Chapter 166: In Danger
As Derick was assuring Julia, Leroy walked in. He looked confused.
"Derick, do you know who Gordon Faraday is?" Leroy asked.
"Gordon Faraday? Do you mean, The Gordon Faraday, the personal assistant of Jonathan Erling? Yeah, his name comes up at times," Derick squinted his eyes.
He is one of those "untouchables" who won’t take any accountability for his actions. A lot of times, it was rumored, that the fates of various companies, and at times, nations even, were determined by the Erling family.
Why is he being mentioned...AH!
"Did he come for Rory’s aid?" Derick asked. "Doesn’t he hate gingers? Or at least his boss does..."
Leroy shrugged and took his seat. "I heard some rumors that Aurora’s mother hailed from the Stewart line. And the Hamilton family is the descendant of Mary Stewart," he said and looked at Derick to see if he could find the connection.
"Stewart?" Derick raised his brows. "Don’t tell me... Stewart as in Mary, Queen of Scots? Wow! Rory is a Tudor? She is Royal? Well, she does have the hair of Queen Mary..."
Leroy laughed seeing the perplexed reaction of his son. "She is not the direct descendant and that’s why she does not carry any title. But she does carry the blood of the Tudors, albeit a little."
Derick sat on the couch. He needed to sit down. He is not someone who gets awed with royalty. But he was shocked to learn that Rory is closely related to the Hamilton family. The Hamilton family that was forgotten for decades recently became the center stage amongst the elites as the heir to the fortunes was revealed.
Jerlina Fitzgerald, the heir of the Hamilton fortune and the great-grandchild of Jonathan Erling was introduced to the world just a year ago. Not to mention, her husband Jeremy Fitzgerald, is the "Titan of the Lumber Industry" and also the King of Bonivia, the country that recently was announced a democratic republic.
"How did Rory convince Robert Milroy to help her?" Derick asked. He couldn’t imagine how Rory knew about the Erling and Hamilton connection. It could be Count Charles. He loves her as a daughter, and he must have gotten help on behalf of her.
