"Nothing you said just now made any sense. Why can't you inform me about building a new manufacturing plant and why does your daughter get to do that?" Wyatt was confused for a moment but then thought of Anna's mother's role in the Royal palace he immediately gained some clarity. But he waited to see if Colleen's response matched with what he had guessed. 

"Wyatt, please be respectful toward Her Highness," Jaya reminded seeing Wyatt continue to rudely interrogate Colleen. At first when she saw Wyatt casually address Colleen he heart almost jumped out of her mouth but before she could recover from that shock. Wyatt went from rudely accusing the royal family to interrogating the queen. It took her a while to process what she was seeing.

Had it been some other Card Master speaking to Colleen this way Jaya, like any other hot-blooded Southerner, would have broken their limbs and tortured them as they begged for forgiveness and mercy until the queen passed her judged them. So Jaya advising Wyatt not to continue to be rude toward the queen was her showing a lot of restraint out of her feelings for him. 

"Jaya, he is my great son-in-law. That makes him family so it is okay," Colleen purposefully said with great detail hoping to kill Jaya's feelings for Wyatt before they blossom into an undying love. 

In Colleen's defense, she felt she was saving Jaya from a lot of heartache and pain further down the road by doing this as Wyatt wouldn't even consider Ann who was Anna's origin card so it was in Jaya's best interest that she would forget about Wyatt. Colleen was not doing this to help her granddaughter decrease her love rivals by one as she felt no woman or girl could be her granddaughter's rival. Then the image of a simple and pure girl popped up in Colleen's mind but then she shook her head as both her daughter and granddaughter had warned her from approaching that girl. 

Listening to Colleen's words Jaya felt as if thousands of lightening both had struck her heart. She was aware of the relationship between Anna and Wyatt, but considering Anna's reputation she thought that the Southern Emperor would soon grow tired of Wyatt and leave him alone but she never imagined they would progress so far. 

"Don't speak nonsense, I am not your son-in-law. Seeing how things are processing business-wise, I wonder if we should continue to be partners," Wyatt detonated a bomb in Colleen's mind of the same magnitude as the one she detonated in Jaya's heart and mind. 

"Boy, say what you want but the contract between you and my granddaughter is the proof. You cannot escape your responsibilities," Colleen did not seem to care about Wyatt's words. As if they did not hold any wait for them. 

"Wait, what contract? As far as I know, there is only one contract between us regarding the production and sales of silver milk production. What the heck are you talking about?" Wyatt was confused by Colleen's words and wondered if he had entered some kind of contract with Anna without him being aware of it. 

"Wyatt, don't act dumb. The ring on your finger is the proof of it," Collen said pointing at the Dummy Ring on Wyatt's left hand's index finger. 

"I am not acting dumb you are misleading others by blowing the story out of proposition. Anna gave me this ring as protection against curses," Wyatt responded but then it hit him why does this matter? Then he glared at Colleen wondering how could he let her of all people rile him up and said, "Enough of this. Colleen, I need answers about what is happening in the Southern Capital." 

"Like I said earlier, wait a few days your mother-in-law will explain everything to you in detail," Colleen's lips were tight she did not reveal anything extra or relevant instead just repeated what she said earlier. 

"..." Wyatt did not let Colleen use the same tactic to rile him up and get him off topic and demanded, "Colleen, I am losing my patience just tell me what is going on." 

"My dear great son-in-law, this is the problem with all you smart people. You people just can't let things go and let nature take its course. You have to poke into everything. Wyatt for the last time, I can't be the one to discuss this with you. However, I will tell you that it is a good thing. You will be very happy when you hear about it. So, please calm down and just trust for once," Colleen assured  Wyatt that everything that was happening in the Southern Capital was good and he would be happy about it. 

"Trust you, you say," Wyatt looked at Colleen skeptically because every time someone in the royal family had said this to him things had ended wrong and he had to pick up their slack. 

"Come on, don't look at me like that. If you trust us you will let us do it our way otherwise you can only do what you feel like," Colleen was dumbfounded seeing the way Wyatt looked at her when she asked him to trust her. But then remembering what happened yesterday morning she understood Wyatt had every right to look at her that way. 

"Fine, I will trust you guys. You guys are lucky that right now have lots of things on my plate that take priority. Otherwise, I would not have stopped until had gotten to the bottom of this today," Wyatt was not kidding he had indeed planned to not rest until he had Colleen confess everything but seeing that the Southern Royal family had their plans and not deliberately keeping him in dark about what they were up so he decided to let them do it their way. It was either he trusted them or him redoing everything they did so far and more. Then what was the point of partnering with the Southern Royal family?
