My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire novel Chapter 803

Jenkins hesitated after hearing the question. It took her a long moment to respond.

“I don't know. She's insane. There's no way to predict where she might strike next,” she said, then turned to Keira. “But if you can help me return home, I'll bring my entire company under your wing.”

Keira raised an eyebrow. “And how exactly am I supposed to do that?”

Jenkins pressed her lips together. “It's actually straightforward.”

“How?”

Jenkins leaned in slightly. “Country A is a constitutional monarchy—you know that, right? The king still holds considerable power. One word from him can change everything. Historically, they've looked down on merchants. To them, we're beneath farmers and scholars. The point is, if we can win over the king, we can neutralize any influence in Country A—including Clownfish.”

Keira's expression shifted. “How do you propose we win over the king?”

Jenkins coughed lightly. “Well, this particular king is exceptional. He's a visionary who's built the country into what it is today. When he took the throne at fifteen, he didn't waste time. One of his first acts was waging war against a neighboring state to establish dominance. Everyone thought he was reckless, but that victory brought the country over a decade of peace. He's both brilliant and ruthless.”

The praise piqued Keira's interest. Erin nodded. “I've heard of him, too. Thirty now, right? Known for his sharp looks and sharper mind. But is the South family afraid of him?”

Jenkins chuckled. “Afraid? Not quite. They're allied with him. The king owes his throne to the South family, so they maintain a special relationship. When Clownfish moved into Country A, it was with his approval. I even went to him for help, hoping he'd block Clownfish's entry. But he declined, citing neutrality in the South family's internal conflicts.”

“So why are you bringing this up?” Erin asked bluntly.

Jenkins sighed. “Because neutrality is just an excuse. If I had proven myself worthy of his trust, he would've helped me. But I didn't.”

Keira understood now. In Country A, the monarchy reigned supreme. The king's word carried far more weight than any merchant's influence. Even someone like Jenkins, who had built a thriving business empire, couldn't outmatch a royal decree.

“So you want us to help you win him over?” Keira asked.

Jenkins nodded. “Exactly. If we can convince him to back you, he'll order Clownfish out. I'll get my company back and pledge my resources to you.”
