Chapter 39: Madame Elene’s plot.
Madame Elene looked at Sigrid with wide disbelieving eyes, she could not believe what she was hearing.
"I find your words exceedingly hard to believe, crown princess. Surely, you do not mean to rob me of a business that I have worked hard tirelessly to build on my own!"
Sigrid huffed to herself, feeling a little irritated but it was not as if she did not expect the resistance, even if it was her, she would not have laid down casually and handed over a business she had built with two hands.
It was why she had collected all that blackmail material on the Latham’s before she died on earth, she had been unwilling to hand over the law firm whose success was built on her sweat.
"It is not just through hard work that you built this business Elene, it was through criminal means, this brothel may be legal but it is the center of a criminal enterprise. By law, I am obligated to hand you over to the law enforcement bureau for punishment which is execution." She spread her arms out, "But I am not going to do that, instead I am willing to partner up with you to keep this fine establishment going, even after you are dead, one of your children will inherit it. You get to keep your life and have a legacy, isn’t that great?"
Madame Elene’s upper lip trembled, she wanted to hurl insults at Sigrid but she could see Brolin through the side of her right eyes, he had a hand on his sword, ready to put her down.
What legacy? what partnership? Obviously the crown princess was here for a hostile take over.
Her hand trailed up to her hair, touching her bun as she considered her options.
"If you are thinking of using those poisoned needles in that ugly wooden hair pin then I can assure you that the only victim of the poison will be you." Sigrid warned in a lazy voice.
