Why hadn’t she simply heeded his advice?!
If they lost the case, his bonus would be gone. And, he wouldn’t be the best lawyer in Cadiered after that!
Ignoring his persistent winks, she continued, “You don’t know him at all. Over the past two decades, despite your love for him, you never bothered to understand his true desires. You forced him to accept things you believed he needed, all in an attempt to assuage your own guilt.”
The Princess Royal was momentarily stunned. Lucinda’s scolding made her feel somewhat uncomfortable, prompting her to glare at her.
“I don’t know. I could have gotten to know him gradually, but because of you, I lost him forever!”
Lowering her gaze, Lucinda carried on, “However, I knew him well. As a child, I loved spending time with him, constantly trailing after him. He possessed an unwavering spirit, never swaying in his convictions.
He liked watermelons. He said that his life was bitter, so he sought solace in sweet foods.”
He detested foie gras and sausages. According to him, no matter how good the chef was, he could always detect their smell.
I was the woman he loved the most. His lifelong goal was to get married to me.
But I didn’t reciprocate his feelings or desire to be with him. On our wedding day, he finally chose to let me go. And now, what you’re doing is tearing down everything he held dear.”
The Princess Royal was stunned.
She locked eyes with Lucinda and tears streamed down her face.
She was aware of Kyson’s infatuation with Lucinda.

On their wedding day, he would take a bullet for Lucinda without thinking twice. For the first time, he glared at his mother and said, “If you kill her, I won’t live anymore!”
Even if she were to win the case and beat Lucinda, wouldn’t he despise her then?
This thought crossed the Princess Royal’s mind, and she contemplated canceling the lawsuit.
Seeing the guilt on the Princess Royal’s face, Lucinda’s lawyers breathed a sigh of relief. They believed it was a wise decision, perhaps leading them to victory and securing their bonus.
However, the Princess Royal was still caught in an inner struggle.
Before she could utter a word, her lawyer came to her and whispered something in her ear.
Her eyes widened in disbelief as she glanced at Lucinda with a deep hatred.
“Lucinda, you should be ashamed of yourself! You tried to make me drop the case by guilt-tripping me while also threatening me! Humph!
Nice try!”
She exclaimed between gritted teeth and banged the table.
Her lawyer promptly raised his hand and said, “Your Honor, the plaintiff is quite unstable. We request an adjournment.”
