“Wyatt, we all agreed that it was for your good,” Ann defended pointing out that they were using the fraud cover to protect the boy when in reality it was just that. They were also using it to keep the Hyenas eyeing what their guessing. 

“Who gave you permission to decide that for me? One day I woke up and became the most hated fraudster in the world. I looked past that, but what did you guys do? Not only did you lose the only known source of Silver Milk in the entire world but you guys could not protect me like you promised to. 

I had to gamble with a devil to save my ass. I looked past that and still decided to help you guys and in return you guys imprisoned me. Just because the walls of the guest palace are fancier and cleaner than the walls of the prison doesn’t change the fact that I am your prisoner. 

And now this gentleman over here says that the Southern Royal family is a reliable partner, considering what I going through concerning our previous partnership, I have every right to laugh at those words. Do you understand why? 

If not, let me help you, the Southern royal family has been the shittest partner I have ever had. You guys not only did not deliver on your promise but you also lost the only known source of sliver milk in the world and then you guys drag me to the southern capital against my will and cage me.

Now that I have another business venture, you guys snoop in like vultures, what is to say that you guys will do anything different this time around? 

Fuck! Where is Anna? I miss her,” If Anna were here I would not have to go through all this. 

Unlike Ann who introduced Leo to me despite knowing his intentions, Anna would never put me on the spot like this. She would have immediately rejected Leo’s proposal, forget introducing him to me. 

“…” Leo stared at the boy dumbfoundedly, as Loenzo’s junior brother he thought he knew the ins and outs about the Silver milk power project but listening to the boy he learned there was more to it. 

As for Ann, she was devastated hearing the boy say he misses Anna with her right by his side. How was she any less than Anna? They were twins for goodness sake she had everything Anna had and more. Unlike Anna, she has never been with a man. With her seal still there, shouldn’t her value be more than Anna whose seal was opened long ago? 

Ann was frustrated not understanding what the boy wanted. He had feelings for his manager who was a prude just like her. In a way she was the combination of the best of both Susan and Anna, making her the perfect girl for him so shouldn’t the boy fall head over heels for her? But why wasn’t he? What was she missing? 

Ann despite claiming to be smarter than Anna, could not see what Susan and Anna had but she did not. It was so obvious, Susan and Anna loved the boy. Ten out of ten times they both would sacrifice everything including their lives for the boy without hesitation. However, Ann, ten out of ten times would choose the Southern Royal family over the boy. 

Not to mention she only wanted the boy because Anna loved him and knew how serious Anna was about the boy. Anna might have had a messy past with many men but Ann knew none of them would amount to what the boy meant in Anna’s heart, mind, body, and soul. 

It was because Anna felt about the boy so strongly, that Ann who has never shown interest in Anna’s relationships was now showing strong interest in Anna and the boy’s relationship. Knowing that the boy was the one for Anna. 

“Kid, I said what I wanted to say. Take your time and consider it, I know you will make a sound decision,” Saying that Leo prepared to leave because he did not know half of what was going on between the boy and the Southern royal family. The boy seems to both resent and care for the Southern royal family. 

He knows that the boy was staying in the Southern royal palace’s guest palace No. 1 but he thought that was only because the boy had discovered the silver milk powder. But now it seems there was more to it. He needs more information before he has any further negotiations with the boy. 

Seeing Leo take his leave, Ann sighed thinking that she should have warned Leo about the tension between the boy and the Southern royal family. Then she heard the boy make an unusual offer to Agatha, “Agatha you said you wanted to make money right?” 

“Yes, I do. Tell me what I need to do, Boss?” Agatha had long since wanted to discuss the VR-Cocoon card and VR-City with the boy but then listening to his conversation with Leo Lorn she decided against it. But hearing the boy bring it up she was overwhelmed with joy. Her pupils almost turned into dollar signs. She did feel Ann staring daggers at her but Agatha did not mind because she need this opportunity more than the Southern royal family did. 

Before the boy could respond, Ann immediately spoke up, “Wyatt, don’t take any hasty decisions yet. I know the Royal family has let you down these past few days but give me some time, I will think of something to make it up to you. I promise. So, please don’t do anything hasty that both of us will end up regretting.” 

I stared at Ann and was about to tell her off but the auction house director knocked on the door of the VIP box with a sullied face, “Your Highness, may I come in.” 

“Tell me you found that Chris Ainsworth,” Ann did not bother with formalities and small talk but directly asked if they had found Chris Ainsworth.
