Became A Queen After divorce

“Jealous? No way, put me down!”

In fact, Cheyenne felt a bit embarrassed. When she saw Kelvin talking with Princess Sierra earlier, she suddenly felt uneasy. It turned out she was jealous. She had never realized her jealousy could be so intense!

Cheyenne stubbornly refused to admit it, but Kelvin saw it clearly and couldn’t be happier. Cheyenne finally got jealous for him, which meant her feelings for him had deepened.

The man then explained with a smile, “That brainless princess wanted to invite me to dance, but I refused.”

Hearing his explanation, Cheyenne felt much more at ease.

“Oh, why didn’t you go? I remember you learned ballroom dancing. Don’t tell me you can’t dance.”

Kelvin had indeed learned ballroom dancing, but he wouldn’t accept just anyone’s invitation. Now, his priority was to appease his beloved wife.

He leaned down and whispered in her ear, his warm breath adding a touch of intimacy. “Don’t be mad. I need to save my energy to dance with you tonight.”

Dance with her tonight? Cheyenne’s face darkened. Who needed him? She could sleep better and more soundly alone!

In the spotlight, the eldest daughter of the Gilliam family, Libby, and Lord Parker of Crete successfully completed their engagement ceremony. Lord Parker seemed resigned to his fate, smiling throughout the event. Although he had initially wanted to marry the lady of the Gilliam family, Miss Libby was his favorite sexy beauty.

In contrast, Libby kept a cold and beautiful face as if attending someone else’s engagement party. She didn’t exchange a single word with Lord Parker until the end.

Natalia also attended in full dress today. It was her first public appearance as the mistress of the Gilliam family. Many people didn’t know her true identity and assumed she was Declan’s companion. Given her age, they speculated that Mr. Gilliam might have developed a new taste recently.

It wasn’t until they saw Miss Libby and Miss Pearl showing great respect to Natalia that they began to take her seriously.

Natalia, however, focused all her attention on her niece. She knew Libby wasn’t willingly engaged, but there was no turning back now. As someone who had been through it all, she could only advise Libby to accept her fate.

Libby downed a glass of red wine in one gulp, the alcohol flushing her cheeks and adding a seductive charm to her deep-set features.

“Accept my fate? Aunt, how can I? You were imprisoned in a dungeon for twenty years. Have you accepted your fate now?”

Her words struck a chord with Natalia. Accept her fate? She hadn’t learned that term in her twenty years of imprisonment and certainly wouldn’t now!

“Fine, whatever you want to do, Aunt will support you.”

It was the first time Natalia had clearly expressed her support. Libby gratefully held her hand tightly. Having never experienced familial warmth growing up, she found a sense of belonging only with her aunt.

“Thank you, Aunt.”

Natalia patted her head gently and said softly, “No need to thank me. Your father and I are siblings. He helped me a lot back then. I’ve always wanted to repay him over the years. Meeting you is a great opportunity.”

“Tell me, how can I help you?”

Libby’s plan was simple: she wanted to destroy Pearl! And she needed her aunt’s help for this.

She had already prepared everything and was just waiting for Pearl to step into the trap.

She secretly handed a packet of powder to Natalia and whispered, “This is something I asked Kiara to find for me.”

As the lady of the Cunningham family, Natalia only needed a sniff to know what it was.

“Is this poison?”

Libby nodded in acknowledgment.

If someone accidentally ingested this poison, the toxin would enter their bloodstream and eventually cause heart failure and rupture.

Pearl had congenital heart disease. Just smelling this poison would trigger an attack.

To make everything seamless, Libby had even mixed a specific amount of antidote into it. This ensured that Pearl wouldn’t die suddenly within a month. But after a month, the toxin would have accumulated in her body to a fatal level, making her death appear natural and unquestionable.

Natalia’s hand holding the antidote tightened slightly as she hesitated. At one point in the past, she indeed wanted to kill Pearl because she was the product of Declan’s abuse. But thinking about killing her own daughter made Natalia realize she wasn’t that ruthless.

Seeing Natalia’s hesitation, Libby urged her, “Aunt, you can’t hesitate now! Have you forgotten how you’ve lived these past twenty years? Have you forgotten the dead Cunningham family members, your husband, and the fully-formed male fetus in your womb?”

“It was Declan who killed them and subjected you to twenty years of inhuman torture! Pearl is his daughter. If your true identity is ever exposed, who do you think she’ll choose-him or you?”

Libby’s words brought Natalia back to reality. Yes, every night she dreamed of that bloody fetus in her womb. The little one angrily called her “Mommy,” questioning why she hadn’t protected him!

“I understand. I’ll handle this.”

“And what about Declan? What do you plan to do?”

That old man was cunning and not as easy to deal with as Pearl. Even Libby, who grew up by his side, found him tricky. She said softly:

“Declan has built considerable power in Zheemond over the years. Many people in his gang are controlled by his voodoo worms.”

“To dismantle his power, the first step is to create an antidote to make these people switch sides.”Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Natalia nodded. Cutting off his limbs before attacking his brain was indeed a good strategy.

“This isn’t difficult; leave it to Kiara.”

“The next step is to divide Declan and Pearl’s father-daughter relationship. Aunt, do you know he’s been tracking a little boy recently? He’s the key!”

She also had a recording of Declan ordering her to kill Giana and Esteban.

The most crucial secret weapon was naturally reserved for the most critical moment. Libby eagerly awaited that day.
