Became A Queen After divorce

Before leaving, the White Wizard had said the same thing as Sam.

“If you can find a Black Wizard and ask him to make the Golden Silkworm Magic, Lord Parker will be saved.”

The Golden Silkworm Magic was something the duchess had never heard of.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.

After some investigation, she discovered that the Golden Silkworm Magic originated from the ancient Chulae Hmong.

But she had never been to Chulae in her life. How could she find a Black Wizard who knew how to make the Golden Silkworm Magic?

Sam’s arrival gave her hope.

Knowing how much the couple doted on their only son, Sam knew they would definitely agree to his request.

So, Sam boldly stated, “However, treating Lord Parker is not a simple matter. If it’s just to clear up the misunderstanding between the two families, our Gilliam family would be at a great loss.”

How could someone raise their demands just when negotiations were about to conclude?

Feeling tricked, Duke Austen resolutely disagreed.

“No way, I’ve already promised not to trouble the Gilliam family anymore, how can you suddenly change your terms?”

Sam shrugged, still smiling.

“The Gilliam family is not weak, I believe Duke Austen wouldn’t want to oppose us.”

“And compared to the honor and disgrace of the Gilliam family, I believe Lord Parker’s life is more important.”

“You! Are you threatening me?”

“Duke Austen, you’re joking. How could I dare to threaten you? I’m just stating the facts.”

The Gilliam family had existed in Tondende for twenty years without falling, not only because of Declan’s personal power but also because of his strong backing.

Duke Austen had lived to this age and had never seen someone so bold.

“Fine, fine, fine. Sam, tell me, what are your conditions?”

Everything could wait until his son woke up. He would definitely demand repayment from the Gilliam family for this debt.

“This place is too public, Duke Austen. Can we speak in private?”

After hesitating for a few seconds, the duchess spoke first, “Mr. Hurst, come with me.”

With that, she led the way out of the ward, and Sam followed closely.

“Thank you, Lady Deanna.”

Seeing his wife leave with that pretty boy, Duke Austen dared not continue to daze, hurriedly pulling up his pants to chase after them.

“Honey, wait for me.”

With the three most important people gone, the ward was left with only Sam’s two subordinates and Ruth.

For a moment, she didn’t know whether to stay and wait or leave first, but she still wanted to find out about Pearl’s situation.

Just as she was in a dilemma, a familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.

“Ruth, turn around quickly.”

“Huh?”

At first, Ruth thought she was hallucinating. Besides Mr. Hurst, who else here knew her?

When she turned around and looked, she was almost scared.

“Who are you?”

The person had their head wrapped in a white coat, their face completely hidden, and crouched sneakily at the door, looking nothing like a good person.

But this figure… felt somewhat familiar to her.

Pearl was almost moved to tears by her intelligence, sniffled, and continued to wave.

“I’m Pearl.”

“Pearl! How can that be? If you are her, why are you dressed like this in broad daylight?”

“It’s a long story, I’ll tell you later. Come out quickly.”

Once she confirmed the other person’s identity, Ruth didn’t hesitate anymore and walked out of the ward in her high heels.

As for the other two, they would wait for Mr. Hurst’s instructions before leaving.

As soon as Ruth stepped out of the ward, Pearl dragged her away. The two of them passed through the bustling corridor and arrived at a secluded stairwell.

“Pearl, slow down. It’s so good to see you. You don’t know how worried I was when that gentleman took you away the night before last.”

Miss Pearl was just drunk and a bit out of it, not amnesiac. She still remembered bits and pieces of that night.

Talking about it made her angry.

“You should have stopped him, letting him carry me off like a sack to his house.”

“Wait, you said you slept at his house last night?”

Ruth looked at Pearl with slight surprise, curious why she was covering her face with a coat.

“Did Mr. Hurst take you to his home last night?”

“Yes.”

“Did he do anything to you?”

Faced with her friend’s urgent concern, Pearl felt a bit comforted and hummed softly.

“At least you care about me. Don’t worry, I slept in his bed, and he didn’t do anything to me.”

“Slept… too? Oh my god, isn’t that too fast?”

Pearl wondered what Ruth was thinking.

Blushing, Pearl lightly coughed to interrupt Ruth’s wild imagination.

“Pah, nothing like that. Do you think I would fancy him?”

Ruth, on the other hand, spoke up for Sam.

“Actually, Mr. Hurst is very nice. If he hadn’t helped that night, we would have been in trouble.”

“And he’s different from other men. Any other rich or handsome men have many affairs.”

Reflecting on Sam’s attitude toward her just now, Ruth, though aggrieved, was also glad he was a man of integrity.

“Do you… like him?”

Pearl was stunned by her friend’s words. It was the first time the usually shy Ruth praised a man in front of her.

But why Sam!

Ruth, showing a rare girlish infatuation, bit her red lip and nodded.

“Yes, I think Mr. Hurst is very charming.”

No sooner had she spoken than Pearl interrupted excitedly, spouting grievances.

“No, that’s just your illusion!”

“You don’t understand him, he’s a bad person.”

“Bad? How could…”

Ruth wasn’t swayed by her words at all, believing her own eyes over Pearl’s.

Seeing this, Pearl took a deep breath, feeling that Sam had stolen her best friend after just one meeting.

To “save” Ruth, she decided to go all out.

“He… he’s a hitman for the Gilliam family, you know?”

“Don’t be fooled by his refined appearance. He’s bloodthirsty, brutal, and has no gentlemanly demeanor, holding grudges.”

“What’s good about such a man? Ruth, don’t lose your mind.”

After saying this, Pearl fell into an inner conflict.

If, as she just said, everyone in the Gilliam family was no good, then as the lady of the Gilliam family, she must be even worse.

Besides, why did she feel awkward hearing Ruth admit her feelings for Sam?

It felt like… her beloved toy was being taken away.

But she knew Sam was not her toy, nor would he ever be someone she loved.

“What am I doing?”

Pearl fell into confusion, her mind a mess.
