Chapter 786: Synergy
Chapter 786: Synergy
Although there was currently no concrete evidence, based on his understanding of the director, he believed there was a 90% chance that she had tampered with the evidence!
After spearing another piece of fish meat, Lyon chewed thoughtfully, frowning as he pondered.
If it were anyone else trying to hide something, he would have immediately sought clarification to intervene in time and prevent any irreversible consequences. But the director was an exception.
Given her character... or rather, her low moral standards, if she encountered a situation she couldn't handle, she would never act tough. Instead, she would undoubtedly use all her tricks and mobilize all available forces.
Throwing tantrums, acting shamelessly, using underhanded tactics, setting traps... She would do whatever worked, always adhering to her pragmatic approach. When it came to handling important matters, her integrity was bottomless, and there was no chance she would stubbornly endure any difficulties.
Whether her actions were embarrassing, despicable, or even against the rules, none of these concerns entered her mind. Therefore, if she intended to hide something from him, it was likely because she was confident in handling it alone, without the need for others' involvement.
More importantly, if he questioned her, she might turn the tables and tease him, asking what he had seen and then mocking him for his wandering thoughts. She might even dismiss his concerns altogether...
Tsk... Could it be that she was planning to avoid confrontation, fearing that he would discover the truth and confront her? Was that why she created such an obviously flawed fake memory? It seemed she was determined not to confide in me!
Just as Lyon frowned in deep thought, trying to figure out how to extract the truth from the red-haired director, Anna, sitting at the table, couldn't help but gently pat his arm.
"Brother."
After calling out to him, the slender girl asked with a hint of concern, "Is there a problem between you and Sister Veronica?"
"???"
Lyon's eyebrows shot up in surprise at Anna's sudden, odd question, and he asked in confusion, "Anna, why would you ask that?"
"Because... you seem to have something on your mind, and..."
Glancing at the almost-finished stewed fish on the table and then at the other two dishes that were barely touched, Anna couldn't help but express her worry, "And since you and Sister Veronica haven't seen each other for so long, you went to hand over work after returning, then came home for dinner, and didn't even mention going to see her. So, I was thinking, is there something between you two...?"
"No, you're overthinking it."
After listening to the slender girl's concern, Lyon chuckled and put down his spoon to scoop up some mashed yam, saying, "It's not that I don't want to see Veronica, but it's too early to go now."
"Too early?"
"Mhm."
After taking a spoonful of mashed yam drizzled with blueberry juice, Lyon explained with a smile, "Veronica is a workaholic, with a packed schedule. She works almost every day until late at night. Although I could visit her during the day, it might disrupt her work. So, it's better to go in the evening... Hmm, this mashed yam tastes really good."
"So that's it..."
After hearing Lyon's explanation, the slender girl heaved a slight sigh of relief. Looking at her brother, who was vigorously scooping up mashed yam, she couldn't help but sigh and tease him, "So, because you don't want to disturb her work, you're not going at all?"
"Huh?"
Lyon looked at his sister, puzzled by her expression, and asked, "I will go, didn't I just say that?"
"I was just planning to go later tonight..."
"You're going now!"
"But... you don't understand her routine. She's definitely still busy..."
I don't understand her, but I understand women!
As the slender young girl's hand paused mid-air, about to scoop another spoonful of mountain yam puree, she sighed and complained, "The wedding just ended, and you're already leaving on a long journey. It's been more than a month since we last saw each other, and you're not even in a hurry. You're waiting until tonight when you're free... It's probably Veronica, but if it were any other woman, you'd be single for life!"
"No, you don't understand the situation. Veronica has been busy with important matters, and I..."
"I don't need to understand the situation. I just need to understand you!"
Giving her brother a glare for his attempted explanation, Anna picked up the plates with both hands and said, "It's time for you to leave. Melanie peed on her blanket yesterday and felt embarrassed, so she got up in the middle of the night and swapped it with yours. It's still not completely dry, and there's no place for you to sleep at home today!"
"Huh?"
"Go! Hurry up!"
...
"What's wrong?"
As the prince was unceremoniously kicked out by his sister and found himself hailing a carriage in the night wind, the queen, who was working overtime, looked up in confusion and glanced at her female official with a puzzled expression.
"Is there a problem with the letter I asked you to return?"
"No, no problem."
Upon hearing Queen Veronica's question, the young female official quickly shook her head and then whispered with wide eyes, "But if we return this letter, according to the reply guidelines you provided, the Department of Public Works will definitely have to redraft the plan, and then work on it overnight. That means you'll be busy today..."
"Being busy isn't a problem."
"Hmm... it's not really a problem, but... but if Prince Lyon's airship has already returned, what if Prince Lyon comes to see you?"
"It's fine. It's still early."
After hearing Queen Veronica's words, she first glanced at the clock on her desk and then continued working, signing documents as she casually replied, "I estimate that Prince Lyon will arrive around 1:30 PM, so go ahead and return the letter. It won't affect him coming to see me."
???
Upon hearing Queen Veronica's confident response, the young female official couldn't help but pause in surprise.
Seeing the queen's assured demeanor, it seemed that Prince Lyon must have sent someone to contact her and set an appointment... But why didn't I know about it? I was on duty today.
"No one came, and the time I mentioned was just a guess."
After understanding the young female official's confusion, the slightly tired Queen Veronica stretched and began to move her body, explaining calmly, "While Prince Lyon is unreserved in his actions, he is someone who takes 'important matters' very seriously. He would never disturb someone while they're busy, not even me, his wife.
After receiving the 'specialty products' he obtained from the North Border, my work pace determines the speed at which the North Border receives supplies. It's a very important matter, so he'll definitely wait until I'm done before coming over."
So that's how it is.
After listening to Queen Veronica's explanation, the young female official nodded in realization and couldn't help but click her tongue, feeling a hint of sweetness in her mouth. Without any communication, she could understand what he was probably thinking. This must be the kind of synergy unique to couples, right? Wow, Princess Veronica and Prince Lyon are truly...
Hmm? Why is there a man outside the window, and... why does he look exactly like Prince Lyon?
