Chapter 136: Equal partners? No!
"You sure that they are in cahoots and there is no other reason?" Vernon asked to make sure.
That was the conclusion he got after thinking about the problem as well. But he felt he could be missing something. That was why he wanted to know Helena’s perspective to see if there were any other answers to this problem.
Helena shook her head, "They are definitely in cahoots, but..."
"But?" Vernon looked at her with interest.
"But they are not exactly partners. They aren’t on equal footing in this so-called partnership." Helena declared without any doubt.
"Oh? Why do you say that?" Vernon chuckled and asked. He could already guess what she was thinking, and he could also hear her thoughts, but he wanted to hear her say it.
He wanted Helena to share all her thoughts with him without hiding anything. Maybe that could be the first step to change their relationship from ending the way it ended in their previous life.
Helena did not think much about his thoughts and spoke seriously, "Because the one who got kidnapped wasn’t Sister Jemma. But Ethan did not know that. He was foolishly still thinking that the creepy prince had kidnapped Sister Jemma and started throwing around words and accusations as he wished at us."
Vernon blinked his eyes. He was really amused at how she would scold the Prince as creepy at every chance she got. He wanted to laugh, but the matter at hand was serious, and he shouldn’t do that.
"The Creepy Prince told Ethan that he would kidnap Sister Jemma. There, the collaboration ended. When the Creepy prince failed to abduct Sister Jemma and changed his target to her sister instead, he did not find the need to inform this matter to Ethan at all. If their so-called partnership was as special as Ethan had thought, then the Prince wouldn’t constrain such an important piece of update in their plan.
"So, either Ethan’s part in the plan wasn’t important at all, or whatever he had to do was done before the plan ever started. Since his usefulness was ended, the creepy prince threw Ethan into the trash like he was. I should say, the creepy Prince is a little smart in his own way."
Vernon couldn’t help but laugh this time. Even Helena chuckled along with him.
