Chapter 254
The voice wasn’t loud, but its tone carried unmistakable authority.Clenching her fists, Valentina let out a low growl before turning around.“Mom, are you going to turn a blind eye to what Martin is doing?” she said firmly, struggling to hold back her anger. “Are you just going to let him do whatever he wants? Is that what you expect me to do?”“Fool!” Silvana snapped, striding forward in her high heels—quick, yet incredibly graceful.At her age, her face and figure were not much different from her daughters’.“How could you say something like that to me?” she continued. “Is that really what you think of me?” Her sharp gaze locked onto Valentina’s as she stopped just inches away.At such a close distance, they no longer looked like mother and daughter—but like two female fighters about to clash in an MMA ring.“If you want to be angry, then be angry. If you want to beat people up like you always do, then go ahead.”As she spoke, Silvana kept her eyes fixed forward, clearly seeing her

But before she could go any farther, a voice sounded in her ears.“V, where are you going?”Gianna, who had just stepped out of the car, didn’t understand why her younger sister was heading in a different direction instead of toward the palace’s main entrance.Seeing that Valentina didn’t seem to hear her, Gianna quickly hurried after her.“V, what are you doing? What are you thinking?”At that question, Valentina abruptly stopped.“Gianna, you’re still asking me that?”That was what she said as she raised her hand, pointing toward the distance without turning her head toward her second sister.“Look. Look at who’s over there.”Valentina wasn’t shouting, but Gianna could easily tell from her voice that she was holding back an immense amount of anger.“Martin?” Gianna exclaimed, her eyes widening as a clear expression of sadness and disappointment appeared on her face.Just like Valentina, she hadn’t expected Martin to do something like that behind their backs—being alone with another
Chapter 252
Meanwhile, at the same time—“Quinn?”Valentina, who had just stepped out of the car, frowned when she saw her older sister coming from a different direction than she should have—her head lowered, her face tense, as if she were holding back shattered emotions.Valentina might have only found out two days ago that the woman just a year older than her was her biological sister. She might have only grown close to Quinn over the past three months.But she knew very well that Quinn was not someone who easily appeared shaken—let alone weak.Quinn was a very strong woman.And if there was anyone similar to her, it was their mother.Seeing her sister’s expression now, Valentina felt as if her own heart were in pain.Now she understood just how deep Quinn’s anxiety was at the thought of this forced engagement with the prince.But at the same time, she also realized the opposite.So your feelings for Martin run that deep?Valentina bit her lower lip as she shook her head weakly.Whether she lik

“You don’t need to worry. Something like that won’t happen again.”Even though he said it with a serious expression, his overly casual tone still left Lana unsatisfied.She knew Martin very well.A man who would never hesitate to sacrifice himself for his team would never just stand by and do nothing if something happened to her.And that was exactly what made her uneasy.“Martin, please. Promise me, okay?”Not only did her pleading expression make her look like she was about to cry in desperation, but her hands—once resting on Martin’s shoulders—now moved down to grasp both of his hands.“I really don’t want anything to happen to you. I…”She wanted to say that she was extremely anxious right now.Not seeing him for three years had only made it harder to face the thought of being separated from him again.And there was a reason why a Spectre like her was acting like a sulking child.Because of what Martin had done—pressing the alarm button—Jayden had punished him by assigning him out
Chapter 250
And now, a girl with such charm was standing right in front of her husband, placing her hands on his shoulders—showing a gesture far too intimate to be called merely an “old acquaintance.”Not just her—any wife would surely think the same.“That girl… Lana, right?”Walking beside the palace officer, Quinn lowered her head, her face tense with the storm of thoughts raging in her mind.“And that look…”Martin might possess an extraordinary mind for reading patterns. But a woman—especially someone with thoughts as complex as Quinn—also had an equally sharp ability to read human emotions.She might have never met Lana in person before. But just from the way that girl looked at her husband, it was already more than enough to make one thing clear.That girl had very deep feelings for him.“No. Why am I thinking like this right now?” Quinn thought, the corners of her eyes beginning to moisten. “I shouldn’t be thinking such things… not about Martin.”Her husband had never mentioned having any
Chapter 249
Two months earlier.“Quinn, the reason I allowed Gianna to stay here is actually because…”Over the past month, as Martin’s relationship with his wife had grown much closer, it felt rather odd to have another woman—especially someone as beautiful as Valentina—living in the same house with them.That was why Martin gave a brief explanation, saying that the girl might be in serious danger if she were to live outside on her own.“I’m a former soldier,” Martin continued, feeling that there was no longer any need to hide his identity from his wife.Of course, he didn’t say anything about Spectre or that he had once been number one in Norvia’s most elite military unit.Not for any particular reason—just that it was all in the past, and he didn’t think it was important enough to tell Quinn.Not only that.Martin also showed a few photos—very few—that remained from his past, one of which was taken during a mission in a region of Asia.“Hold a second,” Quinn said, who had been leaning against
