“She probably does,” William answered in a grim tone. “It was just last night that Danrique broke up
with her, and this morning, he has already announced his engagement to Hazel. Everything is
happening too fast!”
“Really?” Robin was filled with doubt. “I thought Mr. Lindberg has deep feelings for Ms. Felch. He did so
much for her previously, so why would he break up with her all of a sudden? Besides, if he really likes
Hazel, they would have already gotten together from the very beginning. Why did he only agree to it
now? Considering his character, is his hand being forced by the circumstances? What’s really going
on?”
“I’m afraid he's trying to corner me.” William's brows furrowed. “It's obvious to him that I'm using his
name to achieve my goals. That's why he has struck back at me this way. To be honest, I can't deny
how ruthless his methods are!”
“I don't think he would go that far.” Robin still found it unbelievable. “If Danrique noticed something, he
could've used some other way to stop us. There's no need to sacrifice his relationship with Ms. Reich,
and to even marry Hazel? He doesn't strike me as someone whose decisions are driven by his
emotions.”
“I still don't know what he has hidden up his sleeve, but it's certainly directed at me.” William's brows
were still tightly knitted. “I have underestimated his decisiveness by assuming that I could strike before
he realized it. I was hoping to just apologize once the matter was resolved. It never crossed my mind NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
that he was one step ahead of me—he was already investigating me when Francesca was in
Danontand and had formulated his countermeasures. And now, his plan has taken me by surprise.”
“Danrique is such a ruthless man,” Robin commented with a frown. “All we did was just borrow his
influence, nothing more, but he counterattacks as if he's going to kill us!”
“He wouldn't be Danrique if he wasn't ruthless.” William let out a sigh.
“Besides, I was the one who offended him first, so I can't complain about him striking back at me.”
“What should we do now?” Robin looked at him anxiously. “After putting in so much effort and with
victory within our grasp, we can't just give up now, can we?”
“I'm working on it,” William responded with a grave expression.
“Do you remember what I told you in the morning?”
“I do.” Robin nodded repeatedly. “Don't worry. I know what to say. As for Ms. Felch—”
Before Robin could finish, a frantic knock was heard at the door. “Your Highness, Your Highness, Mr.
Faulkner is here.”
Stunned by the news, Robin gave William a nervous look. “Why is Silas here now?”
“His Majesty has probably sent him after reading the news.” William's expression changed. “Danrique's
move is a truly decisive one. Just when we were cruising toward victory, his sudden maneuver derailed
our plan.”
“Exactly...” Robin was filled with anxiety. “According to the original plan, His Majesty is due to visit our
castle to investigate the water source and arrest the ones responsible.
“Are you sure?” Robin's eyes widened in disbelief. “If that's true, wouldn't our plan be—”
“There wouldn't be much of a plan left,” William interrupted him. “I should be counting my blessings if
he didn't charge me with lying and scheming.” Coոtent beloոgs to Draмąnоvеls.cоm
“What should we do now?” Robin was stricken by panic.
