Before Isla could delve deeper into her thoughts, her father, Carl, strode over and grasped her arm.

At the same time, he turned to Lorne and forced a smile onto his face. “General, I’ve got some family matters to attend to Til head back now.”

Lorne nodded slightly: “Okay, please take this to your father. He casually flicked a military–issue envelope toward Carl which landed at his feet.

Carl felt a sudden sense of foreboding as he looked at the envelope. He slowly bent down to pick it up. After a brief nod to Lome, Carl led Isla out of the party hall.

Raven watched Isla’s retreating figure and reached for her phone, about to order someone to eliminate Isla once and for all. But before she could send the message, Lorne’s hand rested on her arm.

In a voice only he and Raven could hear, Lorne said, “The former heir of the Thornton family, Rainer Thornton, was a grand general, already nearing retirement age. Under normal circumstances, as long as he didn’t commit treason, I wouldn’t have touched him.

“But the Thornton family crossed you, and now I’ve used his previous instances of abusing his position for personal gain to have him expelled from the military. Without him, the Thornton family won’t last much longer.”

Lorne smiled. “Okay”

Raven, worried that the Regalhold bigwigs might say something shocking, said her goodbyes to the crowd and left the party hall with Cassian.

“Darling?” After they exited the hotel, Raven reached for Cassian’s hand. He tried to dodge, but she managed to grab it. He tugged at it, but she held firm.

He stopped in his tracks, his lips pressed together, and looked at Raven with cool eyes. “Let go of me.”

Raven tilted her head slightly, smiling faintly. “Are you jealous?”

Cassian gave her a dismissive glance. “Jealous? Who would I be jealous of? Who could possibly make me jealous?”

Raven smiled warmly and explained, “I’ve never even met those so–called campus heartthrobs, big stars, cute types, or cool types. And I already have you. I wouldn’t even glance at any other man.”

However, as soon as she finished speaking, the air around the you’ve already memorized every type he said.

Raven thought to herself, I just have a good memory. What can I do?

Cassian seemed to catch her thought and let ours barely perceptible cold son. You sound so convincing, yet you still surve

Cassian was momentarily at a loss for words. Let go of me. I need to head back?
