Chapter 410: LADY JENETTE


    “And you must be Ovior, Arthur, Felix, Sebastian and... Darius. Did I get your names correctly?”


    Lady Jte smiled mischievously.


    ‘Hmm? She looks familiar but why?’ Veronica squinted her eyes.


    Lady Jte’s facial expression seemed overly familiar as if she had seen this kind of familiarity of voice before.


    “How?” Darius stared at her as though dumbstruck. He looked at Ironin in disbelief. “Don’t tell me you told your wife about us? You always show disinterest but you are soft-hearted toward us, aren’t you?”


    Ironin didn’t bother to look at him.


    Lady Jte chuckled. “That’s not it. Why don’t I show you how I know about all of you, Mr. yboy?”


    .....


    “Pff!” Felix didn’t hide hisughter.


    “Nicely said,” Zinnia smirked while approving the nickname.


    Darius gulped. He didn’t like others tarnishing his name in front of a beautifuldy.


    “Dearest Lady Jte, I’m sure there was a huge misunderstanding. You see the silver-haired woman beside you. she instigated me to bet on whether I can make you fall for me or not. I’m innocent!”


    Veronica’s jaw dropped at his desperate plea.


    ‘Did he just me everything on me?’


    She couldn’t believe how shameless he was.


    “No matter how much you push your me on Veronica, we were there, you know.” Zinnia clicked her tongue and shook her head. The right corner of her lips was stretched up.


    “What are you selling me for?” Darius hissed at her.


    Lady Jte chuckled. “I can’t believe you guys are exactly how my husband described. I always imagined how it would have been if you were interacting with each other. This is funnier than I imagined. Shall we go upstairs?”


    “Yes, we shall,” Veronica agreed.


    Ironin and Lady Jte took them to the second floor living room. Their hands were intertwined as they walked with Arthur and Veronica.


    Lady Jte described each room as they walked in the corridor.


    Veronica said, “I really want to see the rose garden you have, Jte. I heard that it’s the biggest rose garden in the entire world.”


    Lady Jte replied, “It is. I love red roses. So, Ironin hired gardeners to grow roses in the back of the castle. They have been taking care of the rose garden till now. We decided to have a pic at 10 o’clock in the rose garden. How about that?”


    Veronica’s face beamed. “Splendid!”


    “Anyhow, I was wondering. Where is your best friend?” Lady Jte inquired. “Her name is Catherine if I remember correctly.”


    Felix secretly nced at Sebastian.


    Sebastian had a cid expression. No one could guess what he was thinking judging by his face.


    Veronica awkwardly smiled. “She is thankful for your invitation but she had a prior date.”


    She didn’t tell her that Catherine didn’t want toe anywhere close to Sebastian. She just couldn’t.


    “Is it like this? That’s too bad. I wish I could meet her. I wanted to go to the Magic Tower many times but Ironin won’t allow it,” Lady Jte childishlyined.


    Veronica was startled. Once again, she had a feeling that she met Lady Jte before.


    “That ce is no good,” Ironin stated with a poker face.


    “It looks like Ironin does keep her wife as a prisoner,” Oviormented.


    Ironin red at him but he said nothing.


    “That’s not true at all,” Lady Jte defended her husband. “I can go anywhere whenever I want except for the Magic Tower. I’m not sure why he said so but I really want to go there. I want to know where he stays with his friends.”


    Zinnia confirmed, “He has a luxurious room like any one of us. We all stay on the same floor. Our room structures are simr. We have fancy meals every day. It’s a better ce than a pce.”


    “Then, I should be able to go there, right honey?” Lady Jte looked at her husband.


    Normally, others wouldn’t react to this kind of pet name. However, it was Ironin they were talking about.


    Everyone’s eyes fixed on him when he was called ‘honey’ sweetly by his wife.


    Ironin suddenly felt very hot. Blood rushed over his face. He scratched his left ear awkwardly and told her, “It’ll be better if you don’t go. Bad people are all over that ce.”


    ‘That I cannot deny. I still haven’t found anything yet,’ Zinnia thought. ‘If I could catch the person who was behind leaking the information regarding Veronica, that would ease my mind.’


    “As long as no one knows her identity, that’s fine,” Ovior shared his thoughts. “However, anyone acquainted with Veronica or us could be targeted. We have enemies everywhere.”


    “Is that how it is?” Lady Jte’s shoulders slumped. “Then, how do you all live there let alone sleep in peace?”


    Felix smiled amicably. “That’s because we are powerful enough to take care of ourselves. Plus, no one would dare to harm us in our domain. If they do, they just have suicide wish.”


    “Even so...” Lady Jte looked at her husband in concern.


    “Oh...hoho... don’t give him that look.” Darius shook his hand. “No one will be able to give him a single scratch, let alone a blow. They will wind up dead before they could step any closer. Don’t underestimate your husband’s murderous... hkk!”


    After being elbowed by Zinnia once again, he shut up.


    Zinnia covered her mouth and snickered, “Don’t mind his words. I’m not sure if Ironin ever told you this – our Darius cracked his head in childhood. Sometimes, he mixes up people.”


    Lady Jte was quizzically looking at Zinnia and Darius. She couldn’t understand why Zinnia kept attacking the yboy whenever he mentioned something about ‘murder’.


    ‘Are they trying to hide something from me?’ Suspicion arose in Lady Jte’s heart.


    However, Zinnia was a professional seductress. There was nothing she couldn’t do to melt a person’s heart.


    Lady Jte was no different. She smiled at Zinnia and brushed off her suspicion.


    The maids prepared a perfect pic for them. While admiring the red roses, Veronica inquired, “I was wondering how you two met. There is a rumor about Ironin that he kidnap[ed you and forcefully married you. Is that true?”
