For some reason, it was supposed to be a happy memory, but I had a terrible dream, as if there were a pair of snake-like eyes staring at all of this, ready to bite at any time.

The girl got up and was stunned for a long time, with her hands on her heart, listening to the slightly different and fast heartbeat, that kind of suffocating feeling of being surrounded by darkness and being in the boundless deep sea and unable to breathe.

Is it an early warning of something, death?Before last night, she might still be able to force herself to face it calmly. Death is not a terrible thing, but after last night, she seems to suddenly have a strong desire to survive and be nostalgic for everything in the world. Looking at William, she wants to live desperately.Who knows if there will be a third chance of resurrection after death, whether she will have memory after resurrection, whether she will be an enemy of William, she cannot guarantee everything that is unknown.

"Sister Chrissy? Are you up?" It was Louis who knocked on the door. The girl realized that she might have been in a daze for a long time at this moment. Everyone must be a little puzzled to see that she hasn't gone down yet. "It's okay, I'll get up right now, sorry, Louis."

"It's good that you're fine." Listening to Chris's voice, Louis felt relieved. When they came back last night, they didn't see Chris. Brother William said with a strange expression that she had already fallen asleep. No, Louis thought Chris was sick.

After getting dressed, the girl combed her hair and stood in front of the door, but just as she was about to open the door, her hand paused for a moment at the scene last night. The shame was too high, and she wasn't sure if she would reveal her face to William. The obvious flaw, the hand was still unconsciously put on the mouth, as if the smell of the strong wine had not dissipated, the temperature that did not belong to her, the girl's face turned red again, she tried her best to calm down, After going downstairs, I hurried to wash up, using cold water to cover up the slight blush.

When she was sitting at the dining table, she was the same calm and calm Chrissy as before. Yes, the girl tried her best to ignore William's gaze and stared intently at the breakfast on the plate, as if it was delicious.

William looked at Chrissy's way of avoiding him dumbfounded, but he was not disappointed, because last night Chrissy didn't show any resistance, and he heard with his own ears that Chrissy admitted that he liked him. The joy of mutual affirmation made William's smile more gentle today, which was about the same level as making people hallucinate the holy light of the church.

Louis just felt that Brother William was so dazzling today that he couldn't look directly at him. Albert looked at William's expression and Chris's expression and guessed if something happened yesterday, but he didn't plan to do anything. Well, if Chris decides to choose William, he will only bless them and put up a good cover. After all, they are one body that shares weal and woe.

Ordinarily speaking of table manners, business and politics are not discussed at the table, but the Moriarty family obviously doesn’t care about those etiquettes. Everyone ate and chatted casually. Louis said proudly, “I heard a rumor the day before yesterday. The news, because it was too important, so I went to see it for myself. I didn't expect that there was a big problem with the Times. Now I have 60.00% of the shares, and I can completely dominate. What sister Chris wants to see is to control the media Sound, I'll be doing it soon, though there's another competitor, but when I get the Times fully under my belt, that won't be a problem."

"Louis is getting better and better." The girl praised, and Louis' face was blushing. If he could see the color of the background board, he might be able to see the floating flowers.

"Sister Chrissy is the most powerful. From the beginning to now, there are always so many amazing and novel ideas, so I can make the business bigger and bigger." Louis began to brag about business, "If you change someone, I guess you can't even do the first step of starting from scratch, so Louis, you have grown a lot, and I believe you will play a bigger role in the future." The girl also began to blow.Albert loosened the buttons on his military uniform, and watched the two blowing each other dumbfounded.

Milverton House

Milverton, who was holding a file bag, took out a stack of documents. This was the most detailed document he had collected on the three Moriarty brothers and Chris Coker through various means after being ordered.

He had already memorized the information about Albert as the earl before, but he read it again now, and mainly looked at the intersection between him and his fiancée Chrissy Coke, the daughter of the earl of coke, the commoner who raised sheep The lucky one is named an earl, and her daughter can marry another earl. It's really lucky, but it seems that she is not very stable.

There is a photo on the table. Yesterday, I just wanted to see how the relationship between the three brothers was. Unexpectedly, he encountered an unexpected scene. As the earl's fiancée, he had an affair with his younger brother. Well, this would probably be news like a bomb in the aristocratic circle, he just had to make good use of this news.

The Times?Or more easily, the most urgent thing is to study the relationship between them, whether Louis will pay what he wants for this photo, after all, the relationship between adopted children and parents is generally not so good.But if it was for the sake of the nobleman's face, if it wasn't for his status as the adopted son of the nobleman, Milverton would not believe that Louis could make such a large fortune at such a young age.

According to Chris Coke, she worked as a domestic servant in Moriarty Manor for two years. Moriarty Manor had just returned home to worship her mother on the day of the gas explosion fire, but she rushed back that night and rescued her in the sea of ​​fire. After adopting his adopted son Louis, he escaped with his eldest son and second son. Afterwards, the three Moriarty brothers temporarily stayed at Earl Rockwell's house. Chris returned to her own home and rarely left there for several years.

It is a small town, so there is not much information.

Then Albert became engaged to Chris Coke the next month after he inherited the title of Earl Moriarty, but it was only a year later that

Not married yet.

Milverton wondered, could it be that Albert knew about this, his fiancée and his younger brother got together, but in order to take care of their reputation, they didn't make a statement and therefore they didn't get married.

Speaking of which, William, the second son, has also changed very strangely. He was like other nobles when he was young. He did not go to primary school, but invited tutors to teach at home... so his friends are very few, and he is not like this now. The sudden level of intelligence, the relationship with the eldest son and adopted son is not very good, but after the fire, he showed extraordinary talents, especially in mathematics, and his grades were so good that he won the honor that less than 10 people can get. scholarship student].From mediocrity to genius, the relationship with the eldest son has also inexplicably improved. From the current investigation, the relationship with the adopted son seems to be good.All this happened after the fire, could it be... a different person?

It has to be said that a media person is good at changing people's words into nonsense. He also has a big brain and dares to think about anything. After he came up with this guess, he felt that the possibility was very high.

With such an excellent boy, it is not impossible for Chris to change her mind.After reading the information, Milverton picked up the photo, "It seems that I have to start my old business again." Although he said so, he didn't look unhappy, on the contrary, he was full of joy now.

When it comes to the old business, it is natural to discover the weaknesses of some women who are planning to get married, or have any correspondence with their ex-boyfriends, or have any intimate photos, which are used to threaten women and give them a lot of money, or give things to the women who are about to get married The man, even if the man doesn't care, making it public will be a scandal for both of them and their families.

Therefore, this means of extorting funds has always been invincible. Chris is also within the scope of his old business, and the evidence is conclusive. The photos just taken yesterday, even if Albert knows their situation and acquiesces , and will not ignore the family's reputation, not to mention that the first object he blackmailed was Chris.He didn't believe that a woman could not be manipulated by him when faced with the risk of being exposed by such a thing.

Chris saved Louis in the fire and then recuperated in the hospital for several months. This life-saving grace and the relationship between the brothers, this information allowed Milverton to determine the possibility of getting the reward he wanted Reach ninety percent.

Chris, who was cleaning at home today, took out the trash and came back to find a letter in the mailbox, and it was addressed to her. She took the letter into the house for some reason, washed her hands, and opened it to read.

"If you don't want me to expose the matter between you and William James Moriarty, come to Hampstead alone tomorrow afternoon, what time is the back door of XX. Someone will meet with you, if you don't If you come, I will put a certain photo in the newspaper." The girl's face was a little gloomy, this is the first time she has received a threat letter, or blackmail?This tone is really similar to the kind in the movie, the paparazzi took a special photo of the female star and then privately asked someone to spend money to buy the photo back, otherwise they would break the news.

The girl really didn't expect that although she contributed to a newspaper, she didn't usually see the photo taken directly. She almost forgot that cameras already existed in this era.Of course, the most important thing is, what is the photo that makes people so sure that it will affect her? The girl's first reaction was that she and William conspired to eliminate the nobles and was photographed in the middle of a suspicious scene, but she felt that if this was taken by someone I know, I'm afraid it's not a threat to send money, but it's one thing to dare to threaten.

Could it be that night, but, how could it be such a coincidence, and there was no one there before, so how could they still stay and watch them? Why bother, the three Moriarty brothers basically quit the social circle and tried their best to hide their movements will be noticed

It.

Although she didn't understand, the girl still planned to go, but she was fully armed before going, including the necessary chemical reagents and two daggers.Because it was daytime, the girl only left a note for William. If you haven't come back at night, please go to this place to find her.
