Twenty Seven Years

  Chapter 48 is enough

  The situation suddenly became dangerous.

  Verak's hairs stood up, and his expression became a little unnatural.

"What's the situation? Anyway, I don't think it's a good choice for you to travel. At most, it's just an escape for a while, and you'll have to face it after all when you come back." Colin didn't notice Verak's abnormality, and said to himself view.

   "I..." Verak's thoughts were in a mess.

Colin understood that Verac felt guilty, and continued: "Why didn't you tell Mr. Carmine about the matter between you and Elizabeth? Or did you say that Mr. Carmine already knew about it but disagreed? It would be really tricky if you disagreed. .”

   "Do you know what happened to us in the past few months..." Verak sat down a little lost, and forced himself to speak.

"Thinking about it now, the two of you have indeed seen less and less in the past few months, so now Mr. Carmine does not want you to be with Elizabeth, and you and Elizabeth just quarreled?" Colin's association ability He is very strong, and he has already figured out the whole story by himself, "So you are still hesitating now? I don't know whether to listen to Mr. Carmine, or stick to your own opinion and stay with Elizabeth?"

   "...um." Verak responded along Colin's train of thought.

"I think the two of you should meet and have a good talk, and don't make a decision that you may regret for life in a quarrel over some trivial matter." Colin seems to be very insightful in terms of feelings, "And I personally think that being arranged by others Life will not be happy. As your good brother, I will not be happy watching you live a life you don't like. I will always stand by your side and support all your decisions."

  Verak was touched.

  Although things were not what Colin thought, and Colin couldn't help Verak at all in the situation he was facing, but this sincere comfort and support without the slightest cynicism still moved Verak.

  He is very envious of Chris, who has a wealthy family, a gentle and beautiful lover, and friends who can never worry about being let down.

  If he was really Chris, he would never choose to be involved with Equality—even if he was born poor, has been looked down upon by others, and suffered injustice all the time, Equality will fight for him desperately.

   "Thank you, Colin." Although the words didn't help him, Verak still felt empowered.

  He knew that if Colin was not sitting here today, but Nord, that boy who was always full of vigor would also support him and stand by his side.

   This is already a blessing in misfortune, and it is also the motivation for him to grit his teeth and persevere.

  Pretending to be Chris, he has already failed Colin’s trust and the enthusiastic Equality Congregation. Verac, who is unavoidably guilty, does not want to waste all his efforts and fail Nord.

   "What are you talking about." Colin felt that Veraker was too alien, "Okay, don't make a sad face, think about it in your heart, I will help you ask Elizabeth out to meet today."

   "What if I decide to be with Elizabeth, but my father doesn't agree?" Verac asked.

"I will talk to Mr. Carmine. If Mr. Carmine is still stubborn, I support you to live a free life elsewhere." Colin had already thought of the worst outcome, and he said sadly , "Even if your family doesn't care about you anymore, don't worry, I'm still here. Although we grew up together and basically never separated, I will be very reluctant if you leave. But I know, watching my good brother live If I don't like it, I will feel even more uncomfortable. So...Chris, do what you want to do with confidence, even if I can only hear about your recent situation in letters and phone calls in the future, I will still feel for you as before happy."

  Verak got up and walked in front of Colin, with a complicated light in his eyes: "Thank you for everything you have done for me."

"Don't be nasty, thinking about the fact that you will take away at least half of my pocket money in the future, I feel very distressed—" Colin put his hands on his chest pretending to be heartbroken, and suddenly realized, "Eh? No, no. No, you've been thinking about doing business secretly to make money recently, and you haven't let your parents know, are you just saving money and waiting to take Elizabeth away?"

  Verak did not expect that this increasingly outrageous incident could be successfully connected with his own business affairs.

   Seamless and natural.

   "Yes, it was seen by you." Verak nodded, acknowledging the logic chain that has surpassed the outline.

"Let me just say, why do you suddenly leave the record company alone and come here to do this kind of small business." Colin slapped his thigh, looking like he already knew everything, "That's it, you are still hiding with me ? Wouldn’t it be better if you couldn’t say it sooner?”

   "I've always been unsure about this, so I thought I'd tell you when it's really settled." Verak said bravely.

  Colin also stood up: "Then logically speaking, you should be able to make a lot of money, right? When you and Elizabeth are gone, don't I need to use my pocket money to support you?"

   "Perhaps." Seeing that Colin resumed his digging and searching, Verak couldn't help laughing.

   "It must be done." This time it was changed to Colin patting Verak's shoulder, "It's not to keep my pocket money, but I just hope you can live better."

   "Yes." Verac said.

   "Dong dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

  Verak knew that Carmine was coming: "I'll go and open the door."

   "Mr. Carmine." Colin saw Carmine standing behind the door, and hurriedly bowed and saluted, "I just heard from Chris that you were busy, so I didn't go to say hello to you."

   "It's okay, sit down." Carmine looked kindly, and sat on the sofa facing Colin, "Chris, Kellerman doesn't know what's going on, so I want you to come over."

   "Okay." Veraker was about to leave.

  Colin also heard that Carmine wanted to send Verak away on purpose. Before Verak left, he nodded slightly firmly at him, as if he would help him.

  Verak had a panoramic view, and only hoped that Colin would stop talking nonsense and muddy the water even more.

   After closing the door, Veraker went over to ask Kellerman if he had anything to do with him, but it turned out that there was nothing, so he came to the hall and sat alone, calming down and thinking.

  What if the situation is really the worst? Elizabeth knows about the Equal Society, and after confirming that Verac is not the real Chris, she will find the Equal Society to reveal the truth.

  Although even if she talks to the Equality Association, the Equality Association may not necessarily believe her, but there is inevitably a great risk.

  Thinking of this, Verak raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and his whole body became relaxed.

  Colin’s words just now touched him a lot, and he couldn’t help but burst into tears after hearing the news that Nord was still alive yesterday. Verak knew the greatest victory was to be alive, and the greatest luck to have friends still.

  If Elizabeth really knew, then he would have taken Nord and Diaz away in advance.

  More than half a million gold grams is enough.
