At Hong Kong‘s Maria Hospital.
Lexie York, who got here as quickly as she could, gritted her teeth while patiently waiting for Vince York to be done with his operation.
“Damnit! That damn half-blood dares to go against Vince?!
“I‘ll kill her!
“I‘ll kill her!!!”
Lexie thought Vince would get his way and fool the fourth princess, killing Jason Leo in the process.
But she did not expect that the so–called collaboration was just a death trap set up by the enemy.
A few dozen of Vince’s trusted subordinates were already dead. Even Vince was on death‘s door himself.
If it were not for the Five Virtues Temple, everything Vince had worked for would collapse instantly.
Other than a sense of dread, Lexie was filled with immense fear.
“Those b*stards, Harvey York and Queenie York… If it weren‘t for them using someone else to do their dirty work, the fourth princess wouldn‘t have risked it either!
“Those b*stards need to die!
“Come! Get me my troops! I want Harvey to pay with his blood!”
While Lexie was giving out her command…
The door of the operating room opened.
“Don‘t be reckless, Auntie. I‘m fine.”
Vince, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed by a few of his subordinates.
“We can‘t do anything to Harvey or Queenie at this point,” said Vince, forcing out a smile.
“We both know that they‘re the ones behind all this…
“But, we don‘t have any proof.
“Don‘t forget. Harvey‘s now Lord York‘s most important guest, and Queenie is the executive CEO of the Loxus Consortium.
“Both are core people of the Yorks of Hong Kong. Their identities are immense.
“If we go at them without any solid proof, we‘ll end up like Julian York and get our bones broken.”
Vince barely escaped death, but the anesthetics he had gotten during his operation completely cleared his head.
At the same time, a sullen look was showing on his face.
“What do you mean we have no proof?!”
Lexie was showing a cold expression while gritting her teeth.
“That b*stard, Harvey, was the one who told Jason to kill you so he could survive in Mordu Casino–Palace!
“You‘re telling me that this isn’t enough to be the proof?!
“The fourth princess called to work together with you, but what happened? It‘s all just a setup to kill you off!
“These two b*stards almost got you killed! Even if my position as the lady of Dragon Palace gets robbed from me, I‘ll chase them till the ends of the earth!”
Vince weakly shook his head.
“Now‘s not a good time to tell you this, but I‘m going to tell you anyway…
“We need patience to achieve great things…
“Many people know about what happened in Mordu Casino Palace, but we don‘t have any footage of what happened at that time. Witnesses there have no use for us.
“If Harvey just denies everything he said, what can we even do? We‘ll get nowhere with this!
“He could even say that he was just kidding with Jason and that he was the one who bought the joke. We can‘t do anything about that either…
“As for what happened before, the fourth princess‘ did ask to work with us. She even told us the entire place and asked to see us at the villa. Maybe she‘s there waiting for us right now.
“That‘s why. Even if we know now that it‘s all just a setup, we won’t be able to find any proof if we take the initiative.
“If we cause more trouble right now, we‘ll only be forced further
back.
“This is humiliating enough for me. Let‘s just not make a bigger mess than it already is…”
