Chapter 164: A Familiar Contract.

Payne Estate...

Gregory's study...

Just like many others in the city, Gregory knew of all that happened in the city on that day and while he had always suspected, NAY, being convinced of Hal's guilt, he was still surprised the Plebeian alliance would attack him.

Even worse, he won!

"It would seem, you really have something I want" Gregory said and a smile stretched over his face.

In less than a week, there was going to be an important event in the city, or more accurately, a very public event which has been made so by Marlon Edgar.

He was getting remarried to his wife.

Gregory did not know why they would pick such a precarious time to get hitched but he wished to have carried out his wishes by then.

"Burt" he called and the butler walked into the study barely a second later.

"Yes, Master" Burt bowed.
