[Margaret’s Perspective]
Because of the current tinderbox situation, that woman and Henry didn’t really make a move against . How could she dare to touch , being nothing more than a powerless figurehead?
Lillian was rely trying to show off her authority in front of and then use her words to embarrass . But with her poor articulation, she never had a chance to gain any advantage over ! She wasn’t even a match for Elizabeth when it ca to verbal sparring and irritating others.
Brand had been nervous ever since Lillian entered the room, but seeing the current situation, he gradually relaxed, sensing that Lillian wouldn’t pose any threat to !
Indeed, it had proven true. Lillian’s thoughts were still stuck on competing with out of jealousy, but the reality of the situation wasn’t that simple. Donald never had eyes for her, and I never considered her a rival in love.
This ludicrous love triangle probably only existed in her naive imagination.
Having failed to find fault, Lillian was nearly enraged to death, but luckily, the next person to push the door open provided her an out, saving her the embarrassnt of not being able to exit gracefully.
"Why are you here too? Who let you in? If you keep failing to control yourself, I wouldn’t mind having Austin lock you up directly!"
Following Henry was Alpha Levi of the Spirit Dragon Pack; these two coming to see together probably wasn’t good news.
Thinking this silently, I no longer gave Lillian any attention and turned to resu my seat.
With her biggest support not present, Lillian didn’t dare confront Henry directly; she could only force herself to control her emotions, shooting a fierce glare before leaving.
Henry glanced at her departing figure with the corner of his eye, then withdrew his gaze after a long mont, "What was her purpose in coming here?" Henry asked directly.
Facing the constant appearance of these people, I was sowhat speechless. I looked down at the silver handcuffs on my wrist and didn’t intend to talk with Henry.
But this madman couldn’t be avoided just by staying silent. He took a seat across from , looked at , and continued, "It’s okay if you don’t want to talk to . Would you like to know the news about Donald, though?"
At his words, I paused my movents and looked up coldly at him, "What exactly do you want, get to the point and don’t waste ti!"
Henry smiled and spoke, "As expected, only matters concerning Donald can catch your attention. I win again, do you admit defeat, Levi?"
His words were clearly not directed at . I took a breath, my cool gaze flowing between him and Levi.
Levi seed unwilling to speak with Henry either; hearing this, he only humd with a laugh and looked down at , speaking directly, "You must know about Donald’s plan to attack Poison Snake Island. What is his exact strategy? What secrets is he plotting with Gino? You all have been close with the Marine Supervision Bureau, certainly, you have other plans. You better tell everything you know, or else..."
Levi paused, his held gun shifting to point directly at my head!
"Or else what? If you’re going to threaten soone, you might as well finish your line," I said, helping him complete it, though he narrowed his eyes coldly at . I hooked a corner of my mouth, attempting to explain, "You ask things I’m not privy to. Donald rarely talks to about his work, so I really don’t know."
"If you tone down that sarcasm in your eyes a bit, then maybe I’d find that believable, but now, do you think I would believe you?"
If the situation weren’t so unsuitable, I truly wanted to roll my eyes at Levi. He, like Henry, loved to talk nonsense.
: "..."
My silence made Levi a bit embarrassed; he took a deep breath and continued, "You fear nothing, but would you fear for this young man’s life because of you?"
As he spoke, he moved the gun to point at Brand nearby.
I stood up, looking at him with an increasingly frosty expression, but didn’t speak.
Brand, with the gun pointed at him, tensed up, his eyes darting briefly towards , showing no plea for help but a flicker of resignation.
At that mont, I wasn’t catching onto Brand’s emotions; I was just staring at Levi, my mind racing for a solution.
"Dealing with Donald must be headache enough for you and Henry, right? Brand’s father is the director of the Marine Supervision Bureau, Berton. Are you sure you want to kill him now and directly provoke the entire Lilo Sea?" I said harshly, slowly moving to stand in front of Brand.
Levi wasn’t as tall as Donald, but I still had to tilt my head up to et his cold, narrow eyes.
His gun was pressed against my chest, and though I was scared, I dared not gamble with Brand’s life! Levi, like Henry, was mad and obsessive.
The scene beca a tense standoff. Neither I nor Levi backed down, while Henry watched leisurely from the sidelines.
"Margaret!"
Brand’s hoarse, tense voice rose behind , dispersing so of the tension at the scene.
