Chapter 1939


    "No, I need to see her now!" Jonathan’s voice was hoarse, struggling to keep his emotions in check.


    He turned to face Sylvia, "Lambert''s discussing a new energy development partnership with Zion and


    Raiden, right?"


    Sylvia nodded, "That seems to be the case."


    Jonathan beckoned his assistant, Mike, and instructed him, "Triceratops has been waiting on my word.


    Tell him I''m also very interested in Raiden''s new energy project. I''ll head over to Zion this afternoon!"


    Mike responded immediately, "Yes, I’ll get in touch with Triceratops right away!"


    Raiden soon received a call from Triceratops, instructing him to prepare for a visit from Alvis.


    Raiden felt there was something fishy. "Is Alvis reallying for the new energy?"


    The show of force earlier didn’t quite add up.


    "We might have ticked him off with our dealings with the Brennan family. He’s probablying to throw


    his weight around. Once he arrives, we can test the waters to see where he stands," Triceratops said,


    his voice tense and breathless after just a few words.


    "Look, the Brennan family aren’t to be trifled with either. If Alvis is willing, we could all work together!"


    Raiden suggested.


    "Just make sure you don’t ruffle his feathers. If you upset the bnce and get the Mystoria Federation


    and Gab to join forces against us, we’ll be sitting ducks," Triceratops warned in a serious tone, fighting


    for breath.


    "I know what to do. Please take care of yourself," Raiden reassured him.


    "Yeah," Triceratops managed to reply before hanging up.


    Raiden set down his phone, his eyes reflecting a cold determination. He couldn''t fathom why the


    usually neutral Federation was suddenly sticking their nose in, throwing his ns into disarray. With


    Lambert already a wildcard and now Alvis stepping in, Zion was about to be a whole lot more


    interesting.


    Raiden let out a derisive chuckle and dialed Winston, "Alvis ising to Zion. Get ready for his arrival.


    Also, give Mr. Brennan a heads-up. There might be changes to our arrangement."


    Winston, a bit startled, quickly responded, "Understood!"


    Lambert, after receiving Winston’s call, returned to the vi to find Estelle. "Get ready, Raiden is hosting


    a dinner tonight and we’re both invited!"


    Estelle cracked a cold joke, "Is it to celebrate my narrow escape from his clutches?"


    Lambert''s piercing eyes fixed on Estelle as he smirked, "Don’t tter yourself. We’re expecting an


    important guest."


    "Who might this important guest be?" Estelle asked.


    "Alvis ising!"


    Estelle was surprised, "The Alvis of the Mystoria Federation?"


    "That’s the one!" Lambert chuckled, "Seems like you’re quite familiar with the Tripe politicalndscape.


    Who exactly are you?"


    Estelle''s tone remained cool, "That’s none of your business."


    Lambert blinked yfully, "Of course it''s none of my business. I would certainly remember a girl I’ve


    had dealings with."


    Estelle ignored him and went upstairs.


    Lambert felt a sense of helplessness towards Estelle’s coldness, but who could he me? Winning the


    trust of a girl like Estelle was no easy feat, and regaining it once lost was even harder.


    Estelle’s head was throbbing, but she dared not sleep. She sat on the balcony sofa, soaking up the


    sun.


    Alvis wasing.


    Once, she had even admired him!


    What was his purpose foring? Co?tent оf Draмa?ovеls.cом


    Was it really for the new energy source, or was it for something the researcher held?


    He must have received some intel, prompting his visit.

    A little chaos in the situation might be good. It would keep Raiden from focusing solely on her.


    Lost in her thoughts and lulled by the warmth of the sun, Estelle eventually drifted off to sleep.
