The Silent 566

566.Chapter 566

Eliza had concocted two bowls of poison, both with identical effects, but the reason she made them appear as two different choices was to sow discord. The relationship between Rafe and Louisa seemed strained.

So, Eliza and Nolan decided to push their relationship further into disarray, all while testing their behavior.

In the end, it became clear that Louisa appeared to be more difficult to handle, but the real challenge lay in Rafe, who could bend when needed but also strike when necessary.

"I'll keep an eye on them, as well as on the situation in Centrina City. You go ahead and deal with Jefferson and the Malone family," Eliza told Nolan.

With these two hostages in hand, dealing with the situation on the other side should become much easier.

However, what Eliza didn't know at the moment was that in Centrina City, a certain "old acquaintance" of hers was sitting with Jefferson in the governor's mansion, sipping coffee and playing chess.

"I didn't expect Anthony to be such a talent. Today's game truly impressed me," Jefferson said, smiling as he stroked his goat beard.

Anthony, sitting in his wooden wheelchair, humbly replied, "Mr. Malone, you flatter me. Had you not allowed me those three moves, I wouldn't have been able to win this game."

"Ah, but I am thirty years older than you, and I have studied chess for many more years. Without conceding those three moves, even if I won, it would not have been a fair victory," Jefferson said, laughing.

Anthony smiled but said nothing.

His humble attitude was apparent, yet it didn't escape Jefferson's notice-the subtle arrogance in the young man's demeanor.
