Chapter 1291: Chapter 1291: Can’t Figure Out Why I Fell Into The Hands of a Young Girl_1

Chapter 1291

The atmosphere within the room was icy and rigid, suffocatingly tense.

Mrs. York was accused and unable to refute any allegations. Indeed, she had behaved inappropriately, casting disgrace upon the Duke’s mansion.

She lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Master York said, "Enough, her actions were driven by motherly instincts to protect her daughter. There’s no point blaming her. Send someone to clarify the situation and manage our public relations promptly."

Mr. York sighed and promptly went to make arrangements.

Because of these two sudden incidents, the Duke’s mansion was engulfed in a solemn and gloomy atmosphere the entire morning. Both incidents were escalating on the internet and showed no signs of cooling down.

At first, a majority of people sided with Chloe Collins, but then many also spoke in defense of the Yorks. No particular reason, other than the fact they were nationals of Anstolas.

Just as the forces were engaged in a heated struggle, the master received another headache-inducing news —

Alexander Foster wasn’t detained in Grearon by Foster but had gone to Goldasia, and he had invited the people from the Goldasian royal family. This was a private trip and wasn’t excessively reported, yet the moment the Goldasian royal family’s plane descended in Anstolas’ airspace, it was discovered.

Their party had arrived in Anstolas that morning and were currently residing at Chloe Collins’ residence.

This development alarmed Mr. York. He immediately reported to the master and called for a meeting.

"Father, if Goldasia has intentions to investigate this matter, they will definitely trace this back to Manie. What can we do then? Anstolas is currently in big cooperation talks with them. If this situation jeopardizes the friendship between our countries at this critical time, it won’t be an easy affair for us to handle with our King!"

Master York slammed his palm on the table, furious, "This Alexander Foster! Daring to play such a move on me!"

After pacing around the room several times, Mr. York pondered and then said, "If we want to solve this matter now, the key lies in Chloe Collins’ intentions. I have found out that she has a very close relationship with Liam Locke. She strived hard in the fighting arena for him. So she is the only one who can sway Alexander Foster and speak for us now."

"Let her speak for us?" Master York sneered, "Let’s not say it’s impossible, even if it were, we, the Yorks, would not stoop to ask her!"

Jerry River sighed, "Alas, unfortunately, I had them examine the surveillance tapes the other day, and our domestic staff had told everything to Chloe Collins. She has collected the evidence and can easily exaggerate matters overseas in Goldasia, causing misunderstandings between the two sides."

Master York grunted, "Don’t go about mouthing chaotic hypotheses of situations that are not yet clear. Our Manie is not such a person. It is merely a misunderstanding. We just need to clear it up! He dare not pressure me with Goldasia!"

The butler walked in, holding in his hand a letter. "Master, the gatekeeper just sent this over, saying it was sent by someone from Chloe Collins’ side."

"What is it?"

Mr. York took it, opened to read it, and after scanning over it, he looked at Jerry River in surprise.

"They are implying they want Jerry River."

"Let me see."

Once Master York saw the letter, his face turned even more pale. He scoffed, "I knew it. That young lady is still struggling desperately, wanting Jerry to save her life!"

Jerry River immediately stated his stance, "Sir, I pledge my service to Miss Manie only. You can rest assured."

The father and son duo of Master York didn’t say anything, each deep in their own thoughts.

All these matters tangled together. They were supposed to have the upper hand, but now, they inexplicably found themselves under Chloe Collins’ control.

She cleverly manipulated public opinion and the royal dignity to pressure the Yorks. It wasn’t as they had previously predicted - once Alexander Foster was gone, she would be left fighting alone and ultimately lose without a fight.

The more Master York thought about it, the angrier he got. He couldn’t understand how he had fallen into the hands of a young girl!
