A Cue For Love Chapter 1130


    Chapter 1130 She Is Mine


    Joseph took care of Bastien meticulously. In the evening, Bastien showed signs of waking up. With


    much effort, he opened his eyes and saw Joseph sitting by his bedside with a concerned look on his


    face. Bastien nced at theyers of bandage on his arm and asked nervously, “Joseph, my arm…”


    “Mr. Nine, we managed to get you to the hospital in time. Your arm is fine. You will make aplete


    recovery after a period of rest.” Joseph paused and continued hesitantly, “I thought you had the jade


    key? How did you injure your arm so seriously?”


    Bastien was leaning back against a cushion when a cold glint shed across his gentle eyes as he


    replied, “That jade key is fake.” “Fake?” A deep crease appeared between Joseph’s brows.


    “Even though the key fitted into the lock, it couldn’t be used to open the secret room. As I used force, it


    activated the traps instead. This happened because I was too careless…” Bastien continued coldly,


    “Not only was Zophie deceived, but I have also been deceived. This jade key is an exact replica of the


    real thing. The only person in Loang who is capable of replicating the jade key so well is Varre Appleby.


    However, he disappeared more than a decade ago…”


    It was as if the man had suddenly fallen off the face of the Earth. The royal family had made attempts


    to find him but to no avail. No one had expected that Varre was still alive and had even created an


    exact replica of the jade key.


    “Mr. Nine, so where’s the real key?” Joseph was confused. After a pause, he said hesitantly, “Could…


    Could Major General Sutton have switched it out when he was questioning Zophie? Maybe he’s


    thinking of keeping the key for himself?”


    Bastien narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “It wasn’t Jerome. It was someone else who took the


    key.” “Who?”


    “Natalie,” Bastien answered. “She’s probably the only person who could have deceived both Zophie


    and myself. Well, she has outsmarted me once again…”


    “What?” Joseph eximed in shock. Both Joseph and Bastien fell into deep thought.


    Even though Natalie hasn’t been here for long, she has a good rtionship with the Sutton family. They


    are so close that Daniel even went against me because of her. On top of that, she also knows Varre,


    who has been missing for so long, and was able to get him to duplicate the jade key with such short


    notice…


    What’s more intriguing is that she is such a master of stratagem and was able to calcte and execute


    every step so perfectly…


    No matter who got their hands on the fake jade key, they would all end up suffering. Bastien could not


    help but wonder what would have happened if he had been more careless. He might have even lost his


    arm.


    “That woman… She’s making me love and hate her at the same time…” The determination in Bastien’s


    eyes became increasingly intense as the man’s infatuation for Natalie grew deeper. Not only is she so


    wild and beautiful, but under her gorgeous appearance is also a cunning and ingenious mind.


    “Natalie has caused you such misery…” Joseph wanted to ask further but stopped mid-sentence. Are


    you intending to just let the matter slide?


    Bastien nced at his injured arm and said cidly, “Joseph, spread the news that I got injured in the


    royal mausoleum around. Make it sound as serious as possible. Also, let ze know that the jade key


    in my possession is a counterfeit. In theing days, I will focus on my recovery and see how the


    situation develops while waiting for ze to force Natalie to hand over the real jade key…”


    Joseph understood that Bastien did not want to confront Natalie directly and wanted ze to do the


    dirty job instead.


    The mantis, busy stalking the cicada, would not be aware of the bird behind.


    Between ze and Natalie, regardless of who the mantis or cicada was, the bird would certainly be


    Bastien, watching the mantis’ every move.

    “How’s the investigation going? Is the man behind ze that person?” Bastien asked nonchntly.


    Joseph nodded solemnly and replied, “It’s just as you thought. King, the mastermind behind ze, is


    the person you had in mind.”


    Bastien pressed his lips together and let out a sigh. “No matter how much that person wants to be at


    the top, there can only be one king, and it would be me.”


    Of course, there was something else that the man omitted from his sentence.


    Not only will I be the king, but I will also have Natalie as my queen!
