SWNOVELS Chapter 1634
Chapter 1634 Compensation
"Since when did this happen?" she asked solemnly.
It was unclear what the other person said on the phone, but Nancy's expression only seemed to worsen even more after hearing it.
"Understood. Use whatever means necessary to keep them on my side!" she said before hanging up.
The woman had been keeping an eye out ever since Aaron told her that the king was investigating the corruption and bribery. She wasn't expecting Dylan to seize that opportunity and win her people over. What on Earth are you trying to do, Dylan? Do you desire power that badly?
As Dylan was her only son whom she had raised herself, the thought of him forsaking their relationship made her rather uncomfortable.
Of course, Dylan was completely oblivious to her feelings as he was in a great mood after hearing the news from Sybil.
Wow, Lawrence sure is impressive! I can't believe he managed to get about half of them over to my side in just two weeks!
"Give Lawrence this card and have him bribe as many of them as possible," Dylan said while handing Sybil a bank card.
Sybil headed over to the Wynter residence immediately after receiving the bank card.
As he had been serving Dylan since he started with nothing and stayed by his side until he achieved success, Sybil felt glad that he didn't let the old king down.
Upon arrival at the Wynter residence, Sybil met up with Lawrence and explained his reasons for coming over.
"I have no use for this bank card at the moment. Don't worry; I'll be sure to ask His Majesty for it when I need more money." Lawrence refused the offer because Harvey already had a bank card from Dylan, and it was enough to last them a few years.
Thinking Lawrence had refused the card because he wanted to contribute to Dylan on his own, Sybil put it away. The two chatted for a bit before Sybil headed back to the palace and returned the card to Dylan
"I think General Lawrence wants to do his part, Your Majesty. I think you shouldn't stop him, or he might think you no longer need him," Sybil said as he handed Dylan the card.
Is this really for the better? I don't feel comfortable using my subordinates' money to do my bidding... Dylan frowned at the thought of that.
"If you feel bad for General Lawrence, you could compensate him after you've gained control. I'm sure he'd be happy with that arrangement too, Your Majesty," Sybil said. Dylan leaned against his chair as he pondered Sybil's suggestion.
After giving it some thought, he agreed with Sybil's statement and put the bank card away. "All right, then. I'll compensate him in the future."
Feeling happy that Dylan had agreed with his point, Sybil smiled as he said, "Your Majesty, Morrison has gathered some evidence on those who accepted bribes. When shall we produce the evidence?" Dylan broke into a smile upon hearing that. "That will have to wait. We don't want to alert anyone unnecessarily." The evidence is most useful when presented at the most critical moment! Sybil nodded and left the room shortly after.
Meanwhile, Alicia occasionally stayed over at that house ever since Aaron provided her with the keys and address. She even redecorated the dark and gloomy-looking room.
