Chapter 1494: Chapter 1493: Her Scheme

"Hmph, what Admiral’s wife!"

Sophie Linwood scoffed, sneering:

"If she hadn’t clung to a man, what would she be?!"

Isn’t she just a man-enticing vixen?

Sophie’s tone was dripping with disdain, disbelief.

The driver said, "Miss, don’t doubt it, it’s true, Miss Eva Nightingale’s friend did marry the Sovereign Empire’s Admiral."

"That’s what the detective agency said..."

The driver’s words made Sophie’s face instantly sour, and she glared at him: "Can you drive properly? Can’t even watch the road!"

"Yes, yes." The driver shuddered in fright.

When several women arrived at the beauty salon, they entered together. Since Sophie Linwood was considered a socialite in Z Nation, a true wealthy heiress, many people tried to curry favor with her.

In Z Nation, the Linwood Family not only had long-standing ties with the Coldwell Family, but Sophie also had been childhood friends with Liam Coldwell.

Everyone thought that she and Liam Coldwell had that kind of relationship...

Outside, Sophie often used him as a topic, so those uninformed would think that the Imperial President truly had an interest in her.

...

At the evening party, Lucas Knight entered the lounge with a glass of wine.

Tonight at the gathering at the TK International Seven-Star Hotel, there were many business moguls, but his identity was unique. Even those business giants had to make way for him, a must-respect situation.

Harry North, sharp-eyed, followed into the lounge: "Crown Prince, are you feeling unwell?"

Hearing this, the lazily positioned man raised his head slightly and looked at Harry: "No."

He wasn’t feeling unwell!

He was just holding the phone the whole time, occasionally glancing at it—no messages, no calls.

Harry, sharp-eyed again, glanced at the man’s hand, looked at the phone, and seemed to understand something.

So, the Crown Prince, was waiting for Miss Eva Nightingale’s call?

"Go ahead, I’ll sit for a while." Lucas Knight was clearly issuing a dismissal.

"Yes, Crown Prince. I’ll leave now, let me know if anything comes up." With those words, Harry exited the banquet hall.

Simultaneously, in the hotel corner, Sophie Linwood, wearing a semi-transparent lace dress, mingled into the party.

"So that’s the Imperial President, much more handsome than in the magazine publications..."

She merely caught a glimpse of the side profile and already felt her heart racing.

Her lips curled slightly, thinking, hmph, she must defeat Eva at all costs! Defeat her, and no one will ever hinder her again!

Eva, brace yourself for defeat...

Sophie had planned for a long time, wanting to deal with Eva, yet it wasn’t easy. On one side was Liam Coldwell, on the other was Lucas Knight... If she struck, success would mean foolproof, but if failed, it would not only spell her doom but also embroil the entire Linwood clan.

But so what!

She was bound to win...

...

All the way until late at night, Lucas Knight hadn’t received Eva’s call, nor even a text message.

Returning to the hotel, he shed his clothes and went to shower and sleep.

The next day, Lucas Knight was awakened by a phone call, grabbed his phone, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and answered.

"Hubby." A woman’s soft and sweet voice came through the phone, like a kitten that had done something wrong.

"Hmm?" The man, who always kept his emotions hidden, voiced expressionlessly, but inside he was already burning.
