Chapter 1629 Power Struggle
“What do we do now, Your Majesty?” Morrison asked quietly.
Aaron held his breath on the other side of the door and leaned closer.
“How dare they engage in corruption!” came Dylan’s livid outburst from within the study. “You are to gather evidence on them immediately, and we will nab them all the first chance we get.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” Morrison replied. “Consider it done.”
Aaron heard the footsteps from outside the door and hid at once, departing stealthily after Morrison left.
Corruption? Who did he mean? Could it be one of Grandma’s men?
Aaron narrowed his eyes in contempt for their behavior. At the thought of what his father and Arielle did to him, however, he headed toward his grandmother’s quarters with a grim smile.
“Grandma,” Aaron greeted Nancy softly. She was seated at her desk, dealing with some official business, when Monisha waved him in.
She was delighted by his arrival.
It made her especially happy and relieved that Aaron had renounced his father to join his grandmother’s cause.
“What are you doing here? Don’t you have class today?” the woman asked, smiling so broadly that her eyes were slits.
Aaron did not know how to feel about how little his grandmother had smiled at him in the past compared to how she was acting now.
He inclined his head at her question. “I have no classes today. Father spoke to me earlier, and I came to you after leaving him.”
Nancy’s piercing gaze fell upon him at the news. “What did your father want with you?”
Her voice carried a sliver of threat, but Aaron was no longer afraid of her. He felt like a prize that the two of them were fighting over.
