[Comprehensive Classics] Killing the Classics

Since you want to act, of course you have to play a full set.From being cold and sternly refusing, to softening her expression and refraining from speaking, Anya acted as if she was really living in pain and struggle.

Of course, Wickham also took advantage of the victory to pursue and make persistent efforts.He is not like Anya, his ten fingers are all glittering with gold, but his acting skills honed in life are extremely good. A loving glance, a few sweet words, a gentle and considerate attitude, just a little bit is enough to make a girl fall in love with him , not to mention that he is still trying his best now?

So Wickham never thought that he would fail emotionally one day.He wondered if Anya was the reborn Miss King, but regardless of whether she was blessed by God like him, Wickham must become Mary King's husband, even for the few thousand pounds of property .

With money, and the knowledge of so many years to come, it was not difficult for the ambitious Wickham to win a place in the circle of high society.And after that... Naturally, more wealth and beauties will come rushing forward.

Feeling that it was enough heat, Anya nodded slightly when Wickham proposed to her again on a sunny afternoon.

Wickham's face showed ecstasy, half pretended, half sincere.He approached Anya and wanted to kiss her on the cheek, but Anya raised her hand to reject his approach, and said pointedly: "No, listen, Mr. Wickham... I hope you can promise me one thing .”

Wickham immediately asked enthusiastically: "What's the matter? No matter what you say, I will do my best to do it for you."

"My physical condition is very bad now." Anya said bluntly, "And I don't want the situation like last time to happen again..."

"No, my dear Mary," said Wickham, "how do you think I shall ever make you sad again in this life?"

"Please listen to me, Mr. Wickham." Anya's face turned cold. "I just want a guarantee. I can't forbid you to contact other women, and I can't guarantee that your heart will always belong to me. But, if you really want to marry me, then before you get married, I ask you and Sever contact with everything in the past, and those confidantes. I don't think this is too difficult for you, right?"

It's really not difficult, Wickham swore without hesitation, saying that he would cut off all ties with the past.

After the goal was achieved, Anya showed a shy look and bluntly said that she needed to be quiet.After seeing Wickham off, she wrote two letters, one to Elizabeth and the other to Miss King's uncle.

Wickham desires wealth, so use wealth to hook him.

The news of Wickham's successful proposal to Miss King quickly spread throughout Baileyton.This seaside city is not too big, and there are many gentlemen and ladies in the country.When they heard that the most handsome young man in the militia had successfully proposed to an ordinary woman, many unmarried ladies sighed.But it didn't take long before a piece of news swept over the ears of the people of Brighton like a gust of wind—that George Wickham owed a large amount of debts in London and the city, even There are also a lot of gambling debts!

It was calculated that at least a thousand pounds would be required to pay his Brighton debts.Under the impetus of caring people, this number quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys, and successfully reached Wickham's ears through other people's mouths.

Wickham was, of course, taken aback by the news.In his previous life, he was indeed forced to escape due to debts, but these rumors only broke out after he left. Why did they appear so quickly now?Not only that, but those creditors and merchants also seemed to have heard the news of his financial crisis, and came to ask for money one after another.Wickham pretended to be calm, and after sending them away, he hurriedly began to think of countermeasures.

As long as he can marry Miss Jin, the debts in Bailitun will not be a problem.Once the money is wide, Wickham is confident that he can accumulate a fortune in a short period of time.Fortunately, he has successfully proposed to Miss Jin now. If he behaved a little pitifully and told her that he couldn't think about getting married when he was in debt, it would not be difficult to coax her to give him the money given how affectionate Miss Jin was to him.

What's more, Miss Jin is nothing more than an ignorant country girl. As long as you say something nice, it shouldn't be difficult to get money from her.

Wickham made up his mind and visited Anya again.However, as soon as he appeared, he saw Anya sitting in front of the fireplace holding a letter with a sad face.

"Oh, you're here, Mr. Wickham." Anya saw him with a surprised expression on her face: "I'm going to ask Miss Nancy to find you."

Wickham came up and kissed her hand politely: "My dear Mary, have you encountered any difficulty?"

Anya sighed, and handed him the letter in her hand: "My uncle in Liverpool wrote a letter. He heard some rumors from somewhere, and strictly forbids me to be with you."

Wickham took the letter, just glanced at it and felt like a drum-what's the matter?Why would even Miss Jin's uncle know about this?

Anya observed his expression, and said sadly: "My uncle is really too strict... How could you owe a huge debt? This is absolutely nonsense, I don't believe it."

Wickham had a few thoughts in his mind, and put down the letter: "No, Mary, your uncle is right... I am indeed in huge debts, and I don't have any financial strength to repay them."

Anya yelled, as if she couldn't accept this fact, she fell backwards.Wickham hastened to support her, and rang the bell for the maid to bring up the smelling salts.After a while, Anya opened her eyes with a confused look: "Mr. Wickham, everything you said before was a lie to me, right?"

Wickham said helplessly, "No, I'm telling the truth, Miss Jin."

Anya's eyes were full of tears, and she said in pain, "Oh, but why did you owe such a large debt!"

Of course Wickham would not tell her the truth.He carefully said: "Actually, it was a mistake I made when I was young... I was born rich, and my father was a friend of a famous gentleman. I have never been short of money since I was a child. After my father died Afterwards, I also received a legacy and the assistance of that gentleman, he liked me very much, and even wanted to adopt me as an adopted son..."

Anya said loudly: "But, what does that have to do with your debts!"

Wickham felt angry for a while, but seeing Anya as if she was about to faint after suffering from a thunderbolt, he still resisted the urge to hit someone, and explained in a soft voice: "But, if you don't If I pay off these debts, I will not be able to get married with peace of mind."

He knelt down affectionately and held Anya's hand: "How can I marry you with a debt? It will damage your reputation!"

Anya looked touched and said loudly: "Oh, I don't care! God, I don't care about this! Wickham, we're going to get married right away! Nancy! Nancy! Go and get us a carriage!"

Nancy, the maid, poked her face out from behind the curtain in bewilderment. It wasn't her job to make the carriage ready!

Wickham missed this detail, and was in a hurry to act: "No, my dear Mary, I would not risk your reputation in the slightest. We are a fianc I can get a wife like you, but I don't want to marry you with a dishonorable reputation!"

Anya's eyes were moist, and she murmured: "Then what should I do? Oh, Wickham, if I could lend you money, I would definitely do it without hesitation. But my uncle warned me that if I Let the property in my hand flow out before marriage, and he will apply to deprive me of my inheritance."

Wickham was very surprised, he had never heard of such a thing: "How is this possible! The property left by Mr. Jin belongs to you."

"However, my uncle is also qualified to inherit these properties!" Anyway, Wickham didn't know the situation of Miss Jin's family, so Anya just made up nonsense.

Wickham grew anxious.He originally thought that Miss Jin's personality was simple, and it would not be difficult to get her help if he just coaxed her... But now she actually said that she could not lend him money.hell!Could it be that he is going to be chased by creditors to ruin his reputation in this life!

Anya took the initiative to hold Wickham's hand, and her voice became very soft: "My dear Wickham, if there is anything that can help you, I will definitely help you. But now, my uncle does not allow me Using too much property before getting married, and not allowing me to associate with people who are not decent... I think maybe we will not see each other for a while soon."

Wickham wondered how he got out of that house.He stood across the street, looking up at the familiar window, filled with resentment.

Why, there are always people who have so much money in their hands, but do not allow others to control it?He has become Miss Jin's fiancé, isn't that enough?According to her tone, her uncle will soon pick her up to live with her for a while...

That does not work!Miss Jin is gone, and if he has no money to pay off his debts, he will be ruined... Is he going to elope with Lydia again!

Wickham's eyes became gloomy.He stared at the window for a while, and suddenly had another idea.

Anya sat in the living room without moving.She had a presentiment that Wickham would come back again.

Sure enough, within a few minutes, the sound of treading footsteps sounded.Immediately afterwards, Wickham appeared in the room.His handsome face was full of excitement, and there was unmistakable affection in his eyes: "Miss Jin, if we can go far away and get married elsewhere, would you like to leave here with me?"
