Chapter 114 Punishing the Stepmother

**Soren’s POV

Thomas was waiting for me, and I could tell by his expression that he had updates.

I walked into my office with him behind me. “What is it, Thomas?” I asked as I sat down at my desk.

“Two things,” he began. “First of all, Derek’s all taken care of,” he said. “I received word earlier today that he’s reached his final destination.”

I nodded. I expected nothing less from my people. “Good. What else?”

Thomas continued, “Secondly, we have confirmation that Ethan has arrived back in the capital.”

Where Madalynn was.

I could certainly use this to my advantage.

Thomas sat down across from me and said, “I believe there may be some other loose ends we need to tie up, though?”

Knowing exactly what he was talking about, I agreed. It was time for me to address a previous ally, one who needed to make sure he stayed in his lane.

Letting out a sigh of annoyance, I opened a desk drawer and found a piece of stationary, pulling it out and grabbing a fountain pen off of my desk.
