Filed To Story: The Plan of Saving Nora Novel Free
The group then changed the subject and started talking about the current world economic situation and its future trends.
With regard to such topics, the people in front of Justin at the moment were all business partners, so he spoke freely.
As King, he had a very clear idea of future trends-in fact, he could even single-handedly steer things in any direction… His suggestions and ideas were of infinite help to an enterprise’s development.
The Queen became engrossed in what he was saying.
The British Royal Family also had its own little treasury, alright? She also wanted to make money. On the other hand, Queenie was a little absent-minded and didn’t show much interest.
Justin’s eyes darkened as he spoke.
For Queenie to lead NTT and turn it into the powerful enterprise that it currently was in Switzerland, she must have been highly perceptive to changes in the economy in the past. So, why did it feel like she wasn’t very motivated anymore? Were those NTT policies really made by her?
At the side, Nora was also falling asleep.
The Queen kept feeling like something was missing, but King usually wouldn’t give her a crash course. One could say that the one he was giving today was all thanks to Queenie.
King was obviously trying to give Queenie a hand so that she could join the Imperial League after her business reached greater heights. The Queen tried her best to memorize the few development trends that, according to King, were the most likely to make money in the future. How she wished that she could take out a small notebook and write it all down. Though she kept feeling like something was missing and not quite right, Justin simply spoke so well that she couldn’t help but be utterly engrossed in what he was saying.
This continued until Justin finally stopped. Even then, the Queen still hadn’t had enough, and she gazed at him with admiration in her eyes. The worship of someone was the foundation of love.
The Queen had fallen for Justin precisely because of his keen insight into the economy. Many years ago, after hearing just a few words from him, the Queen had established a small company and made millions of dollars!
Noon gradually approached.
Nora suggested, “Let’s have lunch?”
After speaking, she said to the butler, “Uncle John, why don’t you go and prepare a sumptuous lunch for the bodyguards too?”
John, the butler, looked at Barbarian and the others at once. He said, “Please come with me, everyone.”
Barbarian stood still.
The captain of the bodyguards looked at the Queen.
The Queen waved and said, “Go ahead. We’re at the Schmidts; no one would dare to harm me here.”
One could say that she was showing courtesy to Queenie by saying that.
Only then did the captain of the bodyguards leave.
However, Barbarian continued to stand still.
Nora looked at him. “Isn’t he going to eat?”
The Queen smiled and replied, “He’s a stubborn one. Since he has committed to protecting me, he won’t stop until I return to the hotel.”
After speaking, she looked at Barbarian and said, “You can go ahead too! There are so many skilled people here today, you don’t have to be here.”
Had it been before, Barbarian definitely wouldn’t leave.
After all, the incident with the fire had only just taken place. But today… He glanced at Nora and then bowed respectfully to the Queen. Then, he turned and followed after the guards.
Nora and Justin exchanged a look.
The V16 was right here at the Schmidts’. They’d asked the Queen to bring Barbarian here just so they could set up a trap to catch him!
If Barbarian didn’t leave but stayed here to watch over the Queen instead, how was he going to steal the V16?
Now that he was gone, Nora turned around and led the few of them to the dining room.
However, as the Queen looked at Barbarian and the bodyguards from the back, she finally realized what she had overlooked. She suddenly looked at Queenie and asked, “Mdm. Schmidt, how many bathrooms do you have here?”
“… Is something the matter?” asked Queenie. “I have a bodyguard named Black Cat. She said she was going to the bathroom, but why isn’t she back yet? Surely she didn’t fall into the potty, did she? I’ll go and look for her.” The Queen made a move to head out after she spoke. Black Cat hadn’t been assassinated, had she? Otherwise, why was she in the bathroom for over an hour?
Nora’s legs went limp and she almost stumbled.
Nora: “???”
No, really, why was the Queen constantly paying attention to a tiny little bodyguard? This didn’t make sense.
Nora frowned and said, “You probably don’t have to look for her.”
The Queen was puzzled. “Why?”
“… I’ll ask the butler to look for her, you don’t have to go yourself,” replied Nora.
The Queen thought for a moment. It was indeed lunchtime, so it wasn’t a good time to leave and search for someone. She nodded and said, “Alright. That bodyguard is a little bad at finding her way around, so you have to get the butler to bring her to me.”
“… Okay.”
At last, the Queen breathed a sigh of relief and the few of them went to the dining room with the children.
Queenie, as the hostess, took the head seat.
Nora sat to her left. By right, the three little ones should be sitting with her while the guests—Justin, the Queen, and Princess Lucysat opposite to them. The Queen glanced at Nora and said with a smile, “Mr. King, Lucy is rather naughty, so let’s have her sit at the side instead.”
With the three of them sitting together, if Lucy sat at the side, then the Queen would end up sitting next to Justin.
The mere thought of sitting side by side with King in front of Nora secretly thrilled her.
Was she cuckolding Nora by doing this?
Well, it was that woman’s fault for always adopting such a cocky attitude and ignoring everybody-including even the royalty’s authority-anyway…
With that in mind, the Queen pulled out the chair. She was about to sit when Cherry blinked and suddenly said, “Princess Lucy, I wanna sit with you!” The Queen: “?” She immediately looked at Lucy, hoping to stop her daughter from replying. Unfortunately, without even a second thought, Lucy immediately shouted excitedly, “I wanna sit with you too!”
Cherry immediately jumped off her chair, went around the five-meter-long dining table, and ran up to King, who was seated on the other side. The little fellow looked up at him and, in her young and tender voice, said, “Handsome… uncle, can we switch seats? I wanna sit next to Lucy, yeah!”
Justin looked at his daughter whom he hadn’t seen for a month and then stretched out his hand and ruffled her hair.
His daughter’s hair was as fine, soft, and delicate as ever, which stirred his heart. In particular, the little fellow’s sly appearance as she blinked with her big dark eyes made him chuckle out loud.
Justin asked softly, “Don’t you want to sit with… me?”
Cherry pouted when she heard him.
Of course she wanted to sit with her handsome daddy.
Little Cherry loved her handsome daddy the most, alright?
But when compared with Mommy, she’d better give her handsome father to Mommy instead!
Thus, even though Cherry was in a huge dilemma, she nevertheless nodded and replied, “… I wanna sit with Lucy even more!”
At once, the five-year-old Princess Lucy waved her little paws excitedly and automatically switched positions with the Queen. This way, she would be next to Cherry!
In a lively and adorable manner, she also said, “I also want to sit with Cherry!”
Justin stood up and walked around the dining table to the seat that originally belonged to Cherry-in other words, the seat beside Nora. He turned his head sideways to Nora and asked, “Ms. Smith, you don’t mind if I sit here, right?”
The man’s voice was low and deep, and his voice carried a bit of mirth when he spoke, making it sound extraordinarily seductive.
Nora nodded. “I don’t.”
“Okay.”
However, the man didn’t take the seat. Instead, he pulled out the chair for Nora in a very gentlemanly manner first.
An unceremonious Nora immediately sat down.
The Queen: “!!!”
As she looked at the sumptuous spread laid out all over the table, she suddenly felt like she had lost her appetite!
Is it really okay for you guys to show off how deeply in love you guys are in front of me?
She walked to the edge huffily and pushed away the servant who was about to pull the chair out for her. Instead, she pulled the chair out by herself and planted her bottom on it.
To be honest, the Queen’s admiration for Justin was only in her heart. She had been madly in love with him in the past, but due to her status and her duty as the Queen, there was no way she could abandon her people and elope with Justin. Of course, Justin had never returned her feelings, either.
Thus, she had suppressed her love for him at the bottom of her heart all these years. She was fine as long as Justin didn’t have a wife, but who knew that he would find himself one so soon? And on top of that, it was even Nora Smith, the person she detested the most?
But when it came down to it, there wasn’t any great feud or enmity between the Queen and Nora, though.
The two of them were husband and wife… So what made her think she had the right to be jealous of them?
The Queen took a vicious bite from her steak.
Mm, the steak was grilled just right. It melted in her mouth and was delicious.
Next to her, Lucy was delighted. She kept wanting to talk to Cherry, but the girl looked like she was close to tears as she looked at her father, mother, and two elder brothers seated opposite her.
