Henry didn’t care that there was no one in the palace at the moment. Lies came at the drop of a hat. Sophie couldn’t be allowed to see the old king.

With that, he pushed John and asked him to help cover up the lie.

John finally reacted and said, “Yes, your maternal grandfather was hurt by his family. That’s why he doesn’t want to see us.”

Sophie knew they were lying, of course, and admired them for lying so freely, as if her maternal grandfather really wasn’t dead.

Annie took her hand. “You don’t have to worry. Someone is taking care of your grandfather. Didn’t you bring your husband and son back with you?”

She wasn’t trying to sound her out. She really wanted to see her daughter’s child.

Unfortunately, Sophie only had doubts about her. She smiled and said, “The child is still young and didn’t want to come. But he can’t bear to part with his parents, so Gao Tian stayed behind to take care of the child.”

“Then you must bring him back next time. I haven’t seen my grandson yet.” Annie smiled.

Sophie said something else to change the subject. She didn’t want Gao Jing to come at this time.

Fortunately, Annie only asked this on a whim and did not continue.

Speaking of children, the other two had something to say. Henry and John were both amorous people. They each had more children than the other. There were many legitimate children, not to mention those illegitimate children.

They didn’t bring them because they only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. It wouldn’t be good if they offended Jiang An.

However, it was time to chat. Mentioning them could also be used as a topic of conversation to improve their relationship.

The three of them chattered non-stop. Jiang An was tired of listening. She was not interested in the stories of those children. Moreover, she was about the same age as these so-called children. She really had no sense of immersion.

Originally, they wanted to rope in Jiang An, but what happened caught them off guard. They were afraid that the old king’s death would be discovered, so they were busy covering it up and didn’t have the time to express their goodwill. The banquet ended in a hurry.

Returning to the hotel with Sophie, Jiang An asked, “How many children do your two uncles have? Who are you ranked behind in terms of inheritance rights?”

Although their goal was to make Sophie a queen, one plan could never keep up with changes. No one knew what the outcome would be, so it was better to listen and watch.

Sophie thought about the question for a moment. “My two uncles have a lot of children. There are almost ten children in the marriage alone, but they all have all kinds of scandals. I don’t think the people will recognize them as kings unless…”

“Unless they can get the support of the army now, then the opinions of the people won’t matter,” Jiang An added.

The reason why the royal family of Country F had such great influence was because of their extraordinary status. Under the guise of a constitutional monarch, they were actually still ruled by the king.

The root of the problem was that the king held military power. Even the president could not mobilize the army. It was more like working for the royal family.

Now, because the old king had died suddenly, the army did not know who to pledge loyalty to for a moment. That was why Jiang An and the others had time.

“Then aren’t there many people we need to guard against?” Jiang An asked.

Sophie thought for a moment. “John’s daughter, Mary, and Henry’s William. The two of them have some means, but like their fathers, they’re not good people.”

At this point, Sophie seemed to remember something. There was obvious disgust on her face. It was obviously not a good memory.

Jiang An looked at Zou Bai and smiled. He immediately understood.

“I’ll send someone to investigate the two of them,” Zou Bai said helplessly.

Jiang An smiled brightly. It felt good to have someone help her.

At the same time, John and Henry were also talking, but the center of their conversation was Jiang An.

“I see that she and Sophie have a good relationship. It’s not easy to rope her in. Are you sure you want to negotiate with benefits?” John asked.

Henry was a little uncertain for a moment. The benefits they offered were really not much. At most, they would promise her what they would give after becoming king.

However, this sounded no different from an empty promise. Jiang An was not a fool. She would definitely not agree.

This was a big problem. The news of the old king’s death could not be hidden forever. They had to obtain victory as soon as possible.

Although the crown prince had given up on the throne and left, no one could say for sure if he would change his mind. If he suddenly returned to inherit the throne, their plans would become a joke.

“Since there’s no way to give benefits for the time being, we have to use another method to form an alliance. At the very least, we have to let Jiang An know our sincerity as a guarantee,” John suggested.

“What kind of guarantee, we can’t sign an agreement right?” Henry didn’t understand what he meant..
