"What home could I be possibly referring to if not our home?" Joanna asked, sounding irritated.
"You have no place…,"
"Come back home after the party. Your little brother has been missing you ever since you disappeared," Mr Anderson said. His neutral expression while saying this infuriated Joanna.
For the 1001 time, she wondered if this man she has knew all her life was really her father or some stranger.
"Sorry but Anna is gonna spend the night with me today," Audrey said, not giving Joanna the chance to speak.
Instead of letting Joanna sleep in a house full of her enemies she would rather she spend the night over at her place.
Besides, she has missed Joanna way too much to send her to that hellhole on the night of her return.
Since none of them objected or agreed to what Audrey said, the two friends went to their table.
Not long after they sat down Kayden gave a speech.
His speech wasn't long nor was it boring. Everyone applauded after he finished giving his speech.
Joanna was surprised when she saw Chris come to stand beside her after Kayden had concluded his speech and was applauded.
"To celebrate my wife's return…," Kayden paused when he realised what he had said.
"To celebrate Miss Joanna Anderson, my mate's safe return, I would like to propose a toast to her," Kayden said.
Kayden only needed to say this much to get everyone's gossipy side wild.
"Let's invite Miss Joanna to the stage as we do this," Kayden said as he stared at where Joanna's seat was located.
"This way Miss," Chris said politely. It was when he did this that Joanna understood the reason Chris was standing there.
Joanna stood up and followed Chris' lead.
"What the hell is wrong with the King?" Doris asked angrily when she saw how Joanna was escorted like a Queen.
"Has he drank so much wine that is why he is getting delusional…,"
"That is not a proper way to talk about the King so watch your mouth because not even I would be able to save you if others overheard your words," Tiffany said coldly.
Although she looked so unaffected, the truth was that she was very angry just like her friends.
The way she was clutching her dress was evidence of just how hard she tried to suppress her anger.
"Sophie's words are very correct because how on earth would he treat her this way if he wasn't delusional," Doris supported firmly.
"You are the future Queen and everyone knows that so how could he call her his wife in front of…,"
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom "She is nothing but a lowlife girl. She isn't only the daughter of a mistress but a weak good for nothing. Do you think that the King would choose her over me?" Tiffany asked pridefully.
She turned and glared at Joanna now standing on the stage with the King.
"Besides, she was once his mate so I am sure His Majesty is merely doing this to save her face," Tiffany tried so hard to look for every way possible to justify Kayden's behaviour.
Nora nodded her head affirmatively. "You are right about that. From the beginning His Majesty wasn't known to be a heartless person so his actions are understandable," Nora agreed with a nod.
"To safe return and a happy reunion, cheers," Kayden raised his glass of wine in the air. Others followed suit even though they were not happy to do this.
"Welcome back," Kayden said as he clicked glasses with Joanna.
Joanna smiled at him and took a sip from the wine without uttering a word to him.
Seeing that the King was going to climb down from the stage soon. Tiffany hurried to her family's table.
"Grandpa, please do something about this," Tiffany pleaded.
"Even though you didn't ask me to intervene I would have done it, do you know why?" Tiffany's grandpa, a man who looks like he was in his late forties when he was over 150 years old asked, staring at his granddaughter.
"Because the last thing I will ever do in my life is let anyone disgrace our family and go scot-free. It doesn't matter whether that person is the King," The prime minister, Tiffany's grandpa, said fiercely.
He stood up from where he sat and approached Kayden's direction.
Reaching where the King was walking he obstructed his path.
"What do you think you are trying to do?" Chris asked angrily, not able to tolerate the man's insolence.
[See how my grandpa will put that lowlife girl in her place. Let's see whether His Majesty will still save her face after grandpa intervened]
Tiffany's smile broadened on seeing that her grandpa was about to take action.
"I want to have a word with His Majesty, do you have a problem with that," the prime minister snapped rudely.
"This is no way to approach the King….,"
"Since he said he has something to say then let him be. He is a prominent minister and I can see whatever he wants to say is urgent," Kayden stopped Chris from causing a scene over the issue.
Chris was still very angry with the elderly man, if not that it was the King who intervened he wouldn't have let the senile old man have his way.
"It's a known fact that the sham seer prophecised Anderson's bastard child to be your mate but it's also a well-known fact that you cancelled her title as your mate after she died…,"
"Did you say something?" Kayden asked coldly as he glared at the man standing in front of him.
Joanna standing beside Kayden pretended like she didn't hear what the old man said. She was certain that she would end up ripping off the man's foul mouth if she decided to intervene.
"Although I couldn't hear what you said because I was a bit absentminded while staring at your grandson…," Kayden trailed as his murderous glares centred on the man.
He smiled when he saw the prime minister trembled at the mention of the word "HIS GRANDSON"
"I will advise that you filter your words carefully. As you are aware, I tend to get into a bad mood lately and I can't fathom what I will do if that happens here. I am sure you understand the point I am trying to make, right?" Kayden asked.
"Yes… Yes, Your Majesty," The prime minister, Mr Martinez stammered, not able to keep his composure.
"So what were you trying to tell me again?" Kayden asked sternly.
