Chapter 417 Flipped Or Not

Angela eyed Ethan suspiciously as he handed her a folded paper from his pocket.

"What's this?" she asked.

"Something useful. Read it on the plane and get rid of it after," Ethan said with a smile, waving before walking out of the airport.

Angela watched him leave with a mix of emotions, then boarded the plane.

Ethan hailed a taxi, and the driver dropped him off near the palace.

"I can't go any further, sir. This is as far as I can take you," the driver said, looking at the checkpoint.

"No problem. Keep the change," Ethan said, handing over a hundred-dollar bill and getting out.

"You're back. Is everything sorted?" Alice asked, running over with Lilia as soon as she saw Ethan.

"Yeah, they should be in the air now. Once they reach Vexa, my job's done," Ethan replied with a smile.

"Thanks, Ethan. If it weren't for you, things could've been disastrous. We never thought Herong had such big plans," Lilia said.

"It's not over yet. I missed some things, and there might still be trouble," Ethan warned, looking a bit helpless.

"Trouble?" Lilia asked, frowning.

Even though it was two or three in the morning, Ryan was still on the couch in the palace, frowning.

Today's events had spiraled out of control, and Ryan felt like a pawn in a bigger game.

When Ethan walked in, Ryan stood up quickly. "Did the people from Madryd get involved?"

"Afraid they'll cause trouble?" Ethan asked bluntly.

"The Winston family already has me cornered. If Madryd gets involved, I don't know what to do," Ryan sighed, essentially passing the problem to Ethan.

"Don't worry. Madryd isn't interested in your royal family. They still think it's all Herong and Arnold's doing," Ethan chuckled.

Ryan felt both relieved and worried. He knew he needed Ethan's help with Herong, but he also feared the fallout from Madryd discovering the truth. If the Winston family caused trouble, the royal family could be ruined.

"Is it still okay to keep Herong in the palace?" Lilia asked quietly.

"My job's done. How you handle Herong is up to you. But if Madryd finds out about him, they'll learn everything that happened tonight," Ethan said with a smile.

"Should we just silence him?" Ryan suggested after a pause.

If they released Herong, Madryd would find out everything, which wouldn't be good for Ethan. But if Herong ended up with Madryd, the royal family could dodge responsibility, and the Winston family would go after Madryd instead.

"Just release him. Madryd might already know what happened. Letting Herong go is best for your royal family. Once he's with Madryd, he won't make it back," Ethan said, seeing through Ryan's thoughts.

Ryan felt a bit embarrassed but was glad Ethan agreed to release Herong.

"Thanks for understanding," Ryan nodded.

"Now the King can sleep well. I'll take Alice back. Eric can discuss the royal sponsorship with you later," Ethan said, ready to leave with Alice.

If it weren't for Alice, he wouldn't care about the royal stuff at all. He's got his own mess to sort out!

"Wait, Ethan, are you taking Alice back to Vexa?" Lilia asked softly.

"I'll leave after dealing with Madryd. Lilia, if you have time, visit Vexa. Alice would love it," Ethan nodded politely.

"I need to stay with my dad for now. Once things are settled, I'll visit Vexa," Lilia nodded reluctantly.

"You're always welcome," Ethan smiled, watching Alice and Lilia say their goodbyes before leading Alice out of the castle.

"Did you notice Lilia giving you those starry eyes?" Alice suddenly asked, making Ethan's face change.

"What are you thinking now?"

"I'm serious. Since you saved them tonight, Lilia has feelings for you," Alice said seriously.

"Aren't you good friends? Are you saying she wants to steal your man? Even if she has feelings, what does that have to do with me?" Ethan said, pinching Alice's nose before opening the car door.

"Honestly, Lilia is beautiful and from a noble background. Didn't you feel anything for her?" Alice pressed as she got into the car.

Ethan ignored Alice's question.
