Chapter 148: Power Rangers

"Miss, I'm sorry, please give me another chance!"

The girl's crystal tears ran down her cheeks, and she looked at the beautiful but stern girl in a gorgeous long dress with a pleading look.

"Catherine, since you like to help Lisa so much, you can just go to her, why do you have to stay here with me?

Compared to me, a lady from a count's family, their family is still a prince after all, and it's just a matter of words to solve your family's household registration problem!"

Avril directly slapped the girl's hand down, and her eyes could not hide her disgust. She was not a petty person, but today's occasion was so important to her, whether it was before or after meeting Lin Jue.

Catherine looked at the resolute girl in front of her with tears in her eyes. She didn't expect that her every move was remembered by this girl. She wanted to say that she was just not familiar with the etiquette of the nobles. If she could give her some time, she would definitely be able to do what the girl wanted.

Unfortunately, Avril didn't give her a chance to explain.

Watching the people in the Earl's Mansion walk away, Catherine staggered to her feet. She wanted to run to Avril to apologize again, but she was pushed away by the servants behind her.

The collision between the cold ground and her body made Catherine's long-term malnourished body unable to struggle for a while.

The originally clear sky was overcast at some point. Watching Avril and others disappearing on the street, Catherine felt as if the sky was falling.

Crash...

The heavy rain, floating in the breeze, hit the ground crazily. The rain mixed with tears. Catherine, wearing a soaked maid outfit, looked helplessly at the lonely woods around her.

She didn't dare to imagine herself returning home in this image. Thinking of her parents' expectant eyes and her brother's happy smile, she didn't dare to bring this bad news home.

The hardships of life always chase after the unfortunate. Born in a mediocre family, she was expelled from her hometown and came to a foreign country just because she was labeled a Jew. She finally got a chance to enter the Earl's Mansion with her beautiful appearance. She thought she could work peacefully and solve the family's livelihood and household registration.

Unexpectedly, she was selected by Avril to attend this banquet. She didn't have much time to familiarize herself with the etiquette of the nobility. She was happy to see the world, but she was treated like this...

The cold rain hit the ends of Catherine's hair. She didn't notice that the rain on her body was getting less and less. A lot of rain passed through her body and fell to the ground without hindrance...

Catherine didn't know how she got back to this poor alley and shabby room. She couldn't help but laugh at herself. Compared with Avril's castle-like house, her current home was just like her, small, remote and unattended.

Looking at the tightly closed door in front of her, Catherine was a little panic in her heart. She didn't dare to face the expectant eyes of her family. She was the only support of the family.

The dim light shone through the open door and reflected on the bluestone road irrigated by rain. A narrow light appeared on the dark street.

"Catherine? You are back!"

"Sister!"

Catherine looked at her family members who came out to greet her dully. At this moment, her heart was churning, and her eyes looked at the figure that could not appear here in a somewhat incredible way.

"... Your Excellency the Grand Duke of Yongye?"

Mixed with the drifting heavy rain and the shouting of her family, her mumbling words did not attract the attention of her family.

In this way, Catherine, who was in a daze, was pulled into the house by her parents. Seeing her soaked appearance, Catherine's mother showed a distressed look, and she hurriedly told her young son to get a new set of clothes.

As the thick grey coat was put on her body and she felt the warmth in the house, Catherine came to her senses.

The next moment, she stood up and wanted to salute, but was stopped by Lin Jue who was smiling.

"You?"

Lin Jue shook his head slowly. Compared with the flattered Catherine, he was not interested in the nobles' tricks. He was just thinking about trying to dig this girl over, but the situation seemed to be developing in a special direction.

"Haha, Catherine, friends are coming to the house, why do you have this expression?"

The father on the side asked with some confusion.

The mother looked at Lin Jue, who was tall and had a special temperament, with a mysterious smile, and then looked at her daughter who looked "shy".

Although she didn't understand why her daughter came back home in the rain, she knew that although she was a servant, her daughter would also take the bus specially prepared for servants in the Earl's Mansion.

But this did not affect her good mood today. She did not expect that her daughter would make friends with such a young and handsome boy who seemed to have a very good family background just after arriving at this place.

Why did she think that the boy in front of her had a good family background? In addition to the simplest intuitive appearance and the unique temperament, there is another most direct reason.

She had just come back from shopping, so she naturally noticed the luxurious old car parked at the entrance of the alley. She also happened to see Lin Jue walking out of the car and led to her home by a servant in a suit.

She was most amazed by the unique temperament of the person in front of her. She even suspected that Catherine, who entered the Earl's Mansion, had made a noble friend, but looking at that Asian face, she threw out this unrealistic idea in her heart.

An Asian noble in the British Empire? Aisha, you really dare to think.

But the boy in front of her must have a very good family background, and her daughter would not suffer if she married him.

That's right. In such an era, she, who lived a precarious life, thought of the scene of marrying Catherine.

On the other hand, Catherine was a little embarrassed. Unlike her parents who didn't understand Lin Jue's identity, she knew that the guy in front of her with a smile on his face was one of the few people who really stood at the top of the British Empire.

That's the Grand Duke. How many Grand Dukes are there in the British Empire now?

Compared to the many princes with royal blood, the Duke's strength is second only to the royal family in the hearts of the people of the British Empire.

As the tea was served, Catherine looked at Lin Jue who was talking to her parents with some trepidation. She was a little curious, why did Lin Jue come to her home?

Is it because of appearance... I have the opportunity to enter the Earl's Mansion because of my appearance. Those guys said that I look cute and I will definitely please those nobles if I send me in!

No, that's not right!

Catherine shook her head fiercely. She suddenly thought of the maids she saw in Lin Jue's Evernight Castle. The appearance and temperament of those people were all top-notch. She thought that her appearance was just better, but it was definitely not worth a grand duke coming to her home in person.

On the other side, Lin Jue looked at Catherine's parents helplessly, asking about the things between him and Catherine.

After a simple family talk, Lin Jue still told the purpose of his visit this time.

"Madam, in fact, the most fundamental purpose of my coming this time is to hope that your daughter can join my company!"

"What?"

Catherine's parents looked at each other in surprise, and Aisha frowned. She looked at Lin Jue with some trepidation, fearing that her fantasy would be shattered.

"Sorry, our daughter has entered the Earl's Mansion. She is a servant of a distinguished Earl!"

Catherine's father said bluntly that he originally thought that Lin Jue was his daughter's new friend, but now he didn't expect that he seemed to be a fraudster.

He knew his daughter well. In addition to her cute appearance and well-behaved personality, she didn't have any special skills. The person in front of him actually wanted to recruit his daughter into his company. What could his daughter do? In his opinion, this was a completely clumsy scam.

He must be coveting my daughter's beauty, and he might even be a human trafficker. Now human traffickers actually rushed into people's homes to commit fraud?

The thoughts in his mind were running wildly. At this moment, the expression on Catherine's father's face gradually became gloomy. He was even a little angry. He had not given Catherine a perfect home. Now the hateful guy came to the door and wanted to take his daughter away. How could he not be angry?

"Sir, our family does not welcome you. Whether you are a human trafficker or a fraudster, I advise you to leave my home now, immediately, and immediately!"

"Father, what are you talking about?"

Catherine couldn't help but screamed in horror.

Aisha's originally confused heart was even more confused at this moment. She looked at her daughter with worry.

However, the next moment, Catherine's words instantly made them stunned one by one.

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Grand Duke of Yongye, I apologize for what my family said just now. I'm sorry! Please don't see them."

Catherine prayed in a panic.

"Well, it's also my inconsideration. I have no ill intentions and I don't mind."

Lin Jue smiled bitterly. He didn't realize that Catherine's father would have such a big reaction. Obviously, the various experiences in reality made the family seem shaky, and Catherine's father seemed too sensitive.

"Grand Duke Yongye?"

"Catherine, what are you talking about?"

Catherine's parents widened their eyes and looked at their daughter in disbelief.

And the father who was just roaring in anger looked at the smiling boy with a complicated look, as if he didn't care at all about the insults he had just endured.

"This is the Grand Duke Yongye of the British Empire. He is the hottest person in the aristocratic circle now!"

"Grand Duke Si?"

"How is it possible, Catherine, don't joke with your family!"

Catherine's father said seriously, looking at Lin Jue's young face, he thought he was knowledgeable and didn't want to believe it. He suspected that his daughter was deceived.
