Release That Succubus

Chapter 410 Chapter 410 Suggestion

She had never been able to live a normal life or act like a child. However that had changed a lot now.

Now she didn't have to worry about that any longer.

With Zach there she knew that all of her fears were unnecessary as he was able to keep them protected.

She was able to live the life that she had only ever imagined in her dreams before.

She could act like a normal person and go about a normal life without the fear of others catching her. It was perfect. Almost too perfect but she couldn't have asked it any other way.

She owed a lot to the Smith family and she knew that although she would never be able to repay them that he would do her part to ensure that they stayed afloat.

She knew that part that she had to play and she was going to cast aside her princess title in order for her to play her role amongst the family.

Zach had been trying to spend the last few days trying to keep himself calm.

He held the confidence that he would be able to defeat his enemies by being better than them.

Bruce was hard at work to ensure that Zach's idea was put in motion. However things weren't working out as easily as he had thought.

He had holed that he would be able to get everything sorted out and have the matters delt with without the other family members getting to know about it.

However after a few days carol could tell that there was something that had shifted and she decided that it was time for her to approach him so that she could tell him about what she had observed.

She found him in his office once more as he stood overlooking the workers.

The moment that she walked through the door he couldn't help but tense up slightly as he instantly knew that it was her.

"what is it?" her asked her as he slowly turned around to face her.

"I know that we have been having a bit of trouble recently." She said to him and he stiffened slightly.

He didn't want to discuss the matters with her, "I don't know what you are talking about." He said to her calmly.

She let out a sigh from her lips as she shook her head at him before she took a step forward. She approached the seat that was in front of his table before she sat down in it tentatively.

"I know that you think that you are smart and that you think that you can hide what is going on from us but I have noticed the increase of sugar production in the market from the competitors. I know that there is something that isn't adding up and I have a theory of who is behind it." She said to him as she quirked an eyebrow at him.

He looked towards her impassively at first before smirking as he decided to entertain her for a moment. "and what is it that you were able to tell?" He asked her.

She rolled her eyes at him in response as she came to realize that he was intending to tease her.

"Well I have been looking at recent business activities and I have looked over the books. I have been able to track back the origins of some of the other sugar companies. They are all linked to one investor and I have reason to believe. That investor is using a pseudonym and the real person who is behind it is the royal family." She said to him.

He had a twinkle in his eye because the truth was that he was already aware of the information, however he decided to entertain her for a moment longer, "and so what does that mean." He asked her.

She couldn't help but grit her teeth as she didn't appreciate his impassive tone.

She stood up from her seat as she said to him, "Well it means that the enemy that you are going against is the royal family. They are the ones who are trying to jeopardize everything." She said f to him loudly.

He hummed at her in response as he raised his hand to rub his chin. "And what does that mean now?" He said to her and she could tell that he was trying to tease her. However it was something that he didn't particularly appreciate.

"it means that you can't win against then. I know how you are and you are probably going to go after them. The royal family isn't just any enemy and you will lose. This is a bad idea and if I were you I would back down now." She said to him in a calm tone.

"I am glad to see that you have so little fate in me." he said to her dryly as he tried to turn away from her. She was starting to irritate him and he wanted to be done with the conversation.

"I know that you are stubborn and the last thing that you want is for me to tell you that you are wrong. However I am only looking out for you and you km ow that this more than just about the business. If you win the business battle then that isn't going to be enough. They are going to come after you in other ways .They are always going to have their eye out for you and they will not stop coming for you. Because you know that for them you are like a prickly thorn that is stuck in their side and they aren't going to stop until they are able to pull you out completely." She said to him firmly.

He gritted his teeth at her not wanting to hear the rest of what she had to say. He knew that she was right but he didn't want to admit it to himself or for him to say it out loud.

"Well then, I guess you want me to just sit around and do nothing whilst the y destroy everything for the Smith family. I thought you cared for the Smith family." He said to her as he cocked his head to the side.

He watched as she shook her head at him in response before she spoke up again. " You don't understand. I am not doing this because I don't like the Smith family or I want something cruel to befall them. I am doing this mainly because I care about the Smith family. I know that if you continue to play around with the royal family they won't stop until they destroy you and they destroy the Smith family as well. If you carry on there will not be any Smith family for you to protect because this is going to be responsible for tearing down any sort of future that they might have. Don't think about yourself for just a moment. How about you think about how this would affect them and what it would mean for them." She said to him in a pleasing tone.

"Well I see then. So what am I supposed to do. I can't just sit around and do nothing and they have already put their plans in motion. You don't think that they are going to just magically change their mind and go back on their plans." He said to her as he crossed his arms over his chest.

He watched as a small smile made its way onto her features and she had to admit that she hadn't expected him to say that. For a moment she wondered whether he was starting to come around because of her words.

"That is why you are the one who has to make the first move now. You have to make the first move towards making peace with them. you have to admit defeat and want them to stop by offering them something that they want so that you both can stop battling it out. Because it isn't just affecting you it is affecting all of those that are around you." She said to him firmly.

Zach was quiet after that and she didn't say anything to her at first. Carol wasn't one to show much interest in the business and he hadn't expected her to have much keen insight into it.

He understood where she was coming from and why she feared for what would happen. Despite his own better judgement. He knew that she was right and that things weren't going to end well if he continued to push the royal family.

They had the money and the power to destroy the Smith's completely and that was the last thing that he would ever want.

He knew that she didn't have the entire context of what was going on but she was able to come to a decent conclusion on her own.

He knew that she cared about the Smith's a lot and whatever she was to decide to do she would do it in order to protect them because she truly cared about them in the end.

He couldn't deny the fact that he was somewhat impressed by her approach.

However he knew that the reason why she had said that to him was because she didn't know what had happened to Christina. And he didn't blame her for that.

However he also knew that she was persistent had that she would continue to press him on the matter unless he explained the situation to her.
