Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

#Chapter 15 I have no interest in you

Doris stopped and turned towards the voice. Lady Jane slowly moved to face her, a ghost of a smile on her lips.

“Were you talking to me, my lady?” Doris asked with a polite smile.

“Do you see anyone else around that could play lady Melody so easily?”

Doris’ smile froze on her lips. “Play her?” Was this a joke? As much as Doris hated Melody, she would never dare play a lady. Especially not one so cruel. No revenge was worth losing her life over.

Lady Jane’s smile grew as she walked gracefully towards Doris. “Prince William has gone without an official lady for so long, it’s caused quite the jealousy between the girls at the palace. Those that fought with the other girls were never suitable for the title which was almost all of them. But Lady Melody was someone who had been marked by Prince William himself so he ignored her to see if she was fit enough for the role.”

Doris only blinked at Lady Jane as if she didn’t understand what the lady was implying.

“If you didn’t stop Melody’s bribery, she would have been worth nothing to the prince. She would have never earned the chance to spend the night with the prince in his own bedroom.”

Doris’s eyes widened when she realized Lady Jane knew exactly what Doris had done. How on earth did she find out Doris never gave the gold to Prince William’s valet?

It dawned on her that Lady Jane kept an eye on everything to do with Prince William, including his maids. Ms. Shirley had gotten her tip, but Peter never received the money. It must have been so obvious.
