Chapter 1115 Pulling Strings
Once again, Jerome’s response exceeded Joseph’s expectations. Joseph did not expect Jerome to treat Natalie the
same way Bastien did. Natalie is the perfect example of “women are nothing but trouble.”
Having lost his patience, Joseph said in annoyance, “Major General Sutton, please think wisely before you do
anything. Are you sure you want to be at loggerheads with Prince Jonathan over this person?”
Jerome could not be bothered to waste his breath on Joseph. He shoved Joseph’s arm away and stormed toward
the royal lounge. Seeing that, Joseph launched an attack by swinging his left fist into Jerome’s face.
Jerome avoided it swiftly and countered with punches faster than Joseph’s attack, which made it difficult for Joseph
to dodge. The gusts of wind that followed the punches left his face feeling sore.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJerome did not earn his military rank by pulling strings. Joseph knew his combat prowess was no match for Jerome.
Even so, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue fighting.
Jerome had already made up his mind and could not be bothered by his military rank. He attacked Joseph viciously,
wanting to defeat the latter using the shortest amount of time.
Just when Joseph was almost losing, Bastien stepped out of the ward and approached Jerome. “What are you doing,
Jerome?” asked Bastien while gesturing for Joseph to stop.
Panting slightly, Jerome answered, “Return Natalie to me.”
In an unhurried manner, Bastien said, “She’s getting treated. She needs to recuperate to let her wound and broken
bones heal. Where are you planning to take her to? What other place in Yaleview has better medical facilities than
this hospital?”
“I’m aware that Natalie’s severely injured, but you don’t have to worry about it. My family is acquainted with a well-
known doctor. Once I take her with me, I’m going to provide her with the best treatment.”
Bastien’s eyes immediately glinted with hostility. “Jerome, do you really want to offend me because of this?”
Jerome did not seem to be afraid. “Offend is a wrong choice of word. Natalie is my childhood friend, and I’ve let her
down at the dock just now. Since I’ve promised to send her home, I’ll make sure to deliver it. If not, I’m not worthy
of being an ordinary person, let alone a major general.”
Jerome knew he and Natalie could never become lovers. Hence, he had done his best to fulfill his role as her friend.
Though he could not harbor any feelings for her, he would never betray her.
Bastien’s eyes darkened. “What if I say no?” “Then I’ll—” Before Jerome could even finish, an elderly voice rang out.
“Then my son and I will do everything in our power to take her away.” The voice belonged to Jerome’s father,
Daniel. He was leaning on his walking stick and glaring at Bastien. “That lady is a daughter of a family friend. Surely
it isn’t a problem for an elder of the Sutton family to take her away? You, on the other hand, don’t have a deep

relationship with her. If you insist on keeping her, you’ll make me upset. Please think wisely of what His Majesty will
think of you.”
Daniel was steady and reserved, but his words held great power. He made the Sutton family’s stance clear and
threatened Bastien at the same time.
It moved Jerome to see his father getting involved. “Father…”
Ignoring his son, Daniel continued speaking to Bastien. “Prince Jonathan, this child has suffered a lot. My wife and I
will take good care of her.”
With that, he ordered his men to proceed with Natalie’s discharge procedure. Bastien pursed his lips and remained
silent, exuding an aura that got more hostile by the second. Alas, he could only watch the father and son take
Natalie away.
