Damien's eyes narrowed as he spoke, his voice filled with a mix of frustration and concern. "I had been watching the palace gate all night, waiting for Olivia to leave. But she never passed. On my way here to meet you, I overheard the guards whispering. It seems Olivia will be spending her first night with Devon."
Candice's anger flared at the mention of Olivia and Devon together. Her face flushed with jealousy, her voice laced with bitterness. "So, she's stealing Devon away from me now, is she? That conniving little witch!"
Susan placed a calming hand on Candice's arm, trying to diffuse the tension. "Candice, we need to stay focused. Our priority is to find Olivia and make sure she doesn't expose our plans. Let's not let our personal feelings cloud our judgment."
Candice shook off Susan's hand, her anger burning brightly. "No, Susan! I won't let her get away with this. She's not only ruining our plans, but she's also stealing the man I love!"
