Leylani immediately had her guard up.
The next second, she saw a burly man crawling out from under the bed while cursing, "D*mn it! Which jerk knocked me out? I didn't even get to taste that beautiful lady!"
Leylani quickly glanced around the room and found a vase next to the bed. Without hesitation, she took the vase in her hands. Right after the burly man showed himself from under the bed, she smashed the vase onto his head.
The man was knocked unconscious before he could make another sound.
As soon as the man slumped to the ground, someone kicked open the door from outside.
Then, a group of elegantly-dressed men and women shuffled into the room. When they saw Leylani alone in the room with a man, they immediately accused her of being sexually promiscuous.
Leylani's sworn enemy, Rosie Lindsay, immediately rushed out of the crowd after seeing the scene. "Leylani, how dare you cheat on His Highness with the stable boy! I must teach you a lesson on His Highness' behalf today!"
With that, Rosie immediately whipped her thin lash at Leylani. Several marks appeared right away on Leylani's fair skin.
Others stood aside and watched the scene, not bothering to stop Rosie. Some ladies even cheered for her.
"How could you claim you love the Crown Prince? Is this how you love His Highness? People like you are never worthy enough to become His Highness' wife, let alone move into the Eastern Palace!"
"It's ridiculous that you'd cheat on His Highness for a lowly stable boy. Just how desperate are you? People like you should drown in the river!"
Leylani was speechless about everything that was happening.
She was a medical genius back in her time, and country leaders would come to her asking for treatment.
Everyone in the medical field respected her and feared neglecting her.
Yet, a rude young lady was whipping her the moment she was reborn into ancient times!
She had never felt more aggrieved!
Did these people think she was one to endure all the humiliation and accusations?
With that thought, she grabbed Rosie's lash and glared at Rosie.
Rosie was used to stepping all over Leylani, and she did not expect Leylani to have the guts to grab her whip.
Rosie was startled for a moment, but she got angrier. "B*tch! How dare you fight back? How dare you glare at me like that? How dare you! You are asking for more beating!"
Rosie cursed and wanted to withdraw her lash, but she realized she could not move it.
Leylani appeared indifferent and calm, and there seemed to be enormous strength when she held the whip.
Rosie refused to think a good-for-nothing could win her, so she exerted more strength in tugging her lash.
Then, without saying anything, Leylani let go of the whip.
Due to the inertia and the momentum, Rosie fell hard to the ground. The whip retracted and hit her face, forming a bloody wound on her delicate and elegant face. It looked terrifying.
The young ladies watching were stunned when they saw the wound.
Someone shouted, "How dare you! How dare you hit the daughter of the Minister of Justice? Are you out of your mind?"
Leylani smiled calmly. "When did I hit her? I only returned her whip, but she didn't catch it."
That person was at a loss for words.
Logically speaking, Rosie was to blame for her own consequences.
For a moment, no one in the crowd spoke up for Rosie.
At that moment, the Crown Prince, who had been standing outside all this while and watching the scene unfold, walked inside the room. "Leylani Millington, this is outrageous! How dare you meet your lover in my presence! Arrest her!"
A woman in white, who looked kind and lovely, followed next to the Crown Prince.
Her beauty was out of this world, but Leylani knew how vicious the woman was!
The woman was Leylani's halfsister, Nicole Millington.
Nicole was the typical perfect daughter. She had outstanding medical talents, which made her the favorite daughter in their family. She appeared gentle, sweet, kind, knowledgeable, and lovely. However, she was the one who secretly incited Rosie to pick on Leylani.
Upon seeing her, Leylani got reminded of all the tortures and hardships the body's original owner had gone through. Flames of anger appeared in her eyes.
Right then, the men instructed by the Crown Prince to capture Leylani had already approached her. Leylani quickly dodged and looked at Crown Prince, asking, "Your Highness, do you have evidence to prove your claims that I was with my lover?"
She appeared calm and confident. At the same time, she seemed domineering, making the elegant Crown Prince feel inferior to her.
The Crown Prince frowned.
Everyone in Imperial City knew the eldest daughter of the Millington family was a coward that would endure everything thrown at her, and even more so when faced with the Crown Prince. Yet now, she was questioning him in public.
Moreover, her tone was not polite at all!
What was wrong with her?
