After Charles sighed, he immediately found the correct posture to get rid of Annette among several alternatives——

Hurry up, marry a real noble lady or a woman of similar status, and make a marriage contract, Annette can't catch up with her.If he was more ruthless, maybe Annette would automatically walk around him!In the era of Catholicism, divorce was basically a dead end. It was impossible for Annette, who was already a married woman, to come up with any tricks for divorce and marriage proposal!

Speaking of which, his father always wanted him to use his marriage to obtain a noble title in order to enter the upper class, so it wasn't completely useless!Although he doesn't care about his noble status at all, but everyone else does, isn't that enough?

At this time, Shire never expected that in the end he could use a similar method to achieve the goal of getting rid of his mistress without being secretly retaliated against, but that's for another story.Now that he had an idea, what he said to Annette was no longer the same as before, and he had to think twice every time. "You are very kind: in any case, the matter is not yet finished, and it is too early to tell."

"Did you say that to them just now?" Annette asked with a smile. "Looks like I'm going to be like them, returning home with feathers?" She said as she slowly folded her fan, her long eyelashes drooping, and there was a sense of loneliness in her movements.

Charles could see it, but he didn't feel distressed, he just felt his scalp tingling.This woman's number of paragraphs is too high, no wonder the original owner still can't get rid of her influence at the end of the original work!However, this method is okay to deal with the original owner who thinks she is so good, but for someone like him who has no interest in her at all, it may be better to keep her as far away as possible.

Just when Charles was about to find an excuse to slip away, the teammate's godly assist came again-Alphonse saw Annette looking for him, and immediately sent someone to tell him to go over.

With god-like teammates, what god-like opponents are you afraid of?What's more, time has changed whether there is a god or not!

As for Annette, she stayed where she was, already faintly feeling that things were completely out of her control.It's not because Shire is always found on the way, but because she finds that she has no reason to look for it.

Half a year ago, exhausting her imagination, she would never have imagined that Charles would actually be able to do a business worth 300 million francs by himself.It's okay if you don't know, after knowing, you can no longer use the original coping method.

At best, she can deal with wives, ladies and young masters. How can she handle people who really know how to do things?But Shire has unknowingly become such a person. Could it be that she has been mistaken for several years this time?

Annette was very reluctant to let Charles go.Her young lover is rich and beautiful, and can talk sweetly about herself; but today, after not seeing each other for so long, the soft-hearted one is also cold-hearted, and it seems that she really has to prepare for the worst.

With that problem solved, Charles's Christmas break is going well.Now that Annette was sure that he was clever enough, he stopped bothering to write those love letters that they didn't believe, and replaced them with a tactful parting letter.Unsurprisingly, the other party said some polite words of retention, but in essence there was no objection at all.

If there were to be any consequences of this peaceful breakup, it was after Shire lost power.So the most correct way to deal with it is to make a lot of money and become a local tyrant, and let Annette shut up wisely.

Probably good things come in pairs—Charles had just settled the matter of his mistress, and Guillaume had good news—he finished checking Logan and Suche's problem books, and found out with extreme anger that this Both of them have been cheating on him for the past few years!

"They signed an agreement with some vineyard owners behind my back," Guillaume huffed, his beard curled up, "They set one price, and sold it to me at another price! They made the difference. Let's go!" He took the path of small profits but high sales, but he didn't mean to make small profits for himself!

Charles realized.Guillaume tried his best to get rid of his origin, so he never collected wine in the Loire Valley, and chose Burgundy far away.This can indeed avoid meeting people you have known in the past, but at the same time it increases other risks, such as the possibility of being deceived by a joint effort.

"If it weren't for the fact that the national debt cannot be faked like this, I'm afraid they would have to cheat me like this!" Guillaume continued.Out of safety considerations, he never bought stocks; now it seems that this has avoided a greater loss.

Charles tapped his fingers on the solid wood tabletop. "If you borrow more money through them to buy booze..."

"The money will eventually fall into their hands!" Guillaume quickly pointed this out. "Hmph, that's a good plan—to borrow money together in their and my name, and when the time comes, won't it all belong to them? If it doesn't work out, I will be responsible for the bankruptcy!"

"So..." Charles now understood what happened to Guillaume's ending in the original book. "Your reputation is good, and people are willing to lend you money; they take advantage of this, use you to get gold from others, and put it in their own pockets. In case you can't pay the principal and interest at that time , they appear to be bankrupt with you; but in reality, you are primarily responsible, and they still have the gold they have kept from them!"

Guillaume nodded, he hadn't been so outrageous for many years.He has also cooperated with Logan Suchet for 20 years, and he doesn't know why the two became like this; if he doesn't find out in time, he will really go bankrupt next year at the latest!

But at this time, the reason is not the point, the point is the way of handling it!

"They have to go to court, they have to! I have visited several other judges and they have agreed to open the case. The first thing in court after the new year is to hear this."

"The process has already started to go, asset freezing, and personal control. They can't run away—including those who grow grapes, and there must be none—"

"As much as they eat from me, let them spit out! If it is not enough, the prison will give it to you!"

These few words, Guillaume uttered like a cannonball, which shows that he is really anxious.

Charles patted the back of his father's hand reassuringly.He had never seen Guillaume, who was always gentle, speak in such a fierce tone, obviously this time he was stepped on the bottom line. "That's good. Don't be too angry. It doesn't pay to be angry."

Guillaume took a deep breath and pressed Charles' shoulder with his backhand. "That's right. After learning this lesson, you won't make mistakes in the future! You have already started to touch these things, so you should be more careful in the future."

"I remember." Charles nodded.But what he thought in his heart was that no one who could compete with him for a job had yet appeared!

As a result, less than a week after Christmas, most people are still immersed in the festive atmosphere, and the big events of the new year split the sky like a bolt from the blue——

The Grandet family broke up with the notary broker who had worked with them for many years, and they have already gone to court to meet them!

"What's going on here? Is it related to the previous order of the Duke of Orleans?"

"Even if Guillaume disagrees with Logan and Su Xie joining, it wouldn't be such a big commotion, would it?"

"Whatever the reason, even if Guillaume has to avoid the case for his own reasons, he knows other judges! Wait, he is still a colonel of the National Guard..."

"That's right, these two dared to push Guillaume into a hurry!"

Before the trial, the wind direction has been one-sided.After all, compared with Guillaume, the latter two are really nothing.To be honest, they all relied on Guillaume's east wind to climb to their current position step by step.Coupled with the fact that the Grandet family is now on the rise in their careers, this tendency of everyone is quite normal.

There were so many curious people that on the day of the court hearing, the auditorium was full.Charles sat at the front, his face sinking like water; Guillaume stood on the plaintiff's seat, his expression as black as ink.

Everyone looked at them, and then looked at the two people in the dock (although they tried their best to pretend to be calm, but the frequent glances at Guillaume, Charles and the jury had already exposed them), they suddenly felt that they were wise and mighty, and they had already Guessed the result.After listening to the process again, this feeling became——

Guillaume really doesn't know people well, and he actually raised two white-eyed wolves!Fortunately, it was discovered in time, otherwise the result would be mysterious!

The case of suspected economic fraud has already been punished with a fine, and then sentenced according to the severity.The evidence was conclusive and the plaintiff was an acquaintance, so the jury was happy to sell Guillaume's face and deal with it more severely.So the final result was that the amount involved in the case exceeded one million francs, all property was confiscated, and he was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Logan and Su Xie are no longer young people, and this action can almost prevent them from getting out for a lifetime!

Hearing the verdict, Charles's tense face looked better.This is not a question of whether they are ruthless, but if they are not ruthless, it is their problem that they will die.

People don't hurt the tiger's will, but the tiger eats people's hearts, so what can we do?Only eternal trouble!Although he believes in the purpose of making money in a low-key manner, he can't let people ride on top of his head!In this way, if there are other people who secretly want to attack their family, they should know how powerful they are, right?

Although Xia Er felt that he was indeed relieved, but in the eyes of others, his expression did not change from the beginning to the end.Logan and Su Xie regretted halfway, and he was completely unmoved.Only when the verdict was pronounced at the end, he seemed to smile, although the speed seemed to be an illusion.

The young master of the Grandet family is amazing!Don't look at the friendly-looking ones, if you offend them, you won't know how they died, right?

Disturbed by this incident, Shire's other arrangements had to be postponed for a while.Fortunately, he was lucky. The day after the verdict came out, Colonel Roschild gave him a reference for acquisition——

According to the quality, it is divided into three grades, and the unit price of each is 180 francs, 190 five francs, and 210 francs.Most of the wine is in the middle grade, followed by the highest grade, with an average price of just over two hundred francs.

Both Charles and Guillaume felt that this method was fair.After all, several people have handled this batch of wine, and the quantity is large. It is really impossible to guarantee that each barrel has been seen and drunk in person; the quantity is not well controlled, and it is normal for the quality to be somewhat uneven.However, according to this trend, they will definitely get a higher transaction price next year.

In this way, the Grandet family had a net income of 100 million francs for the whole of last year, earning the sum of the previous seven or eight years in one go!

Guillaume was happy to see his teeth but not his eyes, and happily handed over Paris affairs to Charles, and then personally took people to Burgundy to find trouble with those vineyard owners who dared to deceive him.

Don't blame him for being rude if you don't eat a toast and eat fine wine!

Paying the money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand, the treasury of Grandet's family was filled with gold, and it was time to think about how to spend it.Unfixed property is not something that can be bought just by buying it. Shire turned his attention to treasury bonds, short-term stocks and bonds.At this moment, he finally remembered that Victor hadn't come out to improve his presence for a long time.

What the hell is this guy up to?Are you so busy that you don't want a lot of money?

To tell you the truth, it was the first time that Charles had seen the richness of borrowing 25 francs without an IOU.It's just that if it drags on, with Victor's usual attitude towards him, maybe he really thinks that he is playing hard to get!
