Chapter 235

When Mark heard about this banquet, he immediately understood that there was something in Orson's words.

They say it's a good impression, but in fact it's probably not the reason for the enmity.

"Remember, remember..."

But helplessly, I have already said this, which means there is no way back and I can only continue to continue this topic.

"At that time, I obeyed Chelinina's wishes and stood up to protect her, but your father said: 'Your family was just a duke more than ten years ago. Before that, you were not even worthy of entering such a social situation. ! '"

"At that time...my father was too angry and said some irrational words. If I offended you, Duke Orson, please forgive me."

"Of course, it's not offensive to me, it's just offensive to my loved ones."

Orson shrugged.

"After all, my family was created by my father's hard work and his military achievements on the front line were accumulated bit by bit. I don't want to reduce his value to nothing because of the ridicule of such people."

"However, now I have a new understanding of this sentence."

Mark heard this, leaving a trace of cold sweat, and then asked:

"Duke Orson, what do you have in mind?"

"People's status will change as the environment changes. I agree with this statement. The current change in the environment is that you have lost the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce. From today on, you are just ordinary people with a little money. I’m afraid you won’t be able to fit into the social scene downstairs.”

With that said, Orson also stood up, turned around and left the conference room, leaving only Mark alone.

Arriving downstairs, deafening applause came.

In the center of the banquet, Chelinina announced to the business celebrities attending the banquet that the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce had been acquired by the Lissen Chamber of Commerce.

In this way, Chelinina successfully completed her revenge on her father.

She completely shattered the shackles that once tried to hold her down, broke through the cage, and became her own master.

When Orson saw this, he heartily applauded Chelinina.

He helped Chelinina a lot, but Chelinina also did not burn bridges. Instead, she understood why she succeeded and never treated Orson badly.

Because of this, the two established a close cooperative relationship, and Chelinina even confessed her feelings to Orson in the end.

After the banquet, Orson followed Chelinina to the roof of the Chamber of Commerce. On the balcony on the roof, the two of them were enjoying the evening breeze.

"Congratulations, Chelinina, you have completely succeeded now. From now on, you will be the freest person."

In the acquisition contract, there is an additional clause, which is to end the father-daughter relationship between Chelinina and Louis. Although Chelinina will still retain the surname of the Bonaventura family, she will never pay any attention to her father and brother. The family obligations of the three.

In other words, when the three of them are on the streets in the future, don't think that Chelinina can help the three of them.

"Hey, isn't this all because of your help, Orson?"

Chelinina is also obviously very happy. After completely acquiring the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce, she will basically be the one to speak in the empire's business community.

Pricing, supply, handling fees, etc. are all firmly in her hands. Not only does she eat meat, but she also has to drink soup according to her own mood, instead of having to share it with others.

Recalling the process of her struggle with her father and brother, Chelinina felt dreamy.

"Don't say that, Chelinina, of course you have your own reasons for success."

Orson said this, raised his glass, and clinked a glass with Chelinina.

"Although your father and brother seem to be incompetent, that's just compared to you. In fact, if their abilities don't change, they can still maintain the foundation of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."

"Of course I know that."

Chelinina nodded, took a sip of red wine, and then pointed to the former headquarters of the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce not far away.

"I have had a dream since I was very young, that is, one day I can become the master there."

"But as I grew up, I found that what my father asked me to learn was completely different from what I wanted to learn. My father asked me to learn etiquette, musical instruments and gardening, and even arranged for me to learn housekeeping skills. There was just no arrangement for me to study business management.”

"I started to study on my own, staying with my father, watching him, and learning from him."

"Now that I think about it, maybe not having been taught by others gave me a different understanding than them, which helped me a lot. Otherwise, I would probably have the same thinking as them."

Saying this, Chelinina couldn't help laughing at herself.

"Actually, now that I think about it, I seem to have the same idea as them. It's just that your appearance, Orson, gave me a new understanding."

"So, after all, Orson, to me, you are not only an important advisor, but also a mentor who changed my destiny, and..."

Saying this, Chelinina rested her head lightly on Orson's shoulder.

Orson's body stiffened for a moment, then he adapted to the feeling and relaxed.

"Don't talk about me being so powerful, I'm just an ordinary person."

"If you can only be considered an ordinary person, then everyone in the entire empire may be a mess."

Chelinina was joking.

Afterwards, a silence fell between the two.

Looking up, the two looked at the bright moon in the sky until it was shrouded in dark clouds.

"It should rain tomorrow..."

Chelinina looked at the sky and said thoughtfully.

"Um."

Orson nodded.

"Umbrella, I have prepared it for you. If you need to use it, please tell me at any time."

"I will."

Orson and Chelinina walked back indoors and were alone for a while before Orson left Lissen Chamber of Commerce.

…

The next day, it was dawn.

Sherlock woke up from bed, got dressed and got ready to go to work at the Sheriff's Office.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the room, she felt something was wrong.

Outside the door, there were at least five strangers.

She knows magic. In order to prevent thieves from intruding, she specially applied detection magic to detect abnormal smells at the door of her residence.

If a person's aura remains within the detection range of magic for a long time, she will be warned when she comes to the door.

At this moment, she noticed the auras of five people at the door.

Faced with this situation, she deliberately stayed cautious and walked out through the secret door leading to the alley.

However, when she walked out of the alley, several guards walked up instantly.

"Miss Sherlock, we suspect that you were bribed by the suspect and deliberately protected the suspect, so please come with us."

"Huh? Being bribed? Who are you? Who sent you here!"

Sherlock knew that he couldn't resist, so he was ready to ask them for their details.

However, the other party didn't say anything and just made a "please" gesture.

Sherlock had no choice but to follow a few people until they walked to a house outside the palace.

At this moment, inside the palace.

Odysseus is still unconscious, Arthas is kneeling

After staying for a day, he could only return to his residence under the persuasion of the guards.

Before leaving, he informed the guards that he would notify him as soon as the emperor showed signs of regaining consciousness.

Afterwards, he returned to his residence and began to plot secretly.

Alsace was not, as Odysseus said, ignorant of government affairs. On the contrary, it was precisely because he was very interested in politics that he made increasing royal power his most important task after coming to power.

After Odysseus completely gave up his confidence in Alsace and prepared to cultivate Elsa as his heir, Alsace had only one choice.

"Back?"

In the room, Rosalin looked at Alsace.

"Um."

Not long after the last meeting, Rosalind and Alsace formed an alliance. The two became a nominal couple and then lived together.

And the alliance has only one goal.

Arthas became Emperor of the Empire and Rosalind became Empress of the Empire.

"How is His Majesty the Emperor feeling?"

"Nothing serious, just comatose."

As Alsace said this, he took off his coat and sat on the chair.

"but……"

"but?"

Rosalind looked at Arthas in confusion.

"Father, he no longer trusts me. He is planning to let Elsa inherit the throne."

Hearing this, Rosalin was stunned for a moment.

"So, you are going to continue to wait like this until your sister takes away the position that originally belonged to you?"

"...What if? He is my father."

"It's true that he is your father, but Arthas, you are the future emperor."

Rosalin walked up behind Alsace and put her hands on his shoulders.

"I'm not a woman who likes to fail. What happened last time has already brought shame to my family."

"This time, it's a big event related to the future. I don't want to lose again, do you understand?"

"Then what are you going to let me do?"

"At least now, His Majesty the Emperor hasn't given an official order, right?"

Hearing this, Arthas turned his head and looked at Rosalind in shock.

"So, what do you mean?"

Rosalin moved closer to Alsace and whispered in his ear:

"I'm afraid of losing something, especially if it's something I value most."

"So if someone must take it away from me, I will fight with all my strength."

"Now, before everything becomes an established fact, there is still room for maneuver, right?"

Arthas nodded after hearing this.

"I see."

Rosalind then told Arthas what to do. After hearing this, Arthas did not refuse.

But his hands hidden under his sleeves were trembling slightly.

Chapter 46: Breaking up the relationship (5K)

"Phil? Why you?"

Sherlock was taken to a house, followed by the guards to the second floor, and then saw his old acquaintance in the study.

"You go down first."

Phil did not answer Sherlock, but glanced at the guard beside Sherlock.

Hearing this, the latter nodded and then left the room.

After that, Phil looked at Sherlock with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Charlotte, please sit down first."

She still used a more intimate title to prove her relationship with Sherlock.
