"If you're willing to accept that, His Highness will treat you well and even give you more benefits."

Shawn made it seem like this would affect the alliance between the royals of the two countries, but he was actually telling her that Metropolis didn't have the right to be involved in Stoslo's affairs. Did she want to keep the territory for the benefits? Maisie laughed. "Metropolis shouldn't have interfered, but this isn't about benefits. Anything that has to do with the de Armas is my business." Shawn was evidently unhappy because she wasn't backing down. "If you insist on interfering. His Highness won't just let this slide. This is my final advice to you." Shawn stood up, buttoned up his suit, and left, while Maisie calmly said, "I have a past with the de Armas." He paused but didn't turn around. Maisie turned to look at him. "I'm going to keep the territory."

After they left, Maisie asked the housekeeper over and asked, "Who's this Shawn that the prince sent over?"

The housekeeper answered, "He's a businessman from Stoslo who was previously promoted by the prince. He has a hand in most of the casinos and entertainment in

spots in Stoslo, and he's considered a spy that the prince placed among the nobles. The casinos and entertainment spots that he owns are mostly visited by the nobles, so he's in charge of the business deals between the prince and the powerful people."

If Shawn had prepared so much money to have a discussion about the territory with her, he probably considered this a business deal. The people of power had dealings with him to get close to the prince. Of course, since Maisie rejected it, the prince wouldn't quietly back down.

When Shawn reported back to Roger, the latter's blue eyes squinted, unclear if he was happy or angry.

A man stood at the side with the sun behind him, the light blurring his silhouette and face. He said in a deep voice, "She has a past with the de Armas?"

Shawn nodded. "Yes."

"Did you see what she looked like?",

"Just like how the media reported, she wore a mask."

The man didn't have any further questions.

Roger's gaze turned sharp. After Shawn left, he said," Have you found out where Hernandez is?"

The man answered, "Not yet."

Roger huffed. "To be careful, you need to get rid of him if you find his whereabouts. Hernandez knows too many secrets, and it will work against us. We can't let him come back alive."

Ever since they couldn't control and manipulate Hernandez, he had been labeled as an 'outcast'. Anything or anyone that would jeopardize their plan would need to be eliminated. Roger said to the man, "As for Alice, I trust you have a solution."

Maisie sat at her desk, going through some information that night. She found out that there were three people Prince Roger trusted." Other than Shawn Pattinson, who was in the business field, there were two others.

One of them was Robert Stark, the finance minister of Stoslo, and he came from one of the richest families in Zena. If Shawn was the prince's envoy, Robert would be the prince's financial vault.

The third one was Gregory Grissom, a high-ranking officer in the Bureau of Investigations who had connections with all high-ranking people in the government.

It seemed that Nolan was right-the prince had reached out toward the government. Otherwise, he wouldn't have interfered with the election.

At that moment, her phone's screen lit up. The number that was calling was one she was very familiar with.

Maisie hesitated for a moment but didn't pick up the call. Soon after, she received another call. She couldn't hold it in anymore, so she answered it. "Mr. Goldmann, what can I do for you at this hour?"
