Chapter 63: strange lady
Evan looked in the direction of the voice, two women came out of the crowd, Evan looked tight, Alia?
It turned out that the person who just spoke was Arya, and there was another lady standing beside her, a strange woman.
Evan pinched the cuff, he seemed to have an impression of the woman.
"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Arya." Ferd smiled and looked at Arya, a woman's jealousy is really the best tool to use, since Arya was in the last time After the Cornwall Manor suffered a loss, the whole person began to move closer to him.
"You just said you can prove this, is that true?" Ferd looked at Arya with great concern and said.
Alia bit her lower lip and glanced at Evan who was standing beside her, feeling a little uneasy in her heart, but still said firmly, "It's true."
Fold's eyes filled with a smile, and his tone suddenly softened: "Then do you have any evidence? Pastor Bruce is a decent gentleman, and you are also a lady, I don't want Because of this, your reputation has been damaged."
Folder said it very decently, but from time to time his eyes glanced at the lady beside Arya. The lady was wearing a long brown dress, her face was very pale, she looked like It's not very beautiful, but her eyes are very clear, like a girl who is not familiar with the world, but looking at her appearance, she also knows that this lady is not too young, at least twenty-five years old. above.
Alia nodded, gently patted the shoulder of the lady beside her, and said warmly: "Mr. Ferd, I understand your kindness, but for this matter, I had to speak, no matter what the position of Reverend Bruce in Delan Lier, he couldn't treat a lady like this."
Evan's expression suddenly sank when he looked at Arya and the lady. The woman he knew was a parishioner of his previous church, called Irina, and also his own A crazy suitor.
This woman is the first stranger she has met since she came to this world. When they met for the first time, Evan was still in a state of ignorance, so she treated everyone very Caution and gentleness, but I didn't expect that this woman would be misunderstood in the end, and what was even more terrifying was that this woman was a widow, her husband was killed in the war, and she became a widow at the age of eighteen, such a social status, in This era is even more taboo among taboos.
Not to mention that Evan was familiar with the future direction of things, so he resolutely rejected this woman's favor. After that, the woman also did several crazy actions, such as running in the middle of the night Going to his residence and knocking on the door, or coming to church every day to pester him, and finally when the order to transfer came down, Evan was almost relieved.
In these days in Delan Lier, this woman has long since faded from his memory, but seeing her again today, Evan's surprise is stronger than anyone else.
Alia's slightly ambiguous words made everyone around her agitated, the Duke frowned slightly, and immediately said coldly: "Miss Alia, if you have evidence, take it Come out, don't you think it's a little false to play a righteous man here?"
Alia's face was flushed by the Duke's sarcastic words, she almost couldn't help but want to run out, but thinking about the next plan, she resisted this urge, Ignoring Dr. Hester's anxious gesture, he gritted his teeth and said, "My evidence is the lady by my side, Irina, Irina used to be a parishioner in the parish before Pastor Bruce. A poor widow, her husband died for the country, but Reverend Bruce seduced her and promised to marry her when she was at her saddest, but finally abandoned her ruthlessly, and according to Irina, even if While the two of them were okay, Pastor Bruce also had inappropriate relationships with many ladies and gentlemen!"
Alia's remarks suddenly caused an uproar among the people around, no one thought that those rumors were true, it turned out that the well-dressed Pastor Bruce was really like this One person, each of them pointed at Evan who was still calm, but his eyes glowed with excitement. Such anecdotes were like Christmas for the quiet town residents.
The face of the lady beside Arya turned paler and paler. She seemed to be a little unstable and swaying. Fortunately, Arya immediately supported her , which prevented the lady from falling.
Duke Wilson looked at the two women with a gloomy expression, until the surrounding noise finally subsided, and Duke Wilson glanced at Ferd, who had a bright face, and said: " Oh? Is that so?" Duke Wilson looked at Irina: "Ms. Irina, is everything Miss Arya said true?"
Irina held Alia's hand with a pale face, and then she barely stood still, she stroked her chest with the other hand, and said in a weak tone: "Dear Duke , what Miss Alia said is true. I thought Mr. Bruce Pastor was an upright person, but this ending really broke my heart. Although I am a surviving person, I am also dignified. , Mr. Pastor's promise gave me hope, but in the end it drove me into the abyss, I really..."
She couldn't help crying, Alia stroked her back with one hand and embraced her, but looked at Evan with a bit of hatred, as if there Standing there was an unforgivable man.
Evan still didn't respond, just crossed his chest with both hands and closed his eyes.
A sneer appeared on the corner of Duke Wilson's mouth, and he turned to look at Evan, his expression was much gentler than before: "So, Pastor Bruce, do you have anything to say?"
Evan opened his eyes and looked at Duke Wilson, his eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest impurities, his expression was calm and unwavering, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him relation.
"No, my lord, I have nothing to say."
Evan's silent gesture made the surrounding townspeople even more excited, and the surrounding air suddenly became a little turbulent. In their opinion, this was the default gesture, and they all began to use a kind of The critical eyes looked at Evan, straightforward and naked, if it wasn't for Duke Wilson's presence, I'm afraid the curse would have boiled over.
But even so, Duke Wilson's eyes are still quiet, as if he knew he would do this for a long time, but Evan's palms are already wet at this time, and this gambling game concerns him In his entire life, he has never put his life in the hands of others.
"Your Excellency Duke." Although Evan's reaction surprised Verde, he would not miss such a good opportunity, and immediately said: "Since Pastor Bruce has nothing to say, So can this be settled?"
Duke Wilson turned to look at Ferd with a half-smile, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "Mr. Ferd is really eager, just a lady's words make you so excited ?"
The smile on Ferd's face froze, and he felt a little bit of hatred in his heart. He has already reached this point. Does Duke Wilson still protect Evan?
"Your Majesty, this lady Irina is the witness you want, and Pastor Bruce did not refute what she said. Isn't the matter already clear? You still need What kind of evidence?" Verde's tone was slightly irreverent.
Duke Wilson looked at him coldly and sneered: "Since you said so, can I say a few words, although Reverend Bruce has nothing to say about this matter Yes, but I still have something to say!"
Duke Wilson's last sentence was unusually severe, and the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down, and Irina, who was crying in Arya's arms, couldn't help shaking. shake.
Alia hugged Irina's shoulders tightly, a bit of unwillingness in her eyes, why did he care so much about that person.
"Chris, bring someone here." Duke Wilson sat down on the chair and waved to the butler Chris beside him.
Butler Chris saluted the Duke gracefully, turned and walked towards the carriage.
The people around were staring at Butler Chris, and at this time they suddenly wanted to bring people over. To be honest, the curiosity of these people was swayed by the Duke.
Butler Chris walked to the side of the carriage, nodded slightly towards the carriage, and said respectfully, "Pastor Robert, Lord Duke, please come over."
Pastor Robert? Evan's eyes tightened, but he breathed a sigh of relief. This pastor was the pastor who loved to drink when he was in that church. It's just that although this pastor was lazy, he was a good person.
, She saw Irina beside Arya at a glance, and her face suddenly showed an angry look.
This is a scam, and the expression is still a bit resentful.
Pastor Robert led the little girl to the very center of the square, bowed to Duke Wilson who was sitting on it, and said warmly, "Lord Duke, thank you for your invitation."
Duke Wilson hooked his lips sarcastically: "You are too polite, my invitation this time has brought you a lot of trouble, and I would like to ask your forgiveness."
Robert waved his hand very respectfully, humble but not flattering.
Folder saw this scene, and knew in his heart that this matter would be over, but at this time he was already on fire, and he couldn’t help it at all. Not hearing about it weakened his vigilance. He didn't expect that the Duke was really prepared.
"Mr. Reverend, do you know these people who are standing behind you now?" Duke Wilson pointed in the direction of Evan and Irina.
Pastor Robert's eyes were not very good, he squinted his eyes for a while, and finally said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Evan? My reliable pastor assistant, I heard that you went to the school The town is a pastor, so is it in this place?"
Evan smiled at Pastor Robert: "Yes, Pastor Robert, it's really nice to see you." Evan's words are really a sigh from the heart .
At the stall where the two were chatting, the little girl couldn't help it, she rushed directly in front of Arya and pointed at Irene, who was already panic-stricken in Arya's arms Na, said loudly, "Pastor Robert, look! Irina actually came here!"
