Chapter 1700: Ten Years After Ten Years

Helena truly didn't expect that Grandma was now seriously ill and unconscious because Olivia was manipulating things behind the scenes!

While this made her extremely angry, she also couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine...

Previously, she had never discovered that her cousin was actually such an insidious and vicious snake-hearted woman at her core!

Not only did she scheme against her, but she didn't even spare Grandma, the reigning Queen!

Helena, furious to the extreme, pointed at Olivia and scolded, "Olivia, do you know that plotting against the Queen is a serious crime of treason! In the past, you would have been sent to the gallows!"

Olivia curled her lips and mocked with disdain, "Send me to the gallows? To tell you the truth, the old woman's fate is completely in my hands. If I let her die today, she can't possibly live until tomorrow! If I let her die tomorrow, she can't possibly live until the day after! As soon as she dies, I can immediately ascend the throne and become the Queen of Northern Europe! By then, who could do anything to me?!"

Helena gritted her teeth, "Don't forget! The royal family is only a symbol to this country. Even if you are the Queen, you are still a citizen of this country and must abide by the laws of this country. If your actions are known to the outside world, even if you have ascended the throne as Queen, you will definitely be caught and tried publicly!"

Olivia asked with disdain, "But who outside would know? You? Do you really think that if you say something, outsiders will believe it?"

As she spoke, Olivia didn't wait for Helena to speak, and sneered, "Oh, by the way, you won't have a chance to talk to outsiders anymore, because from now on, you are not allowed to leave the palace for even half a step, nor are you allowed to have any contact with the outside world!"

Helena sneered, "What? You want to put me under house arrest? Don't forget, everyone knows I returned to Northern Europe. If I don't appear at your wedding tomorrow, what will they think?"

Olivia said disdainfully, "You will shoot a short video tonight telling everyone that you are suddenly feeling unwell, need to stay in bed to recuperate, and cannot be my bridesmaid!"

Helena blurted out, "In your dreams! I won't shoot it!"

Olivia smiled, "It doesn't matter, you don't have to shoot it, but I will have someone dig out your mother's two eyeballs. By then, the whole process will be filmed into a video and shown to you!"

Helena was trembling with anger and scolded, "Olivia! You are a devil!"

Olivia curled her lips, "I am not a devil, I am the future Queen of Northern Europe!"

Having said this, she stared into Helena's eyes and said word by word, "Helena! You can never be my opponent! If you want your mother to survive, honestly follow my arrangements. Otherwise, not only will your mother not survive, but you won't either!"

Helena was extremely angry in her heart, but she also knew very well that she was no match for Olivia at all.

Her only hope was Ye Chen.

Thus, she could only soften her stance in front of Olivia and said, "Let me consider it..."

Olivia sneered, "Remember, before eleven o'clock tonight, the video must be released."

"Okay..." Helena nodded, considering it a promise.

7:00 PM local time in Northern Europe.

The internal royal reception banquet was held in the palace's banquet hall.

Western-style banquets are very different from Eastern ones. The scene was not divided into several round tables, but an ultra-long table was set up, with more than ten exquisite dining chairs on each side of the long table.

There were not many guests attending this banquet. Counting Olivia and William's parents, there were less than twenty people in total.

Most of the guests were close friends and relatives of the two families, which is why they were invited to stay in the palace a day in advance.

And most of the guests would rush to the palace early tomorrow morning to attend the wedding.

Helena came down with Olivia.

Because of Olivia's threats, Helena's mood had been somewhat uneasy.

As soon as she arrived at the banquet hall, she immediately began to look for Ye Chen's shadow everywhere, because only by seeing Ye Chen could she feel at ease.

But Ye Chen did not appear in the banquet hall.

Seeing Helena, Olivia's father, Richard, immediately said with a smile, "Helena, you're back!"

Helena looked at Richard. She didn't know if her uncle had participated in the matter of making Grandma fall into a deep coma, but she was still very vigilant against this person in her heart, so she said, "Uncle Richard, how have you been lately?"

Richard sighed lightly and said, "Apart from Grandma's health condition which makes me worry, everything else is quite good."

As he was speaking, Amanlamovich also walked over. He first looked at Helena with some fascination, then stepped in front of Richard and said respectfully, "Hello, Prince Richard! I am Amanlamovich, it is an honor to meet you!"

Richard nodded slightly and said with a smile, "I have long heard of Mr. Amanlamovich's great name, but only today have I had the opportunity to meet you."

As he spoke, Richard added, "By the way, I have always liked the Premier League team you bought. If there is a chance, I must go to the UK to watch a live match!"

Amanlamovich said with a face full of surprise, "The Prince also likes football? Since that's the case, if you have time next week, you can come to London. It just so happens that the team has a home game next week!"

Richard nodded and said, "If there's nothing else in the royal family, I would really like to go to London for a short rest."

As he spoke, he sighed and laughed at himself, "But the royal family has so many things to do every day that I can't get away. I guess I'll have to wait a while for a rest!"

Amanlamovich said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. Summer is coming soon, and there are many summer matches. When the new Champions League season starts, maybe they will come to Northern Europe for an away game."

"Yes." Richard nodded and smiled, "I didn't expect you and I to have so many common topics. You and Helena sit next to me!"

After speaking, he pointed to the two empty seats on his right and said to Helena, "Helena, you sit with Mr. Amanlamovich."

Helena said awkwardly, "Uncle, I have a friend who came from afar. He is not familiar with the place here, so I'd better be with him."

Richard said indifferently, "You mean that person from the Ye family?"

"Yes." Helena said hurriedly, "This time, the one who came from the Ye family is Ye Feng's cousin, and also the direct son and grandson of the Ye family."

Richard sneered and said, "I really don't understand the Ye family. Such a big thing happened at home, why not stay at home and clean up the mess, but insist on running to Northern Europe to lose face."

Helena had no choice but to explain, "Uncle, don't say that. The Ye family also has good intentions. After all, I am the future daughter-in-law of the Ye family. They feel that if I come back alone, it would be somewhat lacking in etiquette."

Richard said casually, "I didn't approve of you marrying into China in the first place. Our royal family has never intermarried with races outside of Europe for so many years. I have also been considering this issue during the few days you were in China. Out of respect and maintenance for the royal bloodline, I think you'd better not marry far away to China. Just find a suitable young talent in Europe to marry!"

As he spoke, he glanced at Amanlamovich and said casually, "In my opinion, young talents in Europe like Mr. Amanlamovich are not inferior to the Ye family at all!"

Helena said with a face full of difficulty, "Uncle... the engagement is already set, how can it be changed just like that... If it spreads out, others will say our royal family has no credibility..."

Richard said indifferently, "The Ye family has had such a big incident, it is reasonable for us to change the engagement."

Helena said hurriedly, "But I don't know how to explain it to the Ye family..."

Richard waved his hand and said disdainfully, "What's hard to explain? Where is that guy from the Ye family? Let him come over, I will talk to him personally!"

Just as Richard finished speaking, Ye Chen walked into the banquet hall, asking with a smile as he walked, "I'm here, who wants to talk to me?" ===== CHAPTER 1701 =====
