The secretary shook his head. "I don't know, either. Even though His Highness helped to mediate on behalf of Countess Kerr, he genuinely defended the Huo family as well."
Morey's face turned dark. Was Rocco planning to get the Huo family on his side?
Had he forgotten? The Huo family already had close connections to other members of the royalty. It was simply hilarious for him to attempt to enlist them.
Even though the plan failed last night, Rocco's reaction was a reminder that it was time for him to stand behind Count Kerr.
Morey pondered briefly and said, "Prepare two big gifts. Send one to Mr. Fan and one to the Second Prince."
The secretary felt puzzled on hearing this.
He could understand if he wanted to send a gift to Mr. Fan, but why send one to the Second Prince as well?
The secretary paused and then, his eyes suddenly lit up. He said, "The Second Prince is genuinely a better candidate than Rocco. Also, a couple of years ago, he extended an olive branch to you. I will prepare the gifts immediately."
If Count Kerr kept supporting Rocco, it was only a matter of time before it went downhill.
The count should have done this ages ago.
Before long, the secretary left the count's mansion.
Shortly after he was gone, another subordinate hurriedly came over to report something.
"Count Kerr, word just came from the state governor. The Weapons Bureau is no longer working with us. Also, you have been permanently blacklisted by them."
His subordinate trembled with his head lowered as he reported this.
Morey instantly looked startled. "What did you just say? Say that again!"
Permanently blacklisted?
It was no different from breaking both his hands.
His subordinate looked at Morey cautiously and continued. "Other than the Weapons Bureau, the Huo family has already suppressed and bought over your private property in the neighboring towns."
Morey's mind instantly went blank. He nearly passed out altogether. "How dare they? Do they think they can do anything just because of their power?"
His subordinate lowered his head even more. He was terrified that the count might throw a fit at him.
Morey squeezed his hands so tightly that they turned blue. A cold sinister look swept across his eyes.
After he had successfully backed the Second Prince, he would come back for the Huo family.

Meanwhile, at the hospital.
As Huo Yao settled Shangguan Yun's hospital discharge paperwork, she received a call on her phone.
She told Zhuo Yun to take Shangguan Yun to Min Yu's private villa while she went to a café near the hospital.
The café was not crowded at this hour and Huo Yao went straight to the second floor.
After glancing around, her eyes landed on an empty seat, right in the corner in front of the French windows.
A woman was seated with her back facing Huo Yao. When Huo Yao approached the woman, she turned her head.
Shangguan Tong looked at the unknown young woman giving off a very familiar feeling and sighed. "Yu?"
Huo Yao nodded and sat down across from Shangguan Tong. "Long time no see, Aunt Tong."
Shangguan Tong's eyes instantly misted up, hearing her voice. "I'm relieved to see you're fine."
When Huo Yao saw the pallor on Aunt Tong's face, she frowned. "Didn't I tell Uncle Wei to send you some medicine last year? Why didn't you take them?"
Shangguan Tong simply shook her head and smiled. "I know my condition the best. There's no use trying anything anymore."
Huo Yao went quiet for a few seconds and responded candidly. "I have to say that my eldest uncle and you have a lot in common."
