Chapter 98
Lola noticed that Dominick suddenly tensed up again after a moment of relief.
“What happened? What kind of flower is this? Why…did it suddenly disappear?”
Dominick felt Lola was a bit scared. He tightened his arm slightly, pulling her closer to his chest.
“Don’t be afraid.”
A
Feeling his strength and the warmth of his chest, Lola looked up at the man in bewilderment, inadvertently falling into his deep eyes.
“You…”
Lola felt a bit flustered, an unfamiliar feeling rising in her heart. She couldn’t suppress it at all.
“Prince Emil, come in and explain!”
Just as Lola was about to push Dominick away, Ethan’s voice suddenly came from outside.
The next moment, sounds of a scuffle came from outside, only quieting down after more than ten seconds.
Lola completely
didn’t understand what these two men were doing, and she slowly withdrew from Dominick’s embrace.
“What happened exactly? Can you tell me?” Lola felt both anxious and uneasy.
Dominick’s eyes showed a hint of disappointment, but he quickly concealed it.
“I brought him here. He can fight, but he’s not as good as I am.” Ethan raised his head somewhat proudly, pressing Emil’s arm as he brought
him in.
Emil was brought in by Ethan with a face full of resentment.
“Let go of me! Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this? Are you insane?”
Dominick kicked away the white powder on the ground, his voice as cold as if he was a demon from hell.
“I’ll let you go if
f you eat the powder on the ground.”
Emil’s eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly concealed his emotions.

your country?”
“Are you insane? 7 Why should I eat something off the ground? Is this how you treat
Emil’s temper was unusually fiery, completely different from his demeanor during the day
“Ethan, right? Let go of me! Otherwise, when I return to my country, I won’t let you off!”
Ethan snorted, “Do you think I’m scared of you? You have ill intentions towards my sister, and I won’t spare you! Do you think you can still return to your country?”
Lola widened her eyes, realizing for the first time the hostility of this prince from the neighboring country. Why would he want to harm her?
“What nonsense is this? When did I have ill intentions towards your sister? I don’t even know her! I just came out for a walk because I couldn’t sleep at night! I came out for a stroll, and got caught by you. Aren’t you embarrassed for misunderstanding the situation?”
Emil struggled with his sore arm, his gaze shifting towards Dominick.
The first time Emil met Dominick, Emil already felt that he was an extraordinary man. He couldn’t help stealing another glance before quickly looking away.
Dominick pressed his lips into a thin line before squatting down to look at Emil coldly.
“We saw you scatter these petals. Do you have any explanation for that?”
Emil pressed his lips, avoiding Dominick’s gaze.
“I did scatter the petals, so what? Can’t scatter them? In our country, scattering white petals at night signifies that we’re missing someone. I Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
was missing my family. What’s the problem?”
Seeing Emil’s confident explanation, Dominick’s eyes narrowed slightly and he became even colder toward the man.
“There’s no problem with that, but the problem lies with these petals. They’re highly toxic.
“Am I right?”
In the dim light, Dominick’s narrow eyes exuded a hint of coldness mixed with fierce determination.
Emil’s eyes suddenly widened, his voice still loud but lacking confidence.
“What’s wrong with these petals?”
Ethan couldn’t help but curse, “Do you think we’re blind? The petals came in without wind, and as soon as they touched the ground, they turned into powder. Are these petals not a problem?”
“I don’t know, maybe the petals were too dry, so they turned into powder. It’s hard to say. What’s the use of asking me? I don’t know!”
Emil persisted, but his explanation sounded flimsy and evasive.
“Since the petals were just too dry, it should be fine to rub them on your face, right?”
Dominick stood up, giving Ethan a glance.
Ethan understood and forcefully pressed Emil to the ground. “Don’t mind us! Have some fun with these petals which you used to indicate your feelings for your family!”
guys out of your minds? I’m warning you, if you keep this up, I’ll tell everyone what you’ve done!”
“Let go of me! Are you guys
Emil’s emotions were somewhat agitated, but he still maintained a princely demeanor as he accused them,
Ethan glanced at Dominick, who gave him a look, so his grip tightened even more.
Emil watched helplessly as the white powder on
n the ground was about to touch his face.
He couldn’t continue to pretend to be calm anymore.
“Let go of mel Let go! This powder can kill!”
Dominick was waiting for this moment.
“Let him go.”
Ethan released Emil with a swift motion, letting him fall to the ground. With a kick, he slammed the door shut..
“Finally admitting 17

“Since you intend to hurt my sister, you can’t blame me for being ruthless to your
Emil wriggled his sore arm pressed by Ethan. “How would I know the wind would blow it here? You have no evidence, and yet you dare to
accuse me?”
Lola finally understood that Emil intended to use the poisonous petals to kill her.
She was only going to sleep, yet she almost died!
“Prince Emil, there’s no bad blood between us. Why do you want to harm me?
Under the moonlight, Emil’s light green eyes were beautiful yet dangerous.
“Don’t think too highly of yoursell What reason do I have to harm you? You’re not even worthy of it!”
Dominick snorted. Upon hearing hurried footsteps outside, he knew it was time.
“Someone’s here, let him explain to you.”
“Layla! Layla!”
Scott’s anxious voice came from outside, followed by him bursting in through the door.
Scott visibly relaxed when he saw Lola was unharmed. “Thank goodness you’re fine.”
He only
noticed Emil beside Lola after seeing she
was fine.
Scott’s expression was quite unnatural, deliberately avoiding Emil’s gaze.
“What’s going
gon with you guys? Why did you call me here?”
Dominick observed Scott’s expression. “If we didn’t put it that way, would you have come?”
Dominick deliberately had Ethan’s men call Scott, and deliberately had them tell him that Emil had poisoned Lola with a toxic flower, so they had a very urgent situation.
Scott rushed over in a panic, but he never expected to find Dominick, Ethan, and everyone else there!
Emil watched Scott worry about Lola and suddenly
