Suzy already had a few suspicions about the connection between Simon and Evangeline, but they were just
suspicions. What if things weren't as she imagined? She needed to hear it directly from him.
"About Evangeline and me..." Simon hesitated, his handsface tinged with a faint, almost imperceptible
blush. "Initially, there was nothing between us. But because she looked a lot like our mother, | started paying
attention to her. One thing led to another, and eventually, we... got together."
"So, what you're saying is, Evangeline is my sister-in-law?" Suzy stared at him, stunned. She had thought she
was overthinking things, but it turned out to be true.
Which meant that everything Serena said wasn't accurate.
Simon's blush deepened at her words. "I suppose you could say that. | had been planning to introduce you to her
eventually, but... now's not the time. Evangeline has too many enemies around her, and | don't want you to get
dragged into her troubles."

conversation. "What about Evangeline and Serena? What's their relationship like?"
"On the surface, they're the perfect sisters, but behind closed doors, Serena despises Evangeline and has been
trying to eliminate her every chance she gets."
"Why?" Suzy frowned. "That's her own sister, and she acts like such a loving one, too."
"What else could it be about? The throne, of course," Simon said, his voice heavy with frustration. He began
explaining further. “Here, even though the monarchy is hereditary, succession isn't purely based on birthright.
It's also determined by what they call destiny.
"As long as a child is born to the empress, any daughter-legitimate or illegitimate- has the right to inherit the
throne. But whether or not

“Serena, on the surface, acted supportive and proud of Evangeline. But deep down, she couldn't accept it. They
shared the sfather, so why did Evangeline have everything while she had nothing? That jealousy drove her
to secretly align with Helena, who had faked her death."
"So that's the truth!" Suzy frowned deeply, the pieces of the puzzle finally falling into place. "Helena really isn't
dead. This whole conspiracy was orchestrated by Serena and
Helena.

so much about us and our relationship? You mentioned earlier that Dad is here too. Could it be connected?"
Simon's expression grew more serious as he stared at Suzy for a long moment before nodding slowly.
"Yes, it's connected. Helena and Charlotte were close friends-they met as classmates when studying abroad.
"When everything started to unravel, Charlotte sent Dad here and had Helena hide him. From the moment |
found out Dad was here, I've been searching for months, but so far, | haven't been able to locate him."
