    Princess Sophia's training in reading people and situations was serving her well. Something deep in her intuition was screaming that there was definitely something dangerous in that original food spread."They probably thought I wasn't going to literally invite Uncle Festus's wife to eat alongside me," she reasoned silently. "They assumed I would taste everything alone, which would have made their plan work perfectly.""But now that I've insisted she join me in the tasting, they're panicking and want to completely change the scenario to protect themselves."Princess Sophia felt a cold satisfaction wash over her as she realized she had inadvertently exposed their plot.However, she decided to play along with their charade perfectly, maintaining her gracious royal composure.“No problem, no problem at all,” she said with a warm, encouraging smile. “Since you really want to start everything from scratch and show us your absolute best work, I don't have any objection to that whatsoever.

    Immediately upon hearing what Uncle Fester's wife just said, Princess Sophia laughed warmly and clapped her hands together with genuine delight.“Well, no problem at all then,” she said enthusiastically, her eyes sparkling with excitement. “You are going to literally make everything so much more lively and thoughtful with your input.”Princess Sophia gestured toward the elaborate spread of dishes before them.“And together, we will make sure that this establishment actually rises to another incredible height. Your friend deserves all the success in the world.”At that moment, Uncle Festus's wife smiled broadly and nodded, appearing genuinely happy on the surface. However, beneath her cheerful exterior, she was feeling quite conflicted and anxious. The thought of having to taste the food especially alongside Princess Sophia was making her extremely uncomfortable for reasons she couldn't reveal.As Princess Sophia turned momentarily to admire a particularly beautiful dessert display, U

    Immediately, Princess Sophia nodded her head gracefully, her royal training evident in her poised response.“No problem at all,” she said with a warm smile. “I'm excited to see what you've prepared.”They stepped through the ornate glass doors and into the restaurant's main dining area. The moment they crossed the threshold, the rich aroma of expertly prepared cuisine filled their senses.Uncle Festus's wife paused to look around with obvious pride, taking in the stunning scene before them. Her friend had clearly outdone herself the entire space was neatly arranged with meticulous attention to detail. Various elaborate dishes were lined up along elegant serving tables, each one looking extraordinarily beautiful and professionally presented.Crystal glasses caught the soft lighting, silverware gleamed against pristine white tablecloths, and fresh flowers adorned every surface. The restaurant looked like something from a high-end culinary magazine.“Oh my goodness,” Uncle Festus's wife

    “And I know it would be literally wrong if you two keep on with this enmity among yourselves,” Uncle Festus's wife continued, shaking her head with exaggerated concern. “It is very, very bad, and I am definitely not in support of this kind of family division.”She reached out and gently touched Princess Sophia's arm, her expression becoming more motherly and serious.“So I know you are wise enough to literally apologize to your head sister when the time is right. These things need to be mended properly.”Her voice took on a more cautionary tone as she glanced around the restaurant entrance.“Because you see, relationships may come and go Tyler might leave, anything could happen in the future. I'm not praying for anything bad to happen between you two, and I'm certainly not hoping for any misunderstandings to develop between you and Tyler.”Then she paused meaningfully.“But even if romantic relationships change, your family will still remain. Blood is thicker than water, as they say

    The black sedan pulled up to the curb as the late afternoon sun cast golden shadows across the newly constructed building. Princess Sophia stepped out first, her heels clicking against the pristine sidewalk, followed closely by Uncle Festus's wife, who was practically glowing with excitement.As they approached the entrance, Princess Sophia's eyes widened in genuine amazement. The restaurant's exterior was stunning floor-to-ceiling windows gleamed in the sunlight, revealing glimpses of elegant chandeliers and rich mahogany furnishings within.“Oh my goodness,” Princess Sophia breathed, her hand instinctively reaching for the glass door handle before stopping herself. “This place looks very, very put together. Everything looks so very well arranged.”She turned in a slow circle, taking in every detail from the hand-carved wooden sign bearing the restaurant's name to the carefully manicured planters filled with fresh herbs.“I can just imagine the incredible amount of work that has bee

    Immediately upon hearing what Evelyn just said, the man's expression changed completely. His eyes became ice-cold and deadly as he stared directly at Evelyn.“You better mind the manner in which you talk,” the man said, his voice dropping to a dangerous whisper. “Like seriously, you are getting on my nerves right now.”His gaze was so intense that Evelyn instinctively took a step back.“So I'm not going to respond to anything you just said. And just know that you better mind the way you speak to me.”The man's voice became even more threatening.“If not, you are definitely going to open some doors that you are not going to be able to get away from.”The room fell silent. Even the remaining officers looked uncomfortable with the tension.At that moment, Evelyn's shock turned into defiance.
