Chapter 1043: The Struggle for the Prince Consort, Undercurrents Surge_1

Victoria's mom is simply the model mother of the entire world, isn't she?

She has never raised her voice against Michael, let alone anyone else.

She's kind and amiable to everyone in this world... except, of course, for enemies.

Despite being a Queen, she's never behaved with the airs of Mrs. Shaw.

Michael thought, if Mrs. Shaw knew who she was or met mom, would she still act so arrogantly, as if she were above everyone else?

Dinner ended in an atmosphere that was oppressive and indescribably tense.

Everyone moved to the Living Room to rest. As other guests began to say their farewells, Evelyn Cloudley called Michael aside.

"Mr. Fortunate, could you stay a little longer?" she implored Michael.

Michael's thoughts were all on John Coleman now...

Wondering how he was doing alone at home.

She smiled at Evelyn Cloudley, "I can't, my brother is waiting at home by himself; I need to go back."

"Can't your brother take care of himself?" Evelyn Cloudley muttered dissatisfiedly.
