Guidebook for the Dark Duke
Chapter 43: turnaround
For Evan's official answer, Mrs. Johnson was speechless, and the tears that had swelled to her eyes suddenly fell.
Her eyes that were originally red were now cold.
"Aren't you...willing to help me?"
Mrs. Johnson's tone was sad and poignant, which made Evan feel a little creepy.
Folder didn't have the eloquence he had before, he just sat aside with a smile, watching Evan and Mrs. Johnson's confrontation thoughtfully.
Evan couldn't help but grit his teeth, this Verde really came at him.
"Mrs. Johnson." Evan looked at Mrs. Johnson with a gentle expression: "Of course I am very willing to help you, but this time the matter is no longer in my control, and I am helpless, Besides, how can I speak for Mr Johnson for doing such a disgrace to God?"
Evan tried his best to appear kind but powerless. This matter was originally a very complicated case, and he should not intervene without authorization now.
Mrs. Johnson looked at Evan with a hint of despair in her eyes, she gritted her teeth, stood up suddenly, closed her eyes, tears flowed down her cheeks, she lowered Weeping: "Since you are forcing me like this, then I don't have to worry about anything anymore. Everything I have now is all I have. If you want to take it away, then I will burn everything."
She opened her eyes with determination.
Evan was a little frightened by her aura. In Evan's opinion, no one who can die should be offended.
But Ferd was not frightened at all, he sneered and stood up.
"Mrs. Johnson." He looked at Mrs. Johnson's face coldly. Originally he wanted to use her to expose Evan's ruthless nature, but at this point, he couldn't. Seeing that this matter could not end, because after all, this was a major event for the church, and he could not stand by.
"Do you want all the jade to be burnt?" Ferd snorted coldly: "That's fine, I understand to tell you that the property of the church cannot accept any loss, if you don't compensate , the church will recycle your house anyway, as for yourself, we don't care."
Folder's remarks were extremely cold-blooded, and Sheriff Chandler couldn't help jumping up: "Mr. Ford!" He glared at Ferd: "How can you say Such ruthless words! Mrs. Johnson is already so pitiful, do you still want to force her like this?"
Folder looked at Sheriff Chandler's angry look, but the expression on his face did not change at all, smiled and said: "Sheriff Chandler, you are really a kind-hearted person, If you are not satisfied with my handling, then the same is true of you helping Mrs. Johnson repay the debt."
Folder blocked Sheriff Chandler to death with a single word. He blushed and couldn't say a word. , but his income is probably not as good as Evan's face, not to mention that he has a large family to support, how can he repay such a large amount of money.
Folder ruthlessly looked around at the people around him, and finally looked at Duke Wilson, who looked calm, and even raised the corner of his mouth, and finally stopped his eyes on the sad face of Mrs. Johnson , After these few days of contact, he clearly realized that this woman is not an ordinary middle-aged woman, her heart is even colder than a man, and he doesn't believe anything that is said to be burnt.
"Okay, Mrs. Johnson." Verde softened a little: "The church understands your situation, and we won't force you to repay immediately. As an agent, I can assure you that the church will give you three months to raise this money, and we will not disturb your life until then, but please also understand that the church is not a weak To someone who can be bullied, if you want to get rid of your arrears, you should give up."
Folder's remarks finally eased the tense scene a little, and Sheriff Chandler's tense face before, also eased a little, at least not a single sentence forced to death.
Evan heard this, but he couldn't help but glance at Ferd. It's a good way to push people to the extreme and give some sweetness. It's amazing to have this person be grateful to you.
When Mrs. Johnson heard this, her expression changed slightly, and finally she finally raised her head and looked at Ferd with tears in her eyes. She wiped her wet cheeks with a handkerchief, and then spoke softly. Said: "Thank you for your generosity, I will seize the time to raise funds."
Folder nodded casually, then sat down.
Duke Wilson did not finally speak until Ferd sat down: "Since the two of you have reached an agreement, then please leave, I have things to do later."
Duke Wilson said these words very indifferently, showing no mercy at all. Everyone present looked at the Duke with some surprise. In the eyes of everyone, the Duke has always been a cautious and observant existence. , This kind of embarrassing scene, they have almost never seen it.
Duke Wilson ignored everyone's eyes at all. He stood up impatiently and waved to the outside, and immediately a servant came in and made a welcome gesture.
Ferder reacted faster in the end. He immediately bowed to the duke and said with a smile, "Then I'll leave first, I'll trouble you today."
The Duke nodded coldly, and Ferd immediately turned and left the room.
Mrs. Johnson and Sheriff Chandler also retreated along with Ferd, but the expressions on their faces were not as comfortable as Ferd's.
The three quickly left the Cornwall manor. The speed at which they left even surprised Evan. What happened to the Duke?
Evan turned around and looked at Duke Wilson with some doubts.
Facing Evan's surprised face, Duke Wilson bowed his head unbearably. After a long time, he finally whispered: "I don't like these people."
They came to his manor and bullied his people. This situation made Duke Wilson intolerable.
Evan didn't understand Duke Wilson's psychology, and sighed: "I understand your thoughts, this matter is too bizarre, Mrs. Johnson's renegade, it really made me a little startled. Unexpectedly, I didn't expect Mr Johnson to have not a penny left."
Speaking of this, Duke Wilson couldn't help sneering: "You are too kind, saying that she didn't leave money, it was just her covet property, they are husband and wife, Mrs Johnson is no match for Mrs Johnson financially."
Evan listened to Duke Wilson's words, his expression could not help but stagnate, he lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Although what you said makes sense, but I still can't believe it, Mrs. Johnson would have such an idea, I have always believed that human nature is good, and I will not use malice to guess human nature until I get more information."
Duke Wilson was speechless for a while when he heard him say this. He looked at Evan with a complicated expression and couldn't help sighing in his heart. Such a person would actually exist in this world, He absolutely cannot let these people today drag him into the dark abyss.
Although a person like Duke Wilson is not good at reasoning, he is more sensitive to the maliciousness of human nature than anyone else. Today's scene of Mrs. Johnson is too deliberate, he almost At the moment when Mrs. Johnson cried, she realized that Mrs. Johnson was not as pitiful as she said. In today's scene, except for Evan and the confused Sheriff Chandler, everyone is not easy.
Duke Wilson looked at Evan's profile with a vague expression, he must investigate this matter, he must know the past between Evan and Ferd, he can't stand it Evan had a life without himself.
Duke Wilson sent Evan back to the second floor as he was, and watched him fall asleep before leaving Evan's bedroom.
There was no fuss when he saw the duke coming in. He stood up gracefully, took off his hat dramatically and bowed to the duke: "Sir Duke."
Duke Wilson passed in front of this man expressionlessly, without raising his eyebrows, he walked straight to the back of the desk, sat down, then raised his hand: "Sit down Come on, Edson."
Adelson's mouth curled into a smile, and he sat down slowly: "Sir, you haven't summoned me for a long time, what's the important thing you're here this time?"
Duke Wilson frowned, paused for a moment, and finally said: "You give me a thorough investigation of Pastor Bruce's background, and you can't let any details."
Adelson was a little surprised when he heard this, raised his head and glanced at Duke Wilson: "Pastor Bruce?"
"Is there anything wrong with this Mr. Pastor?" This was Ederson's first reaction.
Duke Wilson frowned slightly and shook his head: "No, I just want to know what his background is. Now that he is close to me, I don't want any problems."
Ederson heard this, and the smile on his face disappeared. He stood up solemnly and looked at Duke Wilson with a very focused look.
"Has your relationship with Pastor Bruce reached the point where a background investigation is required?"
His words were very solemn, which almost made Duke Wilson a little overwhelmed.
"This kind of thing doesn't need your intervention." His answer was a little guilty: "You just need to do what I told you."
Adelson raised his head halfway, looking at Duke Wilson's hand holding his cuff, he suddenly felt a little bad in his heart, what is going on with the person who makes Duke Wilson so nervous? Although he has not communicated with the duke in the past few days, he has been paying attention to the duke's every move. The duke was assassinated, and the contacts of the entire duke's mansion rushed to the capital. The prince who committed suicide is only afraid at this time. It's already very uncomfortable, and the pastor Bruce who saved the duke's name, he has never paid much attention to it, and now he thinks that he can stay in the duke's mansion to recuperate until now, which is a very strange phenomenon in itself.
Adelson clenched his fists, a hint of determination flashed on his originally dull face, he still had to think about this matter.
