Nolan supported himself on the table next to her and leaned down, the light scent of lavender pervading
the air. “Do you believe me now?”
Maisie turned around to look at him. “Robert is Roger’s right-hand man and his vault. How did you find
out about this?”
“All thanks to Wesley.” Nolan grinned. “They seem impeccable because they paid the people well
enough.
His son didn’t want to sell his father out at first.”
“What made him change his mind?”
“He wasn’t satisfied that he was always second-class compared to the children he had with his wife.”
Nolan held her hair between his fingers. “Wesley tried to rope him in and made promises. Do you think
he would choose to be a secret son or to have power?”
“I guess power.”
Maisie looked down. No one could reject the temptation of power since the dawn of mankind. When men
had power, money and women would naturally follow.
Nolan smiled. “The only mistake Robert made was not treating his son right.”
When people had everything, it would be tough to feel content and would want more.
Maisie put her hand under her chin. “Now that Robert i s being investigated, won’t Roger do anything?”
He smiled. “Probably busy covering up.”
Maisie and Nolan went to Wesley’s home in the afternoon.
Wesley’s home was in a private estate. There were two football field-sized clearings behind the villa for
golf. The field next to the villa that was fenced up was his private horse ranch.
Wesley brought a few documents and placed them on the table. “These are name lists I got from Mark
O’Brien. They’re the names of people who run the smuggling operations for Robert, but they had already
fled by the time the police got there.”
Nolan scanned through the documents. “They couldn’t have gotten far. If the police didn’t get to them
first, Roger’s men should have taken them.”
“Sadly, Robert’s investigation will not affect the election. It’ll carry on after three days.”
Nolan looked at Wesley with dim eyes.
“Roger would have to remove himself from Robert’s investigation, and he still has Gregory. Gregory will
probably take out Robert, just to be safe.”
Unfortunately, they only had three days. After three days, things would get complicated when the person
Prince Roger nominated became the new president.
“What if we could stop the election?” Maisie asked calmly.
Wesley was shocked. “That’s not possible.”
Maisie smiled. “Other than their people, aren’t the citizens involved in the election too? If the people
worked together and protested, and what they were protesting became reality, the election would not
run.”
Wesley was surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “Is there something that’s more important than their
benefits?”
Maisie pointed a finger at Nolan. “What about his disease?”
Nolan was stunned, then smiled. “You want to make my condition known?”
Wesley looked at them, confused. “What is happening?”
Maisie got up and walked aside. “Nolan is the first victim of the new virus.”
Wesley was stunned and looked at him with a shocked expression. “You…”
