Villefort decided to die. (Search the fastest and best update website for Gege Party novels every day)|

He had hoped to end his life with poison, like his deceased relatives.It's a pity that all the poisons prepared by his wife Heloise were replaced by the Count of Monte Cristo's men, and he himself couldn't escape Albert's sight when he was blind, so he managed to get another bottle of poisons.

He also remembered that Albert had said that he would give himself a gun before the Count of Monte Cristo entered his study, but that would not work either, because it was too late.

Villefort groped carefully in Danglars' drawer, and finally touched a cold and sharp thing, which was a sharp letter opener.Next, he even found a pen and paper, but he hesitated when writing.

He wrote countless indictments in his life, but in the end he found that he was the one who committed the most heinous crimes.Villefort couldn't help thinking, if he hadn't framed the innocent sailor, would he still have fallen to this point?

After hastily writing down the last words, Villefort stabbed the letter opener into the abdomen viciously.The pain was more severe than he had imagined, but in order not to let his illegitimate son find out, he had to suppress the sound.

The blood loss gradually stripped him of consciousness, and he looked in the direction of his bastard son, seeing only a dark void in front of him.

In the last moments, Villefort could not remember how many innocent people he had persecuted, but he still remembered at least three women who were hurt by him in this world, and his children, whom he almost never cared about They, especially Albert.

He knows very well that his sins cannot be atoned for, but at least he can relieve Albert a little...

At this moment, Albert was staring at the door closely, and the joyous singing and laughter from the hall made him extremely anxious.The second hand on the pocket watch went round and round, but there was still no sound of footsteps coming this way.What about Danglars?Why didn't he bring the Count here?

And when Albert casually glanced at Villefort, he finally realized something was wrong.In the dim candlelight, Villefort's head was hanging limply on his shoulders, motionless, and his face was terribly pale.

Albert approached Villefort slowly, and as he smelled blood in the air, a terrible thought crept into his mind.He hurriedly opened Villefort's plum-colored coat, and finally found the tool his biological father used to end his life, the blood-stained letter opener.

No!No!It shouldn't be like this!

Albert backed away again and again, knocking over a vase in a panic.A voice deep inside told him that he himself wanted Villefort to die.Albert scratched his hair and shook his head desperately, as if trying to deny the fact.He didn't want Villefort dead, at least not now!

In the hall, only the hostess, Madame Danglars, noticed the change in the study. When she opened the door and entered, she found that Albert was standing there in a daze, and opposite him, the prosecutor was sitting in a strange posture. On the antique armchair that the owner of the room loves.

Madame Danglars could not help frowning at this strange picture.Why did her illegitimate son appear in her husband's study with his biological father?

She walked slowly towards them.When she finally saw the murder weapon, her pupils suddenly widened. She suddenly remembered that Villefort had said that this child would become a dagger, a gun, and cruelly revenge them. Could it be...

The remaining reason prevented Madame Danglars from screaming and running out, after all, he was her only child, "Albert, is it you...?"

The other party just shook his head blankly.

Albert's reaction Madame Danglars regained some courage.Just then she noticed a crumpled ball of promissory notes at her feet, and she picked it up.Seeing a line of crooked words on it, she read softly, "Forgive me..."

She suddenly realized that this was probably Villefort's last words. It turned out that Albert was not lying, he really committed suicide.But this remark obviously irritated Albert, who snatched the promissory note into his hands, and tore it to pieces. "No, I will never forgive him, never! He lied to me, he ruined all my plans..."

In Albert's almost incoherent complaints and curses, Madame Danglars grasped the most important information. Albert originally wanted to use Villefort to frame the Count of Monte Cristo.

Just as she was thinking, Albert grabbed her hand and asked, "Where is Danglars? Tell me where Danglars is?"

"When the Countess of Monte Cristo came in, I saw him sneaking back to the room." Madame Danglars pondered for a while. May have escaped.And when she uttered this conjecture, Albert realized that the real variable was the so-called Countess of Monte Cristo.

He dug out the gun that had been prepared a long time ago from the drawer, "Since the plan failed, I will kill them myself!"

"No, don't do something stupid!" Madame Danglars stood in front of Albert almost reflexively, "Maybe Villefort is not a good father, but I think he made such a choice because he didn't want you Going astray more and more. Whatever enmity you may have with the Count of Monte Cristo, you are ruining yourself by doing this!"

"Monte Cristo has ruined me long ago!" replied Albert angrily.

He couldn't forget the scene where the count rescued him in Rome. He once thought that the count was an angel, but he didn't expect that the angel's mission was revenge, and he was just a pawn on the count's way of revenge.Therefore, when all illusions were shattered, all he had left in his heart was hatred for the Earl.

He tried to push Madam Danglars away, "Madame, you abandoned me and left a void in my life of less than 20 years. What right do you have to interfere with my affairs now?"

Madame Danglars tightly held the gun in Albert's hand, and said with tears, "My child, I never thought of abandoning you. When Villefort told me that you were dead, he Buried you in the garden. From then on, I miss my baby day and night, and pray for you every time I go to church..."

"Stop talking..." Albert felt a little moved in his heart, but this couldn't stop his determination.However, when the two were pulling, the gun suddenly went off, and the injured Mrs. Danglars fell to the ground.

"No, I didn't intend to shoot you..." Albert said in a panic.

"Go, escape from the window!" Madame Danglars ordered with pain.

When the crowd in the hall heard the gunshots, they suddenly became chaotic, and people rushed to the door.

If it was in normal times, with the character of the Count of Monte Cristo, he would definitely investigate the source of the gunshots. After all, it was in his enemy's house.But it's different now, because he has someone to protect.

The earl put one arm around Mei Tess, and with the other he pushed aside the crowd, preventing them from bumping into her.

The candle flickered.

In the crowd, a thin and inconspicuous figure gradually approached the Earl and Mei Tess.

She sneaked in disguised as a maid, and no one knew that her real identity was the last dark star, Mercury, the most powerful assassin under the Duke of Buckingham.She shot swiftly, and those who were chosen by her as prey often couldn't find out who did it after being stabbed, and could only watch their own blood flow to death.

However, her movements couldn't escape the earl's eyes that could pierce the darkness. When she pulled out the dagger hidden in her sleeve and stabbed at her, the earl pushed Mai Se Tess away, but a long cut was drawn on her arm. mouth.

The Earl did not carry a weapon, and Mei Tess also did not expect that there would be a killer at the ball, but as a qualified former member of the Dark Star, everything at hand could be used as a weapon.

She immediately pulled out the brooch and wrestled with Mercury.Perhaps because the opponent was too tough, Mercury quickly jumped back with his hands on the ground, and then dexterously jumped onto a table like a poisonous spider.

Judging from the way of the assassination just now, Mei Tess had already guessed her identity, but it was not until the moment she looked back that Mei Tess saw her face clearly for the first time.

No, that's not her face.Mars said that she was the most beautiful among them, but although the girl opposite had an exquisite outline, she used makeup to cover up her original beauty.

The only thing that can't be changed are her violet eyes, which are now shining with a fierce light.Mei Tess suddenly realized that Mercury was not looking at her at all, her real target was the Earl.

Before Mei Tess had time to stop, Mercury held the dagger in his mouth, then jumped up suddenly, grabbed the tall round chandelier on the ceiling with both hands, and swung towards the earl.The candle on the lampstand was half extinguished in an instant.

However, when she jumped in front of the wounded earl and was about to stab the dagger in her hand, a priest-like figure suddenly rushed out and stood in front of the earl.It was Busoni, and May Tess did not even know when he had come to the ball.

The dagger stabbed into his side, but fortunately he held the blade with his hand in time, so it didn't go deeper.

Dark red blood dripped slowly from between his fingers.Buschani raised his head, stared at the girl in front of him, and asked in surprise, "Moira?"

"How do you know my mother's name?" Mercury frowned tightly, and there was a moment of hesitation in his eyes.However, when the earl grabbed the candlestick and attacked, she slammed the injured Bussani away, and then quickly retreated to the side of a cabinet.Plum Tess clearly saw her take another weapon from the vase.

When Mercury aimed his gun at the Count, she rushed at her without hesitation.A second before the shot was fired, Mercury turned the gun and pointed it at May Tess.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gunshots sounded almost simultaneously, completely overshadowing the earl's shout.

The author has something to say: Thank you Yuju Niang for the landmine, it cost me a lot, okay~

Thank you Yunkong, Lian Sanjiu, Yujuniang, Xiaoweijiang, Asarum Erliang, domestic cat, Taylor Niss, and Qin Lie's nutrient solution, okay~

Sorry, I was busy changing jobs some time ago, so I didn't have time to update.I still remember that I posted a picture of "Daisy of Monte Cristo" on Halloween last year. It has been a year, thank you for your continued support~

Chapter150

Haidee's hand holding the gun trembled.

All this while, Plum Tess had never really given her the chance to use the weapon in order to protect her.

However, she will never forget the words that her father, Governor Ali, put her face in his blood-stained hands after executing the Greek bandit Kasantonis, and said, "One day, you will do the same for the one you love. thing."

At this moment, when the person who was so important to her was about to be hurt, Haiidee pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The two shots sounded almost simultaneously.

Perhaps it was God's blessing that the person who fell was not Maisette, but Mercury.The injured assassin struggled to get up, clutching his wound and jumped down from the window.Haidee still wanted to shoot, but found that she was out of ammunition.

"Haidee, stop chasing..."

Plum Tess looked at Haiide with pity. She didn't expect that she had been taking care of the little princess under her wings, and her hands were stained with blood after all.But if it had not been for Haidee, it would have been her who fell.

While Mei Tess was thinking, the Earl walked up to her.She thought he had something to say, but he just hugged her silently.

"I'm not going to slip away," said Mei Tess, half-jokingly.

However, the earl hugged her tighter and tighter, so tight that it was difficult for her to breathe.But Mei Tess did not try to push him away, she clearly felt his heartbeat.Yes, at this moment she is absolutely sure that he cares about her, he loves her!

Her eyes couldn't help being a little moist. In the moment of life and death just now, they almost lost each other.

In fact, Mercury did fire a shot, though he was hit first.It's just that the deadly silver light didn't hit her, but brushed her temples and hit the hanging picture behind her.

It has to be said that this is a miracle, just like the time when she fell off a cliff in Greece without injury.But Plum Tess had a faint feeling that this was the last time she would be blessed by this mysterious power.

Anyway, the crisis is finally over.

It wasn't until they helped Buschani into the carriage that the sheriff's men arrived late.

In fact, they were deceived by Danglars to report to the nearby police by false alarms, but because they heard the gunshots, they did not appear at the door of Danglars' house until it was confirmed that there was no danger.

The sheriff obviously knew the Count of Monte Cristo, "Your Excellency, are you all right?"

"My friend Father Busoni was injured," the Count of Monte Cristo pondered for a while, "but the assassin has escaped."

"It is a dreadful thing that has happened today," said the Inspector courteously. "My men have just come to report that M. de Villefort is dead in the study, and that Madame Danglars has been wounded. But don't worry. , we will definitely catch the murderer as soon as possible.”

The count frowned, so many things happened in the room where the gunfire sounded.Villefort's death may be a relief to him, but it does not mean atonement.However, the assassin Mercury has been lying in ambush in the hall and has no chance to strike. There should be something else hidden about this matter.

The count glanced at the injured Busoni, obviously he didn't have time to find out more information at this time.So he and Mei Tess exchanged a look, ready to send the sheriff away.

"Your Excellency, at your convenience, can you tell us the details of today's assassination so as to assist us in our investigation?" the sheriff asked.

"Mr. Sheriff, as you can see, my husband and his friend have been injured, and I'm afraid I won't be able to come here for a while," Mei Tess said first, "I'm sorry, I can't help you busy."

The sheriff leaves.However, what he said just now made Busani start to worry.The assassin was so much like his former lover Jupiter, it was unmistakable that she was their daughter.

Busani struggled to speak, but he couldn't utter a word because of the pain.

Plum Tess knew what he was worried about. "Rest assured, life or death, we'll try to find Mercury," she promised.

Busani's blue eyes flickered, and after a few seconds, he finally nodded with difficulty.

The count directed the carriage to the nearest hospital.

"How do you know there is danger here?" Mei Tess turned to Haidee.

"Mars informed us," the little princess explained, "that falcon named Demos flew to the garden of Villa Auteuil, and she tied a letter at its feet."

"Mars... is she okay?" Mei Tess asked worriedly.

Haiidee lowered her head, silently handed out the parchment, and said in a tone almost sighing, "You will know it after reading the letter."

Mei Tess unfolded the letter paper, and Mars' handwriting was much smoother than before.She meditated silently.

"Plum Tess, if you read this letter, it means that I am no longer alive, otherwise I will go to you in person.

In fact, I had expected such a result.This is the fate of the dark star, Saturn cannot escape, Jupiter cannot escape, and neither can I.

But you are different, you are Venus.The Duke once said that the star Venus appears in the night sky twice a day, once at dawn and once at dusk.It is destined to bring light, and you, destined to end the dazzling sun.

I actually saw this early on, even when we were still on opposite sides.That is why I have chosen to entrust you with the fangs of Bofors.

Yes, it is actually a key.I secretly collected a lot of evidence against the Duke of Buckingham and hid it in a secret location. Only this animal tooth can open the mechanism, and the secret address is on the map on the back of this letter.This is the only thing I can help you with.

I also need to entrust you with my falcon Deimos.It's ferocious and can take care of itself.But it has been with me for many years, maybe it will feel lonely when I am not around, so I hope you will be its new owner.

In addition, I also learned that the Duke had a secret meeting with a Parisian nobleman, planning to murder your fiancé at a ball, so be careful.

Your friend, Mars. "

Plum Tess clutched the letter paper tightly, with a complex emotion surging in her heart.

She looked at the dim sky. Saturn, Jupiter, and Mars had fallen one after another, but the source of all these tragedies had not been punished.

She wants to find the evidence buried by Mars, and then have a final showdown with the Duke of Buckingham!

The author has something to say: Thank you Taylor Niss and Qin Lie for the nutrient solution, okay~

In this chapter, the identity of Plum Tess' evening star corresponds to that of Haidee's dawn star.

The next chapter is the follow-up of the Eugenie line~

☆, the gunfire of the hotel

Chapter151

The embers of the setting sun fade away.

In the dim twilight, a stagecoach stopped in front of the bell bottle hotel on the outskirts of Paris.Eugenie, dressed as a man, got out of the car first. She lifted two boxes from the car and helped Rosie out of the car.

They should have arrived long ago, but their stage-coach was stopped by Vampa on the way.Eugenie tells Rosie to wait in the car, while she and Vampa go into the woods to resolve their entanglement.

As Eugenie expected, Vampa expressed his heart to her again, but she was unmoved.She always remembered that her father, who was a businessman when she was a child, often said that if a person lied to you once, he could lie to you countless times.And Vampa had lied to her.Although he admitted it afterwards, the damage had already been done, so what reason would she have to trust him?

But no matter how Eugenie refused, Vampa did not give up. He said that a proud Roman would not give up easily.

Finally Eugenie had to slap him and told him that was her answer.

"Eugénie..."

"Don't call me Eugenie, only friends can call me that. I am Mademoiselle Danglars, the daughter of the person you are planning to frame!" Eugenie said the most hurtful words, all she wanted was to make her Wampa gave up, "Let's go! If you leave now, I may still have some good memories of you in my heart. But if you continue to pester, even this little friendship will be gone."

Her words finally paid off.Vampa looked as if he had been punched hard, "I'm sorry for hurting you. If this is what you want, I'm leaving now..."

Eugenie looked at Vampa's eyes getting darker and darker, and a sense of revenge rose in her heart.However, when Vampa turned around lonely, she felt a dull pain in her heart.

"But where are you and Rosie going?" asked Vampa at last.

"Go where you are not!" Eugenie heard herself blurt out.

This time Wampa really left and never looked back.

After everything was over, Eugenie returned to the car in a daze, and she didn't realize that dusk had come until the post-coach stopped in front of the hotel.

When booking a room with Rosie at the front desk, Eugenie was surprised to find that her father had also come.Of course she knew that he wasn't looking for her, and she could guess that he was going out in a hurry in a banquet dress, and he couldn't be on business.

As Eugenie expected, Danglars escaped.

After meeting Mei Tess, he realized that Albert's plan was doomed to fail, and it was the wisest choice to stay away from right and wrong.He knew very well that his assets were just a bubble that would burst at a poke, and that staying in Paris would be of no avail, so he went back to his room, packed up the cash and checks, and slipped out the back door.

After booking the rooms respectively, the father and daughter talked for more than an hour in Eugenie's small living room.This time Danglars was quite frank, and told the whole story in detail.Eugenie suddenly realized that Vampa's revenge was nothing compared to what her father did back then.

But Danglars was still troubled by the fact that it happened so suddenly that he had no time to take away more property, "I'm done! Now I only have 50 francs in cash from the cabinet, and a pile of money I don't know. Can the check be cashed? My God, I never thought Baron Danglars would become a pauper one day!"

"Father, 50 francs is already a lot of money," Eugenie comforted, "Even if you run it out, I will still be there."

"What do you mean?"

"Although you kicked me out, you are my father, and I will still take care of you." Eugenie shrugged, "Rosie and I are going to the theater to find a job. I can make money."

Danglars had a disdainful expression on his face, but his heart was still filled with emotion.

For the first time he took a serious look at his daughter.In normal times, he would definitely say that she has disgraced him by dressing like this.But what I have to say is that Eugenie is very beautiful whether she wears a lady's dress or the current men's clothing, and she is worthy of being his daughter of Danglars.

Although he did not believe that Eugenie had the ability to take care of him, but in this situation that can be described as abject for him, he suddenly realized that he had spent his whole life chasing wealth by any means, but driving the real treasure out of the house. out of the house.

"You have escaped, what will mother do?" Eugenie asked.

"We don't need to worry about this. Your mother is very good at taking care of her own property, and she was prepared for the threat of bankruptcy, even earlier than me," said Danglars in a sarcastic tone.

Eugenie stopped asking, because she knew very well that Madame Danglars was indeed that kind of person.

After Danglars returned to the room, Rosie began to ask about Vampa. After hearing the result, she said regretfully, "Eugénie, although I am very happy that you finally chose to travel with me in a foreign country, but I always feel that Mr. Vampa should be sincere to you. How many men can snatch her away at the wedding for the sake of his beloved? I have only seen such stories in fairy tales..."

"Rosie," Eugenie squeezed her companion's hand, "Last night you told me to forget about him."

"Maybe it's because he made a special trip to wait for you at Passimon today, which made me change some of my views on him." Rosie pondered for a while, "Eugenie, no matter what, I hope you will be happy."

Eugenie just nodded bitterly.

She recalled that at the wedding that day, Wampa rode into the auditorium on a steed and snatched her away in front of many guests.She recalled that Vampa had taken her to that beautiful garden in Normandy, and sang to her Italian love songs.They lived happily in those few days. It can be said that it was the first time that she was as free and happy as she dreamed of, until...

Eugenie suddenly regretted it.They both had feelings for each other, and Vampa had always been a proud person, and she shouldn't hurt his self-esteem like that.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.

"Go and open the door, Monsieur Danglars is resting," Rosie said with a smile, "Maybe Vampa has come to find him."

Is it really Wampa?Eugenie went to the door anxiously, but when she opened it, it was not Vampa, but Albert.

She hurried to close the door, but it was too late.Albert firmly pressed against the door, with a hideous smile on the corner of his mouth, "Eugénie, do you hate me that much?"

Eugenie was forced into the room step by step by Albert.

"My dear fiancee, if the waiter had not known M. Danglars, saying that he had met his daughter here, I would not have known you were here," continued Albert.

"Albert, my father has already told me that you are my mother's biological son, and we are brother and sister!" Eugenie immediately countered.

"My dear, Madame Danglars is not your biological mother, we are not related by blood," Albert's eyes flashed with a hint of madness, "You escaped at our wedding, and your father lied to me again, Time for me to get some compensation from you!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Eugenie, in your eyes, am I even inferior to that robber?" Albert grabbed Eugenie's collar viciously.Now that he has been unable to return to the Parisian social circle, he has lost the disguise of the upper class, and his true nature is undoubtedly revealed. "Don't forget that I swore an oath in the church, and of course it's time to fulfill my husband and wife obligations with you!"

"You pervert! Crazy!" Eugenie cursed while struggling.

"You dirty slut who hangs out with robbers!" said Albert, gnashing his teeth.

In a panic, Rosie took out the gun they brought from the box, "Let her go, Albert, or I'll shoot!"

Albert did not back down as Rosie expected, but walked towards her step by step, "Miss Amille, I think you must not know how to use it."

"No, don't come here!"

Rosie's hands were trembling uncontrollably. She really didn't know how to use a gun. Even if she knew how to use it, she didn't have the courage to shoot at a person, even if this person was her enemy.When Rosie realized that she could no longer back down, Albert made a sudden move and wrested the gun from her hand.

"Let me show you how to use it," said Albert grimly.

"Stay away from Rosie, you bastard!"

Eugenie hugged Albert from behind and tried to grab the gun, but failed.Then the two wrestled together and fell on the bed.

Danglars noticed the movement in the next room, and hurried out of his room, but stopped when he came to the door of Eugenie, because he heard that the person inside was Albert, and he must have come to settle accounts with himself .

Struggling and shouting continued to come from the room, but Danglars was always timid and did not dare to take a step.

"Bang!" The gunshot rang out along with Rosie's scream. "Eugénie!"

At this moment Danglars suddenly felt his heart skip a beat, and the places in his mind that were occupied by addition, subtraction, multiplication and division suddenly became empty.The man who had finally regained the father-daughter relationship in a normal family rushed into the room. He saw Albert standing up and Eugenie lying on the bed covered in blood, and immediately froze there.

No, his daughter!His treasure!He lost what was really important to him in this world!

It wasn't until Albert fell to the ground softly, and Eugenie struggled to get up to call him, that he gradually regained his senses. It turned out that the person who was shot was Albert.

"Father, what should we do?" Eugenie's face was pale, and there was fear in her voice.

what to do?Danglars looked at his terrified daughter, and then at Albert, who was lying on the ground.At this moment, Albert was still alive, and threatened with his last strength, "Danglars, save me, or..."

Danglars gritted his teeth. He knew very well that the forces behind Albert were beyond his power. Instead of running away in fear, he would rather... He pointed at Eugenie and the frightened Rosie. "You two, get out of here before the sheriff comes!"

"how about you?"

"If they don't catch a murderer, they will definitely pursue it to the ends of the earth. Although you have escaped from the robbers at the wedding, the daughter of the Danglars must not be a fugitive!"

"You want to take the blame for me..."

"Eugenie, I have evidence of Albert's murder of the Count of Monte Cristo in my hand. I will present it at the trial, and the prosecutor will deal with it lightly." Danglars grabbed his daughter's hand, "It is you , let’s go, or it will be too late! Take my wallet and keep it safe for me!”

Chapter152

The Count of Monte Cristo and Mei Tess are determined to find the secret that Mars guarded with their lives. After settling in Busoni, they set off from Villa Auteuil.

All the affairs of the villa were left to Haiidee to take care of, and under Mei Tess' careful teaching, it was not difficult for her.She also made a special trip to the clinic to ask Dr. Avrini to take care of the injured Busani, but it was another injured patient who gave her a headache, but the place he hurt was the heart.

After Vampa returned, he fell into a slump. He had no way of knowing what happened at the Bell Bottle Hotel. He only believed that Eugenie did not forgive him after all, and chose to leave France with his female companion Rosie.Haidee has nothing to do but comfort, she just hopes that her "General Roger" can cheer up as soon as possible.

Besides, she was always worried about Maisette and the Count of Monte Cristo, and regretted not following the advice to go with them.

During this period, the Duke of Buckingham also left Paris, and the Parisian social circle, where several sensational events happened one after another, suddenly calmed down, as if the ripples caused by butterflies had disappeared, but Haidee always felt that there would be bigger waves coming back.

It turns out her hunch was correct.On the third morning, the butler Bertuccio arrived in a hurry in a carriage.Valentine got out of the car, and she brought the terrible news that King Louis Philippe was going to secretly arrest the Count of Monte Cristo.

"Sister Valentine, is this news reliable?" asked Haidee.

"The person who revealed the news was General Dominique, Maximilian's former chief. He was an old acquaintance with Maisé Tess. He recognized her at the ball at the Danglars' house and planned to help her and the Count of Monte Cristo." Valent Tina explained, "The general secretly visited the earl's house on the Champs-Elysées. He didn't want the earl to be away, but unexpectedly met Maximilian..."

"But the Earl didn't have any contact with the court of Versailles after he came to Paris. Why does the King of France have any reason to do so?"

"I don't know," Valentine pondered for a moment, "but because I'm the prosecutor's daughter, I've seen some similar things. Paris is always on guard against such unusual foreign visitors, and the Count is very pleased." If they have money, perhaps it is for this reason that they will fabricate a reason to arrest the Earl in order to embezzle his property."

"So, several houses under the earl's name are not safe..."

"That's right." Valentine's tone was full of worry, "Maximilian has asked the count's servants in the house on the Champs-Elysées to leave first, and you should evacuate as soon as possible."

"I won't leave Paris until the count and Mei Tess come back," Haidee shook her head.

"Haidee, why don't you take refuge in my grandfather's old house on High Hailong Road for a while. No one has lived in that place for a long time. There has always been only a porter guarding it. No one will know where you are hiding." Valentine Na suggested.

Haidee knew that the earl and Mei Tess were not there, so she had to make a decision.Should she ask Beauchamp?He knows everything.

But Haiidee quickly rejected this idea, she shouldn't bring trouble to Mr. Reporter.Valentine's place is indeed very good, but she can't take all the people there.

So she summoned all the servants, and only said that the count was in trouble and was going to sell the Villa Auteuil, so she was going to disband the servant team.

Most of the servants left with triple commissions.Except for the butler Bertuccio, the only ones who were unwilling to leave were Baptistin, the foreman of the servants, and a few maids who had followed them since they arrived in France.

"Miss Haidee, the Count of Monte Cristo is not here now, I will go wherever you are," Baptistin insisted.

"Yes, we promised Madam Maisette that before she returns, we will always be by your side to ensure your safety," said the leading maid, Meadow.

Haiidee nodded in agreement, the more she needs a loyal servant at this time.She ordered them to pack their bags briefly, and then called for Vampa, asking him to find the count and the others as soon as possible, so that they could be prepared.

"Let's set off as soon as possible," urged Valentine.

Haidee nodded, she came to the door of Busoni's room, and knocked on the door.

In fact, Busoni had already noticed this change and heard everything from the housekeeper Bertuccio.He walked out of the room with the help of Dr. Avrini, "I'm sure this is my brother's conspiracy. I know him. He has always been in touch with the French court, and he failed to assassinate the count at the ball. He will definitely stay." There are deadlier tricks. I won't let him succeed
