From then on, Olivia's feelings for Orson changed from curiosity to admiration, and finally, to love.
"Hehe." Olivia opened her cabinet, took out Orson's photo, and rubbed it gently with her fingers.
She got this from the members of the Orson Support Club, and she was the one who established the Orson Support Club.
"Oson, now we can finally be together..."
…
On the other side, Orson sneezed out of nowhere.
Alas, the weather suddenly turned cold and rainy. If you don't pay attention, you might catch a cold.
Orson thought so and took a sip of hot tea.
(PS: Everyone must take care of your health these days. In addition, the author has no yang, no yang, no yang! He will not interrupt updates, let alone cut books! If he says it will be on the shelves next week, he will put it on the shelves next week, and he will never break his promise!)
(As for why Olivia, as the president of the support club, doesn’t recognize the elf lady in front of her, that’s because the support club is very large and the founder deliberately concealed her name, so that’s why it’s like this. It’s not a plot BUG)
Chapter 58: Sowing discord
Tyrell came to Donnie's dormitory with his punishment.
"I'm sorry, Master Downey, I messed up again this time..." Tyrell said this and lowered his head silently.
"You know it too." Danny snorted, but this time he wasn't too angry. "It's okay. I didn't expect you to succeed this time."
"I would be shocked if you could really remove Orson from the position of student council president."
"Thank you, Master Downey." Tyrell originally thought that he would be beaten up by Downey and scolded if he didn't do well, but he didn't expect that Downey was in a particularly good mood today.
"Okay, help me... no, find someone to help me deliver a letter to Junior Li Te. I'm going to ask him out for a meal and exchange feelings." Donnie said this and took out a letter. The letter was handed to Tyrell.
"Remember, find a stranger who Li Te doesn't know to send it to. Otherwise, if Li Te doesn't come, I'll take it from you."
"Okay." Tyrell nodded and walked out of the room.
Afterwards, Downey posed a few poses in front of the bedroom mirror, and after confirming that his appearance was fine today, he was ready to go out.
Today was not just for having a meal and chatting with Li Te at noon, there was also a more important banquet waiting for him to attend in the evening.
This is also the reason why he is in a good mood.
…
At noon, in the high-end and elegant restaurant in the Imperial College, Li Te was sitting on one side of the dining table in a formal manner. Opposite her was Donnie, who looked ferocious but pretended to be elegant.
"Mr. Li Te, I heard that you were recently brought home by Duke Lucius?" Downey took a sip of the red wine in his glass and said with a smile.
"Yeah." Li Teuk chewed the steak on the plate and nodded.
She was already numb to this issue. No matter whether her classmates did it intentionally or not, they would always mention it when they saw her or chatted with her. Over time, Li Teuk got used to it.
"It's really pitiful." Donnie said this, seeming to empathize with Li Te, and sighed. "After living in the country for so long, life must be very difficult. It is incomparable to living in the Duke's house."
His tone was not as provocative as Tyrell's at that time, but actually had a hint of emotion, as if he was feeling sad for Lit.
"It's not that exaggerated...the countryside is quite nice." Leeteuk said.
"I know that people like me who are used to a noble life can't understand your living environment at that time, but at least you are the son of a duke now, right?" Downey said this, smiled, and looked at Li Special toast.
"A drink?"
"No, no need." Lite waved his hand. "I don't drink, I'm not used to it."
"It's okay, you'll get used to it in the future." Seeing Li Te's refusal, Donnie didn't say anything more and put the glass down with a smile.
"Um, Senior Downey, I don't know why you came to me this time..."
"Oh? Mr. Li Te, do you already want to talk about business?" After hearing this, Danny looked at Li Te,
Then he said: "To be honest, Mr. Li Te, I happen to know some information about Duke Lucius's family."
"What do you mean?" Li Te looked at Donnie in confusion.
Seeing Li Te's interest, Donnie also lowered his voice to the point where only two people could hear him.
"It is rumored that at that time, Mr. Leete, your biological mother, Margaret, the Duke's first wife, only gave birth to you a son."
Li Teuk's eyes widened when he heard this.
"Although Mr. Orson also has black hair and purple eyes, he doesn't look like Duke Lucius, does he?"
"So, Master Orson is not actually Lucius's biological son, but your replacement whom Duke Lucius found by mistake at that time."
As he said this, Downey's tone was full of confusion.
"Master Li Te, think about it, you were supposed to be the Duke's only son, and everything in the future of the Duchy of Antica should be yours."
"But Orson replaced you and sat in your place, causing you to live a miserable life in a farmer's house for the past eighteen years."
"If it hadn't been for Orson, Duke Lucius would have expanded the search scope so that he could find you in the hands of your adoptive parents and take you back so that you can live a pampered life."
"If it weren't for Orson, you would be the eldest young master who is admired by others, instead of the young master who is bullied and can only hide under the shelter of others, right?"
Liteuk looked trembling as he listened to Donnie's words.
"Of course, because it is Mr. Osun who protects you, Mr. Li Te will inevitably become somewhat dependent on Mr. Osun and I can understand that you feel that he will not harm you."
"But, what if, I mean what if, Mr. Osun's purpose is to make you a puppet who obeys his orders, so that's why he treats you so well?"
Danny said this, stood up with a smile, and left the restaurant.
Lee Teuk sat there blankly.
…
All afternoon, Downey was in a very happy mood.
The reason why he chose to stop abruptly and leave immediately was to let Li Teuk think for himself.
He won't give him the answer, but he will guide him in the direction of "Orson will harm him."
It is said that a thousand-mile embankment breaks in an ant nest, and he is digging this "ant nest" now. In the future, the rift between the two will become bigger and bigger, and it will be time for the embankment to collapse and the brothers to fight for power.
Downey couldn't help but want to laugh when he thought about what might happen to the Stranik family in the future.
It was approaching evening, and Donnie stood in front of the mirror, took a look at himself again and again, and after making sure that his appearance was neat and tidy, he walked out of the door.
Arriving at the door, a group of followers were already waiting at the door. Most of these people were the earl's sons and daughters.
Because their parents are vassals of the Duchy of Naples, they must also bear the responsibility of accompanying Mr. Downey when they study at the Imperial College.
Tyrell was not among them, because his face had not recovered yet. The banquet that Downey was going to attend was very important, and he would not go there with an eye-catching pig's head.
"Let's go." He said, leading his followers towards the outside of the school.
…
On the other side, after Leeteuk returned to the dormitory in the afternoon, he began to think about what Donnie said this morning.
Including before, Xiao An also warned herself not to trust Orson too much.
But, can I really not trust Brother Orson?
At this time, Orson pushed open Lite's door, startling her.
"Ah, Li Te." Orson, who was standing outside the door, rarely put on a formal suit. He straightened his collar and then looked at Li Te. "I have a banquet to attend tonight, and I may have to come back later. You can have something to eat tonight."
"Ah, okay." Li nodded.
"Yeah." After Orson finished speaking, he was about to leave, but suddenly he remembered something and said to Li Te, "Well, I'm sorry about what happened yesterday."
"I interfered too much in your life. Lite, your life should be your own choice. I won't do this next time."
After saying that, he smiled at Li Te, then closed the door and walked out.
Chapter 59: Chelinina who was forced to attend the banquet
Chelinina's life has been very good recently. The business of the Chamber of Commerce is booming, and the two business organizations she established are also booming. It can be said that everything is stable and improving.
If this momentum continues, your regional branch should be able to join the annual camps of local branches by the end of the year.
Collect the top three, and before the agreed time expires next year, she will turn the situation around and turn the Antika branch of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce into the most valuable branch in the entire chamber of commerce.
When the time comes, he will also join the fight for heirs forcefully.
Until a few days ago, she received a letter from her father Louis.
Her father will hold a banquet in the city of Saint Laurent and invite Chelinina to attend.
The wording in the letter was very firm. Her two brothers had arrived in Saint Laurent a few days in advance, so there was no room for Chelinina to refute.
As Louis' daughter, Chelinina had no choice but to agree to go to Saint Laurent City.
She already had a hunch in her heart that this banquet would probably not be a good thing for her.
…
At night, Chelinina put on a beautiful evening dress, which made her look more mature.
Afterwards, she took a carriage and came to the banquet venue.
This is a well-known hotel in the wealthy area of Saint Laurent City. Louis booked the entire hotel to hold a banquet.
The carriage stopped at the door of the hotel. Chelinina took a deep breath, then got off the carriage and walked into the hotel.
The dinner party has not started yet, but as the organizer of this banquet, the Bonaventura family must arrive early.
"Long time no see, sister." As soon as he entered the hotel, a handsome young man wearing an evening dress with the same red hair and golden eyes looked at Chelinina who walked in and greeted her with a smile.
He is Celinena's second brother, Laurence Bonaventura.
"Well, long time no see, second brother." Chelinina smiled reluctantly.
At this time, another man with a big belly walked over not far away, showing a kind smile and looking at the two of them.
"Second brother, little sister." The man in front of him is the eldest son of the Bonaventura family, Mark Bonaventura. "Long time no see. I wonder how you guys have been lately?"
With that said, before the two of them could reply, Mark continued: "Ah, I've been very busy here recently. You don't know how many things are going on in Prussia."
"Our Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce has a lot of business in Prussia. I have to go to various places every day to do business. I am really tired. Alas... It is rare that my father called us back this time, so that we can have a chance to rest."
Seeing Mark here Versailles, Chelinina smiled, and then said: "Brother, you are so busy every day, the revenue of the Prussian branch must be very high."
"Ah, of course." Mark nodded. "After all, the economy of Prussia is the best region except for the royal direct jurisdiction. The branch I am in charge of is backed by Prussia. Even if we don't do anything, the revenue we have created is higher than some remote places."
Speaking of this, Mark seemed to have thought of something and waved his hand.
"Ah, sorry, Chelinina, I'm not talking about the Dukedom of Antica, I'm talking about the Dukedom of Lucia in the northeast. Don't get me wrong, you have worked hard, and we all see it."
Looking at Mark's poor performance, Chelinina just sneered and said nothing.
What about the Dukedom of Lucia? Even if Lucia is bad, it has developed much better than Antica. Isn't this just pointing out that the economic benefits of the area he is responsible for are not good?
Lawrence seemed to realize that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and he hurried out to mediate.
"Okay, okay, brother, you also know that the place where my sister is responsible is not a good place. She is very responsible to take over there."
"Humph, responsible, right?" Mark snorted after hearing this. "I think if my sister wants to be responsible, she might as well find a good family to marry, so that our family can have a backer."
Sure enough, the reason why Mark was dissatisfied with Chelinina was because of this matter.
According to the inheritance law, Mark was the most likely to inherit the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce after Louis' death. He had already regarded the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce as his own possession. Therefore, he wished that his sister would marry off earlier so that the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce could benefit from the marriage earlier.
After saying those words, Mark walked towards the banquet hall.
Lawrence looked at Chelinina and said worriedly, "Little sister, don't mind what your elder brother said."
"But did you really make that bet with your father? Make the Antica branch's income rank first in two years."
"Yes." Chelinina nodded. "It's true."
"If you ask me, why not just forget it." Lawrence said this with worry in his tone. "Little sister, you also know that the start there is too late. Even if you can really do it, it will take more than just two years."
"Why don't you take this time to look for the sons of other dukes' families? If you meet one you like, you can marry him."
"Second brother." Chelinina looked at Lawrence, and there was no respect in her eyes just now. "You also want me to withdraw from the position of succession, right?"
"No, little sister, I'm worried about you..." Lawrence was about to explain, and Chelinina turned and walked away.
"Alas." Lawrence stared at Chelinina's back and sighed.
