When Martin went back to report, he was still a little uneasy, because he heard doubts in Alan's tone, and he was afraid that Sir Jones had not fallen into the trap, and Mr. Darcy would think he was useless, so he dealt with him.

After listening to Martin's description, Mr. Darcy's expression remained unchanged.

On the contrary, Anxi chuckled.

This laugh made Martin tremble all over. He looked at Anxi in horror, fearing that the word 'death' would come out of his mouth the next moment.

Darcy waved him off without making any judgments about the matter.

Anxi glanced at Darcy unexpectedly. He didn't expect that an upright and kind gentleman would have such evil tastes.

That greedy but cowardly Martin will probably be terrified day and night in the next few days.

Darcy coughed lightly, pretending not to see Anxi's playful eyes, and changed the subject, "Did you deliberately let Martin show his flaws?"

What Martin said to Allen was explained by Anxi in advance.

If he wanted Martin to do it more perfectly, Anxi could do it, but he didn't, so he let Martin say a one-week time limit.

The average person will definitely suspect that there is a fraud when they hear such a short period of time. Even if they do not doubt, it is difficult to raise enough pounds in a short period of time.

It didn't fit their plan.

On the other side of the mine, Darcy has negotiated in advance.

Earl William knew that someone was willing to take over the shares of the iron mine, and he was willing to do so. He had arranged it as quickly as possible. No matter who went to check, he would find out that it was a mine rich in iron and could bring huge profits. field.

The reason why the earl secretly sold this part of the shares was because of his illegitimate son.

Earl William was an amorous man, and his affairs were widely circulated throughout London society.

It is said that when Earl William was young, he once had a girl whom he loved to death, but that girl had an ordinary family and did not meet the marriage standards of the earl's family.

The family tried every means to force the earl to give up the girl, but the earl, who was loyal to love, would rather give up the right of inheritance than agree.

However, the earl is the only son of the family. If he really gives up, the title will be passed on to a distant relative. The earl's parents absolutely do not want to see such a result.

So, they pretended to agree to the earl, but in fact, they played tricks to make the girl disappear completely.

Since the girl disappeared, the earl has become more and more alcoholic and decadent. For the sake of family inheritance, the old earl and his wife forcefully married him a wife, and used tricks to make that wife the heir of the earl.

After having a son, the earl gradually returned to normal. Although he still didn't want to see his wife, he was no longer as unhappy as before.

But the count has a new hobby, which is to find a lover.

The count found countless lovers, some with facial features like the girl, some with the same hair, some with the same eye color, and some with only hands.

Everyone knows that the earl is looking for a substitute to comfort himself that he has nowhere to rest, love!

The Countess didn't care about the Earl's behavior at all, as long as those lovers didn't give birth to illegitimate children, she didn't know about it at all.

After more than ten years like this, the old earl and his wife passed away, and the earl inherited the title and the power of the William family, and became an important figure in the upper class of London.

The William family has lasted for hundreds of years, and their status and strength should not be underestimated. Although the earl was frustrated emotionally, he surpassed his father's generation in terms of ability.

In such an era of great change, Earl William decisively abandoned the conservative traditions of the old nobles and supported new industries.He himself has reaped huge profits from it.

For example, investment in iron mines is one of his most proud achievements.

A few years ago, Earl William spent some money, even lost some profits, and snatched one-third of the mine from the enemy.

Outsiders may think it's not worth it, because the original benefits may increase the assets of the Earl's family to a higher level within a few years.

But mines are different. Although the prospect is great, the investment in the early stage is also a large sum, and the preparation time is not short.

That mine only officially started production last year, and the profit for the year is still extremely limited.

Of course, this year is much better, and if there is no accident, it will grow geometrically year after year.

In this case, the earl has already seen the benefits, and it is visible, huge benefits, so why did he sell it again?

Now I have to talk about that girl.

Unexpectedly, that girl reappeared after more than ten years.

She dragged her dying, but still beautiful and shocking face, quietly found the earl, and asked him to take care of their children after her death, even to adulthood!

This poor girl has no extra demands, nor does she need any financial subsidies, she just hopes that her child can live to adulthood smoothly.

After saying this request, the girl died of illness and died in the arms of the distraught earl.

After the investigation, the Earl discovered that in order to force the girl to leave, the old Earl and his wife threatened the safety of her only mother.

The girl was in pain, so she could only agree, but just after she left London with her mother, the old earl's subordinates actually wanted to kill the two of them with the idea of ​​killing them.

The mother died to protect her daughter. Although the girl saved her life, she still hated the earl's family.

Therefore, even though she later found out that she was pregnant, the girl never thought about going back to the earl.

More than ten years later, the girl gave birth to a boy. In order to be able to raise the child, she suffered so much that her body could no longer bear it.

But the son hasn't grown up yet, he is only 14 years old, if no one takes care of him, he probably won't grow up.

After thinking about it, the girl finally gritted her teeth and found the earl at the last moment. She only asked for one thing, and that was to let her son grow up safely. She didn't want anything else, as long as he was safe.

But how could the earl who loved the girl so much agree, this is his own son, the son born to him by his beloved girl.

Look at how much he looks like himself, the William family's blond hair, facial features similar to his own, and those big clear green eyes like a girl's.

This sudden appearance made the earl's heart full of love. The earl wanted to give him the best, wanted him to enjoy the glory and wealth, and wanted him to live a wanton and unrestrained life.

For this purpose, Earl William arranged for his illegitimate son a noble status and the top education, but this was not enough, he also needed a lot of money.

Only with money can he guarantee his future life without worry.

Therefore, the earl planned to sell his most profitable property, that is, the shares in the mine, and then use the money to buy a rich family property for the poor child.

And the reason why he is willing to find Mr. Darcy is because Mr. Darcy currently has enough funds and keeps his promise. As long as he promises, he will not tell anyone about the illegitimate child.

In this way, his son, the son born for him by his beloved girl, can live a bright and aboveboard life without having to face other people's pointing fingers or bear those contemptuous eyes.

For this reason, the earl prepared all the materials and sent them to Darcy's house.

And Mr. Darcy, after reading the information, was very moved, and the two agreed to trade in a week.

These are all the information prepared by Darcy and Mr. Earl for a certain Sir.

"Darcy, I'm curious, does the so-called illegitimate child really exist?" Anxi took a sip of tea and asked curiously.

"Of course, Mr. Earl's sexual history has been circulating for more than ten years, and most of them are true. As for the illegitimate child, although few people know about it at present, those who are interested can still find out." Darcy nodded lightly.

"Ah, sure enough, true love is not worth the profit, and the reputation of 'beloved son' is not worth the temptation of money." Anxi didn't really think that Earl William loved that girl so much, and the double was just an excuse to find a lover openly That's all.

He just didn't expect that the earl was decisive. As soon as he heard the leak from here, he immediately came up with such a plan, pushing a child who had just returned to his father's side to the forefront.

This made Darcy and Anxi a little uncomfortable, but they didn't stop it.In fact, doing so is not bad for the child.

Since the earl advertised that it was for the illegitimate child, he would more or less have to give the illegitimate child some money when the deal was completed.

I just hope that child is smart and knows how to keep money in his own hands, so that his future is guaranteed.

"By the way, Darcy, I think that child needs to know a good lawyer who is kind and upright. At least he will be reminded of the lawyer who asked the earl to sign a property transfer document."

Darcy immediately understood Anxi's meaning, which was to ask him to find someone to remind the child not to hand over the money once he got it, and with the Earl's letter of assignment, no one could claim it back from him in the name of the Earl.

For example, the righteous countess, such as the future heir to the earl.

It's not that Anxi wants to favor the illegitimate child, it's just that since they used the child's name, they have to give him some benefits, and it's only a 15-year-old child, he hasn't made any mistakes.

If possible, he even hoped that someone would take that child out of England and go to France and Germany, any place would be good, and he would live well if he had money.And there is no need to face other people's pointing, and possible suppression from some people.

A little smile finally appeared on Darcy's face, "I hope that child is smart, and don't be blinded by the so-called family affection."

Anxi smiled, "Probably not. He has a very smart mother. At least at the current stage, the Earl still has a little love for this illegitimate child."

She could use her own death to calculate the earl's guilt towards his son, that girl was both smart and cruel.

Such a person taught, shouldn't be a stupid person, right?

Darcy nodded, and got down to business, "A week is enough for Sir Jones to find out the information, but it doesn't seem to be enough for him to raise enough funds."

"Darcy, we have money." Anxi reminded.

Darcy paused, and instantly understood what Anxi meant. He wanted to force Sir Jones to sell his assets, and he wanted to sell them in a short period of time. That must be the most profitable wave of assets.

He couldn't help but glanced at Anxi, not only calculated that he would spend a lot of money to buy a stock that would definitely lose money, but also let him sell other most valuable assets.

Hmm... a bit harsh.

Darcy, however, began, "We need an agent, one that Sir Jones would not suspect of being in collusion with us."

"An agent you trust," Anzai added.

"What do you think of Bentleys?" asked Darcy.

"Of course he's fine, but Sir Jones knows about your relationship with Bentley, right?" Anxi asked uncertainly.

"Because of this, I want to introduce Sir Jones to him in a fair and honest manner."

Anxi and Darcy looked at each other and smiled, understanding each other's thoughts.
