The old king revealed a faint smile. "Officer Joe, please take a seat," he said.
Staff members immediately led Joe and seated him across from Ivana, on the chair at the end where Lillian was sitting.
Joe nodded in greeting to the crowd, his gaze landing on Ivana. He gave a slight nod as if he did not recognize her. Ivana did the same, pretending to be a stranger.
Then, Joe looked at Lucas Walker, nodding his head in recognition. The always haughty count nodded back slightly.
Ivana saw this and was a bit shocked.
Earlier, the old king referred to Joe as a chief of police. Clearly, he was here in his capacity as Interpol.
Previously, Lucas had mentioned that he was negotiating with Interpol. Could it be that he was referring to Joe?!
At this point, King Edward raised his hand lightly, whispering something to an assistant nearby. The assistant immediately passed the instruction to a servant.
