Mommy Alert! The CEO Daddy Won't Stop Courting-Chapter 672 Kuhn’s Rage: Stun Mr. Sutton...

Moreover, after her father’s death, her ascension to the throne was marked by immediately expelling Ralph Carter, who was her father’s most trusted confidant, from the palace, and planning to have Kuhn open the royal tomb. All of this was quite suspicious.

Eli pondered, how could a person change so much?

She even began to doubt whether the woman before her was really the same elder sister from before.

Bella Sutton looked at the cheerful Polly, who called her ’Queen Sister,’ and the calm-faced Eli, and suddenly issued a regal order: "Kneel!"

Polly was startled and pouted in a coquettish manner, "Queen Sister..."

Before Polly could finish her words, Bella Sutton, with the demeanor of a queen, reiterated the command: "Kneel."

Polly didn’t understand why her sister suddenly wanted her and Eli to kneel, but she still followed the etiquette and knelt down with a thud.

Eli’s eyes were filled with more suspicion.

She didn’t say much and also prepared to kneel like Polly.

However, just as she was about to kneel, Bella Sutton stepped forward.

Bella Sutton raised her hand and struck Eli’s delicate cheek with a slap, "You came in here without greeting me, did you not hear what I said? This is the result of ignoring me!"

Eli did not intend to ignore Bella Sutton.

Although Eli felt some suspicion, the person before her was indeed her elder sister, now the queen of Whitehill, and according to etiquette, she and Polly should kneel to her.

But before she could move, the slap had already landed on her face.

Eli’s face was turned to the side by the slap.

A wave of fear surged within her, but being introverted, she held back the stinging pain on her face and forced back her tears.

She turned her head to look at Bella Sutton, defending herself, "I didn’t..."

Bella Sutton’s eyes were fierce; not allowing Eli to finish her defense, she interrupted coldly: "You’re still denying, aren’t you defying me now?"

Having said this, Bella Sutton looked towards the guards outside the palace and ordered coldly, "Guards, take this defiant woman to the dungeon!"

Upon hearing Bella Sutton’s command, the guards outside immediately came inside.

Polly was shocked.

She knelt on the ground, tugging at Bella Sutton’s clothes, her face streaked with tears as she pleaded, "Queen Sister, please no! Eli definitely didn’t mean to defy you, how could she possibly go against your wishes? Please, for the sake of our bloodline, don’t send Eli to the dungeon, okay?..."

Eli looked at Polly, who was kneeling on the ground, speaking coolly, "Polly, don’t plead."

After saying this, she slowly lifted her gaze, her eyes cold and frosty, directly meeting Bella Sutton’s.

Seeing the look in Eli’s eyes, Bella Sutton felt an urge to shoot Eli right there.

Bella Sutton shook off Polly’s grasp on her, her gaze fierce and indifferent, her voice cold and authoritative, "All those who do not obey me deserve death! I am the queen here!"

"Don’t forget how your mother killed mine, I didn’t let you die earlier because father was still alive!"

"And now, you dare to disobey, you will face the consequences!"

Upon finishing, Bella Sutton waved her hand, "Take her away!"

The guards obeyed and immediately began to escort Eli out.

But just as they reached the door, a chilling voice rang out, "Stop!"

Following that, Kuhn swiftly rushed forward, blocking the guards’ path, and took Eli from their grasp.

He eyed the guards coldly, his voice quiet yet chillingly demanding, "What are you doing?"

Seeing Kuhn suddenly appear and stop the guards’ actions, Bella Sutton immediately came out.

She faced Kuhn, speaking with full queenly authority, "Kuhn, what are you doing? Eli defied me, are you going to defy me along with her?"

"Hmph!" Kuhn snorted coldly, his eyes dark and deathly still, meeting Bella Sutton’s gaze, "Then may I ask, Queen, how did Princess Eli defy you?"

At that moment, Polly ran out, looked at Kuhn, and explained, "Queen Sister asked me and Eli to kneel, Eli was just a bit slow to react, she didn’t kneel immediately. Queen Sister misunderstood, said Eli defied her, and wanted to send Eli to the dungeon."

"Ha!" Kuhn laughed coldly, speaking mercilessly, "Just for that, the queen wants to imprison her half-sister in the dungeon? Or perhaps the queen intended all along to kill Eli and Princess Polly, using this as a pretext and acting deliberately?"

Bella Sutton’s intentions being exposed made her furious, she exclaimed, "Kuhn, don’t forget your status! You are merely a subordinate guarding the royal tomb, you have no right to speak here!"

After speaking, Bella Sutton looked towards the guards at the side, coldly ordering, "Take her away!"

Kuhn held Eli tightly in his arms, his gaze icy cold as he met Bella Sutton’s eyes, "Let’s see who dares!"

"Kuhn, are you rebelling now?" Bella Sutton questioned coldly.

Before Kuhn could reply, she eyed Kuhn with malice and continued in a cold, threatening voice, "Kuhn, don’t forget I am the queen, the consequence of defying me is well known. If you dare protect her again..."

"What if I protect her? Will you throw me in the dungeon too?" Kuhn retorted coldly before Bella Sutton could finish speaking.

Eli didn’t want to implicate Kuhn, so she immediately stepped out of his embrace, gazing warmly at Kuhn, "Kuhn, you don’t need to worry about me, I..."

Due to Eli’s movement, Kuhn then noticed the finger marks on Eli’s face.

There was no need to ask; Kuhn knew whose hand those distinct finger marks came from.

Kuhn’s brown eyes instantly filled with destruction.

He looked at the vicious-looking Bella Sutton, thinking with a scoff, is this her true self revealed!

He silently turned his hand slightly.

With his movement, a silver needle silently entered Bella Sutton’s neck.

Bella Sutton then fainted.

Looking at Bella Sutton, who had fallen unconscious, Kuhn spoke coldly: "The queen has fainted; quickly carry her into the chamber for rest."

Maids immediately came forward to carry the unconscious Bella Sutton inside.

Kuhn looked towards the guards, "You should also leave; I’ll take Princess Eli and Princess Polly with me. If anything comes up, let the queen come to me after she wakes."

After speaking, Kuhn left with Eli and Polly.

Inside Eli’s chamber.

Kuhn’s long, slightly cold fingers gently touched the side of Eli’s face that had been struck, softly and warmly asking, "Does it hurt?"

Eli shook her head, "It doesn’t hurt."

This icy young man, who always seemed emotionless to outsiders, was now looking at Eli with affection.
