The Queens: Scarred Queen Novel

Chapter 556 Chapter 556 Chapter 556 Suddenly. Fermin in felt an inexplicable panic creeping in. He thought if he kept Leonard under his thumb, he would be safe. However, Xander abruptly demanded, "How did Miss Beckham end up in your custody?" Fermin never expected Xander to confront him directly, Flustered, he stammered out a disjointed reply, "I merely took pity on her and offered shelter out of kindness" "Since the case hasn't been settled yet, she remains a suspect's relative.

Having her at Fermin Manor would inevitably give ri rise to suspicion, Xander declared, putting on a show of concern for Fermin, He then turned to Ansel and ordered, "Take a squad to Fermin Manor. Say you're acting under my orders to escort Miss Beckham for a temporary stay at the Xander Maner," Both Leonard and Fermin turned to stare at Xander in astonishment. Leonard beamed with joy, while Fermin went ashon Fermin broke out in a cold sweat and blurted out, "This won't do. Uncle Xander, you aren't even married yet.

How could Miss Beckham possibly stay at the Xander Manor?" "Prince Fermin, you're already married, which makes Fermin Manor even less appropriate for Miss Beckham. The Xander Manor is heavily guarded, which can ensure her safety. This matter is not open for discussion. My decision is final Without giving Fermin a chance to speak, Xander tossed his command token to Ansel. Ansel caught the command token and rushed off again.

A servant approached with hot coffee, and Xander lifted his cup before taking a light, measured sip Seeing Fermin looking utterly bewildered, Xander let out a faint chuckle. "Do try this coffee," he said, "it's delightfully sweet, with a rich, lingering aftertaste" Fermin snapped back to reality, his body body stiff as he reached for the cup. In his haste, he accidentally scalded his tongue and almost knocked the cup over Fermin shot to his feet, barely keeping his composure. There was no way he could stay a moment longer.

Fermin cupped his hands to Xander and said, "I just recalled some pressing business. Please excuse me now." "Off you go," Xander said lightly, giving a casual fick of his hand, "I won't be seeing you out." Fermin's face darkened, his jaw clenched, molars grinding. As he turned to leave, he shot Leonard a menacing glare. Leonard just rolled his eyes and flat-out ignored Fermin Fermin was seething with rage. Not only had he failed to achieve his goal, but he'd also been forced to hand Janice over. 'That bastard Xander, He surely deserves death' Fermin seethed inwardly.

Storming out of the Federal Bureau, Fermin practipally threw himself into his carriage. He said with a terrible expression, "To the palace!" He thought, 'Now that Xander has taken Janice, that bastard Leonard has no leverage left. Who knows if he'll rat me out and expose me? 'If it weren't for Xander, none of this would be such a headache Fermin rubbed his temples in frustration, Seeing Fermin in such a fret, his trusted aide stepped forward and offered a ruthless suggestion. "Your Highness, why not go all the way and strike at Viscountess Athena?

She's Prince Xander's favorite." 172 21:05 Sun, 27 Jul G Chapter 556 Fermin snapped his eyes open, fury blazing in his gaze. "You fool. You know Athena is the apple of Uncle Xander's eye. If I were to lay a hand on her now, wouldn't I just be putting my head on Uncle Xander's chopping block? "Given how much he favors Athena, do you really think he wouldn't have guards protecting her?" The aide, cowed into silence, hesitated before cautiously asking, "Your Highness, are we really just going to let Prince Kander keep investigating?" Fermin seethed with hatred.

He furrowed his brow in thought, then declared with a ruthless glint in his eyes, "I don't want to openly break with him unless absolutely necessary. But if he pushes me too far, then I won't hold back.. "While I can't do anything to Xander, going after people around him will be easy pickings." Fermin motioned his trusted aide closer and whispered instructions. The aide nodded emphatically. Fermin said, "Go, but proceed with discretion" "Yes, Your Highness." Formin's trusted aide wheeled his horse around and galloped off to carry out his orders.
