Chapter 192 Ashley Almost Exposed Her Identity
"This makes sense. We shouldn't push people too far, right, Your Majesty?"
Aron asked Kelsey, but his tone was firm, almost demanding agreement.
Why was Kelsey scared of Aron?
Aron was a famous politician in Ferndale. He was a key minister who helped the former emperor rise to power and then handed over all real power to him.
This selfless act earned him a lot of respect!
When the former emperor died early and the court was in chaos, Aron supported Kelsey's rise and helped her stabilize her position.
He hadn't been involved in politics for years, but his legend still loomed large.
So, whenever he visited the palace, everyone, including Kelsey, showed him respect.
Kelsey glanced at Ethan, who raised an eyebrow, clearly intrigued.
After a long pause, Kelsey said, "Count Albanian is right. How many days until my birthday?"
"Seven days, Your Majesty!"
Kelsey looked coldly at Ethan and said, "Alright, I'll give you four days. Miss the deadline, and you'll face the consequences."
Aron added, "That's better. We must avoid giving outsiders the impression that Ferndale is unreasonable."
He turned to Ethan, "Mr. Yates, aren't you going to thank Her Majesty?"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ethan felt a wave of relief. With four days, he had a chance to save the Yates Group from bankruptcy. The weight on his shoulders lifted.
Over an hour later, the meeting ended. After a few words with Aron, Kelsey left, leaving Ethan and Aron alone.
"Count Albanian, thank you for your help."
Ethan extended his hand.
Aron smiled, shook it, and said, "No need to thank me, Mr. Yates. I haven't been to the palace in over a decade. I'm here today as a favor to someone else."
Ethan looked puzzled. "A favor?"
Aron patted his shoulder and laughed. "Yes, you should thank William!"
Aron and William had a life-and-death friendship from their younger days.
"William?"
Ethan was confused.
"William is my good friend and benefactor. He saved my life during a war when I was young."
Aron became talkative. "William is a legend in design, a myth in programming. He's a miracle worker. He's my idol!"
Ethan was intrigued by William.
But he didn't remember knowing such a powerful person. How could he be helping him now?
"His name is William... You probably don't know him, but you have a special connection with his student..."
Ethan was even more puzzled. "Who is his student?"
"Her last name is Wilson... What's her first name... Oh, I'm getting old, I can't remember. Let me call to confirm."
When Aron mentioned the last name Wilson, Ethan's heart skipped a beat.
He thought of Ashley.
As Aron struggled to remember the name, Ethan's hopes were raised and then dashed.
Aron was about to make a call when a guard approached. "Count Albanian, Her Majesty needs to discuss an important matter."
"Alright."
Aron put away his phone, patted Ethan's shoulder, and said, "Seize the time, don't miss this chance. I'll call William to confirm when I can."
"Okay, thank you, Count Albanian."
Ethan watched Aron leave, his mind racing with questions, feeling a mix of curiosity and anxiety.
He muttered to himself, "Ashley, is it you? Are you the one helping me?"
