The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

"Princess Annabeth?!" Declan's eyes widened, his gaze locked on the young woman in front of them, her face still bearing a hint of youthful innocence. His heart began to race, and he squeezed his eyes tightly in disbelief.

Annabeth bit her lip, stealing a glance at Declan before quickly looking away.

Declan had been the one who had wanted their relationship to return to how it was. Although, now that Annabeth had truly moved on, his heart ached; Annabeth did not even spare him a second glance. "Camilla, why did you bring the princess here?" Asher immediately stepped forward with concern laced in his voice.

"The princess is here to help us.”

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly gathered around.

Justin's breathing grew heavier. "Princess Annabeth, can you really help us?"

"I heard that Bella went missing, taken away by our country's wanted criminal, Christopher Iverson." Annabeth's eyes were slightly swollen, indicating that she had been crying recently. Her gentle voice trembled with emotion. "I was so worried... Yesterday, I went to beg my father to use the royal family's power to help you search for Bella throughout the nation."

Declan's heart clenched. "Anne..."

They were all grateful and relieved at her words.

They had only briefly interacted with Annabeth during Ryan and Carrie's wedding and did not have a close relationship with her. Yet this young girl was willing to lend a helping hand. Whether or not her efforts would succeed, her willingness to try was something they were deeply grateful for.

Annabeth sniffed as she stole another glance at Declan.

"My father agreed to help you search for Bella!"

Everyone in the room audibly gasped.

Moments ago, they were worrying about how to get more manpower to continue the search. Now, in the blink of an eye, the most challenging issue had been resolved, and they received permission to mobilize the military.

"But... My father has one condition." Annabeth hesitated, her voice trailing off.

Without a moment's hesitation, Justin responded. "Whatever the condition, even if it costs me my life, I will agree!"
