Chapter 355: Immature

Carlisle gritted his teeth before glaring at Jiang Yue. He never would have thought that his father would embarrass him like that.

"Your Highness, Miss Long is not familiar with our customs. I believe we should excuse her for her actions." He heard the Prime Minister say.

"Please, go ahead." The Prime Minister added as he nodded towards Jiang Yue. "Tell us more about this project."

"Actually, Miss Jiang wanted me to present this to the King…" she said, her gaze glued to Gideon. " Alone."

"Well… if that's the case… we can completely cancel this partnership! A lot of people want this opportunity that we have gave you!" The Crown Prince blurted out.

"Miss Long, why don't you tell us the reason she wanted you to speak with the King alone?" Secretary Jia chimed in. As the Secretary of Defense, his most important responsibility was to make everyone, especially the King, safe. He couldn't make a gamble with a woman, even if she looked so harmless.

"We can create equipment, which can be used to spy people from afar. The technology will be five times more sophisticated than what you have right now." Jiang Yue answered. "But since the Crown Prince does not want to continue this collaboration, then I guess, this meeting is over," she said before getting up from her seat.

"Thank you for your time, gentlemen," she added before gathering her folders.

"Miss Long… please, don't mind the Crown Prince's words." Gideon said. "I apologize on his behalf. He is still immature. Please take a seat… I would like to hear more about this project."

"Father!" The Crown Prince protested, disbelief lacing his eyes. Did his father just call him immature in front of everyone? It was something that had never happened before!

In response, Gideon narrowed his eyes at him. "Yes? Do you want to apologize to Miss Long yourself?"

"I…" the Crown Prince was speechless. How could his father do this to him? Of course, these thoughts were all just inside of his head. On the outside, he was able to compose himself immediately. "Ehem… I… I apologize, Miss Long. I didn't mean to say those things." Although these words were a lie, the Crown Prince still showed remorse on his face.

Initially, he thought that his father was doing this just because he wanted to obtain the device, which Jiang Yue had created. If he got to know that Gideon had done this because he suspected that Long Die in front of them was Jiang Yue, he would have instantly regretted his decision.

Jiang Yue ignored the Prince's words and took back her seat. "I understand. After all, a twenty-five-year-old man can still be considered immature," she said without glancing at the Crown Prince. Her words instantly made the latter burst in anger.

"You…." Carlisle pointed his finger towards Jiang Yue, his eyes full of rage. This woman was intentionally provoking him! "Do you know what is the punishment for making fun of a Prince?"

"Prince? What prince?" This was the first time Jiang Yue took a look at him, her gaze provoking, her lips curled into a smirk "I thought you were nothing but an immature son of the King."

"Carlisle… go outside." Gideon interrupted the tension inside the room. This time, he had already confirmed his suspicions. After all, only Jiang Yue would have the guts to provoke a prince like a fool beside him.

"Father! Are you siding with this woman? She just disrespected me! Are you not going to say anything about this?"

"I said, go outside!" He bellowed, surprising everyone inside the room. Then, he let out a series of coughs.

"Your Highness… Are you alright?" the Prime Minister asked before looking at Carlisle. "Please… go outside, Crown Prince. We don't want to cause more stress to the King."

Seeing Gideon coughing terribly, Carlisle could only grit his teeth before storming out of the room. Gideon's coughs reminded him of the fact that he would get the throne very soon. He should just endure a little more.

With these in mind, he decided to leave for now and inform his mother about all that had happened there. He couldn't wait for the moment when he would imprison that Long Die for disrespecting him.
