"No," her mother sharply refuted with a frown. "I should've talked to you first before getting angry." She continued, "If Governor Harold hadn't explained everything, only God knows what I would've said or done to you."

However, he couldn't help but believe that Adele intentionally misled everyone into thinking she was being intimate with the prince at the dining table.
