At the library…
Jacob and Alex sat down opposite each other. The butler served them coffee and left immediately to give them privacy.
Jacob's fists remained tightly clenched. He was concealing his anger. All these years, he knew that few of the elders didn't fully support Shun, and they were on allegiance to bring him down from his seat.
Shun is vocally telling him this. However, he couldn't see a bigger reason to step in to help Shun. He focused on ruling the Oceanic Continent to make it a better place for his daughter and her future family.
However, until today…. He was wrong for not taking it seriously in expanding his territory further than Australia. His friendship with the rest of the lords is great. Many of them are his business partners. Several of them are indebted to him.
But today, it proved that everything he invested in the past fifteen years is not enough. He needs a higher seat to sit in and oversee everyone.
The world Hailee lives in has many secrets and mysterious events that the rest of the world didn't know.
But in this story, I tried hard not to mention them.
(Could only read in My Stubborn Mistress but that novel is still incomplete because it will be 2000 chapters. I'm preparing myself first. XD...)
So, I am giving a glimpse of what it should be if I include everything in this story and didn't delete them.
(Sample: 1-- Jacob and Fred's future predicted by Lady Isabella.)
But no worries, I would only stick to Hailee and Vince's love story! No reincarnation and time travel (as what is my favorite story to write.)
This author tried hard to write a normal love story. Please, forgive me to fail in the end. (cover eyes)
