His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire? novel Chapter 982

"Your Highness?!"

Bennett's eyes sparkled with intensity as he gazed at the slightly childish, utterly charming face that suddenly appeared before everyone.

His heart rate skyrocketed, and he had to forcefully close his eyes to reassure himself that everything in front of him was indeed real.

Stella bit her lip gently, stealing a brief glance at Bennett before withdrawing her gaze as swiftly as a bird flying past, leaving no trace.

Originally, he was the one who suggested they should go back to how things were between them.

But now, seeing Stella truly sorting out her feelings, truly not sparing him another glance, his heart felt as if it was being slowly sliced by a dull knife, the dull pain unbearable.

"Debby, why did you bring Her Highness over?" Cassius immediately stepped forward to greet them.

Debby's eyes welled up, "Her Highness is here to help everyone."

Upon hearing this, the crowd gathered around.

Thaddeus, breathing heavily, asked urgently, "Your Highness, can you really help us?!"

"I heard that Evadne has disappeared, taken away by Avery, the notorious leader of Helgen's most fearsome underground network."

Stella's eyelids were slightly swollen, obviously from crying, her voice soft and choked up, "I'm so worried... So yesterday, I pleaded with my father, hoping he could use the royal influence to help you search for Evadne across the nation."

Bennett's heart trembled, "Stella..."

Thaddeus, Cassius, and the others were deeply moved upon hearing this.

They had only interacted with Princess Stella for a few days during Mr. and Mrs. Fairhaven's wedding and didn't have a deep relationship.

But for her to offer her help, regardless of the outcome, their gratitude was immense.

Stella, with tears brimming in her eyes, sneaked another glance at Bennett:

"My father... finally agreed to help you find Evadne!"

The group erupted in cheers, overjoyed!

Just moments ago, they were worried about how to gain royal approval to mobilize the military. In the blink of an eye, their biggest problem was resolved!

"But... my father has one condition," Stella hesitated.

Thadus's gaze intensified, without any hesitation, "No matter the condition, even if it costs me my life, I agree!"

Stella paused, then slowly approached Cassius, lifting her pale face to meet his dark, intense eyes:

"My father says he wants Mr. Cassius Ashbourne to come to the palace; he wishes to meet you."

Everyone was surprised, their eyes turning towards their leader.

Cassius frowned, "Meet me? Why?"

Stella shook her head, "I don't know. He wants you to come to the palace first thing tomorrow morning. As long as you meet him, he will agree to deploy troops to help you find Evadne.

That's the only condition my father has."

Cassius resolved his expression, dispelling all doubts, "Alright, I'll go to the palace tomorrow."

...

ROSE Island.

In the evening, avoiding the scorching sun, Evadne was dressed in a fiery red backless dress by her maid, sitting in a wheelchair as Avery pushed her to view their wedding venue.

Several servants were still hard at work, fixing up the rosary.

They aimed to finish the arrangements as soon as possible, so Mr. Chambers and his beloved could marry here successfully.
