Chapter 235 - Gossips Regarding Ren And Fae

"So what happened then?" asked Altair attentively. "Has the owner of this cafe done nothing to protect his staff? We really like Fee and want to help her if we can. We happen to be opening a business in Almstad and we think Fae will be a very valuable staff for our company."

Upon hearing Altair's question, Ella unconsciously looked left and right. She wanted to make sure nobody saw her gossiping. She smiled broadly when she delivered the latest news that she had heard about Vega.

"The two of you are very nice, but I don't think you need to help Fae. Her life must be better now, and she is happy," said Ella.

"Why? Wasn't she fired because of the mayor's family pressure?" asked Altair.

"True, but that was eight months ago. As far as I know, Fae is living happily because she married Prince Renald Hanenberg, our own crown prince. I don't know where they met, but what is clear is that two weeks ago, there were so many pictures posted of her with Prince Renald on their honeymoon in Bali," said Ella excitedly. "Other people may not believe it's her, but I know for sure .. the girl in the photos must be Fae. I worked with her for a long time, and I saw her every day."

"Hmm ... if she married a prince, why didn't Renald teach the mayor who bullied Fee a lesson?" asked Elios irritably.

Ella shook her head. "I don't think the prince wants to attract attention. Because until now, he hasn't made any statements to acknowledge the truth of the rumors."

"Hmm .. is that so?" Altair nodded. "Very well. Hopefully, you are right and Fae is now living happily with her husband."

"I hope so. I can not reach her to ask directly about the truth of all the rumors," complained Ella. "It seems that her cell phone number has changed since she married Prince Renald and has become unreachable. As far as I know, that is the protocol of the royal family. The last time I contacted Fae was when she informed me that she got a good job at RMI."

"Thank you for your explanation," said Altair. "I'm glad that Fae is fine."

"Yes, of course. I hope the prince will announce his marriage soon so that Fae can quickly gain her legal status. Right now, the situation in Moravia is quite upsetting due to the shooting incident that occurred a few days ago."

"Shooting incident?" asked Elios, looking closely at Ella.

"Uhm ...you didn't know? Lady Amelia, who is Prince Renald's personal secretary was shot and died. Many people said that Lady Amelia was very jealous when she found out that Prince Renald had married an ordinary woman, and came to the penthouse where the Prince lived and shot him. She was killed by the prince's guard." Ella pressed her hands to her chest as she was still shocked by the news. Her face seemed to be filled with horror. "You must not know this news because you are from abroad, but over the past four days, the whole of Moravia has been shocked by the case."

Elios immediately recognized the name Amelia that Ella had told him. His brows furrowed, and his cold face was filled with rage.

How dare an ordinary woman like Amelia to want to claim her daughter's husband and feel jealous seeing Ren marry Vega? She was really courting death.

"Is Prince Renald badly injured?" asked Altair quickly. He was about to immediately open his cellphone and search for all the news that Ella had told her, but he held himself back and asked Ella everything first, to find out the girl's point of view.

"Ah, yes, that's right .. Prince Renald was seriously injured since he was shot in the stomach. Fortunately, Lady Amelia's shot did not hit his heart, and the prince's guards managed to shoot down Lady Amelia. Now the prince is still being treated in the emergency unit of Almstad International Hospital, while Lady Amelia's family alleged that their daughter was actually just the victim."

"Wow ... that was intense," Altair commented. "Thank you for all your stories, Miss Manager. We hope Fae will truly live a happy life and free from all this trouble. We think she is a very good girl."

"I hope so too," said Ella. She looked sad because it seemed that these two handsome men in front of her no longer needed her presence. However, Ella knew her place and then bowed slightly to excuse herself. "Then, I will leave you to enjoy your tea. If there's anything you want to ask again or order something, just wave. I'll come."

"Thank you." Altair nodded. He then exchanged glances with his father who seemed to still have resentment, even though his expression looked flat. Altair could recognize the look in his father's eyes with a killing intent if there was something that upset him. Especially if it was related to his family.

"I'll find the news," Altaïr said. He then opened his cellphone and read various news that discussed gossip in Moravia, starting with the leaking of vacation photos of Prince Renald and a mysterious, unknown woman.

Then slowly, various articles were posted to disclose the mysterious woman's identity. They called her Fae Muller who came from a small village by the lake called Rhine.

The most recent articles were the love story between Prince Renald with an ordinary woman, which ended in a shooting tragedy in the prince's penthouse. 

Ren was seriously injured, and doctors refused to comment on the severity of his injuries, while the perpetrator, Lady Amelia Genevieve died on the spot as a result of being shot by one of Ren's bodyguards.

Altair was even able to find a video of the shooting circulating on the internet. His brows furrowed as he saw in the footage how Amelia took out a gun from her handbag, while Ren walked slowly over to her and tried to calm Amelia down.

Amelia was seen crying and screaming and finally she shot Ren. Her hands were visibly shaking as she aimed the gun at Ren's left chest and instead shot him in the stomach.

Ren collapsed for only half a second before Amelia also collapsed to the floor with her head covered in blood. Someone had shot the girl in the back of her head.

Altaïr repeated the video and paid close attention to its content. He then handed his cellphone to Elios who was sipping his tea calmly.

"Father... take a look at this video," said Altair.

Elios received his son's cell phone and watched the video. His face seemed unfazed.

"I received an SMS from Ren a few days ago asking me to keep Vega away from the internet. He said he didn't want Vega to be stressed if she read news about Moravia," said Altair. "I thought Ren meant for Vega to concentrate on her recovery and not keep up with the news about his gossip in Moravia."

Elios raised his face and looked at Altair. "Then?"

"Uhm ... maybe this is actually what Ren meant," said Altair in a choked voice. "I don't know. Maybe it's just a coincidence, and I'm making my own guesses."

Elios smiled faintly. "This is too much to be a coincidence."

He looked at the video again and saw Amelia's trembling hands.

Hmm ... maybe Ren had punished Amelia before I came, Elios thought with satisfaction.

He returned Altair's cellphone and sat back in his chair, folding his arms over his chest.
