Chapter 327: Call From an Old Friend
"As you said, your granddaughter started to investigate. I’ve already sent her the details. We don’t owe each other anymore, right?"
"What makes you think it was my granddaughter?" Jerome’s voice went cold as he couldn’t bear the voice from the other end.
"Come on now, Jerome. Don’t be cold towards me. I’ve already explained I didn’t know he was targeting YOUR granddaughter. And I tried to be helpful and put the fear of God in that Prince’s heart. He won’t dare to be disrespectful to anyone ever again." Arnold Belfauger chuckled from the other end.
"I don’t want you or anyone related to you to even think about my granddaughter and those of whom she loves. I might be gracious considering my history with you, but the other one won’t be. Mind that." Jerome took a sip of the cranberry juice he was supposed to drink and cringed. This juice still wasn’t as cringe as Arnold.
Of course he didn’t care for what happened with Edward as long as he was alive. His death would create unnecessary mess which should then be cleared by him too.
"Ah, the other one; Arthur - The Bear King! You are very lucky to be surrounded by very talented people who have the utmost loyalty to you. Not to mention your granddaughter Talia is very revered in the open as ’Princess Royal’ and in the dark web as ’The Queen’. My people were frightened realising it was she who was trying to hack us and wanted to retreat. You must be-"
"Stop spouting nonsense, Belfauger. I told you! You cannot even think about my MaryAnn much less say her name. And loyalty should be earned which you never can do. Let’s forget we had contact once more and return to where we were before." Jerome wanted to end the call.
He wanted to use Belfauger to teach a lesson to King Titus that he won’t be always loyal to the crown. He also wanted to punish Belfauger for daring to help attack his granddaughter. That’s why he touched his stocks. This guy contacted him to back off and so he asked him to ’keep’ Prince Edward with him until he is contacted. And without even contacting him, he released that Prince as his granddaughter tried to infiltrate his computers?
What a coward!
"Don’t end the call, Jerome... Please, I’m bored."
"Is he really dead? Because if I ever find out otherwise-"
