Chapter 89
Lioren gave a cold laugh. “Looks like they’re getting impatient.”
Young Master, you’ve been pretending to be dead for three months now. We can’t stany longer, Soren said, worry
written all over his face.
Her Majesty is holding everything together alone, and she’s under a lot of pressure.
And… we’ve discovered that some nobles on the Core Planet are working together with the elders
The data panel showed: the second-tier Shawn family, including the Howard family and the op-tier noble families ncluding the Sterling family and the Windsor family…
ioren’s eyes narrowed coldly. “Just as I thought.”
He faked his death and left the Frostveil Planet to secretly investigate these conspirators.
The Frostveil Planet was rich in crystal ore mines, making it one of the most important energy sources in the interstellar world.
The elders wanted to push him, the male heir, out and install their own female as the successor, so they could control the nining trade and eventually replace his mother, Queen Neve Voss.
Some factions on the Core Planet were scheming to seize control of the Frostveil Planet by marrying into its ruling family
The Sterling family? Rafe Sterling…”
Lioren remembered that bothersome red-haired guy from his family. “Is it just a coincidence that Rafe keeps showing up round Dora, or is there something else going on…”
Rafe did get attacked, but how badly he was hurt is still questionable,” Soren said, bringing up the intel.
After he stepped down as CEO, the power struggle within the Sterling family got pretty intense
But as far as we can tell, he doesn’t seem to be involved with the elders’ schemes.”
ioren fell silent for a moment, then said, “Alright, keep investigating.”
Soren nodded, then paused. “There are rumors that the batch of erystal ore we lost is somehow tied to the Blackflame Trading Guild.
But with the way Blackflame usually does business, if they really were behind it, nobody would ever hear a word about it
Honestly, this feels more like someone is trying to make them the scapegoat
Lioren’s amber eyes narrowed as he nodded. “Alright, have someone keep an eye on the Blackflame Trading Guilet Ar what about the information on the crystal ore in Zone 32? Is it confirmed?”
Soren nodded. “We’re about eighty percent certain.
And whoever’s behind the crystal ore smuggling definitely wants this to be legit. They could use this mine to make the missing crystal ore from the Frostveil Planet look clean.”
Lioren nodded.

Behind her, Casciari’s face was just as grim. The usual striking beauty of the Peacock Clan looked especially good night

“Has the Shawn family really sunk so low that you’re extorting a girl?
“Mom… Iris gripped Vivienne’s sleeve, unable to stop her tears
Just then, the hovercar hissed to a stop by the curb.
The door slid open, and Dora stepped out, her gorgeous face frosty.
Elmer and Rafe followed right behind her.
“Well, well, what a lively scene,” Dora said, her voice crisp but laced with a biting chill.
“I was wondering who was barking at my door. Turns out it’s Mrs. Shawn and… Cassian.”
Regina’s face darkened. “Dora, mind your manners!”
“Respect?” Dora let out a cold laugh, stepping closer. “Mrs. Shawn, you’re blocking my door, trying to force my sister to either pay up or marry your son, and now you want to talk about respect?”
She walked over to Vivienne, gently squeezed her hand, and gave her a look that said, “Let me handle this.”
Then she turned around, shielding Iris completely behind her.
“Dora…” Iris choked out, her voice trembling.
‘Don’t be afraid,” Dora said, not even turning around. “As long as I’m here, nobody can force you to do anything you don want to.”
Cassian’s gloomy gaze swept over Dora. She was wearing casual home clothes, her hair pulled back in a loose ponytail, but somehow she stood out even more than before.
The kind of confidence and sharpness that radiated from her bones actually caught him off guard for a second.
How did I never realize Dora was this stunning?’ he wondered.
‘Dora, this is a matter between the Shawn family and the Southwell family Cassian said in a low voice. It has nothing to do with you.”
