Mike got up and brushed off blades of grass from his body. "It is much better now. When Miss Mia Newton was even younger, she used to stumble while learning to walk. Every time, Jaxson would cry even louder than her. Eventually, I think Miss Mia Newton was so astonished that she had cried less since then."
Ottilie found it quite amusing.
She even let out a chuckle.
The situation at the royal family's end was pretty awkward.
After all, it was Simon who started the fight, and Athena merely responded in kind.
Who would have thought they had brought Simon back to the palace only to kill him right under their noses?
Moreover, it wasn't just any death.
It was known worldwide.
The royal family, Imbe Group, and Stella Group had worked together, which wasn't surprising.
Their partnership wasn't that significant, either.
But things were different when it came to the Timberlake family from Northen Canakey.
Their cooperation with the royal family ran deep.
If they ended up in a serious conflict over what happened to Simon, they would have a hard time going forward.
Evie, now married into the Timberlake family, even put an additional 30 million dollar bounty on the dark web, making her one of the people hunting down Simon.
She made her stance crystal clear.
Meanwhile, Simon's mother was sobbing next to the lifeless body of her son.
The queen was her cousin.
She knelt before her cousin and said, "Your Majesty, the daughter of the Stella family humiliated the royal family and caused Simon's death. We absolutely could not let this go unanswered!"
