Chapter 689: Chapter 690 Three Women (5)

Will rummaged through the drawer, found a thin cord, and strung the cross on it to hang around his neck, tucking it close to his body.

Wearing it there, the girl wouldn’t have a chance of finding it unless she stripped him bare.

In a high-end hotel suite several floors away, Qian Xueying languidly reclined on the lounge chair on the balcony, gently swirling the red wine in her glass.

Xiuyi stood behind her, reporting the latest news he had gathered.

"The election?" Qian Xueying put down her wine glass, "A woman aspiring to become President... Gan Yuan really has great ambition! I originally thought Moses was a smart man, but now it seems he’s nothing but an idiot controlled by emotions, wasting so much money on something that’s bound to fail. How foolish."

"Yes!" Xiuyi said as he topped up her glass with wine, "However, things are not going smoothly. There was a Liberal Party internal meeting this morning, and Marquis Smith has formally proposed his daughter Annie as the party’s representative. Right now, both sides must be using all their tricks, desperately trying to outdo each other."

"Annie?" Qian Xueying’s lips curled slightly, "Good, that means I have just gained two more allies."

"Miss means to say..." Xiuyi brought the glass back to her hand, "You want to form an alliance with them?"

"Of course not!" Qian Xueying gently swirled her glass, bringing the wine to her nose for a sniff, "Don’t forget, I am the woman who is going to be the Queen of A Country. How could I form an alliance with people from F Country? Marquis Smith has deep roots in F Country, and he had previous conflicts with Gan Yuan. He will certainly not let her succeed this time. Gan Yuan couldn’t possibly win over Annie. We just need to sit back and watch things unfold. Right now, the most important task is to secure Huangfu Jue quickly."

Annie and Huangfu Jue once had a rumored affair, and Qian Xueying was also acquainted with Annie, who had been mentioned several times before by Nancy about Annie’s thoughts on Huangfu Jue.

Unlike Gan Yuan, Annie is a true celebrity and socialite, who is now running for President, and she matches Huangfu Jue in terms of social standing and lineage.

At this critical time when Huangfu Jue is single, Qian Xueying had finally managed to drive Gan Yuan away from his side, and she was not about to give Annie this excellent opportunity.

"Let them fight and weaken each other," Qian Xueying tasted her wine and her lips revealed a smug smile, "while I... will use this time to win the favor of the Duke. As for Gan Yuan, hmph... once I secure Huangfu Jue, I will slowly play with her!"

"That’s a wise perspective, Miss," said Xiuyi as he put down the wine bottle, "Should I make the arrangements now?"

Qian Xueying nodded, "Remember, this must be foolproof; even if the plan fails, nobody must trace it back to us."

"Rest assured," Xiuyi smiled coldly, "I will follow your orders and contact Red Flame’s assassins. By then, the Duke will only suspect Moses."

"Exactly!" Qian Xueying also smiled, "Then, the feud between him and Gan Yuan will grow deeper and deeper, making it impossible for them ever to return to the way things were."

As Xiuyi left the room, she once again brought the wine glass to her lips and sipped the wine contentedly.

"Gan Yuan, Annie... hmph, you two are merely self-proclaimed geniuses... One day, I will trample all of you underfoot, obtaining what you desire but cannot have, making all women in the world envy me! Ha..."

With thoughts of triumph, Qian Xueying let out a loud and hearty laugh.

See you tomorrow :)
