At Derhan Palace, Country B
Lucas was already aware of the situation, yet he still insisted that Edward join them for dinner. Leila could not do anything but warn Edward that her brother Lucas already knew the truth. She thought Edward would give an alibi for him to skip the dinner but she was surprised to see Edward joining the table.
"What's going on?" Leila whispered to Sean, who was sitting beside her. She was sure Sean knew why Edward ended up arriving.
"He left Edward no choice but to show himself here…" Sean whispered back and quickly sealed his mouth as soon as Edward took his seat beside Leila.
