Chapter 376 They Overheard Everything

The three ladies stood at his front and waited for his revelation.

"I don't know whether Tiffany will be happy about this. She might get mad at me again that I revealed…,"

"If she gets upset we will speak up for you so now tell us what went wrong?" Doris assured as she hit her chest.

"We were invited to the palace two days ago…,"

"If you went to the palace shouldn't she be thrilled she got to meet Her Highness to discuss her marriage to the King?" Nora asked, confusion written all over her face.

She recalled that Tiffany was always in a good mood anytime she returned from the palace.

So she couldn't help but wonder what happened over there to make Tiffany behave the way she did.

"Only for us to find out it wasn't an invitation but we were being held hostages in the palace by the Queen Mother," Logan continued.

He clenched his fists when the memory of that day popped into his head.

[I should have known long ago that Her Highness was nothing but a two-faced bitch]

"The Queen Mother would never do anything to upset Tiff. She adores her a lot…,"

"That is exactly what your best friend believed. She is in that state after finding out that everything was a lie. Even the Queen Mother's affection was fake," Logan shouted.

There was a minute of silence after Logan's outburst of emotions.

"You said the Queen Mother's love for Tiff is fake but we don't understand why you said that," Nora expressed.

Her friends nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, so do you mind expatriating?" Sophie asked with hopeful eyes.

"Ok, I will tell you what happened in detail since you want to know," Logan agreed. He walked two steps away. He turned and gaze at the ladies' curious faces afterwards.

He narrated all that happened after Mr Martinez's arrival.

…

Back at the palace that night, Tiffany was eager to find out whether Her Highness will plead with her Grandpa on her behalf as she asked.

To be able to leave the room she knew she must get rid of Tracy's watchful eyes.

Tiffany sneaked a peep at where Tracy stood. When she saw that the lady's gaze was focused on them like she had expected she reached out her hand and carried the glass of blood in front of her.

She brought the glass to her mouth and took a sip. She let the wine glass slip from her hand at the perfect time.

"Damn!" Tiffany cursed and jumped to her feet.

As she expected Tracy raced to where she stood.

"Are you alright?" Tracy asked and examined her stained dress.

"My dress is in this state, do you think I am alright after this?" Tiffany snapped. She shoved Tracy's hand away from her body.

Tracy looked at the proud lady in front of her with her fists clasped.

[She sure believes she is the apple of the Queen Mother's eyes not knowing that she is a pawn in Her Highness's master plan...]

"What are you looking at?" Tiffany sneered when she caught Tracy looking at her with a repulsive expression.

Tracy lowered her gaze. Even though she disliked Tiffany she had to lower her head and behave herself always since their statuses are different.

She is the granddaughter of the Prime Minister and the daughter of the richest man in the Kingdom.

She dares not offend her. In fact, she can't afford to offend her.

"I will go get you a change of outfit," Tracy informed.

"You better do or else you will forever regret this day if Her Highness sees me this way," Tiffany threatened.

She watched until Tracy left the room.

"Was there any need to do that?" Logan asked.

"You don't tell me what to do," She retorted and stomped out of the room, pretending to be angry.

"She was alright a while ago so why is she so sensitive now?" Logan mumbled.

He stood up and followed Tiffany without caring about the maids and guards in the room.

Despite that Tiffany was gone Logan didn't have a problem finding her in the vast palace.

Her scent led him to where she stood, eavesdropping on the conversation happening in a hall far away.

"Don't you know…," Tiffany ran and covered Logan's mouth with her hand.

She gave him a warning glare and released his mouth when she discovered he understood her point.

As Tiffany stood there she didn't know that what she will hear next will ruin her belief and whatever relationship she thought she had with the Queen Mother.

"Your grandchildren are well taken care of. They are ready to go with you but before that, we have some things to discuss. I am sure you must have gotten my invitation right?" Queen Mother Theresa quizzed.

She was straightforward with what she wanted.

She didn't go through these hassles to beat around the bush with him.

"Is that why Her Highness kidnapped my grandchildren just to get me into the palace….,"

"If you had done like I said I wouldn't have resorted to this. You left me with no other option, Prime Minister. If anyone should be blamed for my decision it's none other than you," Queen Mother Theresa said without any remorse.

"And what if I don't agree…,"

"That means your grandson isn't as important as you wanted everyone to believe," Queen Mother interrupted sternly.

Realising that the Queen Mother was aware of his weakness Mr Martinez clenched his fists and kept quiet.

"Because you are the Prime Minister, I can't lock you up in the palace without any valid reason but that is not the case with your grandchildren. I can keep them here for as long as I want and no one will question me," She said with pride.

The adults were too engrossed in their argument to know that two young fellows were listening to their conversation.

Tiffany's legs lost strength at that minute and she staggered backwards. Had Logan not lent her a hand she would have fallen to the floor.
