CHAPTER 390: CHAPTER 390: THREE WOMEN, ONE DRAMA

Although Cole Crawford is out of the operating room, the doctor said that his condition is very dangerous right now, and if he doesn’t get through the critical period, no one can save him.

"Grace, where will our wedding be held? I heard that the heir of the Wexler Family will have their marriage at the Wexler’s estate, which is a sacred ceremony. Since you are the heir of the Wexler Family, I wonder if the old madam has planned to hold the wedding at the estate this time?"

Grace paused; she hadn’t thought about where to hold the wedding, but with Xavier’s reminder, she realized it.

She is the acknowledged heir of the Wexler Family.

The Wexler Family’s status is very high, and the Crawford Family’s status is also very high. If both families are marrying, it’s certain that all the big figures will attend. If the wedding is held outside, wouldn’t it be a laughing stock?

"I’ll have grandmother hold it at the Wexler estate, so you don’t have to worry about that."

Xavier curved his lips slightly; it’s good that it’s being held at the Wexler estate, that way there’s a chance to enter that so-called basement.

Grace went back and told the old madam about this matter, but she spoke very tactfully and didn’t tell the old madam that Xavier was the one who initially suggested it, otherwise the old madam would surely become suspicious.

"Okay, Grace, I promise you, the wedding will be held at the Wexler estate, I’ll have people set up the place immediately. You are the heir of the Wexler Family, and this time, you must let everyone see how much we value you."

Grace was filled with excitement; by then, she would be the princess in everyone’s eyes!

Since the announcement of the marriage between the two families, prominent figures from various industries have come from other places just to attend the wedding.

Moreover, the old madam has already spoken, the wedding will be held at the Wexler estate this time.

The Wexler estate rarely opens to the public, only opening for a few days when each heir gets married. If the wedding is held at the Wexler estate, it clearly shows the Wexler Family’s attitude towards this heir.

Grace was surrounded by people speaking flattering words, many of whom were members of the Royal Family of Morvania.

However, there was one woman who always had a bad attitude towards her; after a little inquiry, she found out that it was Princess Martha, currently the most favored princess.

Martha felt a bit bitter. Didn’t Xavier like Eleanor Hollis before? She had already decided to give up, but now it’s another woman marrying Xavier.

She had known Xavier for so many years, why wasn’t this opportunity hers? Why did this Wexler heiress suddenly appear?

A trace of jealousy flashed through Martha’s eyes. Previously, because of Eleanor Hollis, there had been some tension between her and Xavier, and later, she was severely used by Cole Crawford, making Xavier completely ignore her.

"I heard you weren’t in Morvania before, but grew up in a small village?"

Surrounded by all the young ladies there to see Grace, when they saw Martha not giving Grace face, no one dared to speak, as this was a royal princess.

Grace’s face stiffened, looking up to see Martha standing proudly in front of her.

"Who are you?"

She knew her opponent, but she was very uncomfortable with how rudely she spoke right from the start.

Martha scoffed coldly, her arms folded lightly.

"Xavier and I have known each other since we were little. Before, it didn’t seem like Xavier was fond of you. He almost had a falling out with me over Eleanor Hollis, it seems your relationship isn’t that strong. Could it be Xavier is being forced to marry you by his brother?"

Grace blushed under her gaze; she, a dignified heiress of the Wexler Family, why should she cling onto Xavier?

Both are well-matched in terms of family!

"So, Princess Martha, everything that needs to happen between Xavier and me has already happened. I might even be pregnant with his child. If he doesn’t marry me, then who should he marry, you?"

Grace’s face was full of mockery. She was about to hold both the Wexler and Crawford Families in her grip. Just a princess, she really didn’t take her seriously.

Martha was so angry her face was red; compared to this woman, Eleanor Hollis seemed much more pleasing to the eye.

"You!"

Blocked in her chest, she said nothing, and directly threw a cup of hot coffee over Grace.

Grace screamed and fell directly to the ground.

"In Morvania, no one dares to speak to me like this, even if you are a Wexler heiress, huh!"

Martha strode out with large steps, cursing Grace hundreds of times in her heart.

She turned directly to the Crawford Family, wanting to know what Xavier was thinking, how he could marry Grace.

But as soon as she stepped into the Crawford house, she saw Eleanor Hollis, and her mind went blank.

Eleanor Hollis?! How could Eleanor Hollis appear in the Crawford home!

Eleanor Hollis saw her too, her face not looking very good; previously, because of this princess, she had almost died, and she was also a truly ruthless character.

"A nice one, Xavier, saying he will marry Grace but hides his true love in the villa, truly despicable!"

So he’s that kind of jerk!

Martha was flushed with anger.

"Mummy, what do you think of this?"

Marcus came down wearing a brand new outfit, sent by Uncle Crawford.

"Mummy? Eleanor Hollis, is this your child?"

This woman looks so young, yet her child is so big already.

Eleanor Hollis feared Martha might target her again, so she had to speak up.

"Yes, I’m not in the Crawford Family because of Xavier; Princess Martha need not trouble me today."

Martha felt a bit embarrassed, instantly letting down her guard.

"It seems you also lost to that Wexler woman, that woman is truly displeasing to look at; Xavier’s taste is getting worse."

Thinking of that woman’s smug expression, her face wrinkled up again.

A flicker of light passed in Eleanor Hollis’s eyes as she calmly helped Marcus adjust his clothes.

"In fact, it’s simple for Princess Martha to get revenge on her. Just mess up the wedding, and you could do..."

She quietly leaned beside Martha, whispering in her ear.

The light in Martha’s eyes grew brighter, finally slapping her leg.

"How did I not think of that, Eleanor Hollis, you’re indeed resourceful."

Martha left here in high spirits, her departure filled with joy.

Eleanor Hollis curved her lips slightly; she was indeed helping Hugo Quinn and his people in this way. The more chaotic the wedding, the more time Hugo would have, ensuring the rescue of the people in the basement.

Martha, as a princess, wouldn’t face much consequence even if she made a mess outside. There’s nothing the Wexler Family could do about her.

Her eyes sparkled with laughter as she pinched Marcus’s hand.

"Mummy, are you up to some mischief?"

Marcus asked as he looked up, opening his mouth to speak.

Eleanor Hollis tapped his head lightly, "How can it be mischief? I’m doing Princess Martha a favor. If she can help Hugo, Xavier’s attitude towards her might change too."
