Chapter 1381


    On the other hand, Tristan didn''t care about their rtionship. After all, all he needed to do was to


    bring Denver out safely.


    Then, all of them walked out hurriedly while carrying Laborn''s edict.


    Meanwhile, Laborn didn''t know that Tristan had brought Denver away. The only thing he knew was


    that Tristan and Prisci had slept together, so he had forgotten about basic etiquette as he had


    been mesmerized by Prisci. However, he had overlooked Tristan''s impolite actions for the sake of


    the head of the Acker family, as thetter had promised to consider investing in military research.


    Hence, Laborn felt a little relieved right now.


    Although it was a little shameful for his daughter to marry a personal assistant, there was nothing


    more important than his military research. As long as Tristan was willing to invest in this research,


    he could quickly expand his military influence. When that happened, he could finally carry on with


    his ns!


    Well, he would be sacrificing one of his daughters at most, but it didn''t matter as he never favored


    this daughter anyway.


    At this thought, Laborn ignored Prisci and Tristan. In fact, he was d that both of them were not


    at the national banquet as they had not embarrassed themselves. After all, it was pretty


    embarrassing for a princess to fall in love with an assistant.


    On the other hand, when Teagan received the news that Tristan had gone out, he got up and said,


    "Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality today. I am a little tired, so I want to go back first."


    "Okay, go back and rest. Also, I hope that you can think about investing in military research. I''m


    looking forward to your participation."


    "Alright, I''ll think about it."


    After finishing his words, Teagan got up and left.


    This state banquet was held for the sake of the head of the Acker family. Therefore, since the main


    character had left, other people should''ve left too. However, Laborn made everyone stay behind.


    Bernard was missing, so he had to give As an exnation for this matter.


    "Did anyone of you see Bernard?"


    Laborn looked at every one of them with a sharp gaze, so the people in the hall couldn''t help but


    feel nervous.


    Meanwhile, Lebanon was slightly stunned when


    he heard this.


    Was Bernard missing?


    What on earth was going on?


    On the other hand, Prestin didn''t say anything because the men he had sent out hadn''t returned


    yet. Therefore, he didn''t know what Bernard was doing outside, but he absolutely didn''t want Laborn


    to find out the truth, so he could only y dumb.


    Other people knew that Bernard was very special to Laborn, so no one dared to offend him. When


    they heard Laborn''s question, they were all shocked as they had various expressions on their faces.


    After looking at everyone, Laborn didn''t manage to find out anything. Hence, he could only say in a


    low voice, "I don''t care who has a grudge against Bernard. Look, I have said that no one is allowed


    to touch him. If I find out that anyone of you is doing something behind my backs to hurt him, I will


    definitely take action!"


    When Lebanon heard these words, he lowered his face and sneered secretly. However, sis face


    was expressionless, so no one could tell what he was thinking.


    On the other hand, Laborn became more upset as he didn''t manage to find anything out.


    Furthermore, his men had not returned as well.


    "Well then, you may all go back. A lot of disturbing things have happened recently, so I hope that


    you will all not go out if you don''t have anything to do."


    This meant that Laborn was ordering them to stay in their respective pces. Well, although he


    didn''t say that they were grounded, they were pretty much not allowed to leave without permission


    anymore.


    After hearing this, Lebanon and Prestin snorted at the same time. Then, they went back to their


    pces with their subordinates.


    Meanwhile, while Denver followed Tristan to get in the car, he saw the head of the Acker family


    coming over. He had gotten in the same car as Tristan. As soon as he got in the car, he said to


    Tristan, "Sir, are you really nning to bring Princess Prissy back?"


    "Do you have a problem with that?"


    Tristan looked atTeagan and asked.


    Teagan shook his head and replied softly, "Well, if she belongs to you, I''m okay with that. I was just


    afraid that Laborn sent her over to watch your actions."


    "No, she''s one of Nathaniel''s subordinates."

    Tristan answered and did not hide anything from Teagan.


    Both of them did not hide their conversation from the other people from the car, so Denver was


    slightly stunned when he heard this. Of course, he had managed to understand something, but he


    was smart enough not to ask about it.


    To him, the rtionship between Tristan and the person impersonating the head of the Acker family


    was none of his business. However, he had a mysterious look in his eyes when he heard that


    Prisci was working for Nathaniel.


    On the other hand, Anaya had been staring at Denver all this while. Thus, she couldn''t help feeling


    a little jealous when she saw him looking at Prisci.


    Then, she pulled Denver, who was slightly stunned. After that, he smiled and patted her head to


    comfort her before asking, "Are you cold?"


    Anaya was wearing thin clothes, and it was winter now. This ce was much colder than B City, so


    he had asked her this question.


    However, Anaya turned her head and ignored him.


    Why did Denver look at Prisci while he was in deep thought?


    Wasn''t Tristan attracted to Prissy?


    Did the mean that Denver was interested in her too?


    At this thought, Anaya secretly nced at the


    Prisci, who was still sleeping. Well, Prisci was quite pretty indeed.


    Hence, she couldn''t help but touch her own face.


    She was indeed not very beautiful, and she was also disabled. Oh, well. No wonder why Denver


    always wanted to see other girls.


    At this thought, Anaya became a little depressed.


    Denver was a sensitive person, so he could sense that she was upset. However, he felt that this


    was not a suitable ce to discuss this. Therefore, he only held his hand tightly without saying


    anything.


    After that, Tristan and Teagan got in the car. Then, the car slowly started and left the pce with the


    permission of the guards.


    Meanwhile, Nathaniel and Mango couldn''t leave Ango yet, and Laborn was searching for them


    outside. Therefore, they thought that the best ce to hide was the Acker family''s home right now.


    Therefore, Nathaniel took Mango to the Acker family''s home. This was the address Mateo gave him


    before he left. Also, this meant that Tristan was the one who had helped Mateo to enter Ango


    secretly.


    Well, Laborn would probably never imagine that the Acker family who he had been trying to get on


    his good side would be Nathaniel and Mateo''s bigger support.


    On the other hand, Tristan knew where they were without asking. Once the car left the pce, he


    immediately returned to the Acker family''s home.


    Although the Acker family had fallen into poverty in Ango, the family businesses left by their


    ancestors were still doing well. This vi was hundreds of square meters, and this had been the


    home to the Acker family for hundreds of years. There were many rooms and bodyguards in this


    ce. Furthermore, Tristan''s researchb was here as well, so no one would be suspicious if he


    had chosen toe back here.


    Then, Teagan took off his mask as soon as he entered the manor.


    He was a handsome man with a very masculine face.


    "Sir, I''ll ask someone to arrange rooms for them first."


    "All right."


    Tristan nodded in reply. Then, he carried Prisci into his room and asked Maya to take care of her.


    Next, he brought Denver and Anaya to meet Nathaniel and Mango.


    When Mango heard that Tristan had brought Denver out, she was delighted. Therefore, she ran out


    immediately without waiting for them to greet


    her.


    "Denver!"


    Mango had always been worried about Denver''s body. Hence, when she saw him appearing in front


    of her in a wheelchair, she couldn''t help but feel a little sad.


    Could he still not stand?


    On the other hand, when Denver saw the guilt and sadness in Mango''s eyes, he quickly smiled and


    said, "Hey Mango, why are you making such an expression?"


    "You brat! Why are you here? Do you know that I was frightened when I learned you were here?


    The situation here isplicated, but you were even in the pce! If something happened to you,


    how could I answer your sister? Are you trying to make me feel guilty again?"


    Mango punched Denver''s chest as she asked him.


    She had not met Denver for a long time. Therefore, she noticed that he was tanner and thinner now,


    but he looked more energetic. His eyes were bright, and he looked almost the same or better before


    the ident had happened. Hence, Mango felt relieved.


    But, before her fist could hit Denver, it was blocked by someone''s fist.


    "Don''t hit him!"


    Anaya frowned and looked at Mango with hostility as she said this.


    Of course, she knew who Mango was. However, she swore that she would protect Denver from


    everyone that wanted to harm him.


    Mango was slightly stunned when she heard this. When she observed the person in front of her in


    detail, she realized that it was Anaya!


    "Are you Anaya?"


    Anaya didn''t say anything, but she admitted it.


    Mango was even more surprised to hear this.


    "I thought Anaya couldn''t talk, so why..."


    If Anaya had a problem with her throat or vocal cords, she could still talk once she had received


    treatment. But, Mango remembered very clearly that Anaya and her sister lost the ability to speak


    because the club members cruelly cut off their tongues. How could they talk now?


    However, Anaya did not want to exin.


    Meanwhile, Denver nced at her. Just as he was about to say something to Mango, he heard


    Tristan, who was standing behind them, whisper, "She must have done a small operation on the


    vocal cords. I''m sure they installed something on there to emit sounds when the air currents vibrate.


    Therefore, even though she doesn''t have a tongue, she can still express her words clearly.


    However, I think that this operation wasn''t very sessful, so her vocal cords and throat must have


    been getting inmed recently."


    After hearing what Tristan had said, Denver immediately became nervous.


    "Is it true? Does it hurt? Are your vocal cords and throat inmed?"


    Back then, Denver had searched worldwide for famous doctors to find such a doctor who could


    perform this kind of operation. He had gotten Anaya''s permission, and she knew that this operation


    would have some side effects. However, Anaya was too anxious to speak, so she wanted to


    perform this operation eagerly.


    At that time, Denver had given her the best medicine to disinfect her wounds, but he didn''t expect


    that something would happen to the Blu family soon after the operation. After that, Anaya had


    disappeared. Now when Denver saw Anaya again and heard her speaking, he was thrilled. He


    thought the operation was sessful, but he didn''t dare to doubt Tristan''s words.


    After all, Tristan had a Ph.D. in medicine, and he was a genius. He could tell that Anaya had done a


    complex operation without doing anything, so Denver was distraught.


    Initially, Anaya didn''t want to say anything about it, but now she was exposed. Then, she looked at


    Tristan with some sadness. After that, she nodded when she saw Denver''s anxious gaze.


    "Dr. Acker, do you have a solution?"


    Denver suddenly turned around and looked at Tristan before asking this.


    He was not familiar with Tristan, but he really hoped that Tristan could help Anaya.


    After all, Anaya was only thirteen, and she had a long life ahead of her. It would be fine if she could


    never speak forever. But now, he had given her some hope by allowing her to speak from her vocal


    cords. Therefore, it would be too cruel for her to face these problems!


    On the other hand, Mango noticed that Anaya was different from Denver.


    After all, Mango had felt guilty towards Rainie and Denver. Although she didn''t know if Tristan would


    help them, she believed that they would be more sessful if she requested him to help them.


    At this thought, Mango couldn''t help but look at Tristan with gentle eyes. However, Nathaniel, who


    had followed her gaze, saw this clearly, so his family immediately hardened again.
