Chapter 499
“If you’re willing to accept that, His Highness will treat you well and even give you more benefits.”
Shawn made it seem like this would affect the alliance between the royals of the two countries, but he was actually telling her that Metropolis didn’t have the right to be involved in Stoslo’s affairs.
Did she want to keep the territory for the benefits? Maisie laughed. “Metropolis shouldn’t have interfered, but this isn’t about benefits. Anything that has to do with the de Armas is my business.” Shawn was evidently unhappy because she wasn’t backing down. “If you insist on interfering. His Highness won’t just let this slide. This is my final advice to you.” Shawn stood up, buttoned up his suit, and left, while Maisie calmly said, “I have a past with the de Armas.” He paused but didn’t turn around. Maisie turned to look at him. “I’m going to keep the territory.”
After they left, Maisie asked the housekeeper over and asked, “Who’s this Shawn that the prince sent over?”
The housekeeper answered, “He’s a businessman from Stoslo who was previously promoted by the prince. He has a hand in most of the casinos and entertainment in
spots in Stoslo, and he’s considered a spy that the prince placed among the nobles. The casinos and entertainment spots that he owns are mostly visited by the nobles, so he’s in charge of the business deals between the prince and the powerful people.”
If Shawn had prepared so much money to have a discussion about the territory with her, he probably considered this a business deal. The people of power had dealings with him to get close to the prince.
Of course, since Maisie rejected it, the prince wouldn’t quietly back down.
When Shawn reported back to Roger, the latter’s blue eyes squinted, unclear if he was happy or angry.
A man stood at the side with the sun behind him, the light blurring his silhouette and face. He said in a deep voice, “She has a past with the de Armas?”
Shawn nodded. “Yes.”
“Did you see what she looked like?”,
