Chapter 459 It Does Not Make Sense “Adina?” Clarissa was confused. “Don’t you mean Wilbur?” Hah!

Charles scoffed. “Wilbur is greedy, but so is Adina.” “What could she possibly want?” Clarissa couldn’t

understand. “Adina might be a royal princess, but royals are plentiful. Only someone capable enough

will be prioritized.” Charles explained, “If Adina helps Wilbur take down Blissful Sect, her status

amongst the royals will rise significantly. Do you get what I mean?” “So, you’re saying Blissful Sect is

just a tool for her to rise through the ranks of royalty?” Clarissa frowned. “Yes. Furthermore, if she takes

over Blissful Sect, she’ll become more useful to the royal family. Do you understand how important this

matter is now?” Charles asked. “Yes. The only way for us to acquire Blissful Sect is by dethroning

Adina so that she can’t help Wilbur,” replied Clarissa. “Mhm.” Charles nodded.

“I’ve been observing things for a while now. Tomorrow, I intend to fly to Dartan.” “I’ll come too!” Clarissa

tugged at his sleeve. “Take me with you.” “Of course, I’ll bring you along.” Charles smiled deeply. “I’ll

take you to meet the prince, Lachman.” “You know him?” Clarissa was surprised. “Not me, Kate.” He

explained, “Three years ago, Lachman came looking for Kate in private. He wanted her to help him

cure an illness.” “I’ve heard of that. His siblings took advantage of him because of his poor health,”

stated Clarissa. Charles nodded. “Yes. However, in these past three years, with Kate’s medicinal

prescription, his body has healed completely. The reason he fakes illness is to act as a protective shell.

That’s why he’s never publicly announced that he’s recovered.” Clarissa nodded in acknowledgment. “I

see. I doubt Adina would ever guess that.” “Lachman has wanted to take action for a long time now. He

plans to wipe out all the people who have been eyeing his throne.” Charles smirked. “We will go to him

and ask him for his help in dealing with Adina. Then, we can deal with Wilbur.” “Sounds good!”

Clarissa nodded. “You better go to bed then. I’ll get someone to book the flights,” said Charles. “Okay!”

Clarissa smiled. “Good night, Charles.” “Night.” Clarissa turned around to go back into the house.

Charles went out to the balcony and stared at the night view of the city. He was surprised that he hadn’t

needed to persuade Clarissa. She already shared the same idea. For a moment, he wasn’t sure if he

should assume it was a coincidence. Or perhaps Kathleen had long realized Clarissa’s ambitions.

Either way, it didn’t matter. Clarissa wanted Blissful Sect. All he needed to do was get it for her. The

next day. Samuel had just woken up. At the same time, Ashley arrived at Florinia Manor to look for him.

However, she was being held up at the door. She wasn’t even allowed to enter the courtyard. She was

furious. “Open your eyes and take a good look. I am Samuel’s fiancée!” The bodyguard’s expression

was calm. “I don’t care who you are. I follow whatever orders Mr. Macari gives me.” “When he comes

out later, I can guarantee he’ll fire you!” she yelled.

The bodyguard remained composed and did not speak. Ashley gritted her teeth as she made a phone

call to Samuel. However, no one answered. The butler knew that Ashley was here, so he went to look

for Samuel. He knocked on the door and went in. “Mr. Macari, Ms. Zeller is outside the gate. She wants

to see you, but the guards outside won’t let her in,” said the butler softly. Samuel’s expression was very

calm. “Mm.” He did not blame the guard. The butler seemed to have understood something. “Should I

let Ms. Zeller in?” “Mm.” Samuel nodded his head indifferently. The butler turned around and went

downstairs. He proceeded to go to the door and invited Ashley in. Ashley was overjoyed. She pointed

to the guard by the door and said, “Fire him.” “I don’t have the authority to do that,” replied the butler.

Ashley snorted coldly. “I didn’t know a butler’s power was so limited. Don’t worry. Once I get married to

Samuel, I will promise to give you more authority.” The butler looked faintly over to the bodyguard. “Mr.

Macari says you did a great job.” Ashley was speechless. The butler turned around. Displeasure was

written all over her face. When she married into this family, she swore to get a new butler too. Anyway,

she proceeded to follow the butler through Florinia Manor. The place was huge. She knew that Samuel

had built Florinia Manor for Kathleen. Isn’t this way too extravagant? This place is like a palace.

Samuel had really given his best to Kathleen. His money. His life. However, not anymore. From now

on, Samuel’s money would be Ashley’s. His life would be hers too. Kathleen couldn’t take it away even

if she tried. Just then, Samuel came downstairs wearing black checkered pajamas. He wore gold-

rimmed glasses on his nose.

He looked very handsome. Ashley felt her heart flutter. Samuel was her favorite person to look at.

“Samuel!” Ashley whined. “The guard at the door wouldn’t let me in. He made me stand outside for so

long. You must tell him off. How can he act that way?” “I was the one who told him to do so.” Samuel

was cold. “I don’t like anyone disturbing my sleep.” He said “anyone.” Naturally, that included Ashley.

Ashley was afraid of upsetting him. “Samuel, I came to you because of an emergency. Have you been

on Twitter? One of the employees for Kathleen’s company released a video. She admitted that

Kathleen paid her to poison Old Mrs. Macari.” Samuel glanced at her sideways. His dark eyes turned

cold. “I’m not lying to you. That woman couldn’t live it down. That’s why she decided to film a video and

release it online.” Samuel took out Kathleen’s phone and tapped on Twitter. As expected, the hashtag

“Kathleenpoison” was trending at number one. On the phone, Kathleen’s account was already logged

in on Twitter. He realized one minute ago, Kathleen had uploaded a post. It was a very daring post.

Kathleen: If I wanted to poison her, I could have done it myself without anyone knowing. Why would I

ask someone else to do it? Not to mention, I have a thousand different ways to get close to Old Mrs.

Macari. I could have poisoned her water or food. Wouldn’t that make more sense than adding poison to

my own prescription? There was nothing wrong with what she had said. However, no one wanted to

listen to her. Even though Kathleen’s words were true, they refused to believe her. That was because

they were all more interested in the drama between the rich. Hence, the comments on the post were

mostly filled with criticism.

All of them were attacking Kathleen. At the same time, Kathleen didn’t bother to explain. Samuel’s grip

tightened around his phone. Suddenly, he saw a notification stating that someone else had logged into

the account from elsewhere. It was most likely Kathleen. “Samuel, that phone belongs to Kathleen,

right? Let me buy a new one for you,” offered Ashley. As she spoke, she reached out to grab the phone

in Samuel’s hand.
