Chapitre 58: Joanna's First Target

In a bright room illuminated by the beautiful chandeliers and bulbs, two ladies in their pyjamas were seen talking with their voices raised. 

The older lady said something the other lady didn't accept and she reacted by jerking to her feet.

"Mum, how could you tell me to resort to drugging the King if seducing him doesn't work when you know clearly that Rafael is my mate and I love him...,"

"What is love, stupid girl? Can it put food on your table, buy designer and limited edition clothes and other accessories for you or can it give you the power and influence you need to survive in this harsh world?" Adhara asked, her voice rising more than previously. 

She waited for her daughter to say something but Laura couldn't say anything. 

"See, you can't say anything because you know that love cannot give you a luxurious life but instead will make you live a wretched life".
