Chapter 584: Come To My Place Tonight

Luana knew from the beginning that the child in her womb was a pawn in a larger game. Now, it was time to sacrifice it. But Luana was reluctant; the child was the embodiment of her love for the man she loved. Moreover, she was over five months pregnant, and feeling the baby move daily had become a cherished habit.

“Molly, I…” Luana began, then hesitated.

“What?” Molly demanded, her gaze gloomy. “Do you have an objection?”

Luana’s face paled. Terrified of Molly, she quickly shook her head. “No. Whatever you say, I’ll do.”

Only then did Molly withdraw her hand. “Good. Luana, understand you have no choice in this game. Obey me, and you’ll continue to enjoy your wealth and glory. Ruin my plan, and you’ll face the consequences!” Luana trembled with fear.

Chapter 581: Come To My Place Tonight

Olive left the palace, heading for her waiting car. Elvis approached, whispering, “Are you really marrying Liam?”

Olive nodded. “Yes, Mr. Augustine. I have business to attend to.”

Sadie held the car door open, and Olive was about to enter when Elvis's hand clamped down on her wrist. He pulled her against the car.

Startled, Olive looked up into Elvis’s grim, unhappy face. She frowned, struggling. “Elvis, what are you doing? We’re outside the palace; someone might see us!”

Elvis scoffed. “What are you afraid of? Afraid Liam learning about us will cost you the Princess of Gold City?”

Sadie’s expression changed at the sight of Elvis restraining Olive. “Mr. Augustine, please release Her Royal Highness!”

“Or else?” Elvis raised an eyebrow, looking at Sadie impassively.

Sadie, though accustomed to tense situations, felt intimidated by Elvis's gaze.

“Sadie, it’s alright,” Olive reassured her.

“Yes, Your Highness,” Sadie retreated.

Olive met Elvis’s gaze. “Elvis, what are you doing? You don’t care for me anymore, and have countless other women. What more do you want? Let me go!”

“Finished?” Elvis asked dismissively.

“Olive, you can’t marry Liam. Call it off!”

“I won’t!” Olive retorted.

Elvis sneered, his hand on her waist, his body looming over her. He spoke slowly, “Olive, why marry Liam? What’s your purpose in Greenland?”

Olive’s heart leaped. Had he guessed?

“I’ve heard the ancient country of Visionary disappeared when its ancestor sealed an ancient sword beneath its foundation. I’ve studied old maps. I believe that sword remains in the palace temple.”

“Only Royal Family members can enter the temple. But on your engagement day, you can pay homage and retrieve the sword, solving Visionary’s disappearance and enabling its revival.”

“Am I right?” Elvis asked.

Olive’s heart pounded. Even Liam didn’t know her purpose, but Elvis had guessed correctly. The Augustines were the world's leading business family, and Elvis, the world's top businessman, was also the head of the Red Mafia, possessing vast information, including the secret connection between Greenland and Visionary.

Elvis's eyes were sharp as a hawk. “Olive, if I tell Liam about the sword, will he still marry you? If you retrieve it, the temple will be affected by gravity, triggering an earthquake that destroys the temple and revives Visionary.”

Olive’s heart hammered. He was right.

She whispered, “Elvis, don’t tell Liam.”

Elvis frowned. “Why should I help you?”

“What do you want?” Olive asked.

Elvis leaned down, his lips brushing her ear. “Come to my place tonight. Wait for me.”

Olive’s eyes narrowed. He wanted her to spend the night. She wasn’t stupid; she knew his intentions.

“No way,” she shook her head. “Elvis, you have other women. Don’t make this difficult for me… I have a mission, responsibilities. I need to revive Visionary. Don’t tell Liam, and don’t interfere. Go back to Imperial…”

Seeing her lips urging him away, Elvis forcefully kissed her, a fierce, deliberate kiss meant to unsettle her.
