Chapter 287: The next king

"What are those two up to?" Dani asked, seeing her mortal enemy together with Alex's cousin on the stage.

She did not know about Edward, but if Nick was in the picture. She guaranteed it could only mean bad news. Since she discovered what Nick was capable of doing, she had learned never to trust him.

"I have no idea, but I can bet it is not good." Alex eyed them, watching and listening attentively to what Edward was saying.

So far, Edward had not done anything ruining. He introduced Alex as his cousin and talked about Alex's youth and his many accomplishments. It sounded like he was boosting Alex's character to the crowd.

But Alex knew better to believe it that easily. He was waiting for the next shoe to drop. Based on experience, that was usually the case. Edward would play nice, and then he would surprise him with a bomb.

"What are we going to do?" Dani asked, hoping that those two dumb asses would not ruin the remainder of the night.
