A Cue For Love

Chapter 1190 Begging Him

“Bastien, you should count your blessings that my ‘daughter’ loves you and is willing to plead for mercy on your behalf.” Spreading his hands, King continued with a smile, “Once I become the king of Loang, you will be my ‘son-in-law’ and continue to enjoy the privilege and luxury you have grown accustomed to. In fact, I can give you more than that. If you can marry Lunetta, I’m sure you can marry Helma too.”

Helma had a special place in King’s heart. Even though he didn’t acknowledge her as his real daughter, he couldn’t deny the strong biological bond that they shared. Therefore, he was willing to spare Bastien on Helma’s account since Mikhail was his true target.

After King had spoken, Helma walked up to Bastien’s side. Tugging on his suit, she persuaded him in a tone brimming with sincerity. “Bastien, did you hear that? As long as you marry me, he’s willing to let both of us off the hook. We can then be together and enjoy unparalleled riches! Therefore, you have to agree to his proposal. Do it quickly!”

Under the circumstances, no one could deny how tempting King’s offer was.

Even Frieda’s stance began to sway as she wanted her son to agree to Helma’s request.
