton.
The thought of Lacey reminded Ares that after a week or so, it will be her birthday.
This was the first time he would be celebrating for her so he was determined to give her a grand present.
Previously, when Hannah would celebrate Lacey’s birthday, it was on the date that they found her.
However, the date that Ares had in mind was the day she was born.
Meanwhile, after leaving the Thisleton Manor, Zeke and Lacey headed towards the Linton Group headquarters.
All the way, Lacey was a little depressed.
Noticing his wife’s state, Zeke asked, “Lacey, what’s the matter?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLacey felt wronged, “That Princess Lia is the daughter of a King, she has money and power. Why did you reject her
proposal?”
“I felt that it was regrettable.”
Zeke burst out in laughter.
Is Lacey jealous?
Zeke gave Lacey’s delicate nose a pinch and said, “Silly girl, I’ve refused her openly and even made a dig at her.
Why are you still so jealous?”
Lacey retorted, “Hmph, I’m not jealous. Aren’t you a bit too full of yourself?”
At this very moment, Lacey’s mobile phone rang.
It was Ares calling her.
On the phone, Ares told Lacey that in a week’s time, it would be her real birthday.
Ares was preparing to give Lacey a grand birthday celebration.
After ending the call, Lacey subconsciously covered her lower abdomen and gave Zeke a mysterious smile.
“Zeke, in a week’s time, it will be my birthday.”
“I want to thank you for the grand birthday gift that was given by you in advance.”
The grand birthday gift that Lacey mentioned was, of course, about the new life that was growing in her womb.
