Chapter 139: Chapter 139

"Please have a seat, Mrs. Green." Mr. Palmer instructed the servant, "Serve the tea."

"What is the matter?"

Lucy Eaton sat down, looking at the four members of the Palmer family, not intending to avoid Flora Palmer’s family, "I heard that a servant named Laura was transferred to Your Highness’s yard. Do you know about this?"

"Laura?" Flora nodded, "I saw her just yesterday, she’s quite sweet and hardworking."

"Don’t be deceived by her false front. Her face is fake, her name is fake, her identity is fake."

"She’s actually Stellan Quinn, the daughter of the former CEO of Quinn Group, Benjamin Quinn."

"Stellan Quinn?" Flora was incredulous, "She doesn’t look like her at all."

"Of course not. The original her had a severely damaged reputation. Plus, her mother swapped me with my half-brother Mason Baker and was sentenced to death. She could only reach her goals by assuming a new identity." Lucy spoke slowly, instilling fear in Flora, "The only reason she entered the Presidential Mansion was to attach herself to power and then use it to get revenge on me. After all, her mother was sentenced to death because of me. I used to think she wasn’t capable, but now I see she’s climbed into Arthur Bennett’s bed."

This statement caused the Palmer family to change their expressions.

"You mean she has an unclear relationship with Arthur?" Flora’s eyes widened.

"Indeed, Stellan has a good friend named Grace Hughes. Her parents and she were arrested for drug use and trafficking. Just yesterday, she was released while her parents remained in prison. Stellan saved her, and before Grace was released from the police station, Stellan was transferred to Your Highness’s yard. With the Quinn family long fallen, how could the new-identity Stellan have the means to gain Your Highness’s support to save anyone? She only has herself as capital."

Flora trembled with anger, "We haven’t been married for long..."

Frederick Palmer’s face was grim, "Had Lucy not informed us today, we would know nothing about this."

"The Quinn family plotted against Jacob Green, and Stellan’s mother swapped me at birth. So I’ve been keeping a close watch on all their moves. Her getting involved with Your Highness was unexpected. In my view, Stellan wasn’t a smart woman, but now her plan is clear. Her target is your position, Flora, so she’s not only trying to eliminate me; you’re one of her targets, too. This matter could be small or large, but I don’t want you kept in the dark."

"Lucy, thank you for telling me this today." Flora’s eyes reddened, "Though my marriage to Arthur was an alliance, I entered it hoping to live well together. He promised on our wedding night he would treat me well, and yet, this is how he treats me. To him, I lack any dignity that would prevent him from trampling over me."

"A man who’s unfaithful once will be unfaithful his whole life." Lucy looked at her, "Understand who he is and wrap a protective layer around your heart for yourself. Treat this marriage only as an alliance, reducing harm as much as possible. After all, a divorce won’t be easy, too many aspects are involved. The Presidential Mansion is a den of wolves and tigers; you must tread carefully."

"Now the Presidential Mansion needs our Palmer family’s financial support, yet he treats me this way. What will happen if he rises to power and no longer needs us? Will I still have a life?" Flora shuddered at the thought.

"We should never have agreed to this marriage." Mrs. Palmer worried greatly.

"It’s too late to say anything now; we can only take it one step at a time." Mr. Palmer sighed, "Among the two Highnesses in the Presidential Mansion, only this one is capable of the responsibility. The Second Highness is blind and unsupported, as good as useless."

"What if..." Mrs. Palmer suggested, "We kill Stellan Quinn?"

"Mrs. Palmer, you can kill one Stellan Quinn, but you can’t stop women like her from coming one after another. And if Stellan could be killed, do you think she’d appear at the Presidential Mansion?" Lucy spoke plainly, "If Stellan had died before, her father wouldn’t have rested until chaos ensued. Now, if she dies, not only will her father not let it go, but Your Highness will investigate who did it. If that leads to us, it won’t benefit us. So now, do not act hastily, be patient and wait for the opportunity. By conveying this to you today, I’m indicating I don’t want Flora to become a sacrifice in this alliance. Stellan must die, if not, either I or Flora will in the future. But her death must be open and aboveboard, her death must be unrelated to us in everyone’s eyes. Do you all understand?"

Frederick admired her straightforwardness, "You’ve thought this through well; I agree."

"Lucy, you’ll help me, won’t you?" Flora looked anxiously at her.

Lucy spoke honestly, "If you keep an eye on Stellan in the Presidential Mansion and disrupt her plans, it would be greatly beneficial to us. Also, do not focus on Arthur; focus on yourself. Inside the Presidential Mansion is different from outside; the four words of caution and restraint must be implemented thoroughly. Only in this way can you safely live, and nothing is more important than living. Only by living, can anything be possible."

Flora found much strength in her words, "I understand."

When Lucy left the Palmer residence, it was already ten o’clock.

Due to this matter, she had formed an alliance with the Palmer family. With Flora in the Presidential Mansion, Stellan wouldn’t have it so easy.

After leaving the Palmer residence, she boarded a taxi and dialed Emma Bennett’s number.

Because he had previously told her to call when she arrived in Northriver, as he had something to tell her.

However, after dialing, the call was disconnected by the other side; he did not answer.

Lucy did not call again, guessing that he might not be in a position to answer.

She returned to the Presidential Mansion and upon arrival received a return call from a public phone number.

It was Emma Bennett calling.

"I’ll come to see you at the Prime Minister’s Mansion."

After Lucy finished speaking, she hung up the phone. Jackson Baker wasn’t home at the time, so she chatted with her mother until he returned.

"Dad, did Second Highness tell you what he wanted to talk about?"

"No." Jackson said calmly, "We’ll know when he arrives."

After waiting for half an hour, Emma Bennett arrived, without Nick, nor bodyguards, coming alone, which startled the father and daughter.

"Your Highness, why did you come alone? It’s so dangerous." Jackson Baker was really afraid something might happen to him.
