Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 266 - "No Wonder, I'm A Fan."

Perhaps due to the dazzling couple dancing in the middle of the dance floor, the banquet became lively. It was more like a wedding banquet than a royal ball. Jennie and Lisa became the center of attraction.

As they were left behind in the table before they could get acquainted with each other, Prince Adrienne and Olivia and some other people in that table were left to awkwardly glance at the couple's direction.

"Prince Adrienne, does the Earl know her?" Olivia asked intriguingly as she stared intensely at the two dancing in harmony.

Prince Adrienne shook his head, "This is my first time seeing the Earl being so active…"

"Really?"

"Yes, he would always show that indifferent and cold and calm expression that nobody could tell what he's thinking deep in his mind," he suddenly stopped in the middle of his statement before lamenting, "Ah, there was one time when he acted slightly different from his usual self."

Olivia became more interested. She and Adrienne are cousins from their maternal family side. They were brought up for a few years under the same nanny so they treated each other more closely than their actual siblings. She smiled and said, "Oh? And when was that?"

Prince Adrienne did not tell her and only flashed a mysterious smile at her.

Even if he wanted to tell her when the Earl showed a different look, she wouldn't understand nor would she like it.

After all, it was never something any ordinary person could take.

Remembering that time when the Earl mercilessly shot someone dead even when they already surrendered. Prince Adrienne could still imagine the Earl's expression at that time; tranquil and peaceful, as if he was just walking in a park and not a heartless man who shot 9 people in one day.

To tell the truth, these nine people deserved it since they attacked the Earl in the first place, not knowing they provoked a big demon in the end.

"I've heard that your dear sister has been bothering uncle to match her with the Earl… Do you think my uncle would agree to it?" Olivia asked him.

Prince Adrienne glanced at the couple again before shaking his head, "I don't know. From what I know of Father, he will get everything and anything that Lydia wanted and wished to get… So, there might be a possibility that the Earl will fall into a trap set by my sister and father."

"Oh," Olivia sent a pitiful gaze at the two figures dancing and sighed. "So, I won't be witnessing a love-at-first-sight anytime now?"

"No…"

"Then, aren't you going to tell the Earl?"

No, that won't do any good."

"Why wouldn't it?"

"I am a prince, a member of the royal family. Lydia is my sister even though we don't share the same mother." Prince Adrienne wouldn't conceal anything from his cousin. "If the Earl's addition to our royal family could end up with the prosperity and honor of the royal family, I will not hinder it. As long as it involves the Ren Country, I will do anything to make it remain as one of the three royal families."

Of course, he also wanted the crown and throne for himself. The prince didn't say this outwardly, but Olivia could already guess what he was thinking as she observed his eyes which were now burning with ambition.

The royal family, no matter what era, every member of it would have their own ambitions.

After the first song, the dance partners in the dance floor soon separated, some continued to walk side to side as they discussed a more personal conversation.
