1126 Reunion After a Long Absence 1
The development of anything has its two sides.
As a wealthy family of top pharmacists in Darkwing City, the old patriarch of the Exxon family does not like to be busy, so visitors need to make an appointment in advance.
And because the children of all lines living in the mansion in Dark Wing City are all direct descendants of the Exxon family, there are very few visitors who come back here.
But because of an inexplicable subsidence in the eastern district of Darkwing City today, the Exxon family, as a wealthy family in the city, was called upon to send people to participate in maintaining law and order and treating the injured.
It was a coincidence in this matter.
The old butler in the mansion wanted to train his young son to take over his position, so when he led people to the east area of Darkwing City, he asked his young son to exercise the power of the butler on his behalf, and Raymond happened to be When the young man took over the stewardship for the first time, he entered the Exxon family's mansion.
The young man with an excellent image and a respectful attitude had already been confused by all kinds of trivial matters in the Exxon family mansion before Raymond showed up, and because of Raymond's keenness, he was immediately attacked. Under the influence of Raymond's spell, he actually forgot the rules in the mansion and welcomed Raymond and Haines who followed him into the side hall of the front yard of the mansion. He also sent someone to invite Vincent's wife Kay. Roll.
Although Carol, who had not been seen for a long time, was a little surprised by the visit made in the name of Ellivo from Hongze Wetland Wizarding Academy, she still happily took her personal maid from the back house to the side hall.
Carol, who was plump and graceful, still kept her delicate and shy appearance, had the bearing of a noble lady. When she entered through the main entrance of the side hall, Raymond deliberately lowered his head and drank tea, so she was not the first to see her. Time to see who the visitor is.
But when Louisa sat down and Raymond spoke, Carol, who finally saw his appearance, was stunned.
The originally rosy cheeks suddenly lost their color, and the teacup they had just picked up fell to the ground. Smashed to pieces.
Raymond, who originally had some expectations in his heart, couldn't help but feel his heart sink and said slightly sarcastically. "Carol, why are you so surprised after not seeing him for so many years?"
Carol's eyes went straight and his whole body began to tremble, falling into great fear and panic.
But her personal maid realized that something was wrong, but how could a mere ordinary maid disturb Raymond's plan? Before she was about to call out, she was imprisoned in place and kept her pre-call. His posture was stuck there and he couldn't move.
Staring at the frightened and frightened Carol, I saw that she still had more beauty and youth than before, and thought of Louisa who had become an old woman and had passed away. Raymond, who had a ball of anger in his chest, made his tone calmer. "Don't be afraid or panic. The contract back then has long been invalidated. And I'm not here to break the peace of your life. I'm just here to get some information..."
Carol, who was pale and trembling all over, stared blankly at the people sitting there. But my heart is extremely miserable!
The contract made when he was at the Hongze Wetland Wizarding Academy forced him to hand over the most precious girl. At that time, the despair that seemed like the sky was about to fall made her think of escaping. Even suicide!
But the development of things later became calmer. His cousin Louisa and cousin Olga were willing to become this man's bed partners. On the contrary, because he had been extremely resistant to such a fate, he had always maintained Wearing a perfect body.
Because I was not persecuted, I was very lucky at the time, and I felt grateful later. Even before establishing a relationship with Vincent, I even thought of committing myself to him...
Unfortunately, when he wanted to follow his beloved Vincent back to the Dark Wing City to seek support from the elders on both sides, this man who had just been promoted to an official wizard then chased after her and not only defeated Beatrice. Also cut off Vincent's right hand!
The original fear was replaced by anger at the thought of this. The guy in front of him who deeply hurt Vincent dared to appear in front of him. It seemed that his prayers for many years had been answered. The enemy who came to his door must be punished!
With this thought in her mind, her expression gradually calmed down. As her mind wandered, Carol came up with a solution. She stood up, knelt down and apologized sincerely. "I'm very sorry. I didn't expect that it was Lord Raymond who came here. It was so sudden that I was very surprised. I'm very rude and please forgive me..."
Pingpin Tingting's tone was soft and gentle, with a faint smile on her face. Caroll instantly regained his previous grace and demeanor. Such long-term cultivation of grace and elegance made Raymond a little unable to grasp the previous anger. It was also discouraged a lot.
"It seems that Mr. Raymond has greatly increased his strength now, which is very gratifying..." When he said this with a smile, Carol lowered his head slightly and begged again. "It's just that my personal maid is just an ordinary person. I apologize to you on her behalf, but please forgive her disrespect and spare her..."
Carol, who was originally panicked, regained her composure in a moment, and even took the initiative to intercede for her maid. For Raymond, there was no reason to continue to imprison her maid, so he released her with a thought.
The horrified maid immediately apologized sincerely, but Carol, who seemed dissatisfied with her rudeness, after scolding her severely, smiled and said to Raymond. "Lord Lei Meng, this is the side hall where the clan receives foreign guests. I think you have many questions that need to be answered, so please come with me to the side hall. Everything I know will be stated to you without any concealment. I hope your questions can be answered..."
Considering that there were quite a few related questions that could not be explained in just a few words, Raymond took Haynes, who was like his bodyguard, and followed Carol into the Exxon family mansion. Those exquisite corridors full of flowers and vines finally came to the courtyard where Carol lived.
Carol, who did not take Raymond into the reception room, invited him to the unique pavilion in the middle of a sea of flowers.
Carol, who married Vincent twelve years ago, is still a descendant of the Newman family, but actually has little contact with the Newman family.
When she said this, her face was full of guilt. Carol sighed and her eyes were a little red. After she took out the silk scarf and wiped the corners of her eyes, she continued. "Because the rules of the Exxon family are quite strict, and Vincent had long given up on improving his strength due to his limited talent and specialized in taking care of family affairs, so at that time I also needed to assist, so I rarely did anything. Contact your family again..."
After hearing this, Raymond could feel the guilt in her heart, but those questions from many years ago were still unexplainable, so he asked directly. "Even if you have little time to communicate with the Newman family because you are married to Vincent, why did you lobby on behalf of the Exxon family eight years ago to have the Newman family be annexed by the Exxon family? ?”
Carol, who sounded extremely angry, turned cold and angry. "Lord Raymond, you really don't know the situation at that time! The punishment from the war zone council is about to be issued. If the old patriarch hadn't begged the war zone council in every possible way and delayed and compromised, it would have been delayed for so long!"
"Because the Newman family was unable to refine those two war potions, fifty war zone wizards died in the Deep Canyon and more than two hundred knights were left without bones. If it weren't for the guarantee and promise of the old patriarch that delayed the time, The Newman family was in jeopardy at that time!”
After saying this, seeing that Raymond still looked suspicious, Carol pursed her lips as if trying to restrain herself, but turned around and scolded the very frightened maid. "Go! Hurry up and invite Lord Mihaig over!"
The maid who bowed and bowed quickly left, but Carol explained with lingering anger. "Lord Mihaig served in the war zone council back then. He is very clear about what happened back then. When he comes, you will understand the truth..." (To be continued...)
