Chapter 60

When Alfred Kingston returned home, Jasmine was already waiting anxiously by the front door.

As soon as he stepped inside, she rushed forward and embraced him tightly.

"Thank God you're safe, Father," she whispered, relief evident in her voice.

Alfred hugged her back, his grip firm. "And you as well, my dear. I was worried."

He pulled back and looked into her eyes.

"Come inside; there's something important we need to discuss."

They moved to the living room, the soft glow of the fireplace casting warm shadows across the room.

Once seated, Alfred turned to her with a grave expression.

"Jasmine, what I'm about to tell you must remain between us. Can you promise me that?"

She nodded, concern knitting her brow. "Of course, Father. What's going on?" He took a deep breath, gathering his thoughts.

"You know that our family holds significant influence here in Vancouver. We've always been loyal to the new king, carrying out their directives faithfully."

Jasmine nodded, remembering the turbulent times when the new king fought the old one for control of the country.

Her father had chosen to support the new king, and in the end, the new ruler had

won.

Alfred's eyes met hers, a hint of excitement breaking through his seriousness. "The king has asked me to take over operations in Los Angeles."

Jasmine's eyes widened. "Are you serious?"

Their country had twelve major cities, each one controlling different parts of the land.

Vancouver was ranked last-city number twelve-filled with poverty, slums, and the least education among all the cities.
