The CEO's Woman

Chapter 387 Safe Place

Everyone in the room, including Jiang Yue, froze when they heard Gideon’s words.

What? Queen?

"Your Highness, what do you mean?" Secretary Jia asked, his gaze moving from the King to Jiang Yue, then back to the King again.

But before Gideon could answer, Carlisle rapidly stood up and approached him. "Father, what are you talking about? No one can match up to your importance. Let’s go to the bunker. I will accompany you." He said. Now, that Gideon had already told everyone that he was not his son, there was no way that he could get the throne from Gideon.

If that’s the case, then he would not allow Jiang Yue to have it either.

The Prime Minister instantly understood what Carlisle wanted to do. If Carlisle were not going to be the King, then his career was also over. Why not make it hard for other people to get the throne too? "His Highness must have been muddled because of his illness. He is just ..."

"Prime Minister... I have always thought that you are a smart person. Do you really think that I don’t have any idea of what you are doing?" Gideon smirked. "She is the only one in this room who has all the rights to sit on the throne."

"I will not leave this room without my daughter," He added firmly.

"Father!" Carlisle instantly objected. "How can you? You are the King of this country... We need to protect you from this attack!"

"The only protection that I need is against you and the whole Kim Family!" He blurted out angrily.

"How dare you cause harm to MY people?"

"Your Highness... what are you talking about... We..." The Prime Minister tried to reason with him, however, Gideon issued an order at that very moment.

"Detain them. I already have the list of all the people involved in this fiasco. Detain them." He ordered as he handed out a list to his lead guard.

The Prime Minister instantly panicked when he heard the King’s words.

What? A list?

"Your Highness... This is unjust!" He said. "You can’t detain us without any evidence at all!"

"Your Highness, you can’t do this to us!"

Some of the officials started objecting too. They thought that it was a very questionable decision. After all, the King was clearly sick and was under a lot of stress.

"Jiang Yue... release the evidence to the media." He said, his voice was not too loud but was loud enough for everyone to hear.

The Prime Minister and everyone involved in the planning of that incident almost choked on their own saliva.

Evidence?

They then turned their attention towards Jiang Yue who was frowning.

"Is this really a good time to do that? The power supply is already out. There is no way that your people will be able to see these proofs." She answered, clearly unimpressed by Gideon’s declaration a while ago.

She had already told him that she would not take on the responsibility of being the Queen. Yet, now, he even announced it to everyone. He even said it in front of his enemies.

Was this man purposely creating trouble for her?

However, she also understood the man’s concerns. Gideon was dying. That was a fact. If he was in a hurry, then it was possible that he did not have enough time anymore.

"I understand. You can release it once you are done with this attack. For now, I suggest that we go to the bunker to keep you safe." Gideon said, his gaze gentle. He really did not have enough time. Jiang Yue was the only hope that the Li family had left.

"You go. I will stay here," she said without batting an eye. She had clearly told this man that she was not interested in ruling a country.

"Jiang Yue... You... cough... cough..." Gideon’s words were interrupted by a series of coughs. Secretary Jia immediately went and support Gideon.

"He is burning... He has a fever. We need to immediately take him to a safe place." Secretary Jia frowned.

"I am not going..." still, Gideon insisted. "I have to keep Jiang Yue safe."

Jiang Yue helplessly look at the man in front of her. "I have already told you..."

"You are my daughter! I can’t leave you here alone!" Gideon interrupted her words. His words were loud and clear. His face was stern and full of determination. He needed Jiang Yue in that bunker with him. That was the only way that he could be assured about her safety.

Seeing Gideon’s ashen face, Secretary Jia immediately moved closer to Jiang Yue. "Miss Jiang, please... just accompany him to the bunker. He will be safe there. Please, leave the outside security to me."

"I..." she hesitated. "Do you have access to M Country’s satellite from your bunker?"

"Yes. We do..." Secretary Jia immediately nodded.

Jiang Yue contemplated for a while before she typed a series of codes on her laptop. She wanted to inform Fu Jin about that and the best way to do that was to give him access to the live feed of the current situation in the palace. After a while, she looked at the King who seemed to be struggling in his breathing.

"Then... let’s go."
