The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress

"I don’t know."

"So even the Queen doesn’t know. I thought the Chief Guard told you everything."

Gulit said, "No, I really know nothing."

Minnie looked at Gulit, whose gentle and vulnerable demeanor didn’t seem like someone with ambitions. Minnie tended to believe Gulit was coerced, forced.

If it’s really like what she imagined, then Gulit is too pitiful.

"Sigh... If only the former Sultan were still alive. If he were here, neither you nor the young Sultan would be working so hard."

Thinking of Kiya, Gulit’s feelings were complex. She actually had feelings for Kiya, but Kiya only had eyes for Paige, and wouldn’t pay any attention to her.

Her situation with Night Owl was forced, and she couldn’t face Kiya.

Seeing Gulit’s sorrowful expression, Minnie realized she shouldn’t have mentioned Kiya earlier. Was she poking at her wound?

"Queen, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have brought up the former Sultan..."

Gulit shook her head, "I’m fine..."

Minnie came this time to find out about Sienna Johnson’s situation.

After some chatter, Minnie shifted the topic to the mysterious woman in Night Owl’s palace.

"I can’t deal with so much right now, I only care about Moore’s illness."

Gulit didn’t love Night Owl at all; she didn’t care how many women Night Owl had around. She just wanted a successful bone marrow match for her son so Moore could live healthily.

"Minnie, can you talk to the media for me?" Gulit grasped Minnie’s chubby hand, pleading urgently.

"I... Is the young Sultan really sick?"

Gulit burst into tears again, "I am his biological mother, would I curse him over something like this?"

Minnie thought it over and agreed; which mother would joke about such things?

"Alright, but I also need a favor from you."

"Go ahead."

"Can you help me find out who the woman living in the White Chamber Palace is? Or at least tell me what she looks like."

This was difficult for Gulit, "You mentioned it earlier, you can’t get in, and I guess neither can I."

"Isn’t the Chief Guard your cousin? Can’t you get in either?"

Gulit felt a bitter regret that was indescribable, "I’ll try to find out for you. But you must promise me to tell the media about Moore’s illness."

"Alright."

"Thank you."

"Queen, it’s my honor to help you."

The two reached an agreement, and Gulit had Hanna escort Minnie out. Hanna quickly returned after sending Minnie away.

Hanna said excitedly, "Princess, the young Sultan can be saved."

Gulit wasn’t as optimistic, "Hopefully."

She hoped that Anna would pity the child and guide him through these tough times.

"He certainly will," Hanna said firmly.

But Gulit was uneasy. She had never defied Night Owl’s orders, and this was the first time she took matters into her own hands. If Night Owl found out, her consequences wouldn’t be good.

In her haste to seek help from the not-so-familiar Minnie, Gulit knew it was inappropriate, but she had no other choice.

Night Owl intended to let Moore fend for himself, so she had to take risks.

At worst, she and Moore could die together.

...

By the lakeside,

Night Owl stood there, watching the lotus leaves starting to emerge from the water. Before long, the lake would be full of blooming lotus flowers.

She loved lotus flowers, so he planted a whole pond of them for her, and he would pick a huge bouquet for her every day...

Whatever Adrian Desmond could do for her, he could also do, and what Adrian couldn’t do, she could do for her.

Nissan reported to Night Owl, "Gulit told Minnie about Moore’s illness and asked Minnie to inform the media to spread the word to the citizens of Abyanabad."

Eavesdroppers are everywhere; Gulit thought closing the door was enough, but Nissan heard everything.

Night Owl didn’t say anything. Nissan asked, "Master, do you need me to take out Minnie?"

"Call Lithium over."

Nissan, reluctant to leave Night Owl, hoped to stay and serve him, but Night Owl had lost interest in her, refusing to sleep with her anymore.

Nissan didn’t move, daring a question, "Master, can I come to your room to serve you tonight?"

Night Owl moved his gaze from the lotus leaves to Nissan’s face, "Right now, I’m not interested in other women. I just want to sleep with one woman!"

Nissan knew who that woman was.

It’s the beautiful woman living in Night Owl’s chamber, and she’s someone else’s wife.

Nissan was jealous, but there was nothing she could do.

Nissan gazed at Night Owl with a look full of longing. Seeing no sign of interest from Night Owl, she put away her small thoughts.

"I’ll go get Lithium."

"Hmm."

...

Lithium was in the chamber, and Nissan was about to go inside but was stopped by the guards at the door.

Nissan said, "Why are you blocking me? The master asked me to find Lithium."

"Wait here, and I’ll call him."

The guards didn’t let Nissan in, leaving Nissan fuming. She said to another guard, "Do you know who I am?"

"Should I know who you are?"

"You!"

Nissan intended to teach the man who ignored her a lesson, but Lithium appeared.

"You looking for me?"

Nissan said, "It’s not me looking for you, it’s the master."

"Where is the master?"

"By the lake."

Lithium dared not delay and immediately went to find Night Owl.

Nissan, unwilling to give up, stood at the door peering inside, even attempting to rush in while the guards weren’t paying attention. But a guard directly drew a gun and aimed at Nissan, warning,

"The master said, whoever dares invade, shoot them outright!

Leave now if you don’t want to die!"

Nissan glared at the guard in anger yet had to leave.

No one could defy Night Owl’s orders, or there would be no other end but death!

...

Lithium found Night Owl by the lake, with Night Owl focused on the small lotus leaves in the water.

Night Owl planted these lotus flowers himself, choosing the seeds personally, and now he visited daily to see how they grew and if they bloomed yet?

"Master," Lithium called.

Night Owl asked, "Did she have a good meal today?"

"She didn’t eat breakfast but had a bit of Orienta cuisine."

"Why did she eat so little?"

Because Sienna Johnson missed her child, wanting to return home, but Lithium didn’t dare say so.

"Change the chef," Night Owl commanded.

"Yes."

Night Owl said, "Just now, Nissan said Gulit sought Minnie’s help to spread the news of Moore’s illness. You need to handle this; Moore’s illness must not be disseminated."
