In fact, things were just as the Baron described—the young Miss Elizabeth Hockley had a smooth life in New York before, but her main position was in London after all.

In other words, Elizabeth is one of Karl's forwards in London.When the time is right, the Hockley family will increase their share of the London market.

Elizabeth followed Erica a few days after her return to London.This may be just a coincidence, but there is also something implicit in it to see Erica's jokes.

Women always have a natural hostility towards their rivals in love, and no matter how long they have been victorious, this hostility is still strong and timeless.As for Erica and Elizabeth, it is probably because seeing each other's life is not good, they will be very happy.

According to this rule, if Erica knew Elizabeth's current situation, she would probably laugh.

——After the baron returned home, a small conflict broke out with Elizabeth who came to visit.

"Honey, what did you say?" Elizabeth and Baron Dweck sat very close to each other, and their expressions were also very intimate.The Baron is always good at sweet words.Many times, Elizabeth knew that those words were unbelievable, but she still couldn't help but blush and heartbeat.

But when the baron said unwillingly: "That woman Erica hooked up with the Privy Councilor!", Elizabeth's scream almost made the baron sit down from the sofa.

He looked at Elizabeth in surprise, as if he had never known her before. ——Elizabeth's pretty face became a little distorted due to unknown jealousy and envy, and she lost the tenderness and sureness of victory in the first level.

But Elizabeth wasn't that shocked.Since she knew that Erica skipped the afternoon tea party in order to be a court witness for the Privy Councilor, she had a certain amount of speculation.

Now when the baron said this, there was only one sentence in Elizabeth's mind—"It really is. '

She took a few minutes to calm herself down, then looked at the baron and said, "Miss Erica has nothing to do with us anymore. My dear, I remember you have cut off contact with her, haven't you? "Her eyes were fixed on the baron. As a man who abandoned his fiancée's previous convictions, her trust in the baron was not as high as she thought.

"Of course it is, my dear. You have to believe that you are the only one in my heart. That Miss Dalton has never entered my heart at all." The baron was very sure what Elizabeth wanted to hear, and his answer made Elizabeth's heart tremble. My heart was relieved a little.

But he immediately went on to say: "What I want to discuss with you is another matter."

This is where Baron Dweck is most contradictory.On the one hand, he feels that the role of a woman is to embellish a man's wealth, to be a glamorous vase to the outside world, and to be a considerate and delicate flower at home.But on the other hand, many of his business decisions depend on Elizabeth's insights.

Otherwise, he would be the same as before he met Elizabeth, on the verge of bankruptcy, unable to maintain his decent life.

"What's the matter?" Elizabeth hopes to restore some of her image in the baron's mind, and make some business decisions for the baron, which will help consolidate her authority in the relationship between the two. Her ultimate goal is to hope that the baron It would be great to be her marionette.

"It's like this..." The baron leaned close to Elizabeth's ear, lowered his voice and explained his purpose to Elizabeth.

What the baron said mainly hoped that Elizabeth could directly introduce him to Karl.That way he can give Elizabeth a better life of 'no worries'.

Secondly, Dweck hopes to slowly transfer his industry from the United Kingdom to the United States. Since he offended the Privy Council here, a timely transfer is the best choice for him.After all, he has already obtained a large part of the property from the Dalton family, and in the future, under the protection of Green, it is impossible for him to cheat Mr. Dalton for a penny.

When Elizabeth first started, she listened to the baron with a hint of shyness.The baron's breath breathed in her ears, making her earlobes very bright red.

But soon, when she heard the baron's central thought clearly.Her face really sank.

When the baron smugly left Elizabeth's ear, Elizabeth stood up with a 'hoo'.She looked at the baron coldly, and said to him condescendingly: "Dweck, I think I know you very well. I will not promise you any of the two things you said."

"Why not!" The baron stood up too.He was taller than Elizabeth, and when he became serious at this time, it brought a lot of oppression to Elizabeth.She couldn't help but took two steps back.

"Your motives are not pure, Dweck, what can you do without me? Do you think you are just enjoying the shade of Hockley's house comfortably in London! I tell you, when necessary, my family It is also ambitious to occupy Green's raw material market!"

Stepping on her high heels, Elizabeth took another two steps forward. She looked imposing, and said loudly, "You can only stick here like a nail."

The baron said angrily: "Your family? Elizabeth, let me tell you, you will soon be a member of our Dweck family. I advise you to forget about your family. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise? Otherwise what?" Elizabeth raised her chin, looking at Dweck disdainfully.She said in an arrogant tone: "Remember, if it wasn't for me, you would still be the down-and-out aristocrat who had to rely on others for financial support and marry a knight's daughter. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be so prosperous now Stand here and talk to me. So, you have to remember, I can give you this, or I can take it away."

The Baron was taken aback by Elizabeth's words.

Miss Elizabeth, who has always been decorated with gentleness and carelessness, now looks so fierce and terrifying.She is not a vase that can be manipulated by herself, but a sharp dagger.

"How could you do this! I gave up on Erica for you. Look at her now..." the baron said incoherently, hoping that this would soften Elizabeth.

However, his behavior not only exposed his meaningless nature, but also inadvertently hit what Elizabeth hated the most.

"Erica, that bitch, won't be complacent for too long. If I didn't find you, but Mr. Green, now I don't need to waste time with you, a piece of trash."

Elizabeth's childhood was quite chaotic. After tearing off a layer of well-preserved skin, she finally lost her mind and used dirty words.

The baron sat on the sofa dumbfounded, watching Elizabeth leave his villa just like that.

After a long time, until Elizabeth had left his sight.He snorted softly, and said very irritably: "Do you think that if you go to Green, the Privy Councilor will want you!" He sighed, now he knows Erica's good, that kind of taciturn, In fact, he is honest and quiet, and what was once dull and ignorant has also become chaste and respectful.

Dweck sat on the couch for a while, then made up his mind—he was going to get Erica back.

In this way, after losing Hockley's support, he could at least get the property of the Dalton family.

As for revenge from the Privy Councilor?Just kidding, the Privy Councilor really likes Erica, how could he have the heart to hurt Erica?But since Erica took the initiative to be with her, does the Privy Councilor have any better choice besides suffering?

The baron was caught in the imagination of a bright future, and he only felt that he was full of ambition and the future was full of light.

On Erica's side, she bid farewell to Mr. Green, and started looking for the newly opened gallery based on the clues provided by Green.

She wondered how Ruth had come to London from New York.But at least one thing, she has already reconciled with Jack.

The Privy Councilor was worried about the safety of Erica going into the gallery alone.So Erica's operation was driven by an old driver.

Green's black Rolls-Royce is highly recognizable.Rolls-Royce is expensive, but Green's one is a custom-made model.

The old driver parked the car at the entrance of this newly opened gallery smoothly.Erica got out of the car and looked up at the name of the gallery: Ocean.

A very suggestive name.Although the location of this gallery is not very good, the surrounding environment is relatively chaotic.But this is not the kind of famous painting exchange, what is valued here is the future value of a painting.

Erica stepped into the gallery, and saw a painting that was as tall as a person facing the door.

This is a portrait sketch, different from the most popular abstract paintings nowadays, the person who wrote it should be Jack.His painting style is as always very realistic.

The person in this portrait is Ruth.The words are not bad.

Erica can draw by herself, and what she studies is realism. If she uses a computer, she can draw the shape of the object almost like the prototype through software.Jack's paintings, from this level, are relatively weak.

Erica appreciates it from an academic point of view, and can feel the fiery emotion of Jack drawing Ruth's falling body, but in terms of technique, she will not consider buying it.

While she was standing at the door watching, a beautiful girl with her hair tied turned out from behind.

She greeted from a distance: "Excuse me, is there any painting you like?" But when Erica turned her face to her, she called out in surprise: "Erica, it's you!"
