Became A Queen After divorce

“I know I was wrong, dear. Please don’t drive me away. You know, I have nowhere else to go.” She couldn’t go back to Jostrana, and she had no relatives anywhere else, so she had to stay here and couldn’t be driven away.

“Well, then go upstairs!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll leave now.” Camilla hung her head low and slipped past Miss’s side, heading towards the bedroom upstairs, taking steps and occasionally looking back.

Her ears stood up earnestly, wanting to hear something.

Unfortunately, the two in the living room were obviously on guard against her and didn’t say anything.

After Camilla left, Libby finally asked her adoptive father how to deal with this matter.

Declan also felt a headache and rubbed his brow.

“How badly is Lord Parker injured? Did you send someone to the hospital to inquire?”

“As soon as things happened yesterday, I sent someone to follow up. If there’s any news, he will report it back immediately.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a hurried footsteps sounded outside the door.

Before long, Brody, who was guarding the door, led in a man with red hair.

With his rebellious hair color and the uniform black short-sleeved shirt paired with tight pants, he bore the emblem of the Cloud Hall.

“Greetings, Miss Libby, Mr. Gilliam.” The newcomer glanced cautiously at them and then quickly lowered his head, waiting for their questions.

“Bryan, don’t waste time. I’m asking you directly, how is Lord Parker? What did the hospital say?”

“I…”

Bryan personally saw the ambulance take Lord Parker from the bar to the hospital, but he wasn’t too sure about the specifics of his injuries.

But judging from the bloodstains, Lord Parker seemed to be seriously injured.

His hesitant look angered Miss Libby, who had an impatient temperament, and Libby glared at him.

Red lips lightly opened as she asked, “Just say it directly, don’t mumble like a coward.”

“Yes, the doctors in the emergency room worked until after three in the morning. I accidentally fell asleep.”

“When I woke up, he had already been transferred to another hospital. I asked the attending doctor, and he said… ”

“Yes?”

Mr. Gilliam’s hands, clasped around a walnut, began to move faster, indicating his worsening mood.

“The doctor said Lord Parker suffered a serious injury to his… you know, and it may be difficult for him to have children in the future.”

“What! How could this happen!”

Surprised, Mr. Gilliam dropped the two walnuts in his hand, which rolled several times before stopping at Sam’s feet.

He glanced lightly at the walnut on the floor, then gracefully bent down to pick it up.

A clear and gentle voice came from behind everyone.

“What happened? Why do Mr. Gilliam and Miss Libby look so worried?”

The white figure walked in with an extraordinary aura.

“Sam, why are you here? Have a seat quickly.”

“Yes.”

Sam placed the walnut on the table.

Sitting in the empty seat next to Libby, there was a meter’s distance between them.

His deliberate avoidance caught Libby’s attention, and her eyes narrowed slightly with a flash of light, as she coldly said, “Am I some kind of terrifying monster? Mr. Hurst is keeping such a distance from me.”

In the past, Libby didn’t boast about her beauty. Her current status and power were due to her intelligence and strength, not yielding to men. But she felt she was attractive; although not a stunning beauty, she was enough to captivate men.

Sam was the first person she met who could maintain a clear and pure gaze after seeing her, which greatly hurt her pride as the lady of the Gilliam family.

So, Libby targeted Sam in all respects, rejecting any suggestions he made.

Facing Libby’s question, he straightened up and answered calmly, “Miss Libby, you misunderstood. I had no such intention.”

“What do you mean then?”

Seeing that the atmosphere between them was off, Mr. Gilliam quickly intervened.

“Don’t misunderstand, Libby. Sam has a little quirk since he was young-he’s a germaphobe.”

“He won’t have any physical contact with anyone, and I worry about how he’ll get married in the future.”

After hearing her adoptive father’s explanation, Libby reluctantly accepted the reason.

“Oh? That’s quite unique. Alright, I forgive you.”

Sam smiled faintly, but it seemed bitter.

“Mr. Gilliam, please don’t tease me anymore. I’m actually quite troubled by this germaphobia.”

“Let’s talk about the problem you have in front of you, Mr. Gilliam. As soon as I entered, I noticed you looked troubled. What happened?”

It was indeed a difficult situation!

Austen’s family had ties with the royal family, and Duke Austen himself controlled nearly half of Tondende’s shipyards.

The Gilliam family’s business spread across the country, and there was extensive potential for cooperation Austen’s family in the future.

So, they couldn’t afford to sever ties with them now.

If conflicts could be resolved, they would be resolved; if not, they had to find a solution. They couldn’t afford another powerful enemy!

Mr. Gilliam sighed deeply and began to explain, “It’s all because of my unruly and uncontrollable daughter. Last night, Pearl and Lord Parker had a conflict and got into a fight.”

“Lord Parker… is incapacitated.”

“You don’t know, he’s the only heir of the Crete family. If he can’t have children in the future, it’s undoubtedly a disaster for the Crete family.”

Sam hadn’t met Pearl personally, only heard her name.

Her name sounded gentle, but her actions were anything but gentle.

From what he heard from the servants, this second Miss had been gentle since childhood, losing her mother early and being frail, so Mr. Gilliam pampered her.

Until she turned eighteen, she grew up alone abroad.

Returning to Tondende for university, she was now twenty-two and about to graduate from her fourth year and enter society.

However, her unruliness hadn’t diminished with age; instead, it had worsened.

On the first day of school, she fought with classmates, cheated on exams, stayed out all night partying at bars…Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

And now she had injured Lord Parker.

Seeing Declan’s helpless and angry expression, it was clear he was quite troubled by this matter.

“We all know Lord Parker’s personality. This time, Pearl really disappointed me. Her actions were completely inappropriate!”

Although Libby maintained a calm appearance, she sneered inwardly.

You’ve spoiled her since childhood, so it serves you right to face the consequences.

Pearl, this time, I’ll see how you manage to escape!
