Chapter 558 Everyone turned toward the entrance to see a graceful young woman walking in quickly.
It was Rainey. Her demeanor was even more outstanding now, with an added air of mature femininity.
Although her beauty was slightly less striking than Esme's, she was still a stunning woman. Combined with her status as the Lloyd family's second daughter and next in line to inherit the family business, she was enough to make many men's hearts race. "Ms. Lloyd, you're here." Kenny hurried forward to greet her, wearing a charming smile.
Rainey had many suitors, and Kenny was one of them.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOf course, Rainey wasn't the only woman he had pursued. He had also pursued Ebefore.
However, now that Prince Charles had set his sights on Esme, Kenny didn't dare to compete with him. So, Rainey was now his most desirable target.
Moreover, since the Lloyd family's eldest son was completely out of the picture, the position of the Lloyd family heir fell to Rainey. Marrying her would essentially mean gaining access to the Lloyd family's fortune, which was more appealing than anything else. However, Rainey completely ignored him and walked straight to Sebastian. She bowed her head slightly and said, "Mr. Wilder, my father is out of town and can't return immediately. Please forgive us!" Everyone was stunned. Rainey was apologizing to Sebastian? What was going on? Kenny, Marie, and others were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with shock and disbelief.
"What's going on with the betrothal gift?" Sebastian asked.
"Mr. Wilder, please be patient. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation," Rainey said. She was more aware than anyone present of Sebastian's formidable nature.
She then angrily approached Franklin. "Franklin, I told you to deliver the betrothal gift to Mr. Wilder. What exactly happened?" Franklin was already bewildered, and only cto his senses when Rainey questioned him. "Ms. Rainey, I followed the family head's instructions to deliver the betrothal gift to the most esteemed person present." "And who did you think was the most esteemed person here?" Rainey asked.
"Who else but Prince Charles, of course," Franklin said confidently "Prince Charles is the crown prince of Cereria. He's of noble birth and high status. Who else here could be more esteemed than him? Rainey immediately raised her hand and gave him a resounding slap.
"Ms. Rainey, why did you hit me? What did I say wrong?" Franklin asked, both aggrieved and angry.
"He's merely a Westerner and just the crown prince of stiny country. How is that esteemed?" Rainey demanded harshly.
Hearing this, Charles becdispleased. "Young lady, you should be responsible for your words. I am pf Western royalty. Do you not fear that I might lead an army to attack Dragothian after such disrespect toward our kingdom?" Franklin quickly interjected, "Ms. Rainey, you can't speak so recklessly. If you cause war between two countries, you'll go down in history as a sinner." "Franklin is right. Cereria is a developed country that we can't afford to offend. Ms. Lloyd, you should apologize to Prince Charles immediately," Kenny said. Others also urged her to apologize.

Charles, however, was furious. He
glared at Rainey and said coldly, "You dare to look down on us like this? здощ Have you forgotten how we invaded you before? All the men in Dragothian were cowards, fleeing in panic. Wherever we went, we killed your men and had our way with your women. Hahaha..." Unable to contain her anger, Rainey slapped Charles hard across the face.
Everyone was shocked. No one expected Rainey to dare strike the prince.
"Ms. Rainey! You've certainly caused big trouble now. Hurry andapologize, Franklin said angrily.
"Shut up!" Rainey slapped him too. "The Lloyd family has no place fon spineless people like you. Get out of my sight and don't letsee you again!"
