Chapter 352 [Without a Household God, No Foreign Ghosts Can Be Attracted]

The Marquis of Sheffield still enjoys his aristocratic halo and thinks he is a high-ranking noble. He asked for $300 million, and the conditions were so harsh that even Baron Adrie next to him felt that he was hopeless.

The 30-year-old Marquis of Sheffield felt like a child who had not grown up when he listened to Bell's songs. He was too naive. He was so naive that he was out of touch with the mainstream society in the world. Did he still think that the time was before 1800? When the nobles controlled the world.

How could he be so ignorant? How could a high-ranking noble marquis be so naive? Did he really think that a marquisate could decide everything? But as time went on and the conversation went deeper and deeper, Bellsinger felt that there were signs of some conspiracy in the Marquis of Sheffield.

The other party was as naive as an ignorant child, not knowing what money was. Bellsinger felt that it was no accident that the Marquis of Sheffield had become what he is today. It seemed that someone deliberately led the Marquis astray and set traps everywhere.

Belsinger's keen sense of smell detected the existence of conspiracy, so he put aside the topic of buying Sheffield Manor for $300 million. He calmly asked the Marquis of Sheffield how this lazy and ignorant Marquis lived in this small apartment. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Sheffield laughed, patted the armrest of his sofa and looked at Belsinger with contempt.

"Mr. Singer, are you confused? I am a marquis, how can I be alone? I believe you have also seen my old butler Raphael. Raphael has two sons, one is my driver and the other is my follower. These two people are always by my side. How can I be alone? How can I cook by myself as a marquis?"

The old butler Raphael is an extremely shrewd old man. It stands to reason that the old butler is so experienced and knowledgeable. Even if he lived with the Marquis of Sheffield since he was a child, it is impossible to educate the Marquis to be a blank sheet of paper. He is out of touch with society and does not understand the concept of money at all. Yes, the old butler is a servant and the marquis is the master, but you can't educate the marquis master like this.

In addition, the Marquis of Sheffield said that a follower and a driver are the sons of the old butler Raphael, which made Belsinger startled, and then asked casually. "Then, Lord Marquis, I want to know, is the price of the manor sold at 300 million US dollars set by you or the old butler Raphael?"

Don't think that this marquis is the laughing stock of all British nobles, innocent as a blank sheet of paper, but there is an advantage of such a person, that is, he will not lie. He still maintains his glory as a high-level noble, and will not choose to deceive anyone, nor will he choose to default on his debts. Hearing Belsinger's question, the Marquis of Sheffield didn't feel that there was anything big about it and said it casually.

"Mr. Singh is a person who has lived in Sheffield Manor. He asked the right question. All the assets in the family are in the hands of Butler Raphael. Of course, Butler Raphael is the one who set the sale price of the manor."

The problem arises here. Butler Raphael is such a shrewd old man. How could he not know the actual price of Sheffield Manor? He actually offered such an outrageous price of 300 million US dollars! And he also asked the Marquis to insist that all the artworks in the manor castle and the wine in the wine cellar were not for sale.

What is the meaning of this old butler giving such an outrageous price? Isn't it just to let the Marquis offer such an outrageous price to scare away all buyers? Such an outrageous price makes everyone feel that the Marquis is crazy, or just an idiot. No one wants to buy the manor.

So who will this manor be sold to? How can the Marquis repay his gambling debts? Then Belsinger asked the Marquis of Sheffield about the underground wine cellar of his manor. Or does he have any idea about those artworks? But the Marquis was clueless and kept saying that he was a high-ranking nobleman. How could he go to the wine cellar to check the amount of wine for no reason?

He wanted to drink, so he asked the butler to take a box of wine and drink it. After Belsinger asked repeatedly, the Marquis of Sheffield waved his hand impatiently and said.

"Why does Mr. Singer always ask these small details? Even if I went there, there are not many collections. There are only some aged wines produced by the eight major wineries. Each bottle is worth tens of thousands of pounds, but there are not many wines. Why are you so interested in wine?"

If there is not much wine, it is not much. What do you mean that each bottle is worth tens of thousands of pounds. The amount of wine in your wine cellar is extremely rich. If all of them are sold, the price will reach more than 300 million US dollars. The amount is enough for you to pay off your debts several times. You, the Marquis, are really a fool. You let the old butler play with you without knowing it.

This is how to attract foreign ghosts without a house god? This is a deliberate trick by the old butler, who wants to bring down the entire Sheffield family. Even the Sheffield Manor, the only ancestral property of the Sheffield family, will be sold. By then, what will you, the Marquis, have left except for a title?

No wonder this Marquis is like a blank sheet of paper, with no concept of money and no common sense of life. This is all due to the intentional misleading of the old butler, who made this Marquis have no life experience and no common sense, and made him a blank sheet of paper in his hands at all times.

If he can't escape from the butler's hand, then the Marquis is his plaything, and all the property of the Marquis family is in his pocket. This is the reward he got for teaching a waste like the Marquis, that is, how terrible it is to occupy the master's property.

This is not a butler, this is basically an enemy, playing with you, the Marquis, and you don't know it. You still think that the butler and his two sons are good people. If you hadn't asked the Marquis to meet alone, this Sheffield Marquis would definitely bring the two sons of the old butler to meet with you, and then nothing would be discussed.

Horrible, it's really terrible! This butler Raphael and his two sons are basically vampires. It parasitizes on its owner's body to absorb nutrients, and then kicks the owner away, leaving you, a high-ranking marquis, to beg for food outside.

Becoming the laughing stock of the entire British aristocracy, could it be that the Sheffield family's ancestors had persecuted the family of Butler Raphael, which led to such a disaster. Even Belsinger thought that the father of the Marquis of Sheffield died young, and whether it was a conspiracy made by Butler Raphael that led to the death of the Marquis and his wife.

Seeing this innocent and proud Marquis who raised his neck like a white swan, asking further questions would not yield any results. Belsinger had to say goodbye with Baron Adri. When he was about to leave, this blank Marquis was still there, promoting his Sheffield Manor, and biting the price of 300 million US dollars.
