Chapter 75
“Waldo, I’m talking to your” Priscila’s anger flared as his silence only made her thustration hurn hotter.
She thought, His silence does it mean he is admitting to sneaking glances at Jessical
She said. “You like her so much, then why did you even bother with me? Why not go find herr
“Have you said enough?” Waldo’s voice was barely controlled, with a trace of coldness, though his face remained calm.
But Priscilla wasn’t going to let him off the hook without an apology, not in front of everyone.
She thought, ‘He is the one who has made the mistake, What right does he have to speak to me like that?
The sharp sound of a slap rang out.
For a moment, it seemed as if even breathing had stopped.
Priscilla’s face immediately swelled and turned red. She stared at Waldo in shock. He had hit her again.
The first time, at the banquet, he had struck her, but even Priscilla could tell it wasn’t intentional. Afterward, he looked just as shocked, his eyes full of surprise and regret.
But this time, after he struck her, his eyes were icy, cold, and even filed with a hint of cruelty.
“You.” Priscilla felt a sudden chill sweep over her. Her anger disappeared, replaced by a profound sense of despair.
He hit her and he didn’t regret it at all
“You said you’d love me forever, that I was the only one. You said that Priscilla’s voice trembled, barely above a whisper, as if she was too

Walda didn’t care for her anymore. That one cold, merciless look made it painfully clear–he didn’t care for her at all.
“Guard!” Waldo waved his hand, his voice low but firm. “Take this woman back to the Waldo House and lock her up.”

“Yes, Your Highness!” Hughie immediately stepped forward to seize Priscilla, When she tried to resist, he warned her, “Miss Mcbride, if you don’t want to be dragged out in front of everyone and humiliate yourself, I suggest you cooperate.”
Priscilla, though filled with bitterness, stopped resisting and obediently followed.
Once she left, the square began to buzz with activity again, but the area around the Waldo House’s seats remained eerily quiet.
Waldo, sitting there with a dark expression, sipped his coffee. It was clear his anger hadn’t yet subsided, and no one dared make a sour was palpable.

Monica leaned in close to Jessica and whispered, thought with her temper, she’d cause a huge scene. But she just walked off quietly. That’s so unlike
“No, if she had kept making a scene, then that would have been strange,” Jessica replied coolly.
Monica was puzzled. “Why’s that, my lady??
“Priscilla is a strange one, even can’t fully understand her, Jessica said as she picked up her coffee and took a sip. “But one thing’s for sure–she’s not

Jessica couldn’t figure her out because there was always something deeper lurking beneath the surface. There were times when Priscilla acted recklessly, almost like a fool, but then there were moments when she seemed far more calculating than she let on
She was a contradiction–hall wise and half impulsive. I was like two completely different people inhabiting one body
“Do you think the Prince Waldo is already tired of her Monica asked, her voice tinged with amusement, While she didn’t care for Waldo, seeing him frustrated brought her a strange sense of satisfaction
Jessica smiled faintly, “This is just the beginning”
She then focused on Garbisch, pouring him some coffee herself, “Garbisch, have some coffee.”
Garbisch didn’t respond.
“Garbisch?” Jessica called again.
He snapped out of his thoughts, looking at her. “Jessica, what’s the matter?”
“Garbisch, drink some coffee.
“Alright.” Garbisch nodded but didn’t take the cup. Instead, he reached for the long spear that had been set aside.
There was a distant emptiness in his eyes, as if his mind was elsewhere.
Jessica exchanged a glance with Monica. She wondered, ‘How could he possibly win like this, so lost in thought?”
