Chapter 1420
"You can wait until tomorrow." At last, Marquis let out a long sigh. "Several nobles promised to intercede with His Majesty tomorrow. What's more, with your stepmother's family, I hope His Majesty will give the Lara and Simon a chance on account of the century-long loyalty of our family."
Alex nodded. "Yes, I will plead with His Majesty tomorrow."
"All in all, it's Simon's fault for causing this trouble!" The Marquis was so furious that he pounded the table beside him with his fist, veins showing on his face. "Currently, when I'm dealing with the Simon Family, I have to ask us to fix the mess for him. I didn't expect that Lara would do the same to Simon."
The Marquis' voice trembled. "I knew that she liked Nangong Yen for a long time, but I didn't expect that she had colluded with him to assassinate Prince Charlie. It's just that it's her lab matter. Maybe we can ask the higher- ups to give her a chance to deal with it. But assassinating the prince is a felony! If His Majesty let her go, the other royal families and the officials will not spare her!"
Alex looked at the Marquess. "Father, I am also responsible for this matter. As their elder brother, I did not educate them well..."
"Forget it." Marquis shook his hand with anger and pain. "It's none of your business. It's not easy for you to manage the family well in your physical condition. I know that when you and I were not in charge of pill pills, Simon didn't poison you. He never thought about getting along well with your big brother. I just didn't expect that Lara would do such a bad thing to him since he was always so steady!"
Alex chuckled lightly. "I once told my father on the phone. Back then, I thought my father wouldn't believe me. Even if I found out, he wouldn't be able to see me outside. Mother won't even believe that he tried to poison me either."
"I also couldn't believe it at first." When she said this, the Marquess lowered her eyes in annoyance. "Now that I've seen what he did, I believe that it's possible for him to poison you. If I had believed in you at that time and came back to punish him in time, I would not Majesty let her go, the other royal families and the officials will not spare her!"
Alex looked at the Marquess. "Father, I am also responsible for this matter. As their elder brother, I did not educate them well..."
"Forget it." Marquis shook his hand with anger and pain. "It's none of your business. It's not easy for you to manage the family well in your physical condition. I know that when you and I were not in charge of pill pills, Simon didn't poison you. He never thought about getting along well with your big brother. I just didn't expect that Lara would do such a bad thing to him since he was always so steady!"
Alex chuckled lightly. "I once told my father on the phone. Back then, I thought my father wouldn't believe me. Even if I found out, he wouldn't be able to see me outside. Mother won't even believe that he tried to poison me either."
"I also couldn't believe it at first." When she said this, the Marquess lowered her eyes in annoyance. "Now that I've seen what he did, I believe that it's possible for him to poison you. If I had believed in you at that time and came back to punish him in time, I would not have allowed him to make such a mistake today. Speaking of responsibility, as your father, I have a greater responsibility."
"Alex is an adult. If he really wants to do something, no one next to him can stop him, father." Alex opened his eyes and looked out of the glass window at the night.
The Marquess looked up and said, "Alex, I just want to ask you, these days I heard from the media that someone used a company as protection umbrella to do illegal business... is it true?"
Alex did not say anything.
However, his silence had already explained everything.
"Is it Simon?" The eyes of the man, who was a marquis, reddened at the news of his second son's evil deeds. "I'm sure you've got someone to investigate this."
"Yes, Father," Alex replied. "He and Rem."
Rem was the older brother of the Marchioness.
It was Simon's and Lara's uncle.
The Marquis clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with rage. "I knew it.
Of course I shouldn't have let Simon take over the company. I should have come back to watch over the company when you're seriously ill!"
The Marchioness, however, said that she would give Simon a chance...
"Father, you don't have to worry about the company," Alex said. "Let's concentrate on staying in the palace and our family. I've already sent someone to investigate the company's affairs after Simon's Propping up the palace."
It was no matter when, the Marquess would always feel proud of his eldest son. He would always be able to relieve his father's worries as soon as possible. Getting him to continue with the family and take charge of the family's power was the thing that he did the most right thing!
"Is that so? It's fine as long as you take care of the company's matters," the marquess said emotionally. "Eleven, I'm proud of myself."
Alex leaned against the side of the bed with a faint expression on his face. "Father, this is what I should do."
The Marquess looked at Unlock, and her eyes were full of apologies to her ex-wife. "After this thing is over, I will find a noble daughter who is well matched with you. You'd better get married. If you don't get married, I will always feel sorry for your dead mother."
"Father, what are you talking about?" Alex smiled. "I don't think that she would force me to marry her when she's still alive. Besides, I never thought about getting married. Being single isn't a bad thing. At least I can spend all my energy on my family and Poswoth's energy company."
"You have to have a baby."
"Then there's no need for you to get married. Find a woman with good genes to carry out your pregnancy." Alex said with a light smile. Seeing that the Marquess wanted to- advise him further, he continued, "Alright, father, it's not the time to talk about my marriage. I must try my best to prevent the Poshawphus family from being affected by Simon and Lara. Now that the second Young Master of the Poshaw family and Third Miss are involved, there must be a lot of people who want to add insult to injury."
Only now did the marquess no longer mention it, and a look of resolution appeared in her eyes. "They want to defeat my Poshawphs clan? In their dreams! Forget about the fact that our clan is a hundred-plus year old noble of the continent; Company is the largest energy source in northern Europe, and its wealth is greater than the other families!"
As the number one noble of Ruidan had fallen, the reputation of Ruidan would also be affected, unless the royal family was willing to watch the national power of this country weaken!
Finally, Marquis said, "Since you're not feeling well, let's go to the palace tomorrow."
"Yes, my lord."
"Men, has Alex's medicine not healed yet?" The Marquis's dignified voice shouted towards the outside. "If there's another serious problem with Alex's illness, don't think that all of you will be fine!"
The person outside who was carrying the medicine was coming in, and he was scared and said, "Marquis, the medicine is ready."
The Marquis handed the pill to Alex and instructed, "Have a good rest." After that, she left. She was interested in thinking about what had happened to Simon and Lara. She was the only one whom the entire Pochiphus family hoped for. She was even more afraid that there would be something wrong with Alex.
When the butler came in, he saw that Alex was looking at the bowl of medicine in her hand and did not want to be in a daze. "Mr. Alex, I'm back. I met a marquis outside just now. Did anything happen between you and the Marquess?"
Alex smiled. "It's nothing. I'm just angry and disappointed at his second son and daughter. At the same time, I'm also worried that something might happen to my body. There won't be a successor to the Poswoth family."
"Then you're overthinking. Mr. Alex's body has already gotten much better during this period of time," said Stephen. He looked at the bowl in the latter's hand and the latter who was sitting on the bed and his expression changed. "Could it be that Mr. Alex's illness is..."
"No, I'm fine." Elsa gave the bowl of medicine to the butler. "Take it and pour it into the flower pot."
"This..."
"Father wanted me to go to King's Island tonight to ask for the queen's mercy on behalf of Simon." Horn's coffee eyes sharply opened. "I didn't. I said I was sick..."
The chamberlain saw it and asked, "Mr. Alex, do you want to buy some more time? Let's see if the police can find out anything else from Miss Lara and Simon tonight."
