Chapter 178 Selling a House
It's just that for something as ethereal as love, there is no physical reference or book theory, and it all depends on the definition of both parties.
As long as she holds the sovereignty, there will be no chance of taking that step.
Sera does like every paper person, and sometimes even feels that they are alive, but this world is very different from the real world she has lived in for several years. It is strange and bizarre, and the feeling of being stripped deep in her soul is the reason why she will not give her sincerity.
She knows better than anyone that she doesn't belong here.
As night falls, guests from far and wide have to eat after watching the farce.
The shameless Qiao Qi and Anna Xi had woken up from coma, but they still asked the servants to refuse the banquet on the grounds of poor health.
Only Lizzie managed to attend the dinner.
For the ruby on her chest, Sierra wore a black tutu and diamond earrings.
Sitting next to Rose Hill, her thin back was straight, her neck was slender, and her noble demeanor, decorated with sky-high price jewelry, was as good as his.
"Not to mention, it seems that the Duke and Miss Serra are a match."
"Both of them look perfect."
Those vague sounds of flattery reached his ears, but Sera didn't pay attention to them, and just whispered to him: "Eat less, or just drink."
She didn't want him to vomit it up in embarrassment when he went back later.
Rose Hill curled her lips, tilted her head and lowered her body, and said to her: "There is a gambling party tonight, do you want to go and play?"
Sera shook her head, "Let's do it some other time. I still have family members to take care of, and you can also take the box of gold coins that Leiden brought with you."
"You do not want?"
"Of course I do, but it won't be mine if I leave it here. Why don't I give it to you directly when I pay off the debt." Sierra smiled and said, "I said yes, one thing will be the same thing, you Don’t say no.”
Rose Hill didn't object, but when the servant passed by with the oyster plate, he took two oysters and put them on her plate.
His pampering silently confirmed Sera's special status.
After today, I believe that all the powerful centers of the entire Lirenni Kingdom will know her name.
Some people left after dinner, while others left in the morning to catch the train.
Sierra stood in the vacant living room while shaking her lace bone fan. Three days had passed since the Mawson Laundry Factory was exposed to infectious diseases, mistreatment of workers, and malicious miscarriage of pregnant women.
On the first day, Lizzie couldn't resist the pressure. Before the big iron gate of the manor was damaged, she paid a large sum of money for the medical treatment of the black slaves and some of the purchases necessary for daily necessities.
The next day, because Lizzie firmly disagreed with the expansion of the factory dormitory, more than half of the 30 black slaves chose to secretly take the money and run away, and the police launched a pursuit.
On the third day, all the unfinished orders at Mawson Laundry Factory were returned, and the bosses who had cooperated with Lizzie jointly demanded that he double compensation. Need to take responsibility.
In three days, Lizzie broke three teacups.
"I thought we could make money, but what happened? It turned out that we were already penniless! What should we do about the compensation? Tell me! What should we do about the compensation?"
Worried, he walked up to Josie and questioned harshly, "It was you who proposed the imitation of the Serra factory, and it was you who dealt with the slaves and assigned tasks. Now! Come up with a perfect solution for me! "
Qiao Qie's face was covered with spit, and her face turned pale, "You can't blame me entirely for this, sir, that's what you agreed to."
Anna Xi, who was beside her, was also too shy to express her anger. She originally proposed the imitation idea to her mother, but who knew they would end up like this.
"I heard from the servant that Baron Leiden sent a box of gold coins to Sera yesterday. How about we use that box of money to solve the problem first." She tried to come up with an idea.
"Where's Sierra?" Lizzie immediately asked the servant as soon as she heard that there was a solution.
"Miss Serra went to the factory early in the morning." The servant lowered his head and responded.
Because of the accident at the Mawson Laundry Factory, Sierra's factory orders surged, and coupled with the previous orders from wealthy people, the slaves in the factory also began to work overtime.
However, the treatment she gives is very good. She does not force everyone to work overtime, but adopts a voluntary system. Every extra hour counts as one hour's wages, so as to stimulate everyone's enthusiasm.
In just one day's work, the manager's hands cramped up while keeping records, and the smile on his lips never let go.
"Miss Serra, you are really amazing. In just one day, you brought back all the business you had done some time ago and increased it fivefold."
Sera gave him a few gold coins and said with a smile: "Work hard. You will be very busy in the next few days. This is also your overtime pay."
She has now paid off Rose Hill's debt and has become a rich woman.
But even in front of family members with whom you have a bad relationship, you still need to pretend to be poor appropriately.
For example, as soon as she came home, she took off her wide felt hat and asked the servant to put it away, when she was called into the living room.
"Sierra, our family is really in trouble right now because of the laundry factory. Where did the box of gold coins that Leiden sent yesterday go?" Lizzie asked immediately.
Sierra thought for a moment and suddenly realized, "Ah, you mean that box of money. I gave it to Mr. Rose Hill. What happened?"
Li Qi made fists with both hands angrily and waved them in the air vigorously, "What, how could you just give it away!"
"It's not a gift. Dad, have you forgotten that I still have several thousand gold in debt?" Sera responded with a smile.
Seeing this family's faces turn pale, she felt very happy.
"Moson Laundry Factory is losing money. We owe a lot of debt. From the time we opened the factory to now, all our work has been in vain." Lizzie stared at her closely. "Now that you have paid off your debts, how much money can you use to help your family?"
"No money." Sierra replied simply, "The factory run by my father has made me lose money one after another with overwhelming prices. Why do you think I have money?"
"Sierra, we have just collected a round of rent from our tenants, and now we have no savings to keep us company." Josie took a deep breath and forced her, "We still have a property in Leicestershire. If this crisis comes, If we can’t make it, we can only sell the land over there to fill the vacancy.”
Sera's face instantly sank, "That is my mother's last house. If you dare to sell it, I will not only strip dad of his title, but also make Anasi completely lose everything she owns now."
Her aura is intimidating, and she doesn't seem to be joking at all.
Moreover, public opinion is now on her side. The entire kingdom knows that she has a close relationship with Rose Hill. Who dares to buy her mother's house?
Lizzie sat back on the sofa, "The only thing we can do is sell the apartment we live in now. We can no longer afford the maintenance fees of the manor and the wages of servants."
"Master! This is our only home! How could you! If you want to sell it, you are also selling the house in Leicestershire!"
Qiao Xi wanted to say something more, but was slapped hard by the man.
