Chapter 2669 - 2669: Archbishop, There’s a Call For You

Translator: Atlas Studios    Editor: Atlas Studios

At that moment, Jacob received a call.

Seeing the number on display, his expression changed and he quickly pa.s.sed the phone to Quentin. “Archbishop, there’s a call for you.”

“Who is it?”

Quentin took it and looked down. He was stunned for a moment before he stood up and said, “I’m going out to take this call.”

It was quiet around him for a moment.

The people from the neutral faction stood up and made way for him, escorting him out.

In the independent continent.

In Ji Ziyin’s luxurious apartment.

The girl took the TV remote control and turned the volume down. Then, she tossed the remote control to the sofa and turned around. “What do you want to say?”

Ji Ziyin looked at her with a livid face and said through gritted teeth, “We have the same blood flowing in our veins. Is there a need for you to be so ruthless?” She did not ask Qiao Nian why she did this.

“We have the blood of the Ji family flowing in our veins. What’s the difference between you and me entering the Privy Council? If you do this, none of us will be able to enter!”

Ji Ziyin’s fair face was slightly red. The veins on her neck bulged as she pinched her palms. “l can make it so more Ji family members enter the Privy Council with the Empress’s help. You’re just a newcomer who can’t do anything. I’m doing this for the benefit of the family!’

“Tsk.” The girl seemed to have expected her to say this. She raised her hand and said indifferently, “Oh, you’re spreading rumors about Country Z’s scientific research team stealing technology, all for the Ji family? You’re spreading rumors about me relying on a man to get to where I am today, also for the Ji family?”

Ji Ziyin was not moved. She turned her face away and said coldly, “As long as I have a firm foothold in the Privy Council, these are not a problem. If you want to enter the Privy Council in the future, I’ll help you clear these rumors. If I want to succeed, I can’t take care of everyone right now. The family will always require sacrifices… If it were me being rumored about today, I wouldn’t have any objections.”

The corner of Qiao Nian’s mouth twitched. “If it were you? Of course, you’d have no objections.”

Many people could talk—talk was cheap, after all.

However, if they were the ones facing this hot potato today, they would probably scream louder than anyone else.

She got up, dusted off her clothes, and faced Ji Ziyin again with eyes narrowed dangerously. “Do you know how Ji Hongyuan broke his hand?”

Ji Ziyin’s face turned pale, and she took a small step back. “What are you trying to do?”

Qiao Nian did not expect her to be so easily frightened. She put her hands in her pockets and raised her eyebrows arrogantly. “Nothing. I’m just reminding you. I have a bad temper. I don’t know what I’ll do if you continue to appear in front of me like this.’

She had ruined Ji Ziyin’s beautiful dream this time, but it might not be the same next time.

Qiao Nian turned to leave.

Ji Ziyin looked at the girl’s back and gritted her teeth. Then, she shouted, “Qiao Nian, do you think you can enter the Privy Council just because you don’t want me to?”

The girl did not stop.

This nonchalant att.i.tude was like a thorn that pierced deeply into Ji Ziyin’s heart.

The opportunity that she treated as a treasure was like trash in front of Qiao Nian. She couldn’t even be bothered to turn around!

Ji Ziyin bit her tongue, unwilling to admit defeat, and disdainfully said, “If I can’t enter the Council, don’t even think about it.

“The Privy Council won’t let you in..”
