Mated To My Best Friend's Lycan Alpha Brothers novel Chapter 566

Chapter 566: A Desperate Attempt To Kill

(Author’s POV)

"Stephens, treating his majesty so casually like a literal child, hahhh? You do know, alcohol doesn’t affect us, vampires, right?" Vinicio remarked, his tone friendly. "Do you?"

"Elder Cardamone, with all due respect, too much alcohol consumption isn’t good for either humans or vampires. One should drink in moderation. You~ .... should drink less as well," Fabian advised calmly with a polite smile.

"Alright, alright. I relent," Jacob said. "No more alcohol today."

Fabian wasn’t satisfied. Though Jacob wasn’t sitting directly under the sunlight, the effects of a solstice noon could be seen on his exposed skin. It has turned a tad bit red. He was afraid that it might affect Jacob’s health.

"Chairman, for now, you should return to your chambers and rest," Fabian said.

Before Jacob could reply, Sylvia uttered, "Fabian, I do understand you are very concerned, but it wouldn’t look nice if his majesty leaves the gathering all of a sudden."

"Fabian, Elder Silver is right on this," Jacob sided with Sylvia. If he left so early, there would be gossip amongst clan leaders, and there were too many backstabbers who would take advantage of it.

"For me, your well-being and safety is more important than keeping up appearances, Grandpa," Fabian said honestly.

Hearing Fabian call him grandpa touched a chord inside Jacob’s heart. Fabian always addressed him as Chairman Larson or Mr. Larson, especially in front of others.

Overcome with emotions, he got up from his seat and said, patting Fabian’s shoulder, "Alright, I will do as you say."

Turning towards Chris, he instructed, "Secretary Shadow, I~ ..." he looked at Fabian and continued, "Need to rest now. You take care of the gathering here," A broad smile made its way to his lips.

"Master, but~ ..." Chris muttered, but Jacob cut him off, "Just do as I say," his tone stern.

Biting his lips, Chris relented. He bowed his head and answered, "As you command, master." His hands were clenched on either side. If Fabian left the gathering with Jacob, his well made plan would be completely ruined.

’The foolproof plan to make Fabian drink poisonous wine, which I had carefully concocted, has already gone down the drain. There is no way I am going to let this mutt leave this place alive. Fabian Stephens, you have to die today, no matter what." Chris glared at Fabian’s back with clenched jaw. ’I need to think of something fast,’ his mind raced. Jacob and Fabian had already descended the stairs and were on their way to the mansion. Time was running out, and he was at his wits’ end.
