Chapter 1623:
Rebecca seemed to savor Elyse’s confusion, and after a pause that stretched like an eternity, she said, “Well,
let's call it a day. I'll have someone escort you out.”
Elyse didn’t resist and left quickly, with Chloe following closely behind. The two women remained silent in the
car, the tension lingering until they reached the hotel, where they both exhaled in relief.
Chloe collapsed into a chair, muttering, “Rebecca gives off such bad vibes. For a moment, | thought she was

It took a while for the tension to ebb away. She said, “She’s crazy. She says she has no friends and always
spends her talone. Who in their right mind would want to befriend someone so scheming and allow herself
to be manipulated by her?”
Chloe nodded, echoing the sentiment.
But soon, a heavy feeling settled in her chest. They were now in a country under Rebecca’s thumb, practically

Elyse eyed him warily. “But | didn’t order room service.”
The man’s smile never wavered. “I'm Esteban, sent by a gentleman named Jayden Owen to assist you.” He

“Prince without a throne, overlooked by my family, with few people to turn to. That's why I'm here in person.”
The word “prince” left Elyse momentarily speechless. It took her a moment to regain her composure before she
asked, “Is Rebecca Dyson your sister?”
Esteban smiled, his eyes twinkling with a mixture of pride and ruefulness. “Yes, she’s my half-sister from the
sfather. But I'm not the youngest in the family. The youngest, the favored princess and prince, would never
lower themselves to visit you. Only someone like me, someone who isn’t favored, would go to such lengths.”
