Chapter 876: Suppor
Now that everything was set. It was the best time to start their plan by ruining Luxembourg.
That was what Lily thought the moment she arrived in Luxembourg. Of course, she was not thinking about literally destroying the country but the people who currently led the country. In other words, Leandro and Mikaela.
Since they started receiving images that showed their everyday actions, Leandro and Mikaela had been obsessed with security. The two refused to receive guests that were not very important and they went as far as installing cameras in their own personal rooms.
Lily found this entertaining. Did they expect her to die from a small explosion? She then recalled what really happened that night. Lily and Zhou Jingren had long left the car when one of Leandro's men used their launchers on the car. Did they think that Lily and Zhou Jingren would go to the plane using a car that would attract their attention? While Lily didn't expect Leandro to actually aim for her life, she was already planning to abandon the car immediately. Of course, that decision was purely out of instinct and it was what saved them in the end.
While they were able to survive that night without any injuries, Lily couldn't stop herself from fuming. She saved them from the poison and yet they tried to kill her. Funny how Duke Phil actually had a kid like him. Was it because they were Mr. Neeson's grandchildren? Perhaps… it runs in their blood?
Of course, Lily knew the reasoning behind their actions. They loved someone. And that someone was taken from them. Their initial reaction was of course rage. They were blinded by rage and they acted solely based on their emotions and forgot about any reasoning. Still, that would not excuse them from trying to kill her and her family.
On the other hand, both Leandro and Mikaela still didn't see anything wrong with what they did. Sure, it was an attempted murder but they didn't succeed and they found it reasonable to try and kill Lily as she was really the one who ruined the whole family. Before Lily arrived in Luxembourg, they were peaceful, they were happy.
"Still no news of her?" Leandro said as he leaned against his velvet chair. He eyed Mikaela sitting on the couch a few feet away from him. "You are losing weight."
"Says the one who looks sick." Mikaela countered. Another reason why they have been avoiding the eyes of the public was because of their steady weight loss. They didn't want people to start asking questions about their health and avoid more issues. "Nothing. They were not in Hong Kong or China. Not in London and Japan either." Mikaela had been hiring people, private investigators and other professionals to follow Bei Tian and Qin Yuanfeng as well as Zhou Jingren's mother and father around. However, everything seemed so normal in their end, it was starting to irritate her. "Are you sure grandfather said they survived?"
"Qin Yuanfeng and that Secretary Go are proof of that." A few days after the incident, people spotted Qin Yuanfeng with Secretary Go arriving in Hong Kong. Wasn't that enough proof that they were alive? He scoff and turned his head away at his sister's stupid words. Even their grandfather confirmed that they were alive. How could she still doubt it? "Did you forget the pictures?"
As expected his words made her flinch. She hastily looked at him. "I — I think it might not be them."
"Then… who is it? Levi and Eliza? You imprisoned them and changed their servants. Do you think there is a way for them to access the palace behind our backs?"
Mikaela turned silent at his words. She knew it was Lily and Zhou Jingren, however, her mind just refused to accept it. A sigh escaped her lips. "Then… what are we going to do?"
"Nothing." Leandro remembered the time when his grandfather told him to do nothing. With his current position right now, it would be bad for him to disobey his order. Not when he was not properly crowned as the Grand Duke because Phil refused to do so. With the current situation in Luxembourg, he needed his grandfather's support the most.
"Leandro! Can you hear yourself? They are trying to scare us in our own home! They are telling us that we are not safe! That they could kill us anytime! Are you really going to do this to me? You were the one who tried to kill them! Why do I have to suffer as well?" Seeing her brother just stare at her without saying anything, Mikaela cursed inwardly before she continued. "I have children! I can't die!"
"What can I do?"
Completely stumped for words, Mikaela could not help but tear up, the frustrations that she had been hiding for the past few months raged inside her. She wanted to curse, yell and shout at him for not defending her, them, their family! However, no words came out of her mouth. In the end, tears slowly streamed down her cheeks as Leandro shook his head and left his office. This was not actually the first time that a confrontation like this had occurred between them and he knew this would not be the last either.
Still, what could he do about it? He was powerless against the faction that supported his father before. Just the thought of those 'noble' families almost immediately made him angry. For some reason, he found it hard to control the ministers and other heads of noble families in the country. This had caused him a lot of stress and sleepless nights. Another sigh left his lips as he opened the door to his suite room inside the palace.
Not long after he entered the room, Leandro froze, his eyes wide as he stared at the woman sitting on the Velvet sofa in front of his fireplace. He immediately clenched his hands as he stopped his arms from trembling. Surprise, anger and fear made his stomach churn. "You— How are you here!?"
