Chapter 208 The girl who committed suicide

No matter how pitiful Mary and the other maids were, Cress would never feel the slightest bit soft-hearted. She still said that she felt uncomfortable living there and would either go to the military camp or move out.

Naturally, Mary and the others didn't want to go to the military camp, but how could they have the money to move out? In the City Lord's Mansion, Cress provided accommodation and meals free of charge. They didn't know what kind of things would be waiting for them when they moved out.

In the City Lord's Mansion, at least the living environment is acceptable, you don't have to cook by yourself, and you can earn an income as a maid.

Mary has realized that they are in a dilemma. Whether they stay in the City Lord's Mansion or move out of the City Lord's Mansion, it is not a good choice.

At least, she had to get a guarantee or a promise from Cress, otherwise her trip would be in vain.

Just as she was struggling with Chris, a girl rushed in from outside the door and said in a panic: "No! Lily has disappeared, leaving only a note saying 'goodbye'!"

Unfortunately, Mary was the only one present who would react to her words. Cress only thought it was ridiculous. The demons despised the scenes of crying, making trouble and hanging themselves the most, so they had to show their sincerity with a clearly stated price to negotiate terms.

, or just succumb to reality honestly, and being rude will only make people bored.

"Didn't I tell you to take good care of Lily?" Mary rushed out immediately. Cress rolled her eyes and glanced at Vincent.

Vincent took a moment to realize what Cress's glance meant: "You want me to go?"

"I don't want to take care of their affairs." Cress said, "Anyway, these things will be yours to take care of from now on."

According to Cress's plan, matters at the rear fell under Vincent's jurisdiction. Of course, this matter also counted, even Vincent didn't want to have to deal with it.

After Vincent confirmed that Cress was serious, he bit Cress's lip fiercely and walked out.

Mary had already disappeared. Vincent was not in a hurry and walked slowly along the wall to the back garden.

Then, he saw a black shadow crossing the ground, followed by a loud "bang" and an earth-shattering scream.

Vincent was stunned for a moment, and then he thought clearly about what the black line on the ground was.

It was the reflection of someone falling from the tower.

Lily disappeared, leaving a "goodbye" note... A series of words flashed through Vincent's mind, and he instantly understood what had happened.

He determined the location and immediately walked quickly towards that place.

Vincent was the first to arrive at the scene of the incident. He looked at a girl lying prone on the ground, red and black blood slowly crawling along the bluestone tiles across the soles of his feet.

The girl is still twitching, but that is just a natural reaction of the human body, and it does not mean that she is still alive. I am afraid that after a while, she will die.

Death has long been commonplace for Vincent, and the death of this girl cannot touch him in the slightest.

Other people who saw Lily jumping from the building also rushed over at this moment, and the sound of crying and howling could be heard everywhere.

Mary rushed to Lily, knelt down next to her, lay on her body and began to cry loudly. What she said in her mouth was nothing more than scolding Lily for being stupid and not living a good life.

Is she really sad for Lily? Vincent doesn't think so. She feels a bit sad for the death of a rabbit and a fox. Seeing Lily choose this path of no return, she feels that the road ahead is uncertain and she doesn't know how to go on in life.

.

Although in Vincent's opinion, what they encountered was not a life-or-death situation at all. At this level, they had to die. He had already died thousands of times. Of course, he also knew that everyone had different ideas.

, he cannot impose his ideas on others. Of course, whether others die or not has nothing to do with him.

After Vincent waited for the others to cry enough, he came out as the villain and commanded: "Stop crying, cremate her and bury her."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Mary turned her attention to him.

Mary raised her head and stared at him fiercely. Every word seemed to come out from between her teeth: "It's all your fault."

Vincent looked at her indifferently: "Are you sick?"

What does it have to do with him? He just arrived here a few days ago. These girls have been bullied for at least several months. Lily's jumping off the building has nothing to do with him.

Mary was just expressing her anger. She could only be furious because she was incompetent, but who could she direct her anger at? Vincent was the only "outsider" present, so she naturally chose to get angry at Vincent.

A year ago, no matter how many identities Vincent had behind his back, he could only listen to Mary when she was angry with him, and might even end up smiling.

But Vincent didn't owe her anything, and Vincent's authority here was even higher than that of Mary, so he didn't save any face for Mary. He just said lightly: "I advise you to clean up this place quickly, otherwise you can wait.

Cress is back, if she is unhappy, there is nothing I can do."

Vincent played the role of a soft-hearted person to the fullest, even threatening people to use Cress as a flag.

Cress' reputation was so intimidating that even Mary couldn't help but restrain herself and began to dispose of Lily's body.

They didn't even deserve a funeral, so they could only cremate Lily and bury her hastily.

The flames burned the girl's young body, and she let out low sobs accompanied by choked sobs.

There is nothing better than this scene to remind them that a girl who accompanied them every day has passed away.

After coming here, since the girls can only rely on each other to support each other, their relationship is much better than when they were still in the aristocracy. After all, they are both fallen people in the world.

Lily's suicide also opened up the facade of self-deception that they had always had. Did they really make the right choice? They chose to come here, and received no other feedback except bullying. Why did they come here in the first place?

Naturally, Vincent would not keep an eye on the whole process of the funeral. After he finalized the process, he planned to report back to Cress.

On the way he met several former subordinates.

Maybe he thought that he now had the confidence to be on an equal footing with Vincent, so he just glanced at Vincent and raised his head reservedly as a greeting.

This is the behavior of nobles. Nobles will not say hello to everyone they meet, otherwise it will be too cheap. Therefore, when nobles meet people they know but are not familiar with, they will nod to indicate. Vincent also understands that these things about nobles are not written in

On the surface, it is a small rule that everyone understands tacitly.

But nobles have been learning etiquette since they were born, and they have already mastered how to nod gracefully. They have to pay attention to when to start nodding, how many times to nod, the angle of nodding, etc. The people of Abandoned Avenue have not learned these, but they are somewhat

nondescript.

How ridiculous. In this city, the people who used to live at the bottom imitated the nobles they had seen, and the nobles lived worse than dogs. Maybe this is retribution.
