"Urgh! Your hair is messy!"
Nathaniel walked up to Mango while saying this furiously. Then, he patted the same place that Tristan had touched just now repeatedly as he wanted to remove Tristan's scent from Mango.
D*mn it!
Tristan had ignored him completely just now!
How could Tristan flirt with his wife so shamessly?
After he had returned home, he would need to settle this issue with Tristan.
At this thought, Nathaniel's expression hardened. Right now, even the heavy make-up could not hide his jealousy and enraged expression at the moment.
Mango wanted to laugh when she saw this, but she was afraid of provoking Nathaniel, so she could only endure it.
"Well, let's go out too. I don't know how Prsicilla and Lebanon are doing now. Now that Tristan has sent Isla and the other women away, we can start dealing with Bernard. He just gave me some pills, so we can take advantage of this opportunity to add him these into his wine glass. Then, we can tie him up without anyone noticing. What do you think?"
Mango came up with a detailed planned and said these out loud without realizing that Nathaniel had an upset expression on his face.
"Wait, was he the one who gave you the poison that Isla ingested too?"
"Yeah, that's correct."
Mango nodded, but she didn't understand why Nathaniel would suddenly ask this question.
After hearing her answer, Nathaniel was upset again.
"Did he do the same thing to you last time?"
"What do you mean?"
Mango was slightly taken aback when she heard Nathaniel's question. Then, she recalled what Tristan had done to her just now and hurriedly said, "No, no. He was quite normal last time. Urgh! I don't know what's wrong with him today!"
"Stay away from him in the future then."
"Alright, I got it."
Mango looked at Nathaniel's upset expression and wanted to laugh. However, in the end, she held back her laughter.
"Well, Bernard is not easy to deal with. I don't think it's safe to put the poison in his wine. Instead, we should find a room to hide and act only once we see an opportunity to do so."
"All right."
Of course, Mango would listen to Nathaniel's orders when they were on a mission like this.
After that, the two of them quickly found a path and followed the waiters into the hall. Then, they sneaked into one of the rooms there while no one was paying attention to them.
Next, Nathaniel hacked into the surveillance cameras with the virtual computer in his hand before sitting on the sofa in relief.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat."
Nathaniel looked at Mango and asked with some concern.
"No, I'm not hungry for now. However, this room doesn't look that bad. I think this is a guest room for people who had eaten or drank too much to rest, right?"
"Hmm, I guess so."
Nathaniel didn't have the answer to this question either.
Suddenly, they heard the crowd complimenting someone repeatedly outside.
Thus, Mango looked out from the crack of the our of curiosity door and saw a man with a mask surrounded by a group of people. There was a imposing aura exuding from his body, and anyone could notice him immediately even though they were standing far away."
"Is that Tristan's substitute? I guess he was telling the truth then."
Nathaniel immediately reacted when he heard what Mango had said.
From the moment Tristan touched Mango's head, Nathaniel had disliked Tristan. Now that she saw that Mango was very concerned about Tristan, he couldn't help but ask, "Urgh! What's so good about that brat? All he has is a handsome face!"
"A handsome face?"
Mango was slightly stunned when she heard this. Then, she remembered that Tristan was indeed quite good-looking.
Well, if Mango had to describe Tristan in two words, she would call him a 'handsome scholar' indeed.
On the other hand, Nathaniel was furious when he saw that Mango was thinking about Tristan seriously.
"Hey! Don't think about him!"
He suddenly pulled Mango into his arms as he said this. Meanwhile, Mango was speechless when she saw how overbearing he was acting.
"Haha! I'm your wife. What are you afraid of?"
"What? I'm not afraid! I just don't want you to think about a man other than me."
Nathaniel had never known that he was so narrowminded. Mango usually kept her distance from strangers, but why was she so interested in Tristan?
Thus, he felt that his relationship with Mango was being threatened.
Then, Mango said in a somewhat amused manner, "Haha! Can you stop being this childish?"
"Well, I won't allow it! If he dares to touch your head again in the future, I'll cut off his eyes!"
There was a trace of cruelty in Nathaniel's eyes as he said this as if he planned to do what he said.
"Alright, I get it. I was unprepared just now, but I won't do it next time. I promise I won't let anyone touch my head again, okay?"
Mango comforted Nathaniel as he was acting childishly. However, she felt that Nathaniel was too cute.
"Hmm? Then shouldn't you compensate me because you made a mistake just now?"
Nathaniel wrapped his arms around Mango's waist and pushed her against the door of the
room as he said this.
The door was as cold as ice, but Nathaniel's body was warm. Hence, Mango was restless as she was trapped between the both of them right now. Furthermore, Nathaniel was starting to get aroused, so Mango was immediately embarrassed.
"Hey! We've already been married for so long, so can you be more serious? We're now in our enemies' palace, so we can be exposed anytime! How can you still think about these things right now?"
"Hmm? Don't you think about this too? It doesn't matter how long we've been married because we can still warm each other, right? Also, I'm only trying to get the compensation I deserve."
"Why are you asking this? Are you planning to introduce him to me?"
Even though Priscilla was smiling as she asked this, the look in her eyes stunned Maya. Then, Maya said fearfully, "I wouldn't dare to do so, but my younger brother knows him well. I heard that he has made many important decisions on Master Tristan's behalf, and he is also a doctor as well."
"Oh? Is that so?"
Priscilla raised her eyebrows and muttered when she heard what Maya had said. Meanwhile, Laborn walked over with a glass of wine in his hand.
"Prissy, why are you standing alone in this corner? Why don't you go ahead and greet everyone? You're only a young child, so you should socialize more instead of standing by yourself here! Go ahead and welcome the new heir of the Acker family. After all, both of you are around the same age, so you all can get along well together."
Laborn handed the glass in his hand to Priscilla as he said so.
After hearing this, Priscilla was slightly startled. However, she immediately understood what Laborn was trying to say.
Urgh! This devious b*stard!
Laborn couldn't persuade Tristan to join him, so he was trying to ask Priscilla to seduce Tristan instead!
Urgh! Tristan was a man with a dismembered face, so she didn't care whether he was the wealthy heir to some powerful family.
After all, she had no interest in him.
She was only interested in men who had handsome faces!
However, she could see the warning in Laborn's eyes. Therefore, she didn't have a say in this matter at all.
"All right."
Priscilla answered sarcastically as she took the wine glass from Laborn's hand.
If her guess was correct, Laborn must have drugged the wine glass in her hand.
However, she was a princess of the country. How could she ruin her reputation to win over a businessman?
This was ridiculous!
Well, Priscilla had always disliked Laborn, but now, she detested him.
Hah! Did he want her to seduce a man who had a ruined face?
She would never do that!
At this thought, Priscilla held the wine glass in her hand and walked towards Tristan slowly.
On the other hand, the crowd was stunned to see Priscilla walking over carrying her a wine cup. Meanwhile, Prestin and Bernard snorted coldly.
Hah! Was she a princess?
No! She was merely a tool that the king could use to gather more forces! Therefore, how could he allow her to lead a carefree and leisurely life?
Even though Priscilla saw how other people were looking at her and knew what they were thinking, what could she do?
Suddenly, she turned over and walked to Teagan, who talked and laughed with the powerful families.
"Hello, Mr. Teagen Acker, would like you to have a drink with me?"
