Chapter 960: Sweeping Ashes
Half an hour later, Jonathan left from his residence.
When he left, his face was a little ugly, and he barely restrained the anger in his heart.
That bitch, who dared to act under the banner of the Astor family after remarriage, who did she think she was?
Britain, can you sit back and relax by hiding in the UK?
Did she underestimate herself too much? Jonathan felt as cold as frost in his heart.
Madeleine, who was worrying about her life in London at this time, didn't know that even bigger troubles were coming.
After the hasty end of her second marriage, unwilling to be ordinary, she began to try to regain her due respect and status by virtue of her own ability.
So, after feeding a fat-bodied general with her body, she got a chance.
arms.
Madeleine never thought that one day she would become an arms dealer.
For God's sake, she just wanted to try it, but she didn't expect to succeed miraculously.
The turbulent situation and backward technology in North Africa made those outdated weapons very popular.
With the status of Astor's widow and Viscountess, Madeleine has gained a lot of convenience, allowing her to earn a lot of money.
And the price to pay for these weapons is nothing more than a few boring nights and an extra expense.
It's just that happiness comes quickly and goes faster.
The retreat and retreat of the Germans caused Madeleine to lose her source of weapons.
The small-scale conflicts were too conspicuous, and the confiscated loot couldn't make a fuss at all. Even if she protested many times, the general only tried to calm her emotions as much as possible.
This annoyed Madeleine and became irritable at the same time. She had already tasted the sweetness of arms.
Who would want to let go of almost free money.
It's just that the current situation can no longer replicate the previous situation, and Madeleine had to find another way.
According to the information she learned by accident, the Allied forces are planning a large-scale battle, maybe she should look for opportunities in it.
It's just that Madeleine is obviously not a patient person.
After waiting anxiously for half a month, she began to consider other possibilities.
If we can extend our hands to the Far East, it may be another way out.
But, what identity should she use to contact her?
The friendship between Jonathan and Charlie Lee may be the answer she's looking for.
"Ma'am." The butler appeared beside him and said softly, "A telegram from America."
"Who is it?" Madeleine was a little curious.
"Uh... If you read it correctly, the signature is Astor IV." The butler carefully looked up at the back of the hostess.
Madeleine's body trembled, as if she was frozen on the sofa, and the butler quickly buried her head again.
"Bring it here." Taking a deep breath, Madeleine thought to herself, "Why do I feel nervous, she is not the same as before. '
The telegram was quickly handed over to her. Madeleine looked natural, but her trembling hands revealed the tension in her heart.
When she opened the telegram and read it carefully, her complexion became extremely exciting.
Enduring the anger and embarrassment in her heart and reading the last word, Madeleine jumped up and tore the telegram into pieces angrily.
"Damn Jonathan, bastard, despicable bastard, without me, he would still be begging in a dirty slum, this bastard..."
The hissing roar didn't last long, and Madeleine sat down panting again, and said after a while: "Give it back to him...this is England, and I am the honorable Viscountess of the British Empire, if he wants to do Whatever, be prepared to pay the price.”
"Yes." The butler left with her message.
The telegram was sent out quickly, but Madeleine became anxious.
That damn bastard dared to threaten himself, how dare he do that, she was his mother, even if it was just a stepmother.
In fact, Jonathan's courage is very big, and this time it was beyond Madeleine's expectations.
The day after she sent the telegram, Her Excellency the General, who was her patron, appeared at the manor.
That day, the servants heard a violent quarrel broke out in the living room from outside.
Soon the general shook his hands and left. Judging from his pace and expression, the two broke up unhappy.
Followed by Madeleine's investment business in the UK was suppressed, but she couldn't even find the other party.
As a courtesan, Madeleine naturally refused to admit defeat, and she began to look for wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials who were close to her in the past.
But she was greeted by indifferent faces: "The master is not here, Madame Madeleine, please come back another day."
"Master ordered, I haven't seen anyone in the past few days."
"Master is sick, madam, please go back!"
"Owner……"
Boom.
The precious vase, worth £8,000, was smashed to pieces and is one of Madeleine's favorite possessions.
But now it is broken into pieces, and the owner who once cherished it has no interest in even looking at it at this moment.
Compared to the difficulties and losses she is facing now, a small collection is nothing.
"Is he going to kill them all?" Sitting in the empty room, Madeleine said through gritted teeth.
What made her feel even more desperate was that the solid relationship and power she thought she was strong enough to resist the other party disappeared with a slight wave of the other party's hand.
All efforts are in vain, she is like a funny clown, dying on the edge of the cliff of invincibility.
With her limited cognition, how could she think that now the entire allied countries not only depend on the United States militarily.
Business is more centered on the United States, and it is unwise to annoy the Astor family if they want to ensure their profits in the United States.
As one of the important members of the Li family consortium, although the Astor family no longer has the glorious glory it once had.
But in terms of wealth, it has far exceeded its peak period. Jonathan, who has mastered American Express and can directly influence the rich country, is not a small role that can be ignored.
Within the Lee Consortium, Astor has faintly become an independent force, with its own influence and determination.
Although it is still unable to compare with other consortium members in terms of industrial weight, it is still regarded as a behemoth by the outside world.
What's more, who knows who his actions represent?
Li Zitao doesn't mind this kind of misunderstanding. In fact, he is very happy to see people think this way.
It's also time to teach that self-righteous woman a lesson, grab business with skunks, doesn't she understand what this means?
If it weren't for her being Astor's former widow, Li Zitao would be concerned about the face of the Astor family.
He only needs to simply express his dissatisfaction to the outside world, and he doesn't need to do it himself, and someone will diligently sweep away the unsightly dust for him.
Like a self-righteous, simple-minded stupid woman like Madeleine.
One-third of the arms of the allies are supplied by his industries, and these industries have the most advanced technology in the world.
Politicians and generals within the Allies know better than anyone what this means.
