They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 365: Acting Cute

Of course she wanted to be there.

It wasn’t even the first time Abel had received a royal invitation. He was, after all, highly respected, both in the business world and in certain elite circles.

While most of his royal invitations came through powerful business associates, this one was different. It was personal.

Obinna, the Second Prince himself, was one of his close friends.

And because of that friendship, Abel had been given a seat at the royal event, with a plus one.

Juliet intended to be that plus one.

Juliet had seen the invitation and begged Abel to take her. He had agreed, but only on one condition.

“I only accepted to take you if you behaved,” Abel reminded her calmly. “You already broke your side of the bargain. So, my promise no longer stands, because you broke it first.”

His voice was calm, but firm. Logical. Final.

Juliet’s eyes widened in disbelief. This was a royal event, a freaking coronation! A once in a lifetime opportunity. How many people in the entire country were invited to something this massive?

The coronation of Crown Prince Somto wasn’t just a celebration, it was history in the making.

Even Abel had only gotten the invitation because of his close friendship with the Second Prince. It wasn’t something money or status could easily buy.
