Grace fumed, "What do you mean by me 'going against him'? I'm just afraid he'll harm Priscilla behind our backs."June pouted and retorted, "Grace, why do you always speak so badly of Frederick? He's not like that at all."Grace angrily shook June off and turned to Priscilla, who was the only one supporting her. "Prissy, tell me, is Frederick that kind of person?"Priscilla was taken aback by the question.Grace quickly said, "Think about it, how did he beat up Mitchell? How did he frame our family's medicine business? How did he perjure himself in court? Does he care about you? If I hadn't intervened, you might have been harmed by him without even knowing it!"Priscilla thought about Frederick's actions in Jenaire City and couldn't help but agree with Grace.Although she didn't want to marry Sirius, he had been supporting her behind the scenes for so many years. It would be ungrateful not to acknowledge that. At the very least, she couldn't let Frederick badmouth her in front

Nelson thought he would just be a frivolous man for the rest of his life.Unexpectedly, such an opportunity for a meteoric rise came his way!This newfound purpose solidified his resolve; he had to win June over, no matter what.Across the room, snippets of conversation sparked indignation in June. Scarlett's earlier words replayed in her mind. An unshakeable feeling emerged. The protector Scarlett mentioned, the one who'd help her sister, had to be Frederick. June silently vowed to get to the bottom of this when the chance arose.Nelson was determined to win June over and continued his charm offensive. He escorted the three women all the way to their lavish Regal Suite, promising to meet again the next day. Stepping into the suite, Grace gasped. The Ephorian-style decor was breathtaking, rivaling anything a princess might have. "This must be the finest room in the offshore hotel!"This was Nelson's first time seeing the Regal Suite, and he had to admit it was far more luxur

Scarlett sprawled on Frederick's luxurious bed, the plush surface bouncing her twice. "Wow, the Imperial Suite really lives up to its name. Even the bed is softer than mine! I'm staying here tonight."Frederick's eyes widened. "Staying here? But... where am I supposed to sleep?"Scarlett crossed her legs, her pale feet twirling continuously.She traced her index finger on her fiery red lips. "This bed is big enough for two."Frederick stared back, speechless. Spending the night together? Absolutely not!As his mind raced, Scarlett had already gotten up and began drawing the curtains.Meanwhile, June was anxiously waiting in the Regal Suite. She leaned out the window and shouted excitedly, "There he is! Quick, is that Frederick?"June's insistent whispers drew Priscilla and Grace's attention to the distant Imperial Suite.Initially uninterested, Priscilla found herself intrigued by the woman in a red dress with a stunning figure."Who is that? She's got a nice figure," she in

Nelson's mind buzzed with schemes to quickly win over June. He saw her as a stepping stone to Priscilla, the wife of the future Monroe family leader.His interest in June had shifted from purely physical to strategic, focused on his own ambitions.After some thought, Nelson decided a bolder approach was needed. He would continue charming the three women by visiting their room. But as he approached their door, he spotted June slipping out.Confused by her late-night movements, a seedy thought took root in his mind.Unable to pursue June with the other women present, Nelson saw the silent night as his chance. His plan was to compromise her, especially within the Monroe family's own hotel.If Priscilla discovered them, he'd play the innocent, claiming consent. Knowing Priscilla's obsession with the family's reputation, she'd likely hush the scandal and force June to marry him.With this scheme in place, Nelson took out a handkerchief and a small vial. The liquid within, designed to

Frederick's murderous intent hung heavy in the air.Nelson was pinned to the ground and knew Frederick might do something drastic. Yet agony pulsed through his abdomen, leaving him paralyzed.He was like a fish on the chopping block awaiting the final blow."June, wake up, it's me, Frederick." Frederick's gentle pat roused June from her drug-induced slumber.She saw him, the man she craved, and her longing twisted into a dark possessiveness fueled by her sister's luxury suite.Under the influence of the drug, June slowly opened her eyes and saw the man she had been longing for.Thinking of how Frederick was staying with Scarlett in the Imperial Suite fueled a newfound possessive desire within her."Frederick, I like you," June murmured, eyes brimming with desire. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. A frown creased Frederick's brow as the effects of the aphrodisiac became clear.Before Frederick could detoxify June, a familiar voice cut through t
