The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye) novel Chapter 1381

On the other hand, Tristan didn't care about their relationship. After all, all he needed to do was to bring Denver out safely.

Then, all of them walked out hurriedly while carrying Laborn's edict.

Meanwhile, Laborn didn't know that Tristan had brought Denver away. The only thing he knew was that Tristan and Priscilla had slept together, so he had forgotten about basic etiquette as he had been mesmerized by Priscilla. However, he had overlooked Tristan's impolite actions for the sake of the head of the Acker family, as the latter had promised to consider investing in military research. Hence, Laborn felt a little relieved right now.

Although it was a little shameful for his daughter to marry a personal assistant, there was nothing more important than his military research. As long as Tristan was willing to invest in this research, he could quickly expand his military influence. When that happened, he could finally carry on with his plans!

Well, he would be sacrificing one of his daughters at most, but it didn't matter as he never favored this daughter anyway.

At this thought, Laborn ignored Priscilla and Tristan. In fact, he was glad that both of them were not at the national banquet as they had not embarrassed themselves. After all, it was pretty embarrassing for a princess to fall in love with an assistant.

On the other hand, when Teagan received the news that Tristan had gone out, he got up and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for your hospitality today. I am a little tired, so I want to go back first."

"Okay, go back and rest. Also, I hope that you can think about investing in military research. I'm looking forward to your participation."

"Alright, I'll think about it."

After finishing his words, Teagan got up and left.

This state banquet was held for the sake of the head of the Acker family. Therefore, since the main character had left, other people should've left too. However, Laborn made everyone stay behind.

Bernard was missing, so he had to give Atlas an explanation for this matter.

"Did anyone of you see Bernard?"

Laborn looked at every one of them with a sharp gaze, so the people in the hall couldn't help but feel nervous.

Meanwhile, Lebanon was slightly stunned when

he heard this.

Was Bernard missing?

What on earth was going on?

On the other hand, Prestin didn't say anything because the men he had sent out hadn't returned yet. Therefore, he didn't know what Bernard was doing outside, but he absolutely didn't want Laborn to find out the truth, so he could only play dumb.

Other people knew that Bernard was very special to Laborn, so no one dared to offend him. When they heard Laborn's question, they were all shocked as they had various expressions on their faces.

After looking at everyone, Laborn didn't manage to find out anything. Hence, he could only say in a low voice, "I don't care who has a grudge against Bernard. Look, I have said that no one is allowed to touch him. If I find out that anyone of you is doing something behind my backs to hurt him, I will definitely take action!"

When Lebanon heard these words, he lowered his face and sneered secretly. However, sis face was expressionless, so no one could tell what he was thinking.

On the other hand, Laborn became more upset as he didn't manage to find anything out.

Furthermore, his men had not returned as well.

"Well then, you may all go back. A lot of disturbing things have happened recently, so I hope that you will all not go out if you don't have anything to do."

This meant that Laborn was ordering them to stay in their respective palaces. Well, although he didn't say that they were grounded, they were pretty much not allowed to leave without permission anymore.

After hearing this, Lebanon and Prestin snorted at the same time. Then, they went back to their palaces with their subordinates.

Meanwhile, while Denver followed Tristan to get in the car, he saw the head of the Acker family coming over. He had gotten in the same car as Tristan. As soon as he got in the car, he said to Tristan, "Sir, are you really planning to bring Princess Prissy back?"

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Tristan looked atTeagan and asked.

Teagan shook his head and replied softly, "Well, if she belongs to you, I'm okay with that. I was just afraid that Laborn sent her over to watch your actions."

"No, she's one of Nathaniel's subordinates."

Tristan answered and did not hide anything from Teagan.

Both of them did not hide their conversation from the other people from the car, so Denver was slightly stunned when he heard this. Of course, he had managed to understand something, but he was smart enough not to ask about it.

To him, the relationship between Tristan and the person impersonating the head of the Acker family was none of his business. However, he had a mysterious look in his eyes when he heard that Priscilla was working for Nathaniel.

On the other hand, Anaya had been staring at Denver all this while. Thus, she couldn't help feeling a little jealous when she saw him looking at Priscilla.

Then, she pulled Denver, who was slightly stunned. After that, he smiled and patted her head to comfort her before asking, "Are you cold?"

Anaya was wearing thin clothes, and it was winter now. This place was much colder than B City, so he had asked her this question.

However, Anaya turned her head and ignored him.

Why did Denver look at Priscilla while he was in deep thought?

Wasn't Tristan attracted to Prissy?

Did the mean that Denver was interested in her too?

At this thought, Anaya secretly glanced at the

Priscilla, who was still sleeping. Well, Priscilla was quite pretty indeed.

Hence, she couldn't help but touch her own face.

She was indeed not very beautiful, and she was also disabled. Oh, well. No wonder why Denver always wanted to see other girls.
