The Prince Who Was Raised in Hell novel Chapter 42

It was obvious that William did not believe Chris.

He suspected that Chris was lying to take bribes.

After all, William would usually not care about the Oceans Chamber of Commerce’s dealings as Alex Feldman would be handling them.

However, today’s situation was different.

Maisie was beside William!

Chris might not be aware, but William knew well that Maisie’s status was higher than Alex and his!

If Chris took a bribe and Maisie knew about it, the problem would be colossal.

The consequences would be unbearable for both Alex and William!

Chris also immediately noticed something was wrong with William’s tone, and he quickly lowered his head, explaining, “That’s not it.

I…”

He needed to make it clear.

After all, he did nothing wrong.

“Let me take a look at them!” Nonetheless, William did not give Chris a chance to explain himself.

Then, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the air.

In an instant, the three papers on the table fluttered.

It was as if they were pulled along by some sort of force and flew toward William.

William swept his glance across the three inscriptions and did not find any issue.

But, he still did not believe Chris due to prejudice.

Thus, he took one of the inscriptions and took a closer look.

After a while, William frowned.

Chris quietly watched William’s expression.

Initially, he was pretty confident.

After all, Chris was responsible for the inscription booth for almost 20 years.

Although he was not an inscription apprentice, he could still identify the authenticity of an inscription.

However, when he saw William frowning, Chris’s heart was at his throat.

Then, Chris watched as William took another piece of paper and kept looking back and forth at his face and the paper.

This time, Chris felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest.

“Master William… Could it be…” Chris said raspily.

He lost his confidence as he felt his blood froze and his limbs cold.

Before Chris could finish his sentence, William raised his hand to stop Chris.

Then, William looked at Maisie, and his tone became respectful again.

“Lady Maisie, please take a look at these three weight inscriptions.”

“Uncle William, what’s wrong?” Maisie smiled faintly.

Her voice was just as beautiful as her appearance.

It sounded refreshing and put anyone in a good mood.

“I can’t explain, so I need you to check on them,” William replied with an awkward smile.

William’s strange behavior made Chris suspicious.

It seemed that there was a problem with the inscriptions, but they were not fake inscriptions either.

This instantly piqued Chris’s curiosity.

What did he miss?

Soon, Maisie took over the three inscriptions.

After looking through them, she let out a surprise sound.

There was also a look of shock in her eyes.

As if William expected this reaction, his awkward smile became more prominent.

Maisie pondered for a moment and reached out to tap on one of the papers with her finger.
