“If the Shipley family had the slightest intention to kill me, they wouldn’t be stupid enough to do it like this.”
After all, the three dukes had gotten their dreams shattered in a bloody storm. They had found top assassins on the International 3S Assassin List, and that poor Duke Millie had sought her and Selina out, wanting them to kill Sunny.
There was only peace in Luntan now because people no longer dared to threaten Nuannuan. If they were, they would certainly not get only ten A-rank mercenaries for the job. They would be mere playthings to her.
“So that’s how it is.” Sophie understood the situation.
“So, Uncle, don’t listen to Amisha in the future. I’m not worried about how much Aunt hated the Shipley family yesterday. Because she knows me and knew that I would be fine, she held back her anger. But what if it wasn’t me who was in trouble yesterday, but someone else? Uncle, Amisha fed you misinformation, and you ran to tell Aunt that this was done by the Shipley family. What if Aunt had attacked the Shipley family in a fit of rage?”
“But…” Armand said with some sadness, “Sunny, are you blaming Amisha for this because you hate her so much? Why are you saying this?”
“Why am I saying this?!” Nangong Nuannuan asked. “Have you forgotten that Carol from the Shipley family was Amisha’s friend? But Amisha never treated her like a friend. She always treated her like a lackey. Even though I didn’t like Carol either, she was still a good person thanks to Kerlow. She would never covet something that didn’t belong to her. Amisha always thought she was much better than Carol. After her divorce, Carol found a Marquisdom family. She’s doing much better than Amisha now. If the Shipley family is destroyed, Carol will have nothing again. So, she wants to hurt Carol.”
King Armand was stunned by Nangong Nuannuan’s words. After a long while, he replied, “That can’t be… Carol is still her friend.”
Nangong Nuannuan only smiled and did not say anything else.
She felt that she had already wasted too much breath on her uncle.
He probably would never come to his senses unless he was held at gunpoint.
Nuannuan could only say to Empress Sophie, “Aunt, in any case, don’t let that Amisha so casually stroll into the palace ever again.”
“Okay.” Knowing that Nangong Nuannuan was doing this for their own good, Empress Sophie immediately agreed.
Armand did not say anything else.
“Oh, right, Nuannuan. I knew that you were coming back, so Leyton is coming over later. He needs surgery the day after tomorrow, so he’ll be admitted to the hospital tomorrow. If you’re free today, please help him with acupuncture.”
“Okay.” Nangong Nuannuan nodded. “Even if you hadn’t told me that, I was going to look for him in the next two days. I promised to give him acupuncture every half a month until the surgery, but i the end, I stayed in Camino for more than half a year and forgot about this matter.”
Sophie smiled and said, “He won’t blame you.”
“How has he been recently?”
“Other than his illness, everything is fine. But that illness has been weighing on my heart. I’m afraid he’ll die early after the surgery.”
“He won’t,” Nangong Nuannuan said. “As long as we find him a suitable heart, his body won’t reject it. There won’t be any problems. Don’t worry.”
