Charming Lady Hard to Chase After Being Dumped novel Chapter 1054

Joel and Nora were recognized as siblings in the eyes of the law, but in terms of blood relations, they were actually cousins. Although this meant that Peter and Mia were already a generation apart in blood relations, they were ultimately still second cousins. Therefore, they still couldn't be together.

He knew that his parents didn't care about such things. If he and Mia made up their minds to be together, even if they didn't hold the actual wedding itself, his parents would still give them their blessings.

However, he knew that Mia loved kids, and people in consanguineous marriages easily produced children with deformities.

In that case, he'd rather suppress his feelings than end up causing Mia to regret her decision in the future.

She was only fifteen; she still had many more years ahead of her. Peter didn't want to hold her back and cause her to have to pay for her folly in her youth after she grew up.

As the group chatted, Nora answered a phone call.

The caller was from the UK. There was faint anger in the Queen's voice as she said, "Now Black Cat, that's not quite nice of you. How can you snatch away all of our researchers?!"

Nora answered calmly,"... We didn't 'snatch' them away— they came with me of their own accord."

The Queen was well aware of this, of course, but no way was she going to admit to it.

She scoffed and said in a stuck-up manner, "You made me a laughingstock by snatching them away! No, I won't take this lying down. You have to compensate me for my losses!"

By saying that, she was actually indirectly giving them the green light to leave.

Of course, even if she didn't, Nora wouldn't lack ways and means to take the researchers home, either.

However, if she did, their journey home would certainly be a lot smoother.

"What kind of compensation do you want?" She asked.

"How about this? Have Alexander come over and keep Lucy company."

The little princess was extremely fond of Cherry and often flew over to the United States to visit since she was little. The Queen had always turned a blind eye to her actions because she thought that it would be nice if her daughter had a close friend.

She had only brought up Alexander because she knew that Peter would be going home to take over the Hunts' businesses. However, this meant that Alexander was free, wasn't he? That was why she wanted him to keep her daughter company. Maybe she would have a chance of luring him to stay in the UK with the title of an earl or something in the future, who knows...?

The more the Queen thought about it, the more she found it a good deal.

After all, Alexander was the next King of the Imperial League!

It would be fantastic if she could get him to stay in the UK!

The Queen asked, "Isn't he studying overseas right now? Have him come over and tutor Lucy a little and see if he can make her a star student. I'm not asking for too much, am I?"

"Not at all."

Nora didn't show the least bit of hesitation in selling her son out. However, she did set a condition. "But this means that you'll give our organization the green light whenever we save people from the UK in the future, right?"

The Queen:"!!!"

"How many more are you planning to save?!"

Nora said, "Everyone who wants to go back to their homeland."

The Queen was furious. "Don't push your luck, Nora!"
