Swan was getting nervous as the cat maid pushed her wheelchair towards Lady Jade’s room.
Ever since she got the information from Rock about Jade poisoning him, all of her good opinions of that woman crumbled, and she learned that she should be more careful right now.
’And that Long Xiurong... I don’t think she will be kind to me either. She probably wants to have Gale all for herself, which is understandable, I guess. Because even I have the same selfishness myself,’ Swan thought.
She clenched her dress as the wheelchair stopped in front of Lady Jade’s room.
Maya and Myra noticed Princess Swan’s nervousness. They looked at each other and asked, "Princess, are you sure about this? Should you change your mind, we can just go back to your room and we’ll tell Lady Jade’s attendant that you are not feeling well."
"No, I can’t hide forever. I need to face them because they are equally important to Gale," Swan insisted. "Open the door, and let me talk to them."
Thus, despite her worry, she braced herself and joined Lady Jade and Long Xiurong who sat at a round table with assorted snacks and desserts, alongside tea for three inside Lady Jade’s room.
It was the first time in a while that Swan met Lady Jade again, and she looked scarier now in her eyes.
It was also her first time looking at Long Xiurong in close proximity. She realized once again that Lady Long was truly an exotic beauty of the East, no wonder Gale accepted her easily.
"Thank you for inviting me, Milady. How was your trip to the East?" Swan asked politely.
"Hm~ it’s fine. Everything went smoothly. I can’t say the same with what happened here, though. I heard from the reports that Gale went as far as conquering the North Sea to punish your mother and sister," Jade replied with a scathing comment. "I don’t know what you have done to grant such a cruel punishment from him, since Gale is usually very indifferent about everything."
Swan’s lips twitched.
One minute into the conversation, Lady Jade already attacked her with what happened in Holy Achate.
However, it seemed that she wasn’t informed of the details, or Gale simply didn’t tell anyone about his true intention behind Anastasia and Aria’s punishment.
Swan automatically thought it was her duty to keep the real reason a secret as well since her husband refused to tell anyone about Anastasia’s neglect of her.
On top of that, she shouldn’t allow Lady Jade to use Holy Achate as a liability against her.
"Whatever happened to Holy Achate is none of my concern," Swan replied calmly.
