Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap novel Chapter 975

Amanda was a bit out of focus. She said huh when she heard his voice.

The fact that she was distracted made Joan feel even more certain that the man he just saw was her ex-husband.

‘Since she’s so disturbed, does it mean she still cares about him?’

Amanda calmed down and her lips curled into a faint smile, “What did you just say?”

Joan said, “Nothing.”

“Okay.” Amanda did not pay much attention. Her mind was still disturbed due to George’s appearance.

She was not fantasizing about Stanford but did not want her life to be disturbed again. George had found her here so she was afraid that he would disturb her parents.

She pressed her brow and took a deep breath.

The originally good atmosphere was disrupted by George’s sudden appearance. The two of them did not utter a word along the way.

The unique scenery of Thailand could be seen outside the car window. But, no one appreciated it.

After a while, the car stopped in front of an extremely luxurious palace.

The palace was resplendent and glorious with the continuation of the Buddhist kind of architecture. Its style and Joan’s mansion had a similarity. Both were deeply historical.

The car stopped. The driver came down to open the door for Joan.

Joan bent his body and walked over to another side to open the door for Amanda.

She looked up at Joan, “What is this place?”

“The Grand Palace”.

The Grand Palace was a place where the royal family lived.

The banquet today was nominally the birthday party held by the King of Thailand for his beloved daughter. But in fact, it was meant to find a suitable husband for the princess.

Among the men invited today, one-third of them were valued by the king and potentially to be chosen as his son-in-law.

Among them, the King was most interested in Joan Morton and Otto Prescott. These were the most popular aristocrats and most importantly, they controlled military power.

The King of Thailand was the Head of State, the supreme commander of three armed forces and the patron of Buddhism and all religions. The King exercised legislative, executive and judicial powers through the Parliament, the Cabinet and the Courts respectively.

The members of the House of Senate of the Parliament were appointed directly by the King. Although the Prime Minister of Thailand was democratically elected by the people, it had to be signed by the King. Whenever the Prime Minister saw the King or the royal family, he had to kneel.

From a practical point of view, military power was the actual supreme power of a country. The King had the supreme military power from a constitutional point of view. But in reality, the military power was mainly in the hands of the top brass of the military forces.

The previous old King controlled the military by his seniority and prestige but even so, Thailand had had many military coups.

Now, the King was also trying to control the top brass who held military power. The best way was to turn these people into his family.

“Joan.” Payne was in a red dress. She also looked charming and attractive after getting dolled up. She walked over quickly with a smile on her face. When she saw the person who was about to go out of the car was Amanda, her smile slowly froze, “Why do you bring her here?”

It was a questioning tone.

Joan did not bother her and reached out his hand to Amanda.

Amanda put her hand into Joan’s palm.

They looked at each other. Joan held her hand and helped her out.

At this moment, Payne’s eyes widened so much that her eyes nearly popped out. She said wilfully, “Joan, do you believe I’ll commit suicide in front of you?”

Joan said coldly, “It’s your freedom to die or live.”

“You…” Payne stomped her foot in anger.

“Payne!” A scolding voice sounded behind her.

Otto walked over and pulled his younger sister, “How can you be wilful like this?”
