?Chapter 1507:
Moved by impulse, she presented him with her emblem, a symbol of royal favor. But he returned it to her.
The rejection wounded her deeply, yet the memory of his gentle grip when he helped her to her feet still made her heart flutter.
There was no denying it now. She had fallen for Cedric. She dreamed of a future with him once his marriage ended.
She would cast aside her firm stance against divorced men. Love was worth the gamble.
She parted her lips, her voice soft with concern. “What was the emergency? Was it that serious?”
Hamilton hesitated for a moment, observing the intensity in her eyes. He concealed a grin, surprised by how hopelessly smitten the princess seemed. This newfound leverage pleased him.
“It’s Dani,” he replied.
“She’s refusing to dissolve the marriage. She’s pulling every maniptive stunt she can think of. Theyunched thepany together, and despite that, she branded it under her own name. Cedric, ever forgiving, didn’t object. But now that he’s trying to end things, she’s demanding that he walk away from it all. That’s why he had to turn back.”
As he spoke, his eyes welled up, adding a touch of heartfelt sorrow to his performance.
The princess was visibly moved.
“In that case, forget thepany. It’s not worth dragging things out with Dani over business matters.”
Hamilton inclined his head.
“That’s exactly what I told him. But Cedric insists it’s not about wealth—it’s about ensuring everything is finalized properly. He’s afraid unresolved details might affect your future together. He genuinely cares.” Even Hamilton seemed stirred by his own tale.

Tears shimmered in the princess’s eyes. “Tell him not to rush. I’ll wait for as long as he needs.”
Hamilton exited with a smug smile tugging at his lips.
Behind him, his secretary watched with a conflicted look.
“Mr. McCoy, nothing you said was true. Cedric and Dani are deeply in love. There’s no divorce.”
Hamilton shot a sharp re at his secretary.
“What would you know? Cedric has lived simply and doesn’t understand the allure of the high life. That’s why he turned it down. But just wait. Once he tastes the luxury and mour of the elite, he’ll be hooked!”
The secretary nodded inplete agreement.
Cedric’s life was indeed much simpler than that of the typical wealthy individuals in Oiscoll. He carried himself with an unpretentious air.
Although he often wore bespoke high-end suits from Elite Luis, it was more a reflection of Dani’s influence than his own desire for luxury. More surprisingly, he was frequently seen carrying a basket of groceries, with rumors suggesting he even cooked for himself.
