On the slate road under the night, a luxuriously decorated carriage was driving quickly but steadily. The coachman sitting high in front of the carriage was wearing a neat livery, with his chest out and his stomach in a very airy manner.

The carriage didn't care about the surrounding vehicles at all, swaggering and speeding in the middle of the road, the carriage going in the same direction had to be forced to tilt to both sides to make way for it, causing bursts of low-pitched curses, but All these voices disappeared after seeing clearly the family crest of thorns and thorns on the carriage - it was the crest of the Campbell family.

The driver of one of the carriages that gave way shrank his neck in awe, and silently drove the carriage closer to the side of the road, but he didn't want to think that it was dark and the road was narrow, and the horse driving the carriage staggered, knocking the carriage heavily.

"What are you doing!" An unhappy male voice came from inside the car, "The road is so wide, do you have to pick the edge!"

The coachman hurriedly took off his hat to apologize, but still couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "That is the carriage of Earl Campbell's family. The Earl may be sitting in the carriage. How dare I refuse to give way?"

"Whose carriage?" A pleasant female voice came from inside the carriage, followed by a slight movement of the carriage door, and a pair of slender jade hands stretched out, and then the person in the carriage also showed respect—it was Brenda Douglas. Miss M and her brother Ellen Dom.

The coachman had never seen anything like this before!He swallowed nervously, and said with a smile, "It's the carriage at Earl Campbell's residence."

A hint of joy flashed across Brenda's face, and she hurriedly asked, "Did you see clearly?"

The coachman nodded again and again, and swore back: "Of course! The moon is so bright tonight, I can see it clearly! There is no other family whose family crest is the same as that of the Campbell's... Although this time is a bit early, Earl Such a distinguished status should not have come early..."

The first time he spoke to the hostess's lady, he obviously wanted to show off for a while. He didn't want Miss Dom to retreat into the car immediately after hearing his previous words, and then slammed the door shut.

"Go on!"

"What do you mean..." the coachman muttered a few words in dissatisfaction, but he didn't dare not listen, so he could only continue to drive the carriage and head towards the main venue of the dance tonight along the original road.

"Brother, did you hear, it's the Earl, the Earl has come to the ball!" Miss Dom in the car was full of joy, clutching the fabric on her chest, she didn't know what to say, "He must be today The hostess of the evening, the Marquise Sol, invited me! I don’t have a dance partner yet..."

"Okay, Brenda." Alan Dome interrupted her, "Maybe the Earl is here with some girl? Aren't you going to lose face?"

"No, it won't!" A trace of panic flashed across Brenda's face, then she calmed down again, shaking her head and said, "I've never heard that Your Excellency the Earl is getting close to any lady—brother, you know, My popularity has always been good, if there are any rumors, it is impossible for me to know nothing about it."

Alan Dom smiled inexplicably and didn't say much.

Although he has been staring at Stuart, the Campbell family is a veteran noble after all

, There are countless capable people around him, and he doesn't dare to stare too closely, if he is discovered, he will suffer!

Both his father and himself were officers serving under Earl Campbell. If he really wanted to deal with it, he didn't even have to do it himself.

Power!

Alan Dom's eyes are full of greed and passion, even if their abilities are far from enough to bring down Earl Campbell, as long as this can be done!can be...

"So, the man behind the scenes is Ellen Dom?" Just like the scene Miss Dom least wanted to see, there were two people sitting in the carriage of the Campbell Mansion, besides the owner, Earl Campbell, there was also a young woman It was Wu Zhao who had just listened to Stuart's story about the deception Chris' family fell into.

"Yes." Stuart nodded. He also looked a little unhappy. Although Dom's family was not his confidant, they were also named as the old marshal. The peddler has already brought him over to identify him, so he is sure it is Little Dom—he dare not entrust his servants to do this kind of thing, he took the risk himself."

"He didn't think he could bring you down just by doing this, did he?" Wu Zhao was a little amused, "Isn't the biggest possibility that this matter was suppressed quietly and thoroughly investigated by the way?"

Stuart was also a little helpless, he said: "From the evidence that can be found, even if it is confirmed that it was Dom, it can't be said that it is aimed at me, it is more like aimed at Fitz."

"That's right." Wu Zhao naturally understood the key point, she nodded, "After all, you have a high position and power, and it is impossible to pull you down with such a little evidence. But to damage your reputation and lure opponents by the way It is still possible to suppress your power in the military and Congress, such a trivial matter."

"On the contrary, my brother is the most affected. If you don't scratch your skin, you will still hurt your muscles and bones. If something like this happens, the most likely thing is that you simply give it up. It's best to just push it out and be a scapegoat. This is exactly what they want. Said Maybe they have already prepared cash and took the opportunity to buy the shares of the shipping company at a low price."

"Three birds with one stone, a good idea." Wu Zhao shrugged, "I just don't know if this is the idea that Mr. Dom came up with himself or if there is an expert behind it."

Stuart's expression was serious, apparently woken up by Wu Zhao, and he pondered: "I haven't thought about it that way...but what you said makes sense, this kind of big movement doesn't seem like the Dom family can do it by themselves. Hands—Old Dom is in a daze, he only thinks about his newly married wife; Little Dom is immature, and has never been exposed to core affairs since he worked as a quartermaster for five years, and it really doesn't seem like he can come out of experience."

Wu Zhao didn't speak any more. The next thing involved the internal affairs of the army and Stuart's family. She didn't want to intervene any more. Anyway, Stuart himself would investigate in detail.

"But I didn't go so early today because of this." Stuart suddenly smiled at Wu Zhao, and said ambiguously, "Campbell is not a character who will swallow a loss. Of course, you must be able to slap your enemies." Shake it as loud as you want."

Wu Zhao is also one

Laughing, raised eyebrows and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I heard that Alan Dom is interested in you. Coincidentally, Brenda Dom is interested in me." Stuart leaned closer to Wu Zhao's side ambiguously, and asked softly, "Does my future Doesn't the countess want to teach her a good lesson so that those noble ladies will never dare to think of me again?"

Wu Zhao was not dazzled by the beauty, she pushed Stutt's forehead and said with a smile, "Why do I think there is something in your words?"

Stuart raised an eyebrow at her.

"I think you're saying, right at this door, you have to teach Little Dom a lesson, so that those aristocratic boys don't dare to think of me again?" Wu Zhao returned the original words.

"It's the same meaning." Stuart sneered twice, "I'm waiting to see Miss Darcy show off her prowess."

The carriage had already stopped at the door for quite a while, and the coachman heard the conversation between the two and did not dare to disturb him, so he stopped talking, and then respectfully replied: "Your Excellency, you have arrived."

"Please—" Stuart quickly got out of the car, and slightly stretched out his hand towards the inside of the car. Wu Zhao glanced at him, but after all, he didn't refute his face, and gently put his hand on his palm.

Wu Zhao just stretched out his hand from the car, when he heard the sound of hooves behind him also stopped, and a man and a woman got off the car, as if they saw Stuart here, the woman trotted away with her skirt up Come here—it is the Dom brothers and sisters who are a few steps behind.

Miss Dom ran a few steps, and stopped a few steps away from Stuart as if she was a little embarrassed. She straightened her skirt and dragged gracefully step by step. approached.

"Your Excellency, it's been a long time. How are you?" Miss Dom blushed, she didn't dare to raise her head, and hurriedly bowed her knees and said, "My father has been looking forward to seeing you again, and it will be his birthday in a few days , have been hesitant to send you an invitation."

"Miss Dom, I think maybe you can get a seat in front of my carriage first, so that Benjado can take me next, and then you can talk about inviting guests on behalf of the father?"

Brenda was startled, and quickly turned her back to take a look. She couldn't help but be surprised that her eyeballs almost fell off. Is there someone in Earl Campbell's carriage?or a woman?

Brenda cried out, "Why are you!"
