Genius Girl

Chapter 245 - 245: Ken\'s Leverage

"If you are really royal, why are you here?"

The woman remained her lips sealed, refusing to answer his question.

"Hey! Answer me!" Ken yelled. His hands were itching to choke her to death. Evan had given his bank details to Jared\'s accountant and now he had lost millions because of this woman.

"Answer me or I am going to lock you up in the cage with that albino gorilla."

The woman then looked at the cage which was delivered in the hotel room together with her. Though inside of the cage was an albino gorilla growling and pumping fists on the metal cage.

But the woman remained silent, her eyes shone with the determination of keeping her lips sealed.

So, Ken gave her a lopsided grin. Slowly, he walked towards her with clenched fists.

"You have asked for it. Just to warn you, I am in business with Jared so you can imagine what I am capable of," he said in a cold tone while his eyes focused at her.

When he was only one step away from her, the woman parted her lips.

"I came here looking for someone," she said in a void tone.

Ken narrowed his eyes. Wondering if the person she was looking for were so important that she came and risked her own life just to find that person.

"Who is this person?" he asked crossing both arms over his chest.

"I can\' tell you."

"Fine, I hope you know gorilla\'s luggage because you will be spending time-"

"Fine," the woman\'s voice rose a bit, "my auntie. I came here because someone tipped me off that my Auntie and my cousin are living here."

Ken blew out a sigh. He didn\'t really care about her family drama but if Jared spent his time capturing this royal, it must mean that she was important.

"Does Jared know about your family?"

With narrowed eyes, the woman\'s lips curled upward bitterly, "why do you think I was sold? That man is my cousin\'s half brother Brent. Brent McSalter."

Ken for a moment was stunned. The last name sounded so familiar but he just couldn\'t point out where he heard it.

\'Finally. I have found Jared\'s weakness.\'

No one knew who Jared was, all they knew was that he was adopted and raised by Kim.

"If he was your cousin. Why did he sell you out?" even though he was given new information, he was still a bit sceptical.

"Because his half-sister was the true heir of Galla. Some things happened in the past. I thought they had died a few years ago, I got an Intel that they are still alive so I investigated and all the evidence pointed me here."

It all made sense to him now. But it was not enough information for him. He needed more, especially about Jared\'s half-sister. If he found her, he could use her to as leverage.

"So, Brent McSalter is Jared\'s real name," he chuckled victoriously, "what is the sister name?" he asked.

The woman bit her lips while her nose wrinkled with annoyance, "I have never seen her but in Galla\'s birth record, her name is Novie McSalter."

By that name, Ken\'s heart pounded hard. He gulped hard, he was certain that he had heard that name.

"What do you want to do when you find them?"

The woman fell into silence for a moment before taking a long breath, "I guess there is no reason for me to hide it anymore. If Galla finds out that the real heir, Novie McSalter is still alive, they will throw me out and reign her as the new Queen of Galla."

Ken watched as the woman clenched her fists fumingly on her laps, "I have worked hard to get where I am. I am not going to let a woman who probably doesn\'t even know where Galla is to take my throne."

"Where is Galla anyway?" Ken asked. He was geographically illiterate and he was not planning to learn and waste his time memorizing the countries.

The woman looked at him dumbfounded, "it\'s a small country next to Tenerife. Get a map mister."

Ken rose a brow by her tone. Suddenly his patience ran out. So he grabbed her petite wrist and threw her inside the cage.

The woman screamed and was horrified after getting thrown into the cage while the gorilla was shouting by her presence.

He sat comfortably on the couch and enjoyed the terrified woman as she tried to escape the gorilla.

Now that he has information about Jared, he can finally have the confidence to do business with him. Especially, now that he knew whom Jared cared about so much.

He grabbed his phone and took a video of the cage with the gorilla inside chasing the woman. Then, he sent it to Evan with a smiley emoticon and words saying \'this is more entertaining than the fight earlier.\'

Inside the car, Evan was still and quiet while Daniella was glaring at him. He was unsure where they were going but he heard Peyton saying port and ship.

Then his phone buzzed, Evan was so scared to take it and check the message.

"Open it."

He gulped hard by Daniella\'s cold voice. Then he took his phone out and about to open it when Daniella snatched it away from him.

"I am going to destroy your company, Evan. Then I will burn your villa and all of your bank branches. All of your money will turn into ashes."

Daniella muttered those words with anger while her fingers pressed the number to unlock the phone.

Her eyes squinted when she saw that there was an attachment in the message. Before opening it, she looked at Evan with narrowed eyes.

"Do you have something to confess before I open this message?"

Evan swallowed hard and nodded, "there are too much that happened I think it\'s better if you kiss me."

And with that, Daniella expression flattened.

"Do you really think I am that stupid?" she said in the same angry voice.

Evan shook his head. He parted his lips to tell the story of how he met the girl on the plane and why did he spend money to save her.

Hearing the amount, Daniella has suddenly felt her ears burning.

"Evan Su. You. I am going to torture you once all of this is done. Do you understand!" she yelled with full anger. Her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths while nerves in her neck popped angrily.

Evan nodded obediently. Seeing that she had finally released all of her emotion, he pulled her closer to embrace. With his chin resting on her head, he whispered, "I miss you too."

Daniella pumped a fist on his chest but she remained in his embrace. With her face buried in his chest, she smiled discreetly.
