"No!" Lucas Walker put down his bowl, "Until I figure out whether this whole thing is true or false, Fifteen must stay."
He doesn't trust Fifteen, and certainly doesn't believe what Fifteen says.
His refusal to let Fifteen help doesn't mean he wants to let her go.
Fifteen once stole his daughter, who can guarantee that what she is saying is true?
Until the truth is uncovered, Lucas Walker will absolutely not let her leave.
Ivana Bennett smiled and looked at Fifteen, "Then... could we kindly ask Miss Fifteen to stay a few days in the Royal Palace?"
Fifteen understood Lucas Walker's distrust of her and also understood Ivana Bennett's intentions.
Ivana Bennett knew full well that Lucas Walker wouldn't let her leave, so she purposely kept her under the guise of asking for help, already showing considerable respect.
Fifteen knew that she should be content.
Moreover, this matter indeed has some connection with her; her goal this time is to help clarify the matter.
