Chapter 1371
Tristan knew Priscilla well. Although he had not seen her many times, he had studied this woman and even paid attention to her. At this time, he was just an assistant in the eyes of outsiders, but he did not expect that Priscila would come and greet him.
Things were getting more interesting now!
"Your Highness, are you greeting the wrong person? Sir Tristan is sitting over there."
Tristan nudged the substitute not far away with his chin as he said this, and his lips rose slightly into a smile. He looked like a gentleman, but there was a trace of evil in his gaze, so Priscilla was stunned. Then she smiled and said, "Well, I'm trying to make a toast with you. What's wrong? Are you not brave enough to do so?"
As Priscilla said these words, she could feel Laborn's sharp gaze boring into her as he was ready to rip her into pieces. Well, what could he do?
The fact that he was her father didn't matter at all.
Did she have to agree to whoever he wanted her to marry?
What a joke!
She had managed to survive for this long not because of Laborn.
Since he wanted her to have a relationship with the heir of the Acker family, he wouldn't do as he wished.
Instead, she would flirt around with Tristan's assistant, an orphan with a pitiful background. Well, what could Laborn do to her?
On the other hand, Tristan had to admit that no one could control Priscilla as she was a rebel. However, the corners of his lips raised slightly into a smile when he saw how rebellious she was being. "Well, I apologise, but I really don't have the guts to do so."
Tristan's smile was quite alluring as he said these words, so Priscilla was stunned for a moment.
"Hah! I guess you're a coward then!"
"I'm afraid you're mistaken, Princess. Since you have graciously offered me some wine, I will definitely drink it."
After saying that, Tristan took the wine cup from Priscilla and sniffed it.
There was a potent aphrodisiac in here!
It seemed that Laborn was really anxious.
At this thought, a sinister smile appeared on
Tristan's lips. He suddenly took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Priscilla's slender waist boldly. As soon as he did it, a warm breath immediately hit his face. "Princess, this wine is drugged. Are you sure you want me to drink it?"
Tristan whispered in Priscilla's ears.
Hah! Her guess was right!
At this thought, a hint of anger flashed through the Priscilla's eyes.
Laborn didn't care about her life and death to achieve his interests. She had initially made a guess, but when she heard what Tristan had said, she was furious.
"Well, I'm sure. What's wrong? Do you not have the guts to drink it?"
Priscilla looked so tempting and seductive as she questioned him.
Then, Tristan looked at Laborn, who was standing behind Priscilla, and smiled evilly.
"Well, since you've requested me to do so, Princess, I'll certainly listen to your orders."
After saying that, Tristan picked up Priscilla and walked to the nearby lounge. Well, everyone knew what they were about to do after that.
Did Priscilla regret this?
She didn't know the answer to this question.
At this thought, she glanced through the people in the hall. However, everyone was looking at her with indifferent gazes, so she felt cold immediately.
Alas! She had only loved one man deeply up till now, but the man was not by her side.
Suddenly, Priscilla thought about her own identity and the situation she was in. Even if Nathaniel accepted her, she could not stay with Nathaniel for a long time, could she? Furthermore, he had never chosen her since the beginning.
If that was the case, who she chose didn't matter, right? After all, this palace was too cold, and she was too lonely.
At this thought, there was a trace of loneliness in Priscilla's eyes. Then, she gulped down the wine in Tristan's hand. Before Tristan could stop her, her cherry lips directly covered Tristan's mouth, and the sweet red wine slipped down his throat.
When Tristan saw this, his eyes darkened slightly.
Meanwhile, Laborn was so angry that his anger was about to explode.
"Prissy Fang, get down here!"
He rarely treated Priscilla like this, but now, Priscilla acted as if it didn't hear him. Then, she continued to kiss and seduce Tristan with all her might.
When Laborn saw this, he immediately turned to the man that was pretending to be Tristan and said, "Mr. Acker, are you going to watch as your assistant oversteps the boundaries?"
"Well, he is not only my assistant. As long as he is happy, I won't stop him from doing what he wants."
A mysterious gaze flashed through the eyes of the man who was wearing the mask, but it disappeared quickly. Then, he continued to put on an emotionless look again.
Meanwhile, Laborn was enraged. When he was about to ask someone to separate Priscilla and Tristan, they had entered the room and locked the door behind them. Right now, both of them felt a little bit warm because of the aphrodiasac.
Well, well. Tristan looked like a well-groomed heir just now. But now, he had pushed Priscilla against the wall, and both their lips were entangled in a passionate kiss.
On the other hand, Mango was speechless.
There were so many rooms here! Hah! Why did both of them have to choose this one? Furthermore, they were now devouring each other non-stop, so she had no choice but to cough out loud. "Um... hi, can both of you stop for a second?"
Mango smiled awkwardly as she said this.
When Priscilla and Tristan heard her voice, they immediately paused. Then, Priscilla pushed Tristan away as if she had seen a ghost.
"Hey! Why are you here?"
"Haha! Sorry to disturb both of you, but why did you have to choose this room out of all the available room here?"
Mango chuckled as she said these words. Meanwhile, Priscilla had a solemn expression on her face.
On the other hand, Tristan was stunned for a moment when he saw this. When he saw that it was Mango, he gave a sweet smile instead.
"What? I thought both of you went out, but I never expected that you would be hiding here! Aren't you worried that Laborn's man will see you here?"
"We just need to rest here for a while. When the banquet reaches its peak, we will get a chance to catch Bernard."
Mango was somewhat reassured when she saw that Tristan was here.
On the other hand, when Priscilla saw that Tristan and Mango seemed to know each other, she couldn't help but frown.
"Is he one of your subordinates?"
"Well, to be precise, he is one of Nathaniel's men."
Mango didn't know what she said was correct. However, Nathaniel was also from the Southeast District, and he had a higher rank than Tristan. Hence, Tristan would automatically be one of Nathaniel's men. Meanwhile, Priscilla was stunned when she heard this.
"What? Are you one of Mr. Ye's men?"
"Do I not like like one?"
Tristan still smiled while he said this, but there was no trace of desire in his eyes anymore.
When Priscilla saw this, she felt astonished. Suddenly, she felt a little afraid when she saw how quickly Tristan could adjust his emotions.
Previously, Tristan had been passionate and was in a hurry to get her clothes off. However, Priscilla felt burdened now when she saw how calm he looked.
Who on earth was this man?
Before Priscilla could ask this, Mango had already opened her mouth to speak.
"Tristan, when will you leave here?"
"I'll leave after the banquet."
Tristan didn't react when Mango had exposed his real identity in front of Priscilla. On the contrary, Priscilla was completely shocked.
"What?! Are you Tristan? Then who is the masked man?"
Mango was stunned when she heard what Priscilla had said.
Did Priscilla not know about Tristan's real identity.
She thought that they knew each other because they had been so passionate when they walked in.
Suddenly, Mango realized her mistake, so she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I didn't know..."
"It's fine."
Tristan smiled dotingly at Mango before looking at Priscilla. Then, he said slowly, "I'm Tristan Acker. So, that masked man is my assistant, Teagan."
"But everyone thinks that he is the heir to the Acker family!"
"Well, I was the one who wanted him to do that. After all, it's more convenient for me to do what I want this way."
Tristan answered frankly as he didn't bother to hide anything from Priscilla.
On the other hand, Priscilla's face darkened when
she heard this.
"Well, I know your secret now. So, what are you planning to do with me?"
"What do you think?"
Tristan looked at Priscilla as he asked this question with a smile. However, she still felt as if he was pressuring her.
Meanwhile, Priscilla still didn't know what he was thinking, so she could only answer softly, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this secret."
"Well, how can I trust you if you only say this? I'm sure you have been living in the palace all these years, Princess. Didn't you learn that you shouldn't trust anyone?"
"Then do you want to kill me?"
Priscilla was furious as she asked this.
She had gotten the wrong person, just like everyone else! If she had known beforehand that the person standing in front of her was the actual heir to the Acker family, she would've never carried this plan! Furthermore, now that Mango was here in the room, she could no longer do as she wished.
But, it seemed that Tristan did not want to let her go.
What should she do then?
Priscilla was still thinking about this when Tristan said, "Why don't you become mine then? I'll be more relieved if you're my lover."
"What? Tristan Acker!"
She didn't know whether she was angry or not. After hearing what Tristan had said, her face instantly turned red, and she became even more furious.
Meanwhile, Mango watched as both of them argued with each other and realized something.
Did Tristan fall in love with Priscilla?
Wow! She liked how things were turning out right now!
Once Priscilla had a lover of her own, she would naturally not covet Mango's husband, Nathaniel. If that happened, Mango would be more relieved, wouldn't she?
At this thought, Mango hurriedly said, "Well, I think Tristan quite a good match for you. Prissy, you should think about this."
"Well, if you think he's not a bad candidate, you should marry him! Then, you can give Mr. Ye to me. This will be the best of both worlds, right?"
Priscilla didn't care what Mango said and directly retorted.
Mango was a little depressed when she heard what Priscilla had said.
"Pris..."
"Shut up!"
Priscila was afraid that Mango might call out her code name, so she quickly stopped her.
Although Mango trusted Tristan very much, Priscilla did not believe him. After all, he was a man who could even fool Laborn. Hence, she did not think that he was a mere doctor! Furthermore, Mango had also said that he was Nathaniel's subordinate. When Priscilla recalled that Tristan had changed his nationality when he was sixteen, she couldn't help but frown.
"Which country do you belong to now."
"Z Country."
On the other hand, Tristan did not hide anything from her. While he was chatting with Pricilla, he found a medical kit in the lounge. Fortunately, there were still functional medicine and disposable syringes inside.
"Mango, give me one of the pieces of candy that I handed to you. The blue one."
When Mango heard what Tristan had said, she quickly found the bag of candy Tristan had given her and handed it a blue one.
After that, Tristan melted the antidote with water and placed it into the syringe. Then, without further ado, he lifted Priscilla's arm and plunged it in.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
Priscilla wanted to struggle out of his grasp. However, she found that her skills were useless as Tristan held her tightly in his grip.
His slender hands looked weak, but he was holding Priscilla tightly. Then, Tristan didn't let go until he had injected the antidote entirely into his body. After that, te whispered, "There was a aphrodisiac in the
wine just now. If I didn't give you the antidote, you would've embarrassed yourself. This medicine is very potent and will make people lose their minds."
Mango was stunned when she heard these words.
What was going on?
Why was there an aphrodisiac?
What was happening between Priscilla and Tristan.
Was Mango doing this for Priscilla's good, or was she ruining their relationship right now?
She didn't understand what was going on. However, Priscilla was furious when she saw Mango's stunned expression, but she immediately lashed out at Tristan instead.
