Stanley didn't care about the impact of his actions. After toasting, he respectfully stepped aside.
Selena was busy accepting toasts from the nobles.
Lillian watched the scene and smiled, speaking to Stanley who was standing next to her, "It's a shame that Selena's boyfriend didn't come with her on such a high-profile occasion."
Stanley's eyes turned cold. "I heard Miss Lillian recently met someone she likes. Who is this gentleman?"
Lillian lowered her gaze and there was a moment of tenderness in her eyes. "Stanley, as long as you promise not to compete with me for Selena's position, I can guarantee that she will be yours... What do you say?"
Selena couldn't go back now; it was a fact.
Even if she successfully killed Lillian and helped those people get justice, she could never go back.
The Riddle Group aristocracy would never allow bloodlines to mix.
Stanley looked deep into Lillian's eyes. "It's an enticing deal but unfortunately... Miss Lillian, may I ask what made you suddenly have such a 'merciful' decision?"
According to Lillian's character, killing Selena and cutting off all loose ends should have been what she would do.
Lillian smiled gently as she looked at Selena smiling at the nobles on stage while offering them drinks. She thought of another face that was equally elegant but pale: "Consider it me... making a mistake occasionally."
She had killed his sister once before.
If she were to kill again then surely he would hate her?
But Lillian didn't really care whether or not he hated her.
Lillian didn't care about Stanley's sarcasm and continued smiling gently. "Just like you and Selena, we're all human beings... we naturally have emotions."
Stanley glanced over at Robert beside him. "Is that so?"
Lilian kept her gaze fixed on Selena's face but suddenly lost her gentle tone when speaking again: "So Mr. Soo, are you willing to work with me?"
Stanley's eyes turned icy as he looked towards Selena; there was an emotion in his eyes which made people tremble with fear: "No, that position will be His Majesty's, and His Majesty…will eventually be mine."
Lilian gave Stanley a deep look before smiling slightly again: "Then let's wait and see."
As she spoke elegantly while walking towards where Robert stood nearby.
After she left, Selena walked over and asked, "What were you talking about with Lillian just now?"
