The Hidden Princess At All-Boys Alpha Academy novel Chapter 317

Chapter 0317

Passively, some part of me is very grateful that Gran speaks a different language from us - I want her to remember this as a nice day, not as the horrible afternoon it already is.

"You can bring along any lawsuit you want," Bruce says, giving a casual shrug as he meets Rafe's eye. "I didn't do anything illegal. Can't sue me for libel, I didn't say anything that wasn't true."

"You sold a story that wasn't yours," Rafe points out, taking an aggressive step towards him. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"Luca's story too, not just your girl's, just because she's high class -"

"Watch yourself," Jesse snaps, stepping forward to glare at Bruce.

"All right," Grant says, slowly raising his hands and silently admitting that he's crossed a line. "You got me there, that was a step too far towards disrespect. But Luca passed me power of attorney for all decisions regarding his public image years ago," he says, gesturing over at his nephew.

Luca's face goes a bit pale as he realizes that this is true, his mouth falling open.

"And," Grant says, "all I said was that Luca was mated to Princess Ariel. It was a story about him, about his life. I have every right to do that."

Rafe takes a deep breath and I see the thoughts passing over his face. He frowns because he's a bit out of his league here when it comes to these sorts of laws. "I'm not sure we're too worried about the specifics," Rafe says evenly, dismissing Bruce's point. " What it comes down to, sir, is that you made an enemy of a very powerful man today, not to mention his entire family. I'm not sure you'll find moving in this world very easy while Dominic Sinclair looks at you with disapproval."

"Well," Bruce says with a sigh, lifting his chin a bit while he meets Rafe's gaze, clearly holding his stance. "I've operated long enough in this world without Dominic Sinclair looking my way at all. So, we'll have to see how the future goes, whether or not the King approves of me." Bruce shifts his eyes to Luca now, who is still looking at him, devastated. "I did what I did for my boy here. And if I go down having put a significant sum in his pocket, and setting him on the right path for his future?" He nods once, steady. "I'll take it."
