CEO Overlord Love: Contract Lover

"Madam, please tell me, if possible, I will definitely not refuse!"

"I'd like to ask you to borrow three hundred Harveys, Mr. Franklin."

"This..." Franklin touched his nose hesitantly.

"Mr. Franklin, only you can help me now, if you don't help me, my estate will be confiscated!"

"Mrs. Fidel, I really want to help you, but I'm afraid I'm powerless."

"why?"

"If you were in the UK, don't say 300, I can give you even [-]. But you have seen how difficult it is to survive in this kind of place. If you don't have money to defend yourself, it is really... ..”

"I see. What you mean is that you don't want to lend me money."

"No, ma'am, your words are too absolute!"

"Then since you don't want to, I won't bother you. I have to find a way to raise money elsewhere."

"Ma'am, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"

"What is it?"

"Don't borrow money anymore, it's just a conspiracy of the state!"

"What do you mean?"

"The country not only needs money, but also people! You give the money to the country, and they will also want the black slaves in your manor. By then, you will definitely have nothing! You will still be in debt!"

She had a stiff expression and didn't reply for a long time.

That's right.

She is indeed too careless.

How could she forget that those black slaves were forcibly taken to fight by the state five years ago?

Now it will definitely be repeated.

Even if she borrowed money, she couldn't keep the manor.

What's the point of giving her a broken piece of land without niggers?

......

"Madam, I advise you to give up this idea and buy a house in a small town and wait until the war is over! For God's sake, I'm willing to give you the money to buy the house!"

"No, even if you give me the money to buy a house, you can't give me a source of livelihood. I need to spend money on what I eat and the clothes I wear every day."

"That is indeed a problem, and what are you going to do about it, ma'am?"

"Hey, by the way, Mr. Franklin. Why doesn't the country ask you to collect land taxes and the black slaves who robbed your factory?"

"Oh, speaking of that, how lucky I am!"

"how?"

"The country is at war now, and it needs timber to build ships. I am the only timber factory in the country. Of course, the country dare not do anything to me! It even tried to curry favor with me to produce more! As for the black slaves, I never taught them to be real The country won’t be able to ask anything even if it captures it! It’s better to keep it for myself!”

"Mr. Franklin is indeed a business genius, and he is so thoughtful!"

"Where, where is it!"

"By the way, Mr. Franklin, I have an idea, I wonder if it's okay?"

"Mrs. Fidel, please tell me."

"Let me stay in this lumber factory and help out. First, we can take care of each other. Second, I really have nowhere to go now?"

"Madam, of course, if you want, I don't mind letting you live here for a long time!"

"Thank you very much, Mr. Franklin."

"But ma'am, there is one thing that bothers me."

"what's up?"

"That's your job problem. You know that there are only female slaves here besides male slaves. You suddenly moved in. How should I introduce you to them?"

"Just say I'm your wife!"

"what?"

"Yes, just say that! That's the best way! Mr. Franklin."

"But wouldn't that be too disrespectful to you, ma'am?"

"Oh, what are you talking about in a place like this!"

"Then since you've made up your mind, it's hard for me to say anything."

"Then it's settled, Mr. Franklin."

"Yes, Mrs. Franklin."

......

It was just so inexplicable.

She went from Mrs. Fidel to Mrs. Franklin.

It was just so inexplicable.

She went from a farmer to a lumber mill owner.

It was just so inexplicable.

Franklin died of illness a month later, and she was single again.

......

Fortunately, Franklin taught her the production and cutting methods of wood, otherwise she really didn't know how to manage the whole wood factory.

The income of the lumber factory is hundreds of times that of the previous manor. In addition to the daily food and clothing, she also has some extra snacks to eat, or go to the town to cut some clothes.

What is her current standard of living equivalent to?

It is roughly equivalent to the living standard of the bottom workers in China.

But here, she is almost the richest man.

......

"Ma'am, someone is looking for you outside." Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door, breaking her contemplation.

"Okay, I'll come out now."

She put down the milk tea cup in her hand, stood up and walked towards the door.

It has been more than two months since the land war ended, and the residents outside are looking for wood to rebuild their homes, so she has received several times more business than before.

She followed the nigger to the gate of the lumber mill.

Since the door was a tight wooden door, she didn't immediately see the people outside clearly.

The nigger pulled the door open and sideways let her out.

When she saw someone coming, her footsteps subconsciously stopped in place.

Because it turned out to be Born Well.

How could he come to her in person?

She thought he had forgotten their agreement.

"Mrs. Fidel, no, Mrs. Franklin." Born held out a hand to her.

"Captain Vail, long time no see." She held his hand politely.

After shaking it two or three times, she instinctively wanted to withdraw it, but Bo En unexpectedly squeezed her hand tightly.

She was inexplicably taken aback, and looked up at Bo En.

"Mrs. Franklin's behavior is always beyond my expectations. She even married again in less than a month!" His tone was gentle, but his tone was obviously mocking.

"Really? Why don't I think so."

He is not someone to her, why should he pay attention to her private life?

"Why didn't you wait for me?" Born suddenly said.

"What are you waiting for?" She looked at him incredulously.

"Wait until I get out of prison, and then I'll lend you money. Why don't you even want to wait a month to marry a bad old man?"

"Mr. Franklin and I fall in love with each other, Captain Vail, are you thinking too much?"

"What a match." His expression was a little dark.

"Thank you." She didn't know how to answer, so she nodded silently.

"Divorce him."

"what?"

"I'll take you away, you divorce him."

"Are you taking me away? You mean you are willing to take me out of this place? But isn't it a naval battle now?" She ignored all his affectionate words, and directly grasped the point and asked him.

"It is indeed a naval battle, but this is our only chance of escape. I have received word that there will be another battle here in a few months."

"What! Another war?"

"Yes, now we can only fight together, otherwise we may die in the chaos."

"Of course I am willing to take such an adventure, I have long wanted to leave this ghost place!" She was excited.

"I can take you with me, but what about the conditions you promised me?"

"What conditions?"

"Divorce Franklin and marry me."

"My God! What are you talking about!"

"I'm saying I like you, don't you really know that at all?"

"No...God behold, I never thought you'd think that way about me!"

"Now that I've told you, Mrs. Franklin, how would you react?"

......
