Billionaire's One Night Stand

Chapter 1369

Ch. 1,369 / 1,423 Mar 04, 2026

"What do you want to say, Alex?" The Mitchell said, "Do you want to say that we may have to change our positions and support the other successor just like what the other guests did?"

"If anything happens to Princess Sara, we have to do so if we want to preserve the prosperity of the family." Al said, "Of course, I hope that she's fine."

"I hope that the real Sara is fine..." He prayed silently in his heart.

As for what this Princess Sara would do, he did not care.

But he had to care about Madam's safety because if something happened to her, it wouldn't be a joke at all!

-Aman might not take into account his friend's face and deal with the entire Pochi Fuss Family together. That wife-sicky maniac would do such a thing!

"As for the other side of Simon," Al took a look at the Mitchell and said, "Father, leave him alone for the time being. We are here to assist His Majesty to publish the news of Prince Charlie's assassination on the news tomorrow. We also need to find out information about Young Madam and the others as soon as possible."

"Boo, what do you mean?" The Mitchell was enraged. "He is your younger brother, but now..."

"It's just that His Majesty has grounded him in the palace," Alex said. "Moreover, it'll be easy to solve the case with Simon, my step- mother, if it's just a case that can be solved with his grounding."

"You don't want to take this opportunity to get rid of Simon, do you? I'm telling you, as long as I'm here..."

Hearing the furious words of the Mitchell, Rowan lowered his head. "I'll go out and find out what's going on with His Majesty."

Elsa glanced at Lara's retreating figure from the corner of his eyes.

He now had a clear relationship with the three Simon siblings-they were confronting each other in a tit-for-tat battle!

"False, we don't want to deal with Simon for the time being. How about Aman?" the

Mitchell asked anxiously.

"I found out that Madam was missing. Aman and the rest have already left the palace,".

"What?" The Mitchell stood up in shock. "Didn't Frank say all the distinguished guests are staying in the palace tonight?"

"That's Aman." "If he were to leave, would anyone really dare to stop him? For example, if Mrs. Emperor does not wish to go with the police tonight, those people would not dare to forcefully take Young Madam away."

"Then what's going on now?" The countess immediately became dissatisfied. "Even we aren't allowed to leave the palace right now. Aman can do it? Then does this mean that all the nobles of Ruidan can't compare to Aman?"

"Be quiet." The Mitchell turned back to persuade her. "Now that Prince Charlie is in trouble, the murderer may still be in the palace. The only reason His Majesty leaves us in the palace for three days is to make it easier to find the murderer."

"That doesn't count Aman, does it?" The Mitchell could not accept treatment from these nobles as compared to foreign guests.

Because no matter what kind of rich man Aman was or what kind of business officials he was, he was still just a guest of Ruidan!

How could he have more privileges than the nobles who had worked hard for the palace?

"That's because His Majesty knew that it couldn't have been Aman!" The Mitchell once again stopped his wife from saying any more nonsense. "Aman's wife is also with Princess Sara. If he wants to get someone to blow up those cars, wouldn't he have the risk of slaying his own wife? Don't say these things outside, because it means that we don't believe His Majesty's decision!"

"Hmph." The countess crossed her arms and said in disapproval, "Who says it can't be him? Based on what the princess said, it could be that Aman and Young Madam had worked together to kill Prince Charlie and blew up Officer Anderson's car. They wanted to take the opportunity to take Young Madam away because they were afraid that Young Madam would be examined."

"What about Princess Sara?" Alex asked. "If your step-mother is the same as Simon, then can you tell us why Aman took Princess Sara away if they did it?"

The Mitchell thought for a moment and said, "Now that Prince Charlie is dead, the throne can only be inherited by Princess Sara. Perhaps both of them don't agree to let Princess Sara take the throne!"

"However, whether Princess Sara can sit on the throne or not, does it have anything to do with Aman and the rest?" "Will she care about who will sit on the throne? Only the people of this country, as well as the nobility and the other royal families, will directly affect the prosperity and interests of their families. Aman, in order to stop someone who has nothing to do with him from sitting on the throne, will risk causing Officer Anderson's car to explode, regardless of the safety of Mrs. Emperor who is also in the car?"

The Mitchell stood on the other side with a cold face and said nothing. After a while, she said, "Who knows if they have other purposes..."

"Well, Don't argue with your stepmother," the Mitchell said. "Now that Simon is grounded in the palace by His Majesty, she must be in a bad mood. You should understand."

"Yes, father." "I just want to say that it's impossible for anyone to have anything to do with Aman."

Of course, He would definitely not tell his father about the plan between him and Aman.

Right now, the people who had kidnapped Madam and the princess were either Lara's men or not...

Therefore, when Lara went out just now, Alex glanced at her with great suspicion.

"I know it can't be Aman," the Mitchell said. "But isn't it said that the murderer who assassinated Prince Charlie's Highness is in the Imperial Palace? Why did Aman leave the Imperial Palace at this time? Shouldn't he stay in the Imperial Palace to investigate? Could there be some clues to his sudden departure from the Imperial Palace?"

"This..." Teal thought for a moment. "I don't think I have it for the time being."

"Then what about him..."

"When Aman left the palace at this time, he probably only got angry," said Hank. "After all, young lady went missing in the palace. This means that he feels anger towards the palace. It was also because of Frank and His Majesty pressuring him. We must definitely find young lady. Otherwise, he might not maintain a friendly relationship with Ruidan in the future."

When the Mitchell heard the eldest son's words, she frowned.

He walked to the side, pressed his hands on the table, and sat down with a worried face. "It's possible. If something happened to Young Madam, then the products of the Emperor Group may not be sold to Ruidan anymore. Moreover, he is the president of the 'Chamber of Commerce'. The 'Chamber of Commerce' has more than 60 top companies in the world. If those enterprises cut off all business dealings with Ruidan... the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Father, don't worry about so many people," said Alex said. "There are too many things happening in the palace tonight. You guys should go and rest first."

"Why aren't I worried?" The Mitchell suddenly asked. "Do you remember the last time I asked Aman about the Nangong clan's fate? I just wanted to take the opportunity to probe into Aman's words and see if he would make a move on Pochi Fusi for some other reason in the future..."

"Then I'll give you an answer," said Alex, "If Young Madam were to find her safely, then nothing would happen to the family, no matter who would inherit the throne. But if something happens to Young Madam, then I won't be able to stop Aman. Perhaps he might really blame the family for this!"

"Then what should we do now?" The Mitchell asked. "If Young Madam..."

"Think about it in the right direction," said Alex, "there's no need for us to drive ourselves crazy now."

Mitchell sighed, "How could this be? On the same night, the prince was assassinated, the princess and young lady were missing one after another..."

Hearing the conversation between the father and son, the Mitchell became more and more impatient. They should be worried about the whereabouts of Princess Sara, and they should be more worried about the safety of Princess Sara...

Why was it now that Mrs. Emperor was affecting the survival of their family?

After Lara came out, her female guard, Maria, was waiting outside.

This dark beauty, Maria, also worked as her bodyguard, bodyguard, and personal assistant!

"He's a clever man who has both skill and quick-witted!"

"Just now, did any outsiders draw near?" Lara came out and asked.

"No." Maria stood perfectly straight, his hands behind his back.

"In the future, when I am chatting with my family or someone else, you must keep a close eye on us outside." Lara slowly smiled. "Right now, we are in an extremely critical moment of nervousness. Perhaps even a few secrets will be heard by others. Although I rarely care about my family's affairs, I still hope that the Pochi Fuss clan will be in peace."

"Yes, Miss Lara."

"Maria." Lara glanced at this personal female guard, then for some reason, asked, "I've never asked about your family. Aside from that older brother of yours, are there any other family members?"

Maria nodded. "No, there's no more. I only have that big brother, Keel."

"That's a pity!" Lara said, "You can't understand what I'm feeling right now. That's to say, although you normally don't take care of your family's matters, there are times when you hope to have a home behind you and give you a safe place."

"But Mr. Alex's stance is different from Miss Lara's. Mitchell trusts Mr. Alex more."

Maria said, "Since there's someone in the family of Boorphs who doesn't know Miss Lara, does Miss Lara still think that the family of Boorphs can give you a sense of security? Is that why she wishes for the family of Po Prius to not have an accident?"

"Things were different in the past. In the past, although Brother Simon didn't get along well with each other, they still pretended to be brothers," Lara said, and then changed the subject. "Now that we are all out of the picture, and I'm officially on the side of Simon, it's natural for him to feel the same. Therefore, to me, the Poswoth family is indeed not as safe as before."

Maria didn't speak, quietly listening to her.

"Thus, it is even more important for you to be on my side." Lara said.

"Yes, I swear I'll protect Miss Lara to the death!" Maria made a curtsy.

"But right now, I have another question." Lara clenched his fists tightly.

"What?" Maria raised his head to look at her.

"Why do I feel that there has been no news of the four people sent by the Southern Palace since I entered the Imperial Palace?" Lara's eyes were sharp. "Maria, have you noticed where they went?"

Chaptrer 1370

"No, I didn't see it." Maria said. "I'll definitely accompany you, Miss Lara. At the National Banquet, I'll go in with you, Miss Lara."

"Then where are they now?" Lara said. "Could it be that they are behind Prince Charlie..."

"Miss Lara, are you suspecting me?"

"Let's talk outside."

After all, it was a hospital. Although it was in the Imperial Palace, there were too many VIPs in the Imperial Palace Hospital who came to mourn for Prince Charlie!

After coming out of Imperial Hospital, the night was getting darker, and it was over 10 o'clock at night.

There was a driveway in the Imperial Palace, and there were fancy roads as well.

Lara didn't get on the car and walked towards the path of flowers. Perhaps it was because of the silence.

"Miss Lara was just trying to say that she suspected that the four people sent by Mr. Nangong had assassinated Prince Charlie?" As soon as he came out, Maria asked, "Are they also the ones who kidnapped Princess Sara and Young Madam?"

Just as he was taking out his phone, Lara's footsteps came to a halt.

Seeing her stop, Maria also stopped, as if he had realized something. "Sorry, I've asked a lot."

"Maria, in the past, you didn't speak much." Lara said. "Today, you took the initiative to ask me a question?"

"I'm worried that Miss Ruidan's worries are too heavy. I want to tell you what Miss Lara is feeling and make you feel a bit better."

Maria said.

Lara frowned slightly as he looked at her.

It was necessary to pay more attention to the abnormal behavior of the people around him, especially nobles like them.

Perhaps if he wasn't careful, he would be placed in a spy room by the enemy...

But looking at Maria, it was hard to doubt it. This was because there were very few people who knew that Nangong Yen had a bodyguard named Kale. Furthermore, three years ago, she had also called William and asked him about it. At that time, William said that he had asked Kale, and indeed, Kale had a younger sister called Tina...

Kale and Nangong Yen were both arrested by the Interpol, and there was no news of Kale at the moment. Perhaps he was already dead.

From the perspective of Maria, Aman and the others should be enemies!

"If Miss Lara isn't happy, then I'd best not ask!" Arle said.

"But I can answer your question." After the doubt in his heart disappeared, Lara walked forward and said, "To be honest, I'm not absolutely sure if the person who assassinated Prince Charlie is really from the Southern Palace. But the person who kidnapped Princess Sara and Madam must not be from the Southern Palace."

Seeming to feel that Lara didn't like to ask her any questions, Maria didn't say anything.

"If we wanted to assassinate Prince Charlie, we wanted his sister to take back the throne. If those cars were blown up, his sister and young lady would be in danger of dying in the car." Lara said, "Nangong wouldn't do that."

Although it was said that the bomb's power was not very great, it was still very risky. Perhaps, people in the car would be seriously injured if they were not careful!

No matter how much Nangong Yen loved Chloe, would he hate her or continue to like her?

But if Nangong Yen wanted to rely on his sister to take the throne of Ruidan and control Ruidan, he should not let his sister die!

In the end, Lara said, "Perhaps, the assassination of Prince Charlie, the assassination of Young Madam, and Princess Sara, are two groups of people!"

Maria thought for a while, but he stopped his curiosity and didn't ask any more questions.

"Maria, do you think what I said is correct?" Lara asked her.

"Yes, Miss Lara." He replied.

"As for the truth, it's better to hear what he himself says," Lara said as he dialed Nangong Yen's number.

The call went on for a while before he picked it up.

"Rodan, huh." Nangong Yen's voice came from the other side of the phone. It was neither fast nor slow, and it could even be said that he seemed to be leisurely tasting the wine at this time. "Let me guess. Now the Imperial Palace must be in chaos."

Lara's red lips also slowly curled into a smile. "In the past, when I called you, it was your housekeeper who answered the call. Now that you've answered my call yourself, I can see that I'm more valued by you?"

"Lara, you don't have to be so self- deprecating." Nangong Yen said on the phone, "You've always been important."

"If only you could always say something like this to me." Lara let out a soft sigh. Unfortunately, this time, she had helped him, which was why he had treated her so seriously.

That was because Nangong Yen always knew what she was thinking, but never accepted it.

Even if they met in the Ruidan Hotel and she asked him about it, he would still avoid it.

"So what's the current situation in the Imperial Palace?" Nangong Yen asked.

As expected, it was better to avoid her question.

"That's right!" Lara laughed beautifully. "The imperial palace is in chaos. The prince who has just become the successor to the throne has just been assassinated and died. The nobles are at a loss as to what to do. The other nobles are afraid that the culprits are still hiding in the imperial palace, but they are also in a state of panic."

Nangong Yen laughed twice.

"So, can the Southern Palace tell me where are the four people you sent into the Imperial Palace with me?" Lara asked, "They were the ones who assassinated Prince Charlie?"

"Besides my people, is there anyone else who dares to kill the prince of Ruidan?" Nangong Yen asked.

This was the most direct answer! Lara smiled again. "I really don't have any, but I just want to confirm it with you."

"There's no other way. I heard that Ruidan supports a large number of people who succeed to the throne. If that prince doesn't die, there's a slight chance of him taking the throne." Nangong Yen said, "If that prince doesn't die, he'll block the chance for me to take over Ruidan King's power."

Lara wouldn't argue about whether it was his brother, Simon, or Nangong Yen who fought for the power of Ruidan. She had no interest. She only wanted to win Nangong Yen's love!

For this, she would do her best to help Nangong Yen in order to win his favor!

"So what about the four of you?" Lara asked, "Tonight, the Imperial Palace will thoroughly investigate all the distinguished guests attending Princess Sara's engagement banquet, including foreign guests and our attendants to find suspicious people. If the four of you are still in the Imperial Palace, it will be dangerous!"

Whether or not he was a bodyguard of the Nangong clan, they could check with the Mitchell!

"You don't have to worry about that. They will try to find a way out of the palace themselves," Nangong Yen said.

"I'm relieved to hear you say this." Lara said, "However, even if Prince Charlie is dead now, your wish may still not be fulfilled."

Nangong Yen did not speak and waited for her to add.

"Because if Miss Sara can't return safely, she won't be able to take over the throne either."

"What's wrong?" Nangong Yen said, "What happened over there?"

"When tonight's engagement banquet and voting came to an end, I didn't have time to tell her that you showed up with Ruidan, and Prince Charlie died." Lara said, "Then the police were called by Her Majesty into the Imperial Palace and ordered the investigation of the people who tried to assassinate the prince. The most suspected person was Princess, who was Prince Charlie's side, and Princess Sara, who was also fighting for the throne. Both of them followed the police to investigate.

But the police had not yet driven out of the gate of the palace, and something had happened. The princess, Sara, was missing."

.." There was silence on the phone for a while. "Where is Charlie?"

Lara's heart skipped a beat. He was still asking Chloe. He should've been worried about his sister.

"Of course they went missing together. Aman was very angry tonight! But he has his husband to worry about," Lara said, specially reminding Nangong Yen and Chloe that they all had husband.

"But Miss Sara, few people support her in the imperial palace except for the queen. You should care more about her in the Southern Palace."

"Isn't she also have a fiance, won't she?" Nangong Yen said, "My sister didn't listen to me before. She went to Country and caused a lot of trouble. Sometimes she should solve her own problems by herself."

"No, Simon was grounded in the palace by the queen." Lara explained, "Even if he was the fiance of the princess, I heard that he couldn't leave the palace now, because the police are investigating him."

"Oh, I forgot about it." Nangong Yen smiled. "Really? He was grounded by the Queen. It seems that the Queen also suspected his future son-in-law."

"No, Queen still wants to protect him." Lara said, "The police originally came to the palace to arrest Simon. However, when Prince Charlie was assassinated, they investigated the assassination of the prince first. In order to protect Simon, they grounded him in the palace. After all, he's in the palace. No one dares to defy Queen to arrest him."

"Really? Then it's time to congratulate him." Nangong Yen said, "He escaped another tribulation."

Lara didn't know if Nangong Yen would save Simon or not.

They seemed to be the followers of the Black Dragon Member, but according to Nangong Yen's tone, he seemed to have a bad relationship with Simon!

But at the moment, the situation was too complicated!

Lara could only ask the most important question first!

"Then I'll listen to Nangong words. You're not the one who kidnapped Princess Sara and Madam, aren't you?" Lara said.

"How could it be me?" Nangong Yen's voice became gloomy and he seemed to be angry with this unexpected thing. "If I were him, I wouldn't take them away in this way. Now that Prince Charlie just died, it's a good chance to win power. What's the benefit of taking her away?"

"True!" Lara said. "I knew it wasn't you!"

"Someone must be familiar with Ruidan Imperial Palace, since he kidnapped people in Ruidan Imperial Palace." Nangong Yen warned, "It seems that it must be Simon who did it. Lara, go find him and warn him not to do anything stupid!"

"Don't mess around?" Lara clenched his hands tightly, feeling jealous. "Ask him not to do anything to Young Madam?"

"..." Nangong Yen was silent for a while. "Including asking him to put Sara back. In order to sit firmly on the throne at that time, Sara must try to win the people's support when Prince Charlie is just dying."

"Is that so?" Lara laughed. "Everyone is guessing that the person who assassinated the prince is in cahoots with the person who kidnapped Princess. Perhaps they didn't expect that, that's not true!"

"Lara, you'd better not leave the Imperial Palace now," Nangong Yen added.

"Why?" Lara said. "I really miss you. I want to meet you at all times."
