Chapter 1062


    After everyone had entered, the two “statues” suddenly came to life, pounding their chests and cursing.


    “What’s this all about? We came all this way, and they won’t let us in?”


    “What’s so special about this lousy pce? Even if they invited me, I wouldn’t go inside!”


    “This ce is a dump… I need to take pictures. I—”


    The pce guards swiftly surrounded them, not touching the two women but giving them cold stares.


    They held long spears with gleaming des under the sunlight.


    Violet instantly felt intimidated, while Heidi, fearing trouble, quickly handed over her phone.


    The guards nced at Violet and confiscated her phone as well.


    Both of them were denied entry to any of the pces and were left standing in the open square,


    exposed to the scorching sun. A group of guards surrounded them.


    Gia stood nearby, wearing a dark expression. She recalled the man’s words—”Do you know who the


    man beside Lina is?


    “Zuko, the eldest heir of the Hamertons of Centrolis. He’s currently out of the city!


    “Heh, her adoptive parents dote on her, and the eldest Hamerton heir spoils her too! Tell me, why is


    Lina so lucky?”


    Gia’s fingertips trembled.

    She had heard that the Hamertons of Centrolis had a marriage alliance with the Irwins Southeast


    Aciatic. If her guess was correct, Zuko had orchestrated everything that had happened today.


    A sinister glint shed in Gia’s eyes as she tightly clenched her fists!


    Yes, the man’s words were right… If she didn’t take care of Lina soon, it wouldn’t just be a ticking time


    bomb for Melvin. It wouldn’t benefit her either!


    “Lina, don’t me me.” She gritted her teeth with each word. “You forced my hand… It’s your own


    doing!”


    When Lina returned to the hotel in the evening, she had her usual video call with Zuko. So much had


    happened today, and it was so thrilling that she was still exhrated.


    “Zeke, the king turned out to be so warm and hospitable. The arrangements were incredibly thoughtful!”


    “Oh, you’re referring to the people he sent to pick you up?” Zuko smiled. “In my analysis, visiting the


    pce is a significant event, so the number of people and the guest list must be well-matched. It’s


    crucial for security reasons.”


    “Mr. Remus mentioned the same thing,” Lina said, looking at him. “But experiencing it personally feels


    so surreal… Hehe, it’s the first time I’ve ever felt like a princess!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated

    Zuko said, “In that case, I’ll make you feel like a princess every day from now on, alright?”


    Lina blushed and shyly smiled at him.


    Zuko whispered, “I suggest you take a hot bath to calm down. You seem so excited that you might


    have trouble sleeping tonight!”


    “If I can’t sleep, will you keep mepany?”


    “I will definitely keep youpany, but you have your studies tomorrow, so it’s important to get a good


    night’s sleep.”


    Lina pouted, but her dimples were still visible.


    Zuko always lectured her seriously, making her feel like she didn’t just find a boyfriend but a young


    father.


    His voice carried a hint of amusement. “Lina, it seems like you want me to apany you in


    everything now?”


    “Huh?”


    “You just said I should apany you if you can’t sleep.”


    “So what? Is that not allowed?”


    “Of course, it’s allowed.” Zuko continued with a “serious” tone. “If you want me to keep youpany


    when you can’t sleep, then should I also join you when you take a bath?”


    “You…”


    Lina didn’t even have a chance to blush before she saw him entering the bathroom, holding the corner


    of his shirt and slowly lifting it…


    He smirked at the camera. “Lina, I’ll… take a bath with you.”
