Chapter 170

Greg was genuinely shocked at the old couple’s revelation but the Duke nonetheless shook Lord Kylton’s hand as he told his animal, “Please tell me he’s joking.” His animal prompted him to keep the conversation going with Lord Kylton to learn more about what they didn’t know.

Greg narrowed his eyes in suspicion and asked the old man, “What’s the customer code I have to cite in transactions?”

His Lordship seemed impressed and said, “Good thing I checked that this morning. 130996GC_LC. Access name: Chameleon. But I’ll admit right now that we’ve never spoken over the phone in your transactions, your Grace. We have our customers’ personal information but the uh…rogue Alpha handles the communications and customers’…requests.”

So, Greg had been communicating with only the manager of the rogue corporation this whole time, not its founders. Greg nodded as he intemalized this fact, and released Lord Kylton’s hand as he muttered, “A very successful business you have.”

Lord Kylton patted Greg on the shoulder like a friend, and Greg tried to mask his discomfort and urge to tear the man to shreds. Unless he was having sex, no one had the right to touch Greg Claw.

We had the idea of taking government funds after the King wrongfully refused our daughter’s hand but we didn’t have a link, someone who could provide us with the necessary access and individuals who could be our patsies. You were that link, your Grace. You gave us the ministers’ names and told us who to target, asking nothing but a small commission in return For that, we cannot thank you enough.”

His wife added, “It would’ve been difficult to get those ministers and Helena here to help us in our plan if we didn’t have you to encourage them to join us, your Grace, seeing that we wished to remain anonymous.”

Greg admitted, “To be very honest, I thought I was helping someone less…” he looked around the sophisticated interior design of the
