Abetus.

Looking at the solemn and luxurious villa courtyard in front of her, Rebecca took a deep breath and turned her head to glance at the direction of the carriage. After receiving an encouraging look, she gritted her teeth and walked in.

"Miss Rebecca, you are back." A man with half-white hair and well-dressed butler looked at Rebecca in surprise.

"Where's father?"

"Viscount Snow is in the study." The butler replied respectfully, and finally added in a low voice, "Master Rafik and Miss Marianne are also here."

"Thank you!" Rebecca bowed her head.

If it wasn't urgent, she really didn't want to step into this house. Although the news was so unbelievable, she was willing to believe Ashley and Sigmund.

Even if he went back to this house that made him resist, and met the person he didn't want to see.

Although the current Rebecca belongs to the Swann family in name, in fact, after inheriting her mother's inheritance, she is deliberately avoiding and fleeing from this family for many reasons.

Follow the stairs to the study on the third floor, and when you walk to the door, faint conversations can be heard from the room.

"Marianna, is the deal for the mine in Pleasant Town complete? And what I asked you to do before, a senior researcher at the Royal Academy of Engineering, I hope to hire him to our new factory..."

"The transaction of the mine is completed, but the Royal Academy of Engineering is still in contact." A young woman's voice came.

"Hurry up, the current situation is very delicate, you don't understand, by the way, Rafiq, did you get a reply to the letter I asked you to send to Lieutenant General Pablo last week?"

"We can't expand our influence without the support of money. The southern waters have not been peaceful, but with the help of Lieutenant General Pablo, our goods should be able to be safely transported to Konos." The calm and generous voice continued to ask. .

"Lieutenant General Barbro?" Hearing this name, Rebecca's eyes widened, because the news sent back by Sigmund indicated that the lieutenant general had betrayed the kingdom.

But according to his father, the family seems to have kept in touch with Lieutenant General Pablo. Could it be that they were also involved in this betrayal?

no, I can not.

Rebecca quickly calmed down. Most of the Snow family's influence was concentrated in the northern part of the kingdom. Over the years, under the impact of the emerging class, their development was limited, and even regressed.

With their family influence, there is no need to participate in Lieutenant General Pablo's betrayal. The risk is too great and the reward is too little, so it should be just a normal contact, and at most it involves a little business help.

But……

Thinking of that unbelievable news, Rebecca hesitated for a moment. If the messenger of the news was not Sigmund, she would never believe it.

"Who's outside?!" At this moment, a cold snort came from the study, and then the door was opened, and a woman wearing a sky blue thin skirt and wearing a sky blue lady's thin skirt appeared in front of her. .

Mariana, Rebecca's half-sister.

"Rebecca? Why are you back?" Mariana blurted out.

"What are you doing standing outside?" Another voice came, the voice was Viscount Snow's eldest son, future heir to the title, Mariana's own brother, Rafik.

Rafiq's hair was well-groomed, and although he was young, he had grown a beard. At this time, he looked at Rebecca with obvious interrogation.

"Father."

Ignoring the accountability of the two, Rebecca greeted the man sitting behind the desk.

Viscount Snow looked about 50 years old, with half-white hair, but he seemed to be in good spirits, with deep wrinkles on his forehead, and a pair of round black-rimmed glasses on his face.

"Since you're back, take a good rest. If you really have nothing to do, you can help your sister." The Viscount nodded, took a sip of coffee, and gave Rebecca a cold look.

"Anything else?"

In the room, all three eyes fell on Rebecca.

"Father, a major event has occurred in the southern waters of Elam. I hope you can inform the Duke of this matter, or..."

"What's the big deal?" Rebecca's brother asked suddenly.

Biting her lip, Rebecca took a deep breath, "Lieutenant General Juan Pablo betrayed the kingdom, and he will lead the fleet to bombard the southern coast tonight!"

Silence, the silence of death in the room.

"Hehe." Marianna suddenly laughed, and she glanced up and down at Rebecca, "My lovely sister, where did you get such absurd news?"

"Are the newspapers and novels so bold now? It is a serious crime to maliciously slander a lieutenant general of the kingdom." After speaking, she walked to Rebecca's side and gently put her arms around her shoulders.

"Are you too tired recently? Go back and rest, and watch less of these messy things in the future." The words on her mouth were polite, but with her back to Viscount Snow, Mariana looked at Rebecca with disgust. .

"This is not a mess, this is a friend of mine, he is in the southern waters now..."

"Rebecca, watch your words and deeds!" Rafiq snorted coldly, "I don't know who is instigating you to make you say such things at this time, but I want to tell you that Lieutenant General Barbro We are very important, the so-called friend who made such ridiculous remarks to you, I hope you can stay away from him in the future."

"Father, what I said is true. This friend of mine hopes that I can help him spread the news. As long as I can meet Charlotte and call his name..."

"Charlotte?" Mariana's eyes widened. "Which Charlotte?"

"My sister, the Charlotte your friend said will not be the princess of the kingdom..."

"Okay!" Viscount Snow said.

"Go, Rebecca."

"Father, everything I said was..."

"Get out!" The expression on the viscount's face remained unchanged, but his voice suddenly increased.

"Come back to dinner at night, talk to me about where you have been recently?"

The viscount's expression suddenly softened, "Didn't you say you wanted to travel to Baghtia last time?"

Rebecca didn't speak, went to Baghtia, that was already two years ago.

"I see." Shaking her head, Rebecca felt strangely relaxed at this moment, and a certain joke of Sigmund kept echoing in her mind.

The first female councilor, or the first female mayor of Abetus, a confident smile spread across the face of the three people in the room, Rebecca saw for the first time the decay hidden under their shiny appearance and arrogant.

Leaving the manor briskly, seeing the smile on Rebecca's face, Ashley jumped out of the carriage, "How is it? It worked?"

"As I imagined, they haven't changed at all." Rebecca smiled.

"So you failed?" Ashley obviously knew some inside information, "You are so happy when you failed?"

"Wouldn't it be nice to see some pompous fellows about to take a tumble?"

"What now?" Ashley asked.

"Go to Madame Gallard, she will be willing to help us!"
