Chapter 540

Andrew had not slept the entire night and had been reading documents in the study.

He was a person with strong willpower. Even if his heart was in a mess, he could still force himself to calm down and read through documents.

He read through a nearly 300–page proposal word for word, Beside him. Yossi yawned. His legs were weak. Andrew did not even change his posture. However, his eyes were slightly red.

Yossi took a sip of strong coffice to wake himself up and asked in a low voice, Trince Andrew, what do you want to eat for breakfast?”

Andrew didn’t look up. His deep voice was tinged with hoarseness, but it was even more mellow and.

pleasant. “Anything.”

Yossi bowed his head and left the room.

In the morning, James, Andrew’s teacher, came to see him. The first thing James asked when they met was, “Prince Andrew, have you forgotten your initial intentions and your promise to the queen?”

Andrew lowered his ey He had once promised his mother that he would protect her and sit in the highest position in Sacms. He promised to make Saems a strong and prosperous nation But now. Andrew’s mind was in a mess because of a woman of an unknown bloodline.

Andrew’s eyes were filled with coldness. He didn’t like being unable to control himself like this.

No one in this world or anything could mess with Andrew’s mind and make him forget his priorities and initial intentions.

Seeing that Andrew’s expression was gradually becoming firm, James stroked his white beard and nodded in satisfaction. Prince Andrew, you must remember your initial imentions and priorities.

Andrew said. “I know.”

In the days that followed, Olivia did not see Andrew at all. Whether it was when she delivered food to Andrew, sent a message to Yossi, or blocked the entrance of Andrew’s palace, there was no sign of him.. How could this be? Was he avoiding her?

Olivia panicked. She no longer had her usual confidence and composure.

Did she do something wrong?

Why was Andrew avoiding her?

Elena passed on some information to Olivia. “This is information Captain Chavez gathered. There’s a banquet at the Secretary of State’s house tonight, and Andrew will be there.”

Olivia rubbed her forehead. “Prepare the clothes.”

Since she could not see Andrew in the palace, she would have to go elsewhere to meet him. She did not believe he could hide from her for the rest of his life.

The Secretary of State’s mother was turning 80 years old. Tonight was a banquet he had specially prepared for his mother’s birthday. All the dignitaries of Saems had arrived. The King had been living in seclusion this year and rarely left the palace. Therefore, Prince Andrew was the one who handled all the matters outside the palace dat required the king’s presence.

Olivia arrived very early. The banquet had just started, and no one had come yet.

She felt bored and sat in the corner and waited.

A good–looking person was a beautiful sight no matter where they went. Olivia had outstanding looks and a natural temperament. She had also been meticulously dressed up. Even if she sat in the corner, she was dazzling. Several gazes subconsciously swayed towards her.

“Beautiful lady. The second son of the Roman family, Erwen, quickly came over with a glass of wine.

His gage was evil. ‘Do I have the honor to treat you to a glass of wine?”

Olivia did not even raise her head. Her voice was cold. “Get lost!”

Billionaire’s Missing Darling +5 vouchers Erwen was speechless.

Fuck, what a hot woman she was, but he liked her!

His desire to conquer soared. Erwen narrowed his eyes and leaned over. A beauty with a bad attitude will always hurt others and herself.”

How annoying!

A cold glint flashed across Olivia’s eyes. She picked up the wine glass and was about to splash wine on Erwen’s face.

Before she could do anything, there was a commotion at the door.

Everyone in the banquet hall rushed to the door. Prince Andrew is here.”

The hand that held Olivia’s wine glass paused, and she looked at the door.

In the chaotic crowd, a tall and slender figure walked out. He was taller than everyone else around him.

In the middle of a group of middle–aged men with huge bellies, he stood out, looking like a crane.

Everyone around him was praising him. He tilted his head and seemed to be listening attentively.

Occasionally, he would nod and respond with a word of acknowledgment.

The people around him were so happy they could not close their mouths. Their faces were filled with praise.

Andrew had such charm. As he stood in the crowd, he made everyone around him fade and easily became the crowd’s focus. It made people subconsciously curry favor with him and look up to him.

Olivia subconsciously stood up and wanted to walk over.

However, Enwen, still beside Olivia, refused to let her go. He raised his hand and grabbed her sleeve.

You’re not allowed to leave!

Erwen’s voice was very loud, attracting everyone’s attention “That’s the second–born son of the Roman family, Erwen, right? He’s fooling around again.”

“Sigh, none of the women Erwen pestered have had a good ending. Who is that woman? Which family does she belong to?

Tve never seen her before. She’s probably Erwen’s female companion.”

“A female companion. The person who spoke sounded contemptuous. “She has no power or influence over him. It looks like she can’t escape his grasp Everyone looked on as if they were watching a show. No one stepped forward to help.

Andrew’s cold gaze followed the crowd, Inat it only swept past Olivia and Erwen. It was as if he did not notice Olivia.

He did not care about Olivia’s situation at all.

Olivia’s heart went numb, and she suddenly felt so hurt.

In the past, even if a man leaned toward Olivia, Andrew would have defended Olivia vigilantly. Now, she was even being pestered, and he did nothing.

Olivia sniffed and blinked away the tears in her eyes.

She was in a bad mood.

“Beautiful lady, what’s wrong?” Erwen asked nervously.

Beautiful ladies were gorgeous no matter what kind of state they were in. Even when they frowned, they looked good.

For a moment, Erwen felt an unbearable tingle in his heart.

Olivia pulled back her sleeve and lowered her eyes without saying a word.

Erwen was furious. “Darling, are you feeling unwell? I’ll take you to the lounge to rest.”

Olivia looked up and glanced at Erwen. Suddenly, she smiled. “Sure,”

With that, she left with Erwen.

As soon as she left, the old men standing beside Andrew immediately chuckled. They had an unspoken understanding. “Erwen is blessed.”

Billionaire’s Missing Darling +5 vouchers Before one of the men could finish speaking, there was a loud bang, and the huge screen beside him fell to the ground.

Andrew lowered his eyes to hide his cold gaze. He turned his wrist and explained casually, “Sorry, I accidentally touched it.”

Accidentally!

Everyone looked down at the screen and found it unbelievable. That screen weighed at least 10 pounds. How careless would Prince Andrew be to push such a heavy thing?

Among the crowd, only Yossi shrunk back and vaguely sensed Andrew’s emotions.

However, Yossi did not dare to speak. He only lowered his head so low that it was almost close to his neck. After that, Andrew seemed to be in a bad tood. No matter who came to speak to him, his cold gaze would sweep over them, making them shiver.

Some people came over to propose a loast.

Andrew swirled the glass and said coldly. “The wine is not good. I won’t drink it.”

Some women wanted to get closer to him, but before they could even get two yards close, they were frozen by the cold aura emanating from Andrew and retreated.

In the end, it was like a vacuum surrounded Andrew. No one dared to approach him.

Everyone shrunk their necks and did not know what to do. What was wrong with Prince Andrew? He was fine just now. How did he become so scary in the blink of an eye?

Everyone did not understand and looked at Yossi for answers.

It was quite a tricky situation for Yossi. He trembled as he walked forward. “Prince Andrew, why don’t you and take a look…

Before he could finish, Andrew shot him a cold glare.

Yossi shut his mouth instantly before he made Andrew more angry Andrew sat on his chair. His expression was calm, but his heart was in turmoil. It took almost all of his willpower to stabilize his emotions. His fingertips sank into his palm, and his hand was covered in blood.

He told himself that he couldn’t go over to Olivia. He definitely couldn’t let a woman mess up his thoughts.

As long as he endured this once, he would completely let of her.

After repeating this reasoning a few times in his mind, he finally calmed down.

However, at this moment, a scream suddenly came from inside the lounge. “Ah..”

Andrew could no longer control himself. He suddenly stood up and strode towards the lounge.
