Chapter 1673: Jocelyn Summoned by the Princess Consort

"Julie, bring Jocelyn Morgan to see me!" Catherine’s eyes were a bit cold. She needed to seize the opportunity before Justin Kingston arrived, to have a good talk with this girl, persuade her to turn back and not do such a foolish thing.

Julie also guessed the princess’s thoughts, she bowed respectfully, "Yes." Then quickly stepped out, because she estimated that CEO Kingston should be arriving soon.

In the lavish palace, Catherine paced back and forth on the rabbit fur carpet, her mood particularly bad.

Surely this Jocelyn Morgan has some means; otherwise, how could she have both father and son wrapped around her finger?

In the King’s palace—

Ever since Prince Taylor was driven away, Jocelyn Morgan only felt extremely awkward, her heart full of self-reproach as well; it wouldn’t be good for anyone if this situation escalated.

Yet the King did not blame her at all, instead apologized to her, "I’m really sorry, Jocelyn, he was being immature and caused you trouble."

"King." Jocelyn was very worried about Ian Shelby’s feelings, surely this matter had already spread within the royal family?

"I’m sorry, it was my poor handling that caused you worries." Jocelyn apologized again, "Please take care of your health."

The King got angry, and naturally, his health wasn’t too good; he clutched his chest, took a deep breath, "You continue studying, I’ll go back to my room to rest."

Then, with Arthur’s support, he walked toward the bedroom.

Furthermore, the King insisted that Jocelyn return to the study to continue studying, not allowing her to assist him or even see him off.

Watching that back disappear at the door, Jocelyn took a long time to recover her senses, feeling a bit downcast.

She was wondering, if Ian Shelby got to know about today’s matter, what would he think? Would he misunderstand?

If Catherine the princess got to know, what would she think?

Thinking deeper, could this implicate Ian Shelby?

This was what Jocelyn Morgan was most worried about at the moment, Ian Shelby had always been hiding his identity, and she also had to fully cooperate.

And the King protecting her today clearly indicated her identity was not simple, and the captain of the guard by Catherine’s side was quite shrewd.

However, fortunately, CEO Kingston was coming over, a new hope was about to arrive.

Just as Jocelyn came to her senses and prepared to turn back to the study, she heard approaching footsteps, sharp and clear.

Soon, the guard captain Julie appeared at the door and walked toward Jocelyn.

The two exchanged glances, and Jocelyn felt the other was clearly coming for her.

"Miss Morgan." Julie stopped in front of her, delivering Catherine’s summons with a faint tone, "The princess requests your presence."

Facing those neither cold nor warm eyes, Jocelyn had a bad premonition in her heart.

Was Catherine seeking her because of the thing with Prince Taylor just now?

Jocelyn said nothing, nor did she delay, she stepped forward, Julie following behind her.

Descending the stairs and exiting the palace, Julie led the way despite Jocelyn knowing where the princess’s palace was.

Along the way, she theorized in her mind like a writer, guessing what questions the princess might ask later?

As a mother, upon hearing the news of her son being driven out by his father, what would her heart be like?

Jocelyn treated it like a book, establishing the character of Princess Catherine, and with such a character, what would she do in this situation?

Jocelyn only had one thought, and that was to protect Ian Shelby.

Never let her identity as Ian Shelby’s girlfriend be exposed, nor let Ian Shelby, who was focused on his research, worry about her.

Soon, the two peacocks at the palace entrance came into view, and Julie led Jocelyn into the princess’s palace.
