“Don‘t you know you‘re not supposed to get close to The Empire’s royal family?!
“You can go for all the women with the best lineage that you want…
“But this one‘s just a half–blood! You have nothing to gain out of her!
“Maybe she‘s trying to get all the authority and power you hold!
“How can you be this stupid, Vince York?! Why would you sleep with a woman like that…?
“With your identity, you can have any woman you want… But why her of all people?
“The worst part is that she‘s as shameless as the people from The Empire!
“She‘s exposing your affair to the public!
“How could she?!
“How dare she?!
“Now, everyone thinks you‘re just some scumbag who casts women aside!
“It wouldn‘t do too much if this were to spread in the upper social circle, but if Grandma York catches wind about this…”
Lexie York kept running her mouth as she was showing an
utterly horrible expression. Her usual calm countenance was already gone.
Only a woman could tell how damaging the incident would be to Vince.
Not just in strength alone, Vince‘s reputation was about to be tarnished entirely in mere seconds!
At such a crucial time too!
The fourth princess dealt a deadly blow, almost ruining Vince‘s entire future!
“Don‘t get mad, Auntie! I never touched this woman! I swear!” exclaimed Vince with a horrible look on his face.
He tried to remember what happened years prior. He had slept with countless women but did not seem to recall ever laying a finger on the fourth princess.
“Is it true?”
Lexie froze.
“But if that‘s the case, why would she even accuse you of doing that?”
Vince kept quiet for a moment before he replied, “It must be because of me portraying that I‘m a kind grandson. Harvey York and Queenie York must‘ve taken action.
“They‘re the masterminds who got the fourth princess to do this. They want me to be hated by the people and force me into a corner.”
Lexie frowned.
“Do they really have this much power to make the fourth princess do something like this?”
“They do.”
Vince took a deep breath.
“Don’t forget. Jason Leo‘s still with them.
“If they threaten the fourth princess with his life, this woman can and will do literally anything.
“The incident at the abandoned villa proves that.”
Vince nodded lightly. Judging from this perspective, the perpetrator was as clear as day.
The only troublesome thing was that he could not find any evidence to prove such a thing.
“Right. Now‘s not the time to blame anyone. We need to deal with the problem at hand!”
Vince forced himself to calm down before pressing the button on the table.
His subordinates came into the room soon after.
…
Matthew Flynn, Quinton York, Kaitlyn Parson, and the others were there…
Vince showed a faint smile after seeing his trusted subordinates.
“I’ll cut to the chase. You must‘ve known about what‘s going on
outside.
“The fourth princess‘ accusations have completely ruined our well–laid plans.
“Any ideas as to how we deal with the situation?”
