Chapter 718:

With that, they parted ways. As Madisyn and Waylon left the palace, Waylon turned to her. “Should we go find Andrew?”

Madisyn pulled out her phone. “No. Right now, Andrew isn’t their target. They’ve likely shifted their focus to someone else. I need to warn Dane.”

“What’s going on?” Waylon asked, scratching his head in confusion.

“Hector is Savannah’s informant in Lorpond,” Madisyn said calmly, explaining Hector’s secretive actions. Waylon was shocked, his eyes widening in disbelief.

“God! I always thought Hector was a nice guy!”

Who could’ve guessed that someone who appeared so dignified on the surface was scheming behind the scenes in Lorpond?

Dane sat in his office when Madisyn’s call came through. “Alright, I understand. I’ve always been cautious. But what about you? Is everything running smoothly on your end?” he asked, concern evident in his voice.

Madisyn responded calmly, “Yes. The election is coming up soon. I can promise you, Savannah’s dream is about to fall apart.”

“Really?” Dane mused. “They’ve been planning for ages. Do you really think they’ll fail just because they don’t have the Johns and Klein families backing them?”

“Of course not. Their trump cards aren’t just our families. They’ve also got the Serpentine Palers. But Howard is with them, and I’m confident he’ll tear them down from the inside,” Madisyn smiled.

Nearby, Waylon listened, growing more confused with each word. The longer his siblings talked, the less he understood.

When the call ended, he couldn’t hold back anymore and asked for details. Madisyn didn’t leave him in the dark. She explained everything to him.

“So… you, Dane, and Howard are all in on this? I’m the only one who’s been kept in the dark?” Waylon groaned, feeling utterly left out. Were they even still family?

Madisyn’s voice softened as she reassured him, “Waylon, we just want you to be happy every day.”

Waylon was at a loss for words. He felt like an absolute fool.

“But hey, I’ve got my strengths too. I’m pretty good at steering public opinion online. Just look—Savannah and her family are getting torn apart right now!” Waylon pulled out his phone with a flourish. “Savannah’s family has been trying to cool things down, even going so far as to threaten the media. But I had a little chat with the queen beforehand. Those media outlets won’t buckle under pressure. The queen has got their backs.”

Madisyn scrolled through the comments online, and sure enough, the backlash was fierce.

Savannah’s once gentle, dignified image had been completely shattered, and rumors of her manipulating one of Lorpond’s wealthiest men only made the citizens despise her more.

“Savannah is so disgusting! We’ve been working so hard to improve relations with Lorpond, and here she is, trying to wreck everything!”

“She’s only doing this to help her father seize the throne, but I stand with the current king!”

“Me too!”

“It’s such a shame about Dottie, though. If she were healthy, I’d choose her in a heartbeat.”
