Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 668

Tiffany continued speaking after that. "Your benefits are way higher than your risks here. If we succeed, we'll join forces and enjoy our victory together. If we fail, then… No. I believe we wouldn't fail with the power that you have, Prince Zac."

"Hahaha…" Zac tilted his head back to laugh when he heard her words. However, she couldn't seem to understand what was going on in his mind when she looked into his eyes, which looked like endless pits of darkness. "You're a smart woman, Miss Larson. How are you sure that I'm not going to fail?" Zac always knew about the grudge Tiffany held against Veronica, but he never knew how greedy and wild she was.

"Everyone knows how powerful the prince is. There's no need for you to be all humble. Also, perhaps you don't know this, but I saw the primary prince, Alfred, heading over to meet that person," Tiffany stated. Alfred Francis was the primary prince of Castron, and he was the king's favorite son. Zac was just the secondary prince, and the king's love for him was merely superficial. There had been an unspoken rivalry between Zac and Alfred for years now, and they never got along with each other. The 'person' that Tiffany was referring to was the mysterious person whom Tiffany had the honor to meet a few times.

As expected, Zac's expression darkened the moment he heard Tiffany's words. He knitted his brows together and clenched his fist with his cigarette still between his fingers. Tiffany glanced at his posture and noticed how furious he was. At that moment, she knew that she was on her way to succeeding with her plan. She pulled her phone out to validate the statement that she had just made. "I'm sure you're familiar with this place, Prince Zac," she uttered while showing him the surveillance camera footage.

The video showed Alfred appearing in a part of the castle. He hurried over to the main hall of Antheena's castle. Zac's muscles were tense as he glared at the footage with a burning hatred in his eyes. After being silent for a long while, he finally spoke. "How should I know if I can trust you as a partner?"

"We'll be able to rely on each other as long as we know that our success will give us what each of us wants. After all, I'll still need your help in the future, and you're not going to lose anything by helping me now." Tiffany had brought up the matter of her seeing Alfred in Antheena's castle because it indicated that he was forming a partnership with someone. In other words, if Zac didn't seize the opportunity that Tiffany was offering him, he would lose to Alfred. If that happened, Alfred would naturally be the first and obvious choice as their next king.

Zac hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Tiffany's offer. Both of them started working on their plan.

…

Two nights later, Destiny and Crayson left to discuss and decide on their plan to return to the hidden clan. Veronica and Thomas had gone to the outskirts where the private detective agency was. They wanted to check out the situation there. However, as they were on their way back, the vigilant Thomas realized that someone was following them.

"We're being trailed, Mrs. Kings," he announced. Veronica had a laptop on her thighs, and the laptop consisted of all sorts of data that Yvette had sent to her. She was too focused on reading one of the reports, so she didn't even bother to lift her head up. "Get rid of them," she ordered. She had been through too much to even feel surprised by her situation at that point. Naturally, she was no longer that little girl who would panic when encountering such matters.

"Got it." Thomas floored the gas pedal, and Veronica felt her body being thrown backward. She knitted her brows together in response to her back being pressed against her seat, and she shut her laptop as she figured that she wouldn't be able to work in that situation.

Screech… Bang! All of a sudden, two sedans appeared in front of them, and Thomas had no choice but to hit the brakes. The car behind them was speeding, so it slammed directly into the rear of their car. Veronica's body was thrown forward, and her head struck the dashboard on the passenger's side. She saw stars for a moment.

"Are you okay, Mrs. Kings?" Thomas asked frantically. "I'm fine." She waved him off before opening the car and getting out of it.
