Chapter 175 - Angry Liam
"Why will there be any clue in the safe? I am sure my mother never visited it for once," she replied as she slowly sat on the bed. Here she was beating herself up over her reaction when she was told about the money and he was trying to persuade her into going to see the very money she was beginning to despise.
"She visited it after my father put all the money in it. She visited it in secret," Liam replied her truthfully. He could still remember the information he saw about the number of times someone visited the safe that he saw in the bank.
"Then we could visit it tomorrow," she replied quietly. Her mood actually felt lightened when he told her about her mother visiting the safe. What if she could find something her mother left personally for her in the safe? That will do her a lot of good and the thought of receiving a message from her mother who was long gone was very pleasing and it made her happy.
"What will you like to eat?" he asked glad that he saw color appear on her once pale skin. It seems he actually did a good job this time.
"How did my mother know that I will survive or she was not expecting me to get kidnapped together?" she asked him ignoring the question he asked about what she will like to eat.. She has now further determined to find the people who did that to her mother and her. They were much and she was going to find them all one after the other, none excluded.
? "Perhaps she received a tip. Your mother was a very smart woman. She must have known something was wrong from the way people around her spoke. Members of the Royal council must have showed her something from their words and their body language. Or perhaps she was threatened by someone."
She stood up from the bed. "Did you investigate what happened before she went missing? My mother must have gotten threatened. If it was because of their body languages of words, she must have noticed long before only two weeks prior to when she got kidnapped.
"There is another possibility that she actually overheard something. I have once thought it was possible that my mother was actually trying to run away when we got caught. What if something really bad was about to happen and she needed me out of A city. My mother was definitely not as powerful in A city as she would have been at home in Star city.
"She might have planned to escape before I brought up what someone told me about visiting a place," Rose narrated as she walked to a sofa in the room and sat on it.
"Rose, finding out things like that could make you do things you shouldn't do. It could get very dangerous. You are already in a situation where your life is hunted. You should leave all the dangerous tasks to me.
"My men and I will do all the dirty jobs for you that is why I made the deal with you. I will give you vengeance and the crown. I will do all that while you do your best being a good Queen and watch the show from the save spot I have made for you beside me," he tried to persuade her as he sat on the sofa beside her.
"No, I will like to but what kind of daughter will I be? Also, what kind of Queen will I be? If I don't learn how to fight my battles now, how will I be able to find the battles I will face in the palace? Becoming a Queen is not easy but maintaining your position alive is harder," she replied him not the least persuaded by what he said.
"I will be your shield. That was what you wanted when we signed the contract?" Liam said very unhappy with her sudden decision. He wanted very far anything dangerous. She should simply hide behind him while he use his money to make her dream to make that happen even if he has to take a bullet into his heart for her.
"I . . ." Rose began because thinking about it now, she remembered that, that was actually what she wanted when she signed the contract with him and there was no way she could back out or break the contract. He clearly stated that without working with him, she should give up her throne and pay hundreds of millions into an account every month.
None of that was possible at this moment but she was also not giving up fighting for herself eve if that requires him to work with her.
"We work together. I don't care what you mean or want but you and I must work together. I want to know every progress you make. I want to know everything," she told him sincerely. "I also did not sign the contract to have you do everything because I don't even trust you enough to sign my whole life to you. I signed it so we could become a team."
"I am okay with that but the very moment you let your be in a life threatening situation because of this, that will be the end of our contract. I have many ways I could be king without you. I could easily kill off your step brother and take you little step sister as my wife the moment she turns eighteen," he said clearly angry with her as he stood up. "Please, remember," he told her and walked out of the room.
She scoffed at his sulking attitude. She should be the person who walks out of the room angrily not him. What right . . . yeah, he actually has the right to do anything at this point with her signature and fingerprint in the contract.
"I wish I took a picture," she said when she remembered how he looked angry. It was actually a very different kind of anger one that she was very sure she was the only person on earth lucky enough to witness. No wonder I spoke about food. He must think she loves food so much. He clearly wanted to stay away from that topic.
