Don't Try to Escape, My Wife! novel Chapter 1169

Sally was stunned for a moment as Samuel was quite straightforward.

"What is it?"

Sally smiled faintly and took a sip of tea from the teacup in front of her.

Samuel knew that he was blunt, but he had no intention to avoid. He asked, "Ms. Sally, you're such a powerful and well-connected lady in Country F over the years. I suppose that you should have some precautions if you were exposed. May I ask how you come to such wretched situation?"

Sally's hand trembled and a slight pain flashed in her eyes.

"Indeed, I had a back-up plan. I will not be in such situation even if I am exposed. But I didn't expect that a traitor is among my men. It's my fault. I would not be in such wretched situation if that traitor didn't betray Morgan and me."

Samuel did not say anything.

Indeed, the traitor was a good excuse. It was also a reason to explain why she was in such bad situation. However, it was a special period now. Samuel would only believe one third of what he heard and he would only be convinced by facts of the rest.

"You still don't believe me, do you?"

Sally knew that she showed up in the Seapolis City suddenly. Nicole and Samuel wouldn't believe her as they were vigilant.

She smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. Pretend that I didn't look for you. I'll deal with it by my own."

"Sally, we have never said that we won't help you. We've found you a house. Samuel and I just want to go to Country F. Major wanted to kill me. I got the news that he would attack me on the New Year's Eve. But nothing happened. It's not his style. Now you came back at this sensitive moment. We just ask you questions routinely."

Nicole said calmly with a light smile on her face.

Sally frowned tightly.

"I'm afraid that Major has no time to kill you."

"What do you mean?"

Both Samuel and Nicole were stunned.

Sally sneered and said, "Santino and Zayn fight with each other deadly and Major wants to take over. Santino spread the news not long ago that Zayn is a gay. He tried to destroy the marriage between Zayn and the daughter of Prime Minister. Indeed, Zayn is my son. Zayn was well prepared before Santino spread the news. As soon as the news came out, Zayn fought back right away. The battle between them started and it went intense. By this moment, someone revealed news about Major's background. It was said that he was Zayn's half-brother and Lillian was his biological mother. The king has begun to investigate now. Major is under house arrest. "

Hearing the news, both Nicole and Samuel paused for a moment.

Even they had known Major's identity and he would be used by Zayn for fighting against Santino. Zayn would have a chance to survive as long as he made a mess.

However, Nicole and Samuel didn't expect the news to spread so quickly.

Samuel was the first one to figure it out.

"Zayn has been in the entertainment industry for years and he is quite good at manipulating the media and public opinion."

Nicole nodded.

However, Sally said bitterly, "The king is investigating Major's background and he also puts Zayn and Santino under house arrest."

"Why?"

Nicole couldn't understand it.

Sally smiled bitterly and said, "The king has never trusted anyone. He likes neither Santino nor Zayn. Now, Major is his son. Once it is confirmed, perhaps the king's throne will be passed down to Major directly even if Zayn and Santino do not fight with each other."

"Why?"

Nicole felt that she could not digest it.

Sally looked outside. It snowed again.

She did not say anything. Samuel found some clues from her words.

"Did the king let Zayn fight with Santino on purpose?"

"What?"

Nicole was stunned and then asked, "How could he do it on purpose? Both Zayn and Santino are his sons!"

"They are the same to the king. None of them is precious to him. He let Santino and Zayn fight with each other intentionally. He needs someone to balance Santino's power since it has grown stronger these years."

Sally said indifferently and self-deprecatingly, "I always thought that I faked my death quite well. Now I realized that the king might have known it. He didn't get me exposed only because of Zayn. Zayn is my son. The king planned to let Zayn seize power and balance Santino's force. I'm not sure about others, but I will support and secretly help Zayn to achieve it. Then, even if all people are not in favor of Zayn, he and Santino still can reach a balance."

Nicole didn't understand politics well.

Weren't Zayn and Santino the king's sons?

The king encouraged Zayn to seize power in order to balance Santino's power.

What exactly was this?

Samuel had understood this.

"The king loves his throne the most. Let's put it in another way. He doesn't want to pass his throne down to anyone. That's why he allows his sons to balance themselves. This is the king's game. He needs to ensure that the government is balanced evenly."

Sally was stunned since Samuel figured it out so quickly. Then, Sally said with a smile, "Men know men well. I thought I successfully covered my fake death these years. I didn't expect that I have been schemed against by the king from the very beginning. He started his plan from the moment of my fake death. He allowed Zayn to stay away for so many years. The king knew well the relationship and affections between Zayn and Pedro. He stood aside. In the end, he even allowed Major to kill Pedro. It aroused Zayn's anger and he had no choice but to go back to seize power for revenge. The king has plotted everything. I am suddenly scared. I would never have survived until now if he wanted me to die long time ago. There is a traitor among my people now and he is the king's man. The king wants me to die this time. "

Sally said sadly.

It was so desperate that her beloved man wanted to kill her. Moreover, this man was a person with great power.
