Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: Scarlett Is Officially Imprisoned!
"Proceed with legal proceedings, but keep it low-key."
Proceed with legal proceedings, but keep it low-key? Huo Yi wasn’t stupid; a quick thought and he understood what she meant.
It meant that Scarlett was definitely going to prison, but it wouldn’t be made public to the media. The royal family would conceal this scandal somehow, and they wouldn’t notify the media about it.
"Duke Habsden..."
As if knowing what he was going to ask, Chi Enen answered without letting him finish, "Little Uncle and Prince William are discussing business matters."
Prince William hopes that the Habsden family will not suspend trade with Country W, but on this matter, Little Uncle is particularly persistent. It’s unclear what the final outcome of their negotiation will be. Anyway, Chi Enen wasn’t worried about Quan Dongting suffering any loss because she knew her Little Uncle’s ability!
Huo Yi’s only concern was also laid to rest. He seemed even more nervous than Chi Enen, letting out a long breath. His stern face showed a look of relief, "Finally, things are satisfactorily resolved. It only took 5 days, with 25 days left until the one month promised to Old Master Jue. The Little Young Master and Little Miss would certainly be very happy to know."
Especially the Little Young Master; he would definitely be the happiest of all.
Chi Enen relaxed her eyebrows and eyes, rubbed her previously tense cheeks, and said, "I’m afraid not so quickly; I still have some follow-ups to handle. It’ll only count as resolved once everything is completely dealt with."
"By the way, does Li Beijue know about this incident?" She suddenly remembered and asked.
The question left Huo Yi stunned. He then realized that since he first met Chi Enen, he had forgotten to report to Master Jue that Miss Chi was safe and sound.
It wasn’t until Chi Enen mentioned it that he remembered Master Jue...
Huo Yi’s back stiffened, a flash of regret crossed his face as he quickly said, "Master Jue... Master Jue... already knows about your risky actions, Miss Chi."
"Li Beijue knows?!" Chi Enen imagined the reaction of that man upon finding out what she had done, and she felt terrible all over.
"Here’s what happened: after you had a ’car accident,’ Master Jue called you, but you didn’t answer. So, he called me..." He paused, looking guiltily at Chi Enen, "I tried to hide it from Master Jue for you, but he found out anyway. I’m sorry, Miss Chi."
Chi Enen could imagine the phone call, someone relentlessly questioning and shouting.
It’s normal for Huo Yi not to withstand it.
If it were her, she might not have held up under that man’s overbearing questioning.
But now, Li Beijue knowing means... she’s screwed.
With his personality, he’s definitely angry. Once back in the country, he will surely settle accounts with her. By that time, she’ll probably be in a lot of trouble.
Chi Enen only felt an intense headache, and the injury on her left leg also started to hurt. She twitched the corner of her mouth, her smile weakening, "It’s okay, I’ll give him a call later to explain."
However, whether Li Beijue would even listen to her explanation was uncertain.
Most likely, calling him would only result in a round of loud scolding.
At this time, Huo Yi hesitated for a moment, then said with a puzzled voice, "Before picking up Miss Chi, Master Jue called me four or five times, but then he stopped calling."
Chi Enen instinctively looked at him, waiting for him to continue.
Sure enough, Huo Yi continued, "In the last call, I heard what seemed like gunshots on Master Jue’s end. I don’t know if I heard wrong, but it really sounded like gunshots."
