Living With My Lady Boss romance Capítulo 1408

Hans did not give him a reply, continuing to play with the bangle in his hands.

The bangle was the size of a palm, radiating an air of antique charm. It was clear that it cost quite a bit.

Seeing Hans remain silent, Connor and the others had no choice but to wait patiently.

A while later, Hans passed the jade bangle back to the butler, who returned it to the briefcase.

"My deepest apologies," said Hans. "The Angora clan isn't what it used to be anymore. I'm afraid I can't be of any help."

Jaden was the first to panic. "Surely there's nothing you can't sort out in Morburn, right?"

Hans smiled. "I might be an Earl, but I haven't had much actual power for a while now. To tell the truth, I think you'd be better off asking for help from Governor Wynna."

"We did, but he's always busy," Jaden said.

Hans took out a pipe then. The butler filled it with a beautiful golden tobacco, before lighting it.

Hans took a leisurely puff, saying nothing.

Connor looked at Jaden, then at Hans. "Earl Hans, we've invested a good amount into that gold mine. We'd be losing way too much if we fail to get it. We simply can't afford that. Please, help us out."

"My apologies. My abilities are limited," said Hans.

Jaden looked visibly panicked.

To tell the truth, Connor was nervous as well.

They had been gunning for the gold mine for a year now and had high hopes for it. It was said to contain a more than satisfactory amount.

However, getting mining rights in a foreign country came with its difficulties.
