Chapter 288: Robert’s Mistake
Alpin Banfi paced the room as he waited for Robert’s call. He’d just received the news that Robert had abandoned the car he had arranged midway and taken the girl away. He could not help but wonder if the man was playing him.
But if he was, then why did he even kidnap the girl. Once again, he called the man and this time the man answered," Robert! Where are you? I am warning you if you double cross me, I will..."
"I have no intention of betraying you, Mr Banfi. I have done things as you asked and taken the little Princess away. You can call them and ask for ransom. Once things have been settled, I’ll arrange for Dora to go back to the palace.
"What do you mean you will arrange? You were supposed to bring her here!", Alpin Banfi roared at the top of his voice! Bring her here to me and then leave like I told you to! Escape the country and you can live freely!"
"You promised to return Dora to Prime Minister Sterling." Robert pointed out quietly.
His statement was followed by a pause, where the other man said nothing. Banfi had lied of course. He had no intention of leaving anyone from the Sterling family a chance to survive and cause trouble for him in the future.
"Of course, I have promised you, Robert. Bring her here!"
"No. Since you’ve promised to not harm her, it makes no difference if I make the arrangements to return her or keep her. Of course, I will cooperate with you and not hand er over until Prime Minister signs the motion to put you on the throne and gets the others to sign as well."
"You ba*****! How dare you play these games with me? Have you forgotten what I did for you? How I saved you from being sold off to pay your father’s debt?"
