"I just knew it, how could they possibly separate…" Annie said with a disgruntled face, "If you ask me, this assassination attempt must have been Gan Yuan's doing, to win over the Duke's favor. This woman… is shameless to the extreme! By tomorrow morning, everyone will know about it. How can I compete with Gan Yuan then? She's the future King's woman. Who will choose me?"
"Enough!" Marquis Smith interjected displeased, "What's the use of talking about this now? We need to quickly think of a way to deal with it. The Duke is no fool—he wouldn't oppose the Royal Family just for a woman…"

"And now?" Annie pressed.
"Miss Gan and her son have been brought back to the hotel by him."
