Chapter 228

She asked in confusion, “What gossip?”

“The U.S. royal family has a rule: the crown prince must take over the entire royal family before he turns forty. Yet Hans is over fifty and still just a marginal figure. Some people have delved deep into this issue,”

Marcus explained, then paused. Sophie immediately recalled a news article from a few years ago.

“I remember there were speculations that the current King Hans I had an illegitimate child, which is why he hasn’t allowed Hans to ascend the throne. But after some time, the news was suppressed.”

Sophie’s eyes widened in shock, “Could this be true?”

Marcus nodded. “Now, guess who this illegitimate child is.”

In a flash of realization, Sophie immediately pictured a mixed–race face in her mind.

When she remembered what Julian had said about asking Marcus for help in seizing power, Sophie instantly understood everything.

“Julian is the illegitimate child?”

“Exactly.”

Marcus patiently explained, “I had someone investigate Julian’s background. On the surface, he’s the head of the International Art Expo, but in

reality, he’s the royal family’s abandoned illegitimate son.”

“When Hans I was young, he came to Norsfend and met Julian’s mother, with whom he had a child.”

“Hans I couldn’t bear to let them live in exile, so when he returned to Falyon, he brought them both back. But that’s when they became a thorn in the side of some people.”

“Hans’s mother, Hans I’s wife, secretly assassinated Julian’s mother. While Hans I was grieving the loss of his love, she took advantage of the chaos and threw Julian back out of the royal family.”

“A few years ago, Hans I found Julian, and Julian learned of his true identity. Hans I wanted Julian to inherit the throne, but due to the influence

of Hans’s mother’s family, he had to secretly accumulate power for Julian.”

Sophie suddenly realized, “So, Hans must have known that Julian was seeking your help, which is why he invited you–he’s offering you an olive branch.”

As Sophie finished speaking, the car stopped.

Marcus was the first to get out and motioned for Sophie to follow.

“Whether it’s an olive branch or a bomb, we’ll have to go inside to find out.”

“Sophie, will you walk this path with me?”

Sophie placed her hand in his large one. “You only just remembered to ask me when we got to the door. Is it too late?”

Although she said this, there was no reproach in her voice.

From Marcus‘ explanation earlier, Sophie was now more certain that coming here was the right choice.

Chapter 228

When she said she wanted to be Marcus‘ armor, to stand by his side, it was never just empty words!

Sophie linked her arm with Marcus‘, and they entered St. Petersburg together.

As soon as they entered the hall, the various eyes in the room turned toward them.

Today, not only did Hans invite Marcus, but he had also invited half of Falyon capitalists and businessmen who cooperated with the royal family.

When those capitalists saw Marcus, their fearful expressions hid a hint of reluctance.

Some Chinese businessmen, however, looked at him with admiration.

They all knew about Marcus being ousted from Morgan Group. They had thought he would remain silent for a long time, but they never

expected him to make such a grand comeback in Falyon

Many of them had never interacted with Marcus before, but at this moment, as fellow Chinese, they felt proud to see such a hero rising from the

Chinese business circle!

Sophie silently observed the subtle expressions on these people’s faces, a mischievous glint in her gentle eyes.

“Mr. Morgan is here!”

A servant’s loud voice echoed through the hall, and everyone turned to look at the entrance.

Gideon entered, dressed in a silver–gray suit, with a man in a wine–red suit following him closely.

It was obvious that both of them had dressed carefully for the occasion. Standing there, they certainly gave off the vibe of a domineering CEO

and his loyal subordinate.

The man in the wine–red suit was the youngest son of the Hayes family from Riverland. He had been lazy since childhood, and the Hayes family

sent him abroad before he came of age.

After becoming an adult, Keith Hayes returned to the Hayes family with a proposal, hoping to start an entertainment company and live his idol

dream.

His father, thinking he had changed, invested nearly 30 million in the business, but within two months, the entire amount was wasted.

Later, He’s father discovered that Keith hadn’t started any company, but instead had become infatuated with a small streamer, spending all the 30 million on gifts for her!

Angry, his father immediately sent him abroad again. This caused a huge uproar in Riverland’s circles, and everyone who saw Keith abroad

would avoid him.

When did Gideon get involved with him?

If this news reached old Mr. Morgan, he’d probably be furious enough to spit blood!

“Marcus, what are you doing here?”

Keith, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, swaggered over to Marcus.

“Why do you show up everywhere? You just caused chaos in Falyon capital market, aren’t you worried about getting beaten up standing here?”

Marcus glanced up, his narrow eyes sweeping over Keith, making Keith instantly feel a chill down his spine.

Everyone around them looked over, some of them with a mocking, theater–like expression.
