Strix put the document down, and lifted his head to look at her. “Your grandfather is in trouble now. Do
you want to go back and have a look at the de Arma family?”
Maisie was stunned. “What happened?”
The only person left in this world that was connected to her through blood was Hernandez, her maternal
grandfather. But how would he be in trouble?
Strix nodded, “The Royal left-wing party has sent someone after your grandfather. While the de Arma
family is in chaos right now, they seized the opportunity to take over the territory belonging to them. I’m
guessing they’re doing this to prevent your grandfather from meddling with the upcoming election.”
Stoslo would hold a presidential election every six years. The royal family and the government would not
intervene in the election. Perhaps the reason Roger had asked help from the government was to
increase his own influence, or maybe he did not only want the throne but the entire Stoslo.
When Strix did not get any response from Maisie, he spoke again in a slow voice. “If you don’t want to
go, I won’t force you.” “I want to go,” Maisie said, looking at him with
determination, “Even though I don’t want anything from the de Arma family, I cannot let other people take
it away.”
Strix smiled and nodded. “Alright. I’ll let Saydie go with you.”
After he finished speaking, he summoned Saydie. When Maisie saw the newcomer, she was stunned.
“Sir,” the person said.
Maisie looked at Strix and asked in disbelief, ‘Is she a girl or a boy?”
Saydie was young. She dressed like a boy and had a beautiful face. Maisie had no idea what she had
gone through in the past, but she could see she was mature and had a lot of stories to tell in her eyes.
Strix chuckled and replied, “Saydie is my most trusted aide. She has been with me since 15 years old.
Those people have seen her skills before. She represents me, and I’m relieved to have her there. I’ll
have someone there to meet you when the time comes.”
Three days later…
Maisie and Saydie arrived at Stoslo. When Maisie once again set her loot in Zena, she did not know why
but her heart shuddered and a complicated emotion rose from her stomach pit.
Soon, the people who came to receive them arrived. A man walked up 10 them reverently and said,
“You’re M s. Alice, right? Mr. Henry has asked us to come and
pick you up
Maisie nodded at him and got into the car with Saydie.
The car drove slowly, and unbeknownst to them, the man sitting in the car beside them withdrew his
gaze.
Nolan was wearing a Bluetooth earpiece in his left ear. There was a string of data on the tablet sitting in
his lap.
Quincy, who sat in the passenger seat, turned his head around after hanging up the call and said, “Mr.
Goldmann, I just received news that Mr. Henry’s men have arrived in Sioslo. Could it be that people from
Metropolis are also involved in this matter?”
Quincy was dumbfounded. The Metropolis was a well known organization in Morwich. They had their
influence spread into both the underworld and law enforcement Besides, Mt. Henry had a close
relationship with the government and the royal family of Morwich, and he was also bestowed with the
right and power similar to the royal family
Although they knew Maisie was in Saint Page, Saint Page was huge. Even if Erwin’s men might have
brought Maisie to Morwich, it was very unlikely he would hide her in a scary place like the Metropolis.
Also, they had heard that Mr. Henry had adopted a girl. That girl was the daughter of the woman he had
been in love with, but the media didn’t have any idea what the girl looked like
Mr. Henry was very protective of her and refused to let anyone disclose her information. Even if they sent
someone to Hanns Palace to find out information about the girl, they would come away empty-handed.
They had also suspected that the girl wasn’t Mr.
Henry’s biological daughter, but their suspicion was proven wrong after Me Henry made the paternity test
results public.
Maisie was truly Stephen’s biological daughter, so it was very unlikely that she was related to Mr. Henry
by blood. They felt that Mr. Henry must be up to something for sending his men to Stoslo.
Nolan’s eyebrows deeply frowned. He looked outside through the window silently, and the light in his
amber eyes dimmed slowly.
