Chapter 50: plan failed
Evan and Duke Wilson went to rest in the corner, but for the people around, the place where the Duke is is the center of the whole banquet, so even if they are very low-key sitting in the shadow of the corner At the place, but there are still countless eyes swept over.
Duke Wilson frowned impatiently, glanced at Evan beside him, and finally said nothing.
Evan didn't pay attention to these eyes. Now he is all thinking about how to get along with the duke in the future. Now that the image he maintains has initially stabilized, how will he gradually get along with the duke in the future? Emotional deepening, this is a very difficult problem.
First of all, he is a priest. As a spiritual profession in this era, a priest's character is very important. What's wrong will also make him passive, but he can't be too indifferent, which will give the duke a wrong perception. With the duke's character, I'm afraid they will experience more tests.
When I thought of this, Evan drew a cross on his chest, the duke's ghostly side, in the original Evan was already frightened, he did not have the powerful halo of the heroine, so don't take it lightly Try this behavior.
Evan clenched his fist lightly, and finally decided to adopt the tactic that he was at first detached from. There will always be a day when the duke can't help it. When that day comes, take action. In order to deal with the situation in front of him, Ferde's threat has not been completely resolved. He needs to use the power of the duke to make Ferde eliminate his hatred for him. The first step in this plan is to make Ferde realize , things were not easy back then.
A dark light flashed in Evan's eyes. At that time, Ferd did not know that his father had found the original owner. If he knew about this, then things would be easier to deal with.
After the banquet, Colonel Mel personally sent the Duke and Evan out of the manor. Although Colonel Mel's manor was not as grand as the Duke's manor, it was remarkable. Evan was actually a Somewhat surprised, how did this Colonel Mel gather such a large fortune? You must know that many retired soldiers like him who have no family background are not very happy in life.
Although Evan had doubts in his heart, he winked and did not ask more. Colonel Mel is a decent gentleman, and his wife is a capable parishioner. He knows these two points. , was enough for his parish priest.
Evan returned to Cornwall Manor with the duke's carriage. Because of the evening's entertainment, he couldn't support it.
Duke Wilson followed Evan upstairs, his room and Evan's room were separated by the corridor, Evan stood at the door of his room, looked back at Duke Wilson, lowered The voice: "Good night."
Duke Wilson stared straight at Evan, with brilliance flashing in his eyes, there was no sound between the two for a long time, until Evan felt a little weird, Duke Wilson suddenly looked at He smiled, and there was a hint of light joy in the corners of his eyes and brows.
"Good night, Evan."
Evan's name slipped from the tip of his tongue with a hint of connotation.
Evan couldn't help but shudder, this person... this person...
Duke Wilson brushed past Evan, and the corner of his clothes hit the back of Evan's hand as he left. The texture of cotton and linen made the back of Evan's hand a little itchy. Evan couldn't help covering the back of his hand with the other hand, he gritted his teeth, turned and entered the room.
Evan leaned back on the door, gasping for breath, but his eyes flashed with excitement, Duke Wilson, he would never let go.
Evan quickly walked to the desk, his tired body and mind was terribly awake at this time, he looked at the book on the table that Duke Wilson gave him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth , In this world, no one can get him except himself.
**
Evan was woken up by the footman early the next morning. He had tossed too late last night. When he fell asleep, the horizon had already broken. Now get up and let him are a little uncomfortable.
"Mr. Pastor." The footman looked at Evan worriedly: "That gentleman came again that day."
Hearing this sentence, Evan, who was still rubbing his temples, suddenly stopped his hand. The gentleman in the servant's mouth, if Evan guessed correctly, should be Ford.
Since the last time Evan saw Ferd alone, Duke Wilson has given instructions to the entire Cornwall manor. When Evan sees guests again, a servant must be present, beautiful Its name is to be able to pay attention to Evan's body at all times, but how well Evan understands the personality of the duke, he knows that the thoughts of this duke with a strong desire to control are not as simple as he shows.
"Where's the Duke?" Evan asked unintentionally. He took the shirt from the servant and put it on by himself. He didn't like being served personally. dressing habits.
The valet's brows were sorrowful: "The Duke is talking to the gentleman in the living room."
Looking at the valet's expression, Evan knew that the situation at the scene might not be very good, and he had a bottom line in his heart. Duke Wilson didn't like Ferde very much in the first place, not to mention this I'm afraid that his sense of Ferde has swayed to the bottom.
"I see." Evan took the coat from the servant's hand, put it on by himself, turned and walked downstairs.
These two people are the dooms of their own destiny. Whether they can turn the crisis into safety depends on his ability.
With a smile on his lips, he looked very gentle.
Evan's expression turned slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and walked in from the door.
"Your Excellency the Duke, Mr. Ferd." Evan nodded towards the two of them, his expression indifferent.
The Duke saw Evan coming in, the coldness in his eyes suddenly turned into a soft color, he nodded slightly, and even smiled at him imperceptibly.
He smiled and said, "Pastor Bruce."
I just got on good terms with Ferde, and this pocket watch is also one of the inconspicuous pieces of money that Ferde scatters, but now it seems, it can't help but make a lot of sense.
Evan walked to the chair beside the Duke and sat down, looked at Ferd calmly, and said warmly: "What's the matter with you this time? Is there something wrong with Mrs. Johnson? ?"
Folder visited when Duke Wilson was there, and it must be on business.
Folder couldn't help but smile: "You are really clever, it is indeed Mrs. Johnson's problem."
Evan raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Duke Wilson.
Duke Wilson was very satisfied with Evan's first reaction, he resisted the tensed arc of his mouth, and whispered: "Mr. Verd just told me that the court froze the accounts of the Johnsons , I can't raise a penny now."
Evan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard it, and suddenly remembered what Sheriff Chandler said last night. He was really quick and took action so quickly.
"This is really a shocking thing, what's going on?" Evan asked in surprise.
Folder hooked his lips sarcastically, with a hint of impatience in his eyes: "Sheriff Chandler is a ridiculous person, he used to swear that the murderer was the secretary, but now But she said that Mrs. Johnson was also suspected, the judge listened to Sheriff Chandler's nonsense, and actually made such a verdict, it is unbelievable!"
Folder's irritability is very reasonable. After all, he is also involved in this matter. He finally persuaded Mrs. Johnson that if there is another problem in this level, then he really can't let go .
"It turns out so." Evan smiled bitterly: "Actually, Sheriff Chandler told me about his suspicions to me last night, but I didn't expect him to act so quickly. ."
Folder frowned when he heard Evan say this: "Sheriff Chandler told you?" His tone was a little bad: "Then why don't you Tell me, if so, there is room for negotiation on this matter."
Folder's accusation was very rude, but before Evan could react, Duke Wilson suddenly sneered: "Mr. Ford, I heard Evan say you are a gentleman , but I didn't expect you to be so rude to question Pastor Bruce. Is this a situation that Pastor Bruce would like to see? It was late at night when we came back from Colonel Mel's manor last night. How do you ask Mr. Pastor Tell you? Besides, this incident was originally a police matter, so it would be too confusing for you to blame Pastor Bruce!"
Folder did not dare to refute the Duke's question, but looked at Evan's eyes, but his eyes became colder.
Sorry for the rude thing."
Folder's apology made Evan a little surprised. He didn't expect that in the original owner's memory, the arrogant demon king who was so arrogant would also apologize with such a low eyebrow and pleasing to the eye, and Evan also felt in his heart. I couldn't help but feel some sympathy for Ferd, it seemed that he was really hurt by the original owner very badly.
"I can understand your feelings, you don't need to apologize, but the Duke said something right. Now this matter is under the jurisdiction of the police, I'm afraid we can't do anything now." Wen said softly.
After all, there is a way, if I remember correctly, the bishop is a good friend with the justice of the county court, and maybe we can start from this aspect.”
Evan was a little surprised by Ferd's proposal, which didn't seem like a temporary idea.
"Is this... feasible?" Evan asked tentatively.
Folder curled his lips slightly, glanced at Duke Wilson, whose face was not very good-looking, and whispered: "Of course it is possible, you only need to sign when I write the letter. Your name is fine."
Evan's heart moved, and a harsh alarm sounded in his mind.
