It took Colonel Brandon several months to solve Elisa's matter, which was a nightmare for him. He has always loved Eliza very much, even though this child has nothing to do with him, but he But she has always treated him as her own. Who would have thought that such a child would do such a thing, that she would elope with a man and become pregnant with that man's child!

Colonel Brandon was heartbroken, but he had to work hard to settle the matter, whether it was for Eliza and the frail baby or for his own face, he could not let it have the possibility of getting out.

So after he temporarily settled Elisa and the child, Colonel Brandon found Willoughby who had deceived Eliza.

At this time, Willoughby has completely dumped Marianne, and is engaged to the wealthy Miss Gray, which is a time of prosperity.When he came back from Miss Yugray's appointment outside and saw Brandon suddenly appearing, he was completely unaware of Colonel Brandon's purpose for a few seconds.But his mind always turned fast, so he soon realized that Colonel Brandon might have come for Elisa's affairs.

However, Willoughby didn't care too much. He had inquired about Eliza's identity before he seduced her. From Willoughby's point of view, Eliza was just Colonel Brandon's adopted daughter. Regarding Lisa's matter, Colonel Brandon should not do anything to him for an adopted daughter who has lost face.Besides, the baby in Eliza's womb has been aborted, and Colonel Brandon can only blame him for sleeping with that silly girl. This is nothing in the upper class, so Willoughby thinks that Colonel Brandon If you are smart, you should hide this matter as soon as possible, instead of coming to trouble him.

If there is no matter about the child, Colonel Brandon probably would not have looked for Willoughby, but what Willoughby did not expect was that Elisa bought the maid Willoughby sent to her after being asked to have an abortion, so the child It was not destroyed, and a child was involved, that would be a big deal.

Colonel Brandon felt extremely disgusted when he saw Willoughby's pretty face. The two had also pursued Marianne Dasherwood before, and they were considered old rivals in love. , That is simply a deep hatred.Brandon has always been very tolerant of his feelings, but this time he did not restrain his emotions. When Willoughby approached, he almost had a murderous look on his body, and it seemed that he wanted to kill Willoughby with a sword. To hack to death.

Willoughby was taken aback by Colonel Brandon's aura. In Willoughby's eyes, Colonel Brandon had always been a meek old man, not to be feared, but at this moment he remembered that Colonel Brandon was a soldier. His status was all obtained by killing, how could such a person be as harmless as he appeared.

"Mr. Willoughby, I think you have time to chat with me?" Colonel Brandon said, squinting at Willoughby.

Willoughby nodded palely, and stammered, "Yes... yes, I mean of course I have time."

"Then can you tell me what makes you feel that my daughter Alyssa is something you can bully at will without paying any responsibility?" Colonel Brandon clasped his scepter in both hands, his chin almost hitting the back of his hand ' ' I said, squinting dangerously at Willoughby.

Willerby's face turned paler, and the way Colonel Brandon looked at him really frightened him, and he could feel the cold sweat starting to break out behind his back.Willoughby barely maintained his composure, swallowed his saliva and said, "We are in love with each other, yes, we are in love with each other. I hinted at her before, and she agreed."

When Colonel Brandon heard Willoughby's words, he despised him even more in his heart. He was too lazy to deal with this cowardly man, so he asked sharply: "Do you think a lady who has been around at school all year round and has never really started socializing will Your dirty hints? Now, Mr. Willoughby, tell me like a man what you're going to do?"

"I've already compensated her, we've settled the matter, and Alyssa agreed!" Willoughby said. Although Alyssa was forced to agree by him at the time, that was what she said, right? ?

"Compensation, Mr. Willoughby, is your so-called compensation five hundred pounds and a stupid maid? Do you think this money can compensate Alisa for her injuries and the future living expenses of a child?" Colonel Brandon He sneered and said, at first he came here because he wanted to have a manly duel with Willoughby, but now he suddenly didn't think so, and a duel with a man like Willoughby was an insult to himself, this man Since he is willing to abandon love and self-esteem for money, let him lose his favorite money.

"Child?" Willoughby spit out in shock, "Hasn't the child already been killed?"

"Thanks to your maid, she is as open to money as you are, and she can betray everything with just a little money." Colonel Brandon said, and then he looked at Willoughby from head to toe, and said, "You look like It is indeed possible to please Miss Gray, but if she finds out that you have a child, will she still like you as much as she does now?"

"What do you want, Colonel Brandon, don't you care about your own face?" Willoughby jumped up from the sofa at the threat.

"I think you should consider your own face first?" Colonel Brandon said.

Willerbi's feet were a little soft. He glanced at Colonel Brandon, sat back on the sofa again, and asked dejectedly: "What do you want to do? What compensation do you want, as long as I can give you some money?" I am willing to give you everything."

"Alan Han's manor, there is also [-] pounds of parenting fees. The house will be transferred to Alec's name when he becomes an adult. Please pay the [-] pounds within a month."

"What, are you kidding? Allenham Manor belongs to my aunt. Who knows if she will give it to me, and where did I get [-] pounds? If I had this money, I wouldn't marry Miss Gray!" Willoughby said angrily with his eyes widened upon hearing these two conditions.

"I believe that with Mr. Willoughby's ability, Allenham Manor will definitely fall into your pocket. If it really doesn't belong to you in the end, then you can buy another nice manor for Alec. If it weren't for you Our own manor is too bad, so we don’t need to bother. As for the [-] pounds, no matter what method you use to get it together, I must get it after a month.” Colonel Brandon said, and then he stood up and prepared to leave this place.

"No, you can't do this! This is an impossible condition." Willoughby followed up and shouted.

"Losing Miss Gray or paying this, Mr. Willoughby, please weigh for yourself. I will come again in a month, and I will bring my lawyer with me. I hope you can bring the forty thousand pounds." And your quill. But you can rest assured that I will not bother you again until the contract is signed and Alec comes of age." Colonel Brandon said without turning his head.

After Colonel Brandon left, Willoughby covered his face and cried sadly. He never thought that his affair would turn out like this. Unfortunately, it was too late to regret now. The only thing he could do was follow Brandon’s advice. The colonel said to collect the money, otherwise he believed that Colonel Brandon would do what he said, and he would definitely be the ugliest person at that time.

The Steele sisters and Georgiana were in a carriage on their way to the Darcy family's estate in London.Lucy was lying on the bed and looking at the street scene in London. From a distance, she saw Colonel Brandon coming from the opposite side with a cane. She pulled Annie's hand excitedly and said, "Hey, Annie, that's Colonel Brandon, shall we stop the coachman and go over to say hello?"

Anne glanced out the window, and it was indeed Colonel Brandon.Annie hesitated for a moment whether she should stop the carriage and say hello to her old friend, but when she saw Colonel Brandon's terrible face, she immediately dismissed the idea, she looked back and said, "Lucy, I miss Brandon The Colonel must now prefer to be able to walk alone."

Lucy obviously also saw Colonel Brandon's expression, she immediately retracted her upper body, leaned against the car door and said, "Yes, I think he must be upset that someone is disturbing him now."

Georgiana glanced out of the window curiously, and then said, "Who is that Mr. Wei, he looks quite old."

"It's a friend we met in Devonshire. He's a soldier. He's really a bit older, but he's not married yet, so he's pretty close to us. I'd say he actually likes Annie, but he His vision is not very good, and he has always liked a proud and disgusting lady before he liked Anne." Lucy said.

"He likes Anne?" Georgiana cracked her sense of crisis. Colonel Brandon did look a bit old, but he was also imposing, not much worse than Mr. Darcy, and he could be regarded as a powerful one. opponent.

"It's just a second choice. What he really likes is that proud lady, but she doesn't like him, and he is at the age where he needs to find a good wife, so you know what this kind of liking is." Anne shrugged her shoulders and said.

"So that's the case, then you must not like him." Georgiana immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but for this, Colonel Brandon is not as good as Mr. Darcy.
