Chapter 867 Foolish Duke
Unedited
..............
Two days after the explosion
*PAK* Leandro stumbled on the floor when his grandfather hit him. He quickly got back up to his seat.
"You moron!" Mr. Neeson hissed at his grandson. "I told you to become the Grand Duke! Did I tell you to touch her?"
Leandro clutched his cheeks, confusion apparent in his eyes. "Lily?" he asked.
"You really are a fool!" Mr. Neeson said. "How could you try and kill her?"
"Try?" Leandro's face became dark. Does this mean she was still alive?
"Ha! You are a fool!" Mr. Neeson said. The international news didn't mention Lily as the one sitting on the sedan that suddenly blew up in Germany. What happened was a confidential secret that only a few people know. The organisation was forced to clean it all up and use all their contacts to prevent the news from spreading.
And since Mr. Neeson and Antone Harringfort was the one near the area, they were forced to do everything and reveal themselves to some important people not only in Germany and Luxembourg but also in Belgium. With the power of social media and the internet, cleaning something like this was truly difficult; it would cause even The Order a lot of headaches.
Moreover, everyone was angry at Leandro's foolish behavior. But ever since, they could not choose anyone else to rule Luxembourg; they were forced to stop themselves from requesting a kill order.
"You think they would just stop there for no reason?" Mr. Neeson said. "Once Lily revealed herself. You are a dead man. And not even I could stop that from happening!" He continued.
"Grandfather!"
"Hmph!" Mr. Neeson turned his head away. Leandro and Mikaela's plan had nothing to do with him. He only told him that he would support him once he becomes the Grand Duke. Who would have thought that this dummy would have his supporters? Moreover, someone in the organisation also helped him out in framing Zhou Jingren.
Mr. Neeson always knew that they would target Zhou Jingren. But he thought that they would find some other ways to target him or even Lily's child after she gave birth. Who would have thought that someone from the organisation would help this stupid grandson of his? Of course, Mr. Neeson already had some suspicion about the identity of the person who tried to help his grandson. However, he had no proof of it! He could only endure for now and wait for Lily to come back to deal with this situation! During that conversation, he had warned her multiple times about the possibility that they would use Zhou Jingren. Surely, Lily already took some precautionary measures before she even came to this country, right?
Once again, Mr. Neeson gritted his teeth as the sight of his stupid grandson. How could he be this stupid? "If you wanted to deal with them. You could have gone all out and killed them properly! Look at what you did? You didn't only let them live! You also gave them the chance to come back for revenge. Most importantly, you also give me a lot of headache."
"Grandfather… if…"
"Shut up! Do not do anything else! Do not find them! Do not target their company! Do not fucking do anything! Just sit there on this useless throne and do everything that I say!"
"But… but what if they come back?"
"Then you sit still and wait until they kill you!" Mr. Neeson hissed. Once Lily comes back, she would surely join the Order, and once that happens, she could do whatever she wants to Leandro, and no one would even ask her any questions! Lily was not like Lilian. Lily would surely take advantage of her position to get revenge. And once she does that…. She might even try to destroy them from the inside.
Of course… these are only possibilities that he needed to prepare for.
Meanwhile, Leandro was only staring at his grandfather's dark face. Until now, he could not understand why his grandfather would react this much when Leandro thought his grandfather hated Lily. He quickly thought about Harringfort's words last night telling him not to worry about his grandfather as he could not do anything to him. Of course, he never understood why Harringfort would say such a thing.
Leandro shook those thoughts out of his head as he nodded to himself. His dream and destiny were always to become the next Grand Duke. It was all coming true! There is no need for him to think about dead people anymore. He immediately lowered his head and started beaming as he thought about his dead wife. Leandro had never planned on harming his father.
However, when Harringfort told him that his father killed his wife, it was as if his feelings towards his father vanished overnight. All he had was hatred for the man. Leandro loved his wife, and while she poisoned him, it was only because that person, Pierre forced her to. He would have understood if his father killed Pierre Weber since he was the mastermind of that attempted assassination. However, his father did kill everyone who was involved in the poisoning! In Leandro's mind, his father did it because he wanted to deal with it as soon as possible.
And there was only one reason why he would want to deal with it that way. He was covering for someone else. Because of this, Leandro thought that his father found out the truth about the poisoning. He must have found out the truth and wanted to clean it up to avoid more conflict!
What a foolish Duke! He thought inwardly.
After his conclusion, Leandro didn't waste his time. He immediately told Mikaela and his subordinates about it. And it was also at that time that Harringfort asked to see him privately. Everything happened too quick that overnight, they completed a plan to frame Zhou Jingren in the attempted murder. They would then imprison the wounded Duke and announce that he is in Coma.
Then Leandro would become the new Grand Duke and Mikaela will at least have the peace that she wanted to have. That was their plan.
