Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 463

Chapter 463: Funding the beta hunters

An hour ago:

Dominick had just returned to the palace and sought out his father, Raidan, right before dinner was scheduled to start.

"Nick, where have you been? I visited your room, but you weren’t there," Raidan stated, filling a glass with water from a nearby carafe.

"Dad, I resumed the work I put on hold," Dominick said, his voice laced with urgency. "I found out something important."

"What did you find out?" asked Raidan, turning to him as he sipped the water slowly.

At the very moment, Casaio also entered the room, a file tucked under his arm.

"Oh, Casaio has come too," Raidan stated, lowering himself into the nearest chair. Dominick turned around and offered a subtle smile to his brother.

"Dad, I came to get your signature on the project proposal I’ve been working on for a while. Please go through it once," Casaio requested, placing the file onto the coffee table. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Are you leaving already?" Raidan asked before continuing, "Dominick has resumed working. Why don’t you both collaborate on the next major project: establishing the next warrior academy in the kingdom? The council has been discussing it for a long time." Raidan genuinely hoped that if his sons worked together, Casaio might recover the memory of the strong brotherhood he lost in the cursed forest.

Dominick gazed at his elder brother, a look of hope in his eyes for a positive response.

"Sure, Dad," Casaio agreed, settling into a chair across from the Alpha King.

"So, what was the important matter you wished to discuss with me?" Raidan finally turned his full gaze back to Dominick.

"Dad, I didn’t check the report regarding the beta hunters closely enough before," Dominick explained. "Upon closer investigation, I found out the operation was being run by the head of the Vittileo family, Edward Vittileo. And just a few days ago, I received a document in the mail confirming that the hunter funds were being secretly sent by him. Because so much was going on personally, I hadn’t even taken a proper look at any of this until today," he explained in detail.

"That is shocking!" Raidan’s jaw immediately tightened with cold fury. The weight of the accusation against such a high-ranking official was immense.

"I went to talk to him first, though," Dominick stated, justifying his actions. "Because the document only mentioned his name, I confronted him so he would have a chance to speak the truth and confess."

Casaio let out a cynical chuckle. "Nick, shouldn’t you have gone for an official arrest of Edward Vittileo? Not only that, you should be moving to investigate their entire family immediately. Don’t let emotions cloud your judgment again." Casaio’s voice grew colder as he referenced his own troubles. "Because of Juniper, everything fell into chaos here in the palace. Zilia and I were nearly separated."

Dominick now faces sharp criticism from both his brother regarding his handling of the Vittileo family.

"I did order to look into their accounts as well. Edward is already arrested and imprisoned for further investigation," Dominick informed them, firmly shutting down any lingering criticism about his lack of action.

"You made the right decision, then. I can’t believe Edward would do such a thing. He was a reputed council member with other official duties," Raidan affirmed, shaking his head with a look of deep betrayal.
