The First Heir

After several beeps, the call connected.

Fanny’s originally cold and pale face immediately changed as her voice now carried a flattering tone. “Dave, what’s the situation? Why didn’t we receive any advanced notice that our venues would be raided? And so many establishments of ours have been seized at once. Is there a special operation?”

A faint chuckle came from the other end of the line. “Lady Mae, what are you talking about? We’re doing our jobs seriously.”

Fanny’s face darkened, but she still said with a smile, “Dave, your words are a little unconvincing. Despite everything, you’re friends with our master. Why didn’t you inform us in advance?”

The words were not too harsh but contained a certain level of accusations.

“Lady Mae, do we have to notify you in advance before we do our jobs?”

The voice on the other end of the phone seemed unpleasant.

Suddenly, Fanny’s expression completely changed.

This Dave had to be hiding something from her!

“Dave, is it convenient for you to reveal who is targeting our master?”

Fanny was a shrewd person and quickly understood the implications.

There was silence on the other end of the phone before a lowered voice sounded. “Lady Mae, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but this time, I’m afraid even Master Cecil can’t avoid it. He has provoked someone who shouldn’t be provoked. I also just received a last-minute notice and couldn’t do anything about it.”

Did the master provoke someone?

Fanny panicked.
