Chapter 643

Chapter 643:

Seeing my dazed state, Alice quickly took my hand, her voice soft with concern. “Makenna, don’t overthink this. The three princes aren’t idiots; they won’t fall for Evelyn’s schemes. Remember, Antoni suggested something similar to the king before, but the princes didn’t take him seriously and didn’t do a thing about it.”

I forced a smile, bitter and hollow, my insides twisting with helplessness. “Alice, you don’t understand… Evelyn… she’s different.”

Alice frowned, clearly worried, and sighed. “You’re right. Evelyn’s older sister did save their lives…”

The atmosphere grew tense, like a storm brewing on the horizon. Alice shook my arm gently, her voice filled with urgency. “Makenna, I really think you should go see the three princes now. They care about you more than anyone knows. We all know what they feel for you. If you go to them, they’ll explain everything.”

I hung my head, my mind swirling in turmoil. After a long pause, I realized Alice might be right. It seemed like the only choice I had left.

Once Alice left, I nervously made my way to the residences of the three princes.

I went to Bryan’s place first, but the servants there told me he wasn’t home. Then I tried Dominic’s and Clayton’s residences, only to find they weren’t there either.

Finally, standing at Clayton’s door, I pressed the servants for answers, and they told me the king had summoned them to the grand hall.

Despair weighed heavily on me as I walked away from Clayton’s villa, feeling like a hollow shell. I wandered the streets aimlessly, like a lost soul adrift in a sea of confusion.

I couldn’t understand why everything always seemed to fall apart this way, as if some invisible hand were pulling the strings and I was just a puppet dancing to its tune.

Lost in my own thoughts, I walked without purpose, unaware of the passage of time, until I found myself in the garden.

Before I could fully grasp what was happening, I heard laughter and cheerful voices floating on the breeze.

Instinctively, I lifted my gaze and saw Leonardo seated in the garden gazebo, with Bryan, Dominic, and Clayton standing beside him. Evelyn stood at the center of the group, basking in their attention.

I froze in place, my eyes locked on the scene before me, unable to look away.

Leonardo, who always treated us sex slaves with cold indifference, was now gazing at Evelyn with warmth in his eyes.

As for the three princes, I had never seen them smile at any woman the way they were smiling at Evelyn. Their laughter cut through me like a blade. Each smile was like another shard of glass embedding itself into my heart.

It was clear—Evelyn was different.

Pain washed over me, and I couldn’t stand to watch any longer. I spun around in a daze, desperate to escape the suffocating weight of it all.

But in my sorrow, I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going and collided with someone with a jarring thud.

“Ha.” A light, mocking laugh rang out above me.

Then, a voice I knew all too well sounded, dripping with sarcasm. “What’s wrong, Makenna? Seeing all of this, are you heartbroken?”

I frowned, annoyed, and looked up. Of course, it was Antoni.

Makenna’s POV:

The moment I saw Antoni, a wave of irritation washed over me, and I immediately wanted to slip away from this insufferable man.
