Chapter 350


    He must have gotten jealous. Otherwise, why would he bother beating up


    some random person from Yeringham? “Alright, thank you!” Magnus was


    polite as he thanked the person on the phone. After he ended the call, he


    realized that udette had walked over to the side of the road on her own,


    so he jogged after her immediately. “Why don’t I send you home, Princess


    udette? Please don’t walk on your own at night. You might be in danger!”


    Magnus uttered worriedly.


    Even though his words were thoughtful and warm, udette didn’t seem the


    least bit touched by them. “I’m thankful for your care, Mr. Magnus. But have


    you ever considered that I may not want your care?” she said as she turned.


    around to gaze at him.


    The man let out a bashful scoff. “I’m just yourpdog, after all. You don’t have


    to feel pressured.”


    udette let out a sigh. “It seems like both your IQ and EQ are pretty high,


    huh? You’reforting me before I even tell you what I feel!”


    “Of course, this is my job as a knight!” he replied with a smile. Thedy was


    rather annoyed at him, yet she knew she couldn’tsh out at him. The only


    thing she could do then was to stop, turn around, and confront him. Magnus


    halted his footsteps and looked at her as well.


    “Actually, there’s someone I fancy, Mr. Magnus!” udette announced.


    “Unfortunately, you aren’t the person I’m referring to.”


    The man was silent for a while. He wasn’t angry or feeling dejected; his face


    was expressionless for a moment before he tugged his lips into a smile


    again. “Is that so? Congrattions, my princess. Falling in love with someone


    is a really beautiful feeling!”


    Perhaps this was why udette couldn’t bring herself to like the man.


    Regardless of how capable or talented he was, he simply wasn’t normal!


    udette saw herself as a regr woman, so she felt like things would never


    work out between herself and this man. Perhaps this is love. I don’t think he


    understands what love truly is, though, she thought.


    Right then, the Lenoir family’s driver pulled up by the roadside in a


    Rolls–Royce. He was there to pick udette up. “I agree that it’s a beautiful


    feeling to be in love. Well, thank you for today, Mr. Magnus. I’ll see you around.”


    After saying goodbye, she entered her car without asking the man toe


    along.


    Magnus‘ smile faded off after the car drove away, and it was soon reced


    with a look of anger. “Quintus, you mentioned that a knight would fight for hist


    princess when he encountered a love rival, right?” he muttered to himself as


    he clenched his fists.


    On the other hand, udette’s mind was still upied by the time she


    returned to the Lenoir Residence. She had just stepped into the hall when she


    heard a loudugh. “You’re finally back. I had assumed that you’d be able to


    lose your virginity to Dr. Lowe tonight,” Laura said while resting on the couch..


    “What are you talking about? Do I look like that sort of woman?” udette’s


    cheeks were flushed as she pouted a little. Laura lifted her smooth and fair


    legs off the table top and nted them on the floor before she got to her


    feet. “Hah, you might not be that sort of woman, but that’s the sort of woman


    you want to be, right? It’s a great feeling to ditch your values and just go


    rogue…”


    “I–I don’t have such desires!” udette let out a haughty scoff before turning


    around and walking toward her room. However, she stopped herself just


    momentster. “Why did Magnus show up in Yeringham, Aunt Laura?” she


    asked as she turned around.


    “Why else? Men only do things for two reasons–money or women!” Laura


    replied half–heartedly. The Lenoir and Zelinsky families were closely rted to


    one another. Even though they were based in different cities, they interacted


    with one another as peers. However, if one were to consider their abilities and

    reputation, the Zelinsky family undoubtedly had the upper hand.


    Laura continued speaking when she saw udette standing rooted in her


    spot. “He came for a woman, of course! I bet he came to see our little


    princess! Their family wants to have an arranged marriage with ours, and


    they offered some pretty good benefits. Though, I’m not sure if your father will


    agree to it,” Laura uttered.


    udette’s gaze flickered for a moment. She believed in her father; she was


    sure he wouldn’t give up on his daughter’s happiness just for the sake of


    some benefits. But… we can never know for sure!


    “Well, regarding money, it seems like the Zelinsky family and Verkade Group’s


    project had suffered losses and was taken over by Mackenzie. Hundreds of


    millions had been invested in that project. Ah, how interesting!” Laura


    cheered. She was a woman who often kept herself updated with the gossip


    but also someone who never got involved. Furthermore, since Mackenzie was


    her daughter’s love rival and Magnus was courting her daughter, she’d be


    eager to see a fight between them!
