Chapter 542 Seed
"Tell me the truth, is Madam Bess on the same level as the Lord in Yellow and the Dream Witch?"
"How did you see that?"
Oh my goodness, Jake just admitted it like that?!
It’s almost time to reveal the truth, right? The manor owner’s control over this world has become deeper and deeper. Soon, the unprecedented game that the manor owner has always wanted to launch will begin... Not to mention the manor owner, even they are looking forward to it.
.................................................. ........................
Cough!
Okay! Let’s get back to the topic!
By the way, the expression on the novelist's face when he heard Jack admit it so easily was really wonderful!
He originally thought that it would take some talking and arguing for a while.
However, if it was just about surprise, the novelist was actually just a little surprised that Jack told the truth so quickly.
As for the news that Mrs. Bess mentioned by Jack is actually on the same status as the Dream Witch and the Lord in Yellow...well, it doesn't seem to surprise the novelist too much.
After all, with such obvious facts, even those with dull minds would be able to figure out the clues if they paid a little attention...
So, for a novelist, it is not surprising. After all, don’t forget that you are a novelist. After all, you are a novelist. Associative things like this are common in writing novels.
So the question is, why did this novelist come all the way to ask Qiu Ke and others about these situations?
It turned out that all he did was to get a definite confirmation.
After all, no matter how many speculations and inferences there were before, they can only remain at the level of imagination.
Only after obtaining personal confirmation from the parties involved, can these speculations truly take root and turn from fantasy into real truth!
"So what does Mrs. Beth want to do here? To continue the experiment of inheriting this manor, or just for fun?" No matter which one it is, it can't be worse for them now.
"Laugh!" At this moment, Mike raised his head and explained, "The owner of the manor, Mrs. Bess, wants you to laugh, laugh from the bottom of your heart."
What kind of strange answer is this?
Mike's confusing answer left the novelist confused.
.................................................. ........................
the other side,
Even Kreacher, who was always known for his strength, couldn't help but feel sincere amazement and sympathy for the fate of Richard.
What kind of misfortune could befall such a young child so frequently?
According to Kreacher's recollection, if he remembered correctly, Richard had just returned to the Sterling family not long ago, probably less than four months at most.
However, what was unexpected was that during this short period of time, the poor child was sent back to his original place again.
Of course, the word "send back" may not be appropriate.
In fact, to be more precise, it was due to a series of sudden changes within the Sterling family that they were unable to find other suitable and easily contactable relatives to take care of Richard.
Coupled with the fact that the family itself was facing many difficult problems, it became extremely inconvenient for Richard to continue living there at this moment.
After careful consideration and repeated weighing, the Sterling family finally decided to hand Richard back to the director of the orphanage who had generously accepted him.
But although he said so, Kreacher felt that it was only because the Sterling family encountered some major changes and began to weaken, and the first child they decided to abandon was Richard. They had only brought him back in the first place and didn't have much affection for him. The fewer mouths the better.
However, although he despised the actions of the Sterling family, it was impossible for Kreacher to not accept this poor child, Richard.
"Welcome back, Richard. Your friends are asking me where you have been. Come and play with the other kids."
.................................................. ........................
Kreacher was explaining various matters to Richard in an orderly manner. At this time, the experienced and sharp-eyed old butler of the Sterling family was standing not far away, quietly observing Kreacher's every move.
"Oh, so that's how it is..." the old butler thought to himself, "Is this the prey that the 'venomous snake' has targeted?" He narrowed his eyes slightly and fixed his gaze firmly on Kreacher.
Kreacher was wearing an old patched suit, and his thin body looked like it would fall down if the wind blew.
However, in sharp contrast to him is the scene in this luxurious orphanage: the children's faces are all filled with happy smiles, they are wearing new and beautiful clothes, and they all look healthy and fair. In this situation, anyone can easily see that this man named Kreacher Pearson is definitely a kind-hearted person.
If time could go back hundreds of years, the old butler even thought that people might be able to read about Kreacher's deeds in the biblical stories circulating today.
Unfortunately... fate is so cruel! Kreacher has been targeted by the "venomous snake" of the Sterling family, and it is difficult for him to escape this bad fate.
Just like a lamb caught in a trap, no matter how hard he struggles and resists, he can only watch himself being entangled by the vicious "snake" little by little until he is completely swallowed up into the dark abyss.
Thinking of this, even the old butler, who had always been hard-hearted, couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.
However, this sympathy was only fleeting. After all, having been in a wealthy family for many years, he knew very well that in the face of cruel reality, so-called kindness was often the most useless thing.
What's more, the butler is just a servant of the Sterling family, and their only master is the "Viper". Now that the "Viper" has set his eyes on its prey, what he as a servant should do is not to blame, but to assist.
"I'm really sorry, Mr. Pearson. Our young master has to trouble you again. If possible, this is a little savings of mine. I hope you can accept it."
After saying that, the old butler handed out a bag with both hands. Kreacher could guess at a glance that there must be a lot of money in it, but Kreacher didn't take it.
Of course Kreacher couldn't accept it. His was an orphanage, a place that provided shelter for homeless children, not a human trading market. He didn't need money from the "abandoned".
.................................................. ........................
After Kreacher refused to accept the stack of banknotes he handed over without hesitation, the old butler showed a thoughtful expression on his face, as if he instantly understood the reason.
Why did this man named Kreacher Pearson become the target of the "Viper"? The answer seems to be obvious.
Kreacher in front of us has an ordinary appearance, but when people really get to know him, they will find that his inner self is like a dazzling pearl.
His pure, flawless, snow-white soul was hidden deep beneath his seemingly ordinary human body.
This pure white soul is so pure that it is amazing, just as holy and spotless as the twelve apostles under the throne of God.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this rare innocence and kindness that he is as eye-catching as the brightest star in the night sky, but it also attracts the malicious and greedy gaze of the "Viper".
You know, in the legendary Garden of Eden, the "poisonous snake" coiled around the apple tree successfully tricked Eve into eating the forbidden fruit with its cunning and temptation.
And now, facing an existence like Kreacher who exudes such charming light, how could the "Viper" let him go easily?
.................................................. ........................
After sending Master Richard here, the old butler will return to the Sterling family.
However, as soon as he returned to the Sterling family's mansion, the old butler immediately put on a horrified expression.
"Master, this is terrible. I found that Master Richard seems to be missing!!!"
However, at this time, the Sterling family was troubled by what was happening at home and in business. They had no time to care about Richard, and did not want to care about him at all.
"Don't worry about it. It's probably just a kid playing around again. I don't know where he went. Don't worry about him. Come and help me look at this financial document."
Logically speaking, as a butler, he should not look at this kind of thing, but unfortunately, the old butler mentioned before has been with the master since he was still a young master. His ability is obvious to all and he has even been praised by the previous family, so it is okay to ask him to help with the finances, or it is justified here.
However, the old butler did have outstanding abilities, and he saw it at a glance. There was actually nothing wrong with the financial report, but... because of recent events and what Master Richard had done secretly, this financial report was much less than last year.
But why didn't Master Richard see it?
Let me explain it this way. There is a large jar of rice in front of you. You grab a handful of rice from it every day. It seems that the amount of rice in the jar seems to be no different from before, but after a year, the amount of rice in the jar will probably be at least half less.
[It's a pity that he is a useless person who only holds a family position. I didn't see it. 】
If it was the previous butler, he might not think so, and would sincerely want to help Master Richard deal with the finances that have begun to go downhill, but he will not do so now, because after seeing the real "venomous snake", the waste who occupies the position of the head of the family should get off the stage.
If you talk about the friendship we have had for so many years, you should be a little hesitant.
Haha, how is that possible? These servants of the Sterling family have long had an iron rule engraved in their blood and souls, that is, the only one they serve is the "Venomous Snake".
.................................................. ........................
"Master, I feel that this financial report is very wrong. It's as if... someone secretly took the money out of the treasury."
At this point, the old butler seemed to suddenly realize what he had said, and then quickly bent down and stepped aside, "I'm sorry, sir, I shouldn't say these things, then I will go down first, and I will bring you some refreshments later."
After bowing deeply and closing the study door, and after confirming that there was no one else in the corridor, the old butler finally couldn't help but laugh softly.
“Hehehe…”
A sound that sounded like low crying or suppressed laughter kept coming out of the butler's mouth.
It was really great... He felt the trembling of his soul, not for anything else, just for the slavery that had been engraved in their souls since childhood... He helped the "Viper", he assisted the "Viper", what a great honor it was...
.................................................. ........................
Sure enough, what he said was very useful. Not long after, he heard the quarrel between the old man and the lady again.
Haah....what a wonderful piece of music! No wonder Master Richard always liked to stand at the door and eavesdrop...
It’s a pity that Master Richard is not here now, but it doesn’t matter. The excellent servants will write down all the details for him and then pass them on to him one by one.
Please be patient, my master, the seeds have been planted and will soon sprout and take root.
