My Sister-In-Law Is My Mate!?!

"Yes, father is right. Last night we even insulted his highness due to our personal arguments. He is not only the crown prince but also our guest last night. That was disastrous! I still feel ashamed when I think about it?" Amelia shook her head and took a deep sigh as if she was too ashamed with what happened but her eyes were filled with evil glint.

"So you do know that you all are not a good host?" asked hazel as she looked at them with a scoff.

"..." they both exchanged glances as if giving courage to the other to bear a bit more of her.

"Yes, but a good person is one who knows his mistakes and then improves them. That is why we want to improve our mistakes too!" added George when Amelia did not say anything.

"Sure! How about apologizing to Richard in front of everyone and not disturbing us later. I think you all have forgotten that we are a new couple.`` Hazel looked at Diana with glowing eyes and added meaningfully, "new couples should not be disturbed at night. Right, mother?" 

Diana's grip on the fork thighed and her whole body turned still when she heard hazel. She tilted her head and looked at hazel. 

'She knew!' it did not need words to know Diana that hazel knew what she had done last night. Did the maid blurt out the truth? Or did she get caught? No! She shook her head. If that would have been the case, then hazel would not have been slitting here and talking normally.

She would have already created a scene and George would have thrown her out of the palace.

With that thought, she calmed her fast beating heart and smiled at Hazel.

"Of course, a new couple should be given time to bond too." she was not going to react and make mistakes. She would just sit and observe for now.

She needed to be sure to take any action or else George would know what she was planning.

"Only you are smart enough to understand me, mother. But I still think you should do more planning when you plan a surprise next time!" added hazel with the same sweet smile on her face as she continued to look at Diana.

"Thump."

This time the fork fell down when she heard Hazel's comment. If it was vague earlier, now Diana was sure that Hazel knew. But then why did she not tell anyone? She could have used this chance to insult her further. 

There might be a chance that George would have thrown her out of the palace too. Then why was she silent?

In the end, she could only wait and see what Diana was up to. In the meanwhile she would send someone to look for the maid's family. She needed the daughter of the maid to blackmail her. So that she would not open her mouth and witness against Diana.

What a fool to tell me that she knew about the maid so that I could wipe all the evidence against me! Diana, instead of feeling guilty, looked at Hazel with disdain.

"But it is fine. I had discarded it well." added hazel again to ensure her mother did not waste time but Diana frowned when she did not understand it. But she stayed silent when she felt that her husband and her daughter were already looking at her with narrowed eyes.

"Did mother give you something, sister?" asked Amelia as she knew her mother too well. If she continued her acts, then she would lose a chance to meet the crown prince again too.

Hazel's smirk broadened as she looked at Diana who was panicking yet trying her best to maintain her composure. She would keep all of them on edge so that they would make mistakes and then she would send them to hell where they deserve to be.

"Well, yes! Mother sent a gift last night for my husband. But there was a disturbance between us, so I discarded it. 

I just want to tell her that she should be more thoughtful when she chases the gift for my husband.`` Diana remarked, confusing Amelia more. She was sure that Diana would never send a gift for Richard. Even they would not since they knew nothing about him.

Yet when she observed the face of hazel, she did not find anything amiss. If her mother had done anything wrong. Would Hazel been sitting there so leisurely and even mentioning the case so nonchalantly? 

With that thought, she let the matter go. Instead of raking her brain like a fool, she could always go and ask her mother later what the gift was!.

"Yes, it is very thoughtful of my mother that she sent a welcome gift to my brother in law. You should not be strict with what she has sent. After all, thought is what matters.

But if you need anything specific for you or your brother in law, tell me. I will go and bring it for you personally. After all, I still get my monthly allowances." replied Amelia with a bright smile on her face and hazel chuckled.

'Naive girl did she think that i would not notice that she was trying to say that her monthly allowances were more than our incomes and she could fulfil all our wishes with that.' Hazel was itching to tell them how rich Richard was but it would be bad for her plan. She wanted them to leave at the mercy of the crown prince, not Richard, so that they could not play family cards later.

She wanted to see them begging on roads and only then tell them what she was now.

"Oh is that so? You are too kind! Well, if you are insisting I want a new set of jewels from madam Topaz and for Richard, why dont you buy a nearby estate so that we could be neighbors in the future."
