Chapter 143: Chapter 143

In the following three days, Lucy practiced sitting, standing, and walking like a man every day.

Regarding her work at the hospital, she had already arranged for a leave of absence without pay a few days ago.

The hospital certainly wouldn’t say anything, and as for colleagues like Sarah Reed, whether they would say anything, she didn’t care.

A week passed , and Jacob Green still had not returned from abroad.

Lucy planned to go to Northriver the next day, so she started packing her suitcase this evening.

Nathaniel Green brought several sets of custom-made men’s suits for her, "Young Madam, how many people should accompany you on this trip?"

"Wouldn’t five be too few? At least twenty should come along, right?"

"How many of our people are there in total at the Presidential Mansion anyway?"

Nathaniel understood immediately, "Young Madam intends to bring five people from the Presidential Mansion with you to escort the Second Highness, which indeed won’t raise suspicion."

"And when we return to the country, these people can rightfully stay by the Second Highness’s side."

"Young Madam is thorough, but I still think five people are too few."

Lucy placed the clothes in her suitcase and also took out the custom-made handgun Nathaniel had previously prepared for her. This silenced gun could hold 15 bullets, and it was not only lightweight and easy to carry but also had many advantages over a regular handgun.

"Aren’t you waiting for the young master to come back before you leave?"

"Your young master will take another two or three days, I’m hungry, Nathaniel, go get me some fruit."

"I’ll have the kitchen prepare dinner."

"No need, I’ll just eat some fruit."

Nathaniel chuckled, "Alright then, I’ll go get it now."

After she packed her suitcase, Nathaniel brought in a plate of fruit salad and placed it on the table by the bed.

He also handed her an ID card, "Young Madam, this is your new ID card, prepared according to your new identity."

Which meant she now had two identities.

Lucy took the ID card and looked at the photo with satisfaction.

When the ID photo was taken, she specifically wore a short-haired wig and applied makeup to look like a man. The effect indeed satisfied her.

Even she thought she looked so different from her original self.

The name on the new identity was based on Evelyn Butler.

The sound of "Butler" is like "Eaton," and the sound of "Evelyn" is like "Green."

Nathaniel smiled slightly, "Young Madam, you really look handsome dressed as a boy. It’s impossible to tell it’s you."

"Not being recognized is my goal. Alright, you can leave now. I want to rest early and set off for Northriver before dawn tomorrow." The source of this content ɪs 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹✦𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖✦𝓷𝓮𝓽

Lying in bed, Lucy sent Jacob Green a text message, [Husband, I’m leaving for Northriver early tomorrow morning. I’ll ensure my safety.]

Jacob quickly replied to the message, [Okay.]

Lucy had a good night’s rest, and as soon as she boarded the plane the next morning, Jacob’s plane landed at the airport.

Nathaniel saw this and went forward to greet him.

"Young master, weren’t you supposed to return in two or three days?"

"I rushed back early because I knew your Young Madam was leaving tomorrow morning. Has she left?"

"She left for Northriver ten minutes ago."

"Has the new identity been arranged?"

Nathaniel nodded, "Yes, young master, you have no idea how much your Young Madam looks like a man now. Even if you saw her, you might not recognize her at a glance."

"Is it that amazing?"

"Absolutely, look." Nathaniel pulled a copy of Lucy’s new ID card from his pocket and showed it to him.

Jacob looked at it and couldn’t help but smile, "Wow, she really does. How many people did she bring with her?"

"Why only five?" Jacob was displeased, "It’s too few."

"It was Young Madam’s insistence, the people were drawn from the Presidential Mansion. Young Madam said when they return, these five can be assigned to the Second Highness’s side."

"When they return?" Jacob’s smile waned considerably, "With just five, who knows how many will make it back alive."

"Shall I send more people to protect them secretly?"

"Arthur Bennett’s men will easily discover them, no need to do so. Since she’s so confident, she’s bound to act carefully."

After Lucy arrived in Northriver, she first went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion, and indeed, neither Jackson Baker nor Liora Hughes recognized her.

After successfully deceiving her parents, she revealed her true self using her original voice, stunning the couple when they realized it was their disguised daughter.

Liora laughed after looking Lucy over from head to toe, "This disguise technique is extraordinary, just with men’s clothes, a wig, and makeup, your dad and I couldn’t recognize you. But Lucy, with this look, those sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, it’s like I have another son."

"Mom and Dad, you should be reassured now, no one will recognize me as Lucy Eaton. By the way, here’s my new ID card, take a look." She handed the ID card to her parents.

After looking it over, Jackson and Liora were quite satisfied, "This is great."

"I can’t stay here any longer, I have to go to the Presidential Mansion to meet the Second Highness. Mom, Dad, I’m leaving now."

Liora held her hand reluctantly, "Protecting the Second Highness is important, but your safety is even more so."

"Mom, I understand better than anyone how valuable life is, you and Dad need not worry. Even if there’s a period when you can’t contact me, don’t panic. As long as you haven’t heard I’m dead, it means I’m fine." She hugged her parents, "The car is waiting outside, I’m off."

Jackson and Liora walked her to the door, watching her get into the car, feeling heavy-hearted.

Sitting in the car, Lucy withdrew her gaze. To her, no matter how challenging and dangerous it was to accompany Emma Bennett on this trip, she would spare no effort to bring him back safely. This was her mission.

The car stopped outside the Presidential Mansion, she got out and saw Nick waiting there, walking forward, "Hello, I’m Evelyn Butler."

Nick looked her up and down, and said without expression, "Follow me inside."

Nick did not recognize her, and Lucy smiled knowingly, following him inside.

In Emma Bennett’s courtyard, she saw two rows of guards standing, clearly those assigned by the Presidential Mansion for Emma.

Lucy followed Nick to Emma Bennett.

"Your Highness, Evelyn Butler is here."

Emma responded casually, "Evelyn Butler, Grandfather assigned you to accompany me. You must stay by my side at all times, can you do that?"

Lucy thought, is he stating the obvious?

"Yes, Evelyn Butler can do that."

"Choose ten guards from them to come with us, Nick will give you the list."

"Alright." Nick handed the list to Lucy.

Lucy turned around to face the guards in front of her and started reading the names from the list: "Dylan, Noah Quincey, Lucas, Samuel Green, Gabriel Fallbrook, Richard Leigh, George Green, Ethan, Theodore Fenn, Aaron McCarthy."
