Chapter 2903 Toby Clarke pretended he did not see the distant look on the butler’s face and burst out laughing.
“Come! Let’s head inside. The fourth princess must’ve been waiting for us.”
Toby then took a step forward.
Queenie York and Leslie Clarke looked at each other before following him inside.
The group of people were taken to the side hall before the silver-haired butler poured some Red Tea for them.
“Please , make yourselves at home. Other than the side hall, please don’t go anywhere else.
“The fourth princess is still jet-lagged. You’ll have to wait for a moment.”
The butler’s tone was extremely polite, and his actions were very courteous, but Toby’s face became a little colder after hearing
those words.
No matter what, he was still Hong Kong’s first-in command. Even the ambassador of the American Embassy would have to visit
him in his place.
After deciding to put aside his pride to visit the fourth princess, the outcast dared to keep him waiting like this?
Was she still treating him as a mere servant of The Empire?
Without a second thought , Toby’s heart was filled with unbridled rage.
But after thinking about the purpose of this visit, he took a deep breath to calm himself before putting on a fake smile.
He came here to negotiate.
If not, it would be disastrous if a war between wealthy families were to break in an international metropolis like Hong Kong. If the
problem weren’t resolved correctly, the citizens of Country H would be in deep trouble.
That was why Toby tried his best to make peace. He wanted to prevent all the chaos from happening.
He would lose some respect in the process, but why would that matter for someone like him?
A man of ambition would have no problems yielding when need be.
Toby took a deep breath and calmly answered, “Right. I’ll wait for her here then. Hopefully , she doesn’t make us wait for too
long.”
The silver -haired butler showed a playful smirk before stepping back to the corner of the hall. He calmly looked
at the group without any intention to report their arrival. Toby pretended he saw nothing before casually looking at the paintings
on the walls. Time had passed bit by bit.
Right when Toby’s patience was about to run out, frantic footsteps could be heard from the entrance. Soon after, a dozen people
came into the hall. Those people were all wearing knight uniforms, while the man leading the group wore casual clothing with a
cold expression.
He was none other than the baron of The Empire, the deputy commander of the Knights Templar, Jason Leo himself.
After entering the side hall, Jason calmly glanced at Queenie while showing a faint smile.
“What’s going on here, Butler?
“Are they here to plead guilty as well?
“Make them kneel outside. We’ll talk about it after three days.”
Toby and the others immediately understood what happened to those people who were kneeling outside.
Queenie then glared at Jason.
How could she not recognize her nominal fiance?
But since Jason gave the impression that he did not know her, she did not bother mentioning anything either. She quietly sat still
while watching the show unfold...
“Young Master Leo, this here is Hong Kong’s first-in command, Governor Toby Clarke,” said the butler briefly.
“He’s an enemy to the fourth princess.”
“Oh. So you’re him. You’re from one of the three legendary Slave Families.”
Jason expressed his realization before calmly walking toward Toby.
“I heard you started clinging to Country H’s royal court after Hong Kong’s release.
“You sold out your old masters, yet you still got yourself a position in the government. You’re pretty impressive, Toby.”
