Never Tired of Mr. Leon's Love
Chapter 517

Since Annabella could not get a favorable response from Theodore, she changed her tactics and started chatting with Juliana instead.

Recently, Annabella came to the palace with gossip and witty jokes she heard from God knew where to entertain Juliana and make her laugh. Throughout it all, Theodore felt sidelined by Juliana, failing to find a chance to speak. While chatting with Juliana, Annabella would occasionally bring up Theodore, who would only smile politely as he did not want to seem disrespectful so soon.

Sometimes, Theodore even wondered if Annabella had a defense made of iron as she seemed completely insusceptible to his coldness as she continued to approach him.

Annabella spent the whole day in the palace, eating and sometimes going out of her way to help the maids.

Theodore did not know if it was intentional, but Annabella knew very well that the maids would not allow her to help in the kitchen because of her status, yet she insisted on entering.

This left the maids shocked as they quickly tried to escort her out of the kitchen respectfully.

Theodore watched Annabella's poor acting, wondering how to tell his mother that she did not come with good intentions.

Theodore reckoned that Juliana was well aware of the situation. She was just trying to maintain a good relationship between the royal family and the nobility.

In recent years, the royal family's dominance had caused resentment among many nobles, especially after the royal family started venturing into business. It further upset the noble families engaged in commerce.

They even wanted to invest, hoping to avoid further trouble. However, how could the royal family swallow such humiliation? After delivering a blow to these troublemakers, they finally learned to behave.

One had to be firm when dealing

with people like them. Only by

teaching them a lesson would they relent. These were the survival skills Theodore had learned over the years in the palace. en FindNovel

Perhaps he should be harsher on Annabella to make it clear that he had no feelings for her.

If Annabella still wanted to be friends after, Theodore would not be opposed to it.

Seeing as Theodore was unwilling to engage with her, Annabella sharply brought up Lucy.

She knew that Theodore was very fond of his sister, so he should have plenty to say about her, right?

"Theodore Theard that Lucy and her

husband are very in love. Her husband is the CEO of Leon Corporation, right? I've met him before, but I didn't have the chance to talk to him."

As soon as Lucy was mentioned, Theodore had plenty to say.

"Yes, my sister is happily married to Matthew. I thought that he was a player at first and that his coldness portrayed in the media was just an act.

"Most of the people from high

society I've encountered like toying with the emotions of others, sol was surprised to see how devoted

he is to Lucy."

Annabella commented, "It sounds like Matthew is an amazing guy."

"Absolutely. He really is outstanding, and I admire him a lot. But if he ever betrays Lucy in the future, I won't let him get away easily."
