The Three Little Guardian Angels Chapter 2572
Yorrick then looked at the people. “So, His Highness‘ wife and offspring are fine. Why would he need to take revenge then?”
All the ministers were speechless. If that were the truth, Nollace would have no reason to poison the inmate because she didn’t succeed in her plan and cause any harm.
Nollace wouldn’t have a reason to take revenge.
Diana broke the silence and said, “You heard that. I know my son well enough. If I wanted to cover for him, why would I let the police investigate him? My son and daughter–in–law were wrongfully accused. Should I not say something?
“The matters of the country are important, but so are family matters. If I can’t even protect my family, how will I be able to run the country? I’m under pressure from all sides. Is this what you call loyalty? Should I vacate this throne and let you take it?”
“Your Majesty, that’s not what we meant-”
“Not what you meant? You’ve received so many benefits from the Taylors that you’re trying to take my power away from me?”
Diana’s speech put fear in everyone’s hearts.
She stood up. “That old fox supports the cabinet, and I can’t talk to you anymore. If that’s the case, he should take the throne, no?”
“Your Majesty, Lord Taylor really is loyal to the royal family.”
“Loyal. He’s crawling his way over me. What loyalty is that?” Diana slammed on the table and was furious. “When he let his daughter pay off that inmate to put a royal in danger, he didn’t show any signs of loyalty.”
Everyone was silent. They were trying to avoid confrontation.
Diana saw through them and chuckled while looking fierce. “Alright, if you’re all loyal to the Taylors, we’ll need a new set of cabinet members. It’s time that you retire. Thousands are ready and willing to take your place.”
She ignored the objection of everyone and left the meeting room. It was obvious that she was enraged about this.
Nollace and Yorrick left together. They walked along the corridor, but Yorrick stopped and turned to face him. “What do you think about that?”
Nollace’s eyes darted around, and he smiled. “Offense is the best defense.”
Yorrick smiled. “Lucious is very sneaky. Without enough evidence, there’s no way we can take him down. You saw how most of the cabinet members are his people. They’ve gotten a lot of benefits from him, so they don’t want to see him fall.”
All of them supported him because of what he could do for them. He made them rich men, so they would naturally keep their lips tight.
Lucius might have some leverage over them too. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Nollace squinted as he was deep in thought.
He walked to the door and watched while Yorrick got into the car, then he got a call.
He drove quickly to the hospital and saw the bodyguard rush toward him. “Your Highness.”
“How is he?”
He replied, “We were attacked up north, and they had guns. Edison took two bullets and was in surgery. He hasn’t come to yet.”
Nollace’s expression turned dark. “Did you see who your attackers were?”
