The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 289

Mischa just nodded and did not say another word.

It was true, all RMIs were Elios’ personal property, he and his foster siblings were only trusted to take care of it while Elios decided to resign from the world and focus on his family.

But just as Caspar Schneider would one day return with a new identity and replace his son, London, to take care of the Schneider Group while London resigned and changed identity, one day, Elios could return.

Currently, London Schneider was almost 40 years old. It was time for him to resign from the world because his face still looked like that of a young man in his 20s. This would raise suspicion. Soon, Caspar would come forward and replace his son with his new identity.

Mischa and his siblings, even Terry had decided that they would resign next year. Mischa’s age in the eyes of the world was almost 48 years old, and Terry was 45 years old. They could not keep claiming to be youthful at the age of nearly 50.

Next year, Altair had to lead the group if Elios did not want to come back. The same case for Vega, if she was interested in working at RMI, she would be prepared to become one of the leaders in RMI.

“You don’t agree with my decision?” asked Elios, looking at Mischa sharply.

“No, Sir. What you are doing is teaching people a lesson, according to the error they have done and the extent of damage they have caused. You punish them in accordance with the amount of disappointment you are experiencing because of their actions. I can surely understand your decision,” replied Mischa. He poured the tea back into his cup and drank it without saying another word.

Meanwhile, Ren, who was about to leave his office, was suddenly startled by the arrival of a guest that he didn’t expect at all.

“Your Highness…” The girl’s voice sounded very sad.

Ren stood upright looking at the young woman in front of him who seemed to have been waiting for him in the office lobby for a long time.

“Who lets just anyone get into this building?” Ren asked in a curt voice towards the security guard who was guarding the lobby. The man walked over and scratched his head with an expression of regret.

“Your Highness… I don’t have the heart. I’ve been trying to get rid of her, but this girl keeps crying. She has been here for hours and begged to be allowed to wait for Your Highness here,” said the security guard in a low voice. He looked very uncomfortable.

“Your Highness… please forgive me. It is not the fault of the good officer. I was the one who insisted to wait here,” said the girl with tears in her eyes. “I-I’m here .. because I want to beg for forgiveness from you.”

Ren crossed his arms on his chest and looked at the woman with displeasure. “Forgiveness for what?”

Franka Keller wiped her tears and spoke haltingly. “I want to apologize … for my past actions toward your wife. I’m really sorry that I treated her badly while she was working at my family’s resort in the Rhine…”

Ren narrowed his eyes at the girl’s words. He had no memory of the young woman standing in front of him with tears in her eyes. But after she mentioned the resort in Rhine, Ren’s memory returned to the past when he came to the resort and “met” Vega there.

He remembered that Franka Keller was the youngest daughter of a resort owner who was sent to Rhine to be a director there. Envious of Vega’s beauty, the girl deliberately transferred Vega from her job as a receptionist to a cleaner.

Actually, Ren had thought about teaching that woman and her whole family a lesson, but he was busy and postponed it, thinking it was not a priority. He thought that punishing Franka for what she did to Vega at that time was not an urgent matter.

Then, why did Franka suddenly come to see him and apologize? Did something happen?

“Why are you apologizing to me?” asked Ren in an icy voice. “The person you bullied isn’t me.”

“R-right. Your Highness, you are right … I should have apologized to Fae Muller in person, but I couldn’t find her. After I found out from the news and your press conference earlier that Miss Muller is your wife … then I immediately decided to come here and look for Your Highness… so that you would be willing to convey my apologies to her .. Or tell me, where I can find her … so I can go and apologize in person …”

Ren thought something must have happened that made this spoiled child of the Keller family come begging to him, asking for Vega’s forgiveness.

Did the Linden family already know what Franka did to Vega so they punished her severely … and now the Keller family thought that Ren was the one who targeted them?

The man indifferently took out his cell phone and researched the latest news about the Keller family and their business. Franka’s arrival made him curious. He opened a search engine and researched news about the family.

There was no way someone like Franka would come to apologize unless something really bad had happened.

“Huh … so that was the case.” Ren could tell that there was no way Franka’s apology could be sincere.

She must be like this because the condition of her family was so bad. She must have suspected that the attacks on her family’s business were caused by Ren because Franka had bullied Vega while working at Rhine.

“I can’t tell you where my wife is. Her health condition is bad at the moment and she wants to rest in peace without being disturbed by anyone. I will send your apologies to her,” said Ren curtly as he put away his cell phone.

Franka hurriedly tried to chase him when she saw that Ren was about to step out of the lobby.

“Your Highness… please, forgive my mistakes and send my apology to your wife… and let our business survive. There are many people whose lives depend on our business…” Franka cried again. “I’ve learned my mistakes. I’ll never do that to anyone again.”

“Miss Keller …” Ren glared at Franka. “Even if I want to help you, I can’t do anything about it. You have offended a man who is far more powerful than me and he is merciless. Think of your family as having bad luck for having a child like you who brings ruin to your family business.”

“W-what …? What did Your Highness say just now?” Franka couldn’t believe her ears. There could be no one else who hated her family and destroy them so mercilessly but that girl’s husband, right?

Did she misunderstand all this by suspecting that everything happening to her family’s business was caused by what she had done to Fae Muller? Did she come and beg for forgiveness to the wrong person?

Then … what mistakes did they commit to cause such great punishment to their family? Who have they offended?

“You have ears, right?” asked Ren curtly. “I didn’t do it.”

“Oh …” Franka finally nodded limply. She then asked, “Then, who did all this?”

“What do you mean?”

“I mean …who have we offended that we deserve to be punished like this? If not His Highness’ wife …then … who?”

Ren smiled sarcastically when he heard the question which he thought was the most stupid question ever.

“You did bully my wife, but before I could punish you and your entire family, her father had done it first,” Ren replied finally. “Actually, I’m too lazy to talk to you, but I think you need to know who that scary person you have offended by what you did to Fae Muller.”

“Her… her father? Isn’t Fae Muller an orphan? She has no family, other than you …” Franka said with a confused expression. “I don’t understand.”

Ren looked closely at Franka Keller until the girl unconsciously stepped back. Somehow, Franka was getting more frustrated by Ren’s attitude.

Ren then spoke slowly, as if he wanted to make sure Franka heard every word that came out of his lips.

“Elios. Linden.”

Just those two words.

After saying that, Ren immediately walked away with both hands in his pockets. Franka who just heard those two words suddenly froze in place.

Who did not know that name? Elios Linden was the richest man on earth today with his own business through the RMI Group, which was owned by his family since twenty years ago. Whatever he wanted, he could get it with the snap of his fingers.

He could make a company rose or fell if he wanted.

That easy.

Then … what business did the Keller family have to do with Elios Linden? Franka was trying hard to think about the connection between him and her family’s business downfall.

Didn’t Prince Renald mention Fae’s father earlier?

Was he…?

Franka’s body stagger, she was about to fall to the floor. Fortunately, the sympathetic guard helped her.

“Miss, what happened to you?” asked the guard, swiftly supporting Franka’s shoulder and helped her to sit on a chair. “Are you sick?”

Franka shook her head and whispered over and over again, “Im-impossible … This is utterly impossible …”

All this time, being the daughter of a rich and powerful family in Switzerland, Franka had always felt that she could act however she wanted to. That was what she did when she saw Fae Muller at the Rhine. She bullied the poor girl mercilessly.

At that time, she was deeply annoyed that her painstaking effort to look pretty by wearing her flawless makeup and her very expensive limited edition clothes could not make her look any prettier than an ordinary village girl.

So she vented her frustration by humiliating Fee and forced her to do manual labor to keep her job at the resort.

Franka felt she could do anything she wanted because Fae was just a poor village girl who couldn’t possibly take revenge on her.

It turned out that this time Franka had to pay the price of her past actions.
