Chapter 273: Negotiation

Lucy's POV:

I hadn't eaten anything the whole day, so my stomach could only release some gastric fluid when I
vomited.

Richard reacted quick, but not quick enough.

The stinky liquid sprayed on his suit, making him furious on the spot.

He hurriedly took off his coat and threw it away while cursing me.

"What have you done? You really fucking puke up in front of me? You are so disgusting, you ugly
disfigured bitch!"

He was making so much noise, so I covered my ears with my hands.But I could still hear his voice.

"Do you really think you're pure and innocent? You're a slut! You're as disgusting as that bastard in
your belly."

I wasn't in the mood to argue with him, but he was too aggressive.So my anger also flared up.

I stood up still naked and sneered at him, "So what if I vomited at you? You are more disgusting than
me.Just being in the same room with you is so unbearable."

Richard raised his hand and was about to slap me.

"Do you really think I won't dare kill you?"

I leaned my face closer to him and said, "Come on, slap me here.You'd better slap my face until it
swells so that the lycan king will know how you treat me."



"You...You're such a shameless bitch!"

No slap fell on my face.

Richard was furious, but he couldn't dare hit me as long as I used the lycan king as my shield.

I continued to provoke him.

"Since I dare to come back, it means that I'm not afraid of death.If you want to kill me, just do
it.Anyway, I have recorded a video confessing everything you did."

Richard was so angry that his eyes widened, and his hands trembled.

He pointed at me and said, "You fucking..."

"Are you mad now? Don't worry.I'll make you even angrier."

I pursed my lips, smiled, and walked over to him.I straightened his collar and whispered in his ear, "I've
collected a lot of evidence about how you set up Rufus.Remember, I was by your side during those
times.I've handed over those evidence to one of my friends in the imperial capital.

If something happens to me, my friend will immediately give those evidence to the lycan king.I think he
will be very interested in them.

Richard looked shocked and angry at the same time.

He pushed me away and said, "I don't believe you.You don't have any friends in the imperial
capital.You are just bluffing, you liar!"

I clicked my tongue and looked at him mockingly.



"Then where do you think Sylvia got that letter? Remember, people who are blindly confident are
doomed to fail.

Do you really think your plans are flawless?"

"So, it was you who ruined my plans!"

Richard directly grabbed my neck and said coldly, "Believe it or not, I will kill you."

He was totally irritated by me.

The killing intent in his eyes at this moment made my hair stand on end.

But I did my best to suppress my fear.I pretended to act normal and even smiled at him casually.

"I don't believe you.If so, you should have killed me when you saw me just now.But I'm still
alive.Especially now that the king knows that I'm pregnant, you just can't touch me, Richard."

Richard didn't say a word, and his grip on my neck loosened a bit.

"Why don't we just work together? After all, you need this baby in my belly, right?" I said in a soft tone
of voice.

From what the lycan king had said earlier, I could tell that he cared about the child so much.

Richard must know something and want to grab this opportunity to take a chance.

Richard's POV:

"What do you really want?" I asked Lucy coldly as I let go of her neck.



"Very simple.We both get what we respectively want.I'll pretend to be your mate and give birth to this
child.In exchange, you will keep Kyle alive."

As she spoke, Lucy touched her neck and returned to her indifferent look.

I snorted coldly, "How sure are you that I need your child?"

"Having a child with royal blood will do no harm but only good to someone like you who wants the
throne, right?"

Lucy smiled slightly, and the disfigured half of her face twitched with difficulty.

She looked more terrifying.

I didn't expect her to be too smart to guess what I wanted.

But since she took the initiative to propose cooperation, we could get what we respectively wanted just
as she said.

Her request to keep Kyle alive was simple.

But it would all depend on her sincerity.

"And one more thing.You are not allowed to ever touch me again from now on,"

Lucy added coldly.

"Don't worry.I'm not interested in an ugly bitch at all."I looked at her disgustedly.

Did she really think I wanted to have sex with her? She was just a rotten she-wolf who had had sex
with another man.



And her arrogant attitude annoyed me to the core.

But anyway, it didn't matter.

What was more important was the throne.

As long as I could take over the throne, I didn't mind tolerating her for a while.

At worst, I could kill her after her child was born.

After leaving Lucy, I called Diego.

"I want you to find out who is secretly helping Lucy in the imperial capital.Whoever they are, kill them."

"Yes, Prince Richard."
