Chapter 282

Darren took a deep breath and began to talk about what happened eighteen years

ago.

Back then, Leanna was still a girl in her twenties. She was confident, positive, straightforward, and good–looking.

After Darren and Leanna met, they fell in love with each other and soon enjoyed an intimate relationship. Darren’s father was also very satisfied with Leanna. Darren and Leanna had thought that they could live happily ever happily.

However, upon receiving the news of her pregnancy, they learned that her parents were seriously ill and she needed to return home to care for them.

At the time of their hasty marriage, he hadn’t gone to visit Leanna’s parents. So he went back with her, only to discover her true background. She was actually a princess of Zosteylor, which came as quite a shock to Darren.

Ulrich Stark, Leanna and Kamila’s father, was seriously ill, and their mother cried every day. Ulrich intended to pass the country’s affairs to Leanna, but at that time, Leanna did not agree. Instead, she felt that her sister, Kamila, who was full of ambition and aspiration, was more suitable. And the country would surely prosper under Kamila’s leadership.

It was Ulrich who said that Kamila was very ambitious but quite petty, unable to tolerate others, and not suitable to be a leader.

Somehow, these words reached Kamila’s ears. She fed Ulrich slow–acting poison and accelerated his death, then poisoned Leanna as well. Therefore, the Queen’s Palace was not safe to stay in for long.

Staying there too long would be life–threatening.
