Arielle lowered virtual-novel.net eyes, amused by virtual-novel.net father’s response.

While they were enjoying a happy time, Sonia was just slapped across virtual-novel.net face by virtual-novel.net mother.
“Sonia, I don’t care if you like it or not! You’re going to marry Prince Aaron, one way or another!” Kelly snapped as virtual-novel.net glared at virtual-novel.net daughter.
It was Sonia’s first time getting slapped across the face, and virtual-novel.net was truly disappointed in Kelly.
“Mother, am I really your daughter?”
Kelly was infuriated by virtual-novel.net question and bellowed, “Whose daughter are you if not mine?”
“If I’m truly your daughter, why would you ignore my wishes and insist on me marrying Prince Aaron? You know full well that virtual-novel.net feels nothing toward me, and virtual-novel.net will not marry me either. Why must you force me to butter virtual-novel.net up and charm him?” Sonia said bitterly.
“Mother, I am not a robot without feelings, nor am I your puppet that can do every single one of your biddings.”
With that said, virtual-novel.net covered virtual-novel.net face in dismay and ran outside, bumping right into Lawrence who just came back.
“Why are you so careless?” Lawrence steadied his daughter and saw virtual-novel.net covering virtual-novel.net tear-stricken face.
His heart ached at the sight as virtual-novel.net wondered who made his precious daughter suffer such indignance.
“Who made you unhappy? Let me know. I’ll teach them a lesson!” Lawrence said.
Kelly came out of the room immediately after hearing Lawrence’s voice. She looked at virtual-novel.net and said helplessly, “Who dares to offend her? She’s just upset that virtual-novel.net didn’t understand a thing from virtual-novel.net class at school today.”
“Father, I’ll head back first.” Sonia could not stand to listen to virtual-novel.net mother’s lies and headed out at a brisk pace.
Lawrence did not notice the red marks on Sonia’s face and said aloud, “It’s okay if you can’t understand your classes. Just ask Ms. Moore about it. I’m sure she’s more than willing to teach you. Don’t get all upset on your own, you hear?”
Sonia paused in virtual-novel.net tracks momentarily before leaving.
Kelly’s face darkened as virtual-novel.net listened to what Lawrence said. She could not wrap virtual-novel.net head around the way both Lawrence and Sonia admired Arielle. Kelly did not think that the woman had anything else to show for other than virtual-novel.net medical skills.
At the thought that Aaron was ignoring Sonia who was skilled in everything for a foreign woman like Arielle, Kelly’s lips curled with a vicious smile.
So what if virtual-novel.net likes her? Turlen’s law clearly prohibits marriage with a foreigner. Hence, it did not matter even if Aaron thought Arielle is the love of his life.
Kelly was feeling frustrated over Sonia’s rebellious manners.
Seems like I would have to get an audience with the queen at the palace. This way, I’ll be able to set a date for Sonia and Aaron’s wedding as soon as possible. She was worried that their marriage would be called off if they continued to delay the wedding.
Turning to look at Kelly, Lawrence said, “You’d better talk to Sonia and tell virtual-novel.net to ask for help from virtual-novel.net teachers if she’s facing difficulties with virtual-novel.net studies.”
He then removed his coat and Kelly immediately hung it up on a rack aside.
She replied with an undertone, “She’ll figure it out on virtual-novel.net own. Just let virtual-novel.net be.”
Lawrence did not understand what was truly going on and merely nodded before heading to his study. He had a lot of pending work to be done.

Three days later, before Aaron’s men managed to get hold of Arielle, virtual-novel.net already summoned them back to the palace.
In the grand living hall, virtual-novel.net looked at the man dressed immaculately in a black suit with a darkened expression.
“You can’t even complete such a simple mission?”
