It is not difficult to subdue a soldier who disobeys you, as long as you can prove that you are far superior to him.
Adjutant Xun sighed with relief, admiring and envious, and said
“Danna Keller seems to be shooting at a higher level than she did back then, truly a genius.”
The corners of Farren Austin’s lips twitched upward slightly, a rare glimmer of satisfaction these days.
Nightfall.
Amelia Bright was already asleep when Farren Austin got home.
He put his things on the bed, pulled the covers over her, didn’t stay too long, went to the study to get his things and left.
It was only when Amelia Bright woke up the next morning and saw the familiar two jewelry boxes on her bed that she knew he had returned.
The night before, she had received a phone call from Bohdi Olson, knowing that both mother and daughter Noah Zhao had been imprisoned, and Bohdi Olson had reminded her not to answer Bright’s father’s phone calls for two days.
For one thing, Bright father is not good to Amelia Bright, and for another, she is not Amelia Bright, so this matter, she did not bother to care, the Bright family this family purely deserved to deserve.
“What would you like to eat for lunch today?”
Bick asked her as he set the soup on the table and served it.
“I’m going back to the house for lunch, not at home.”
“Back to the old house?” Bick faintly froze, “Over at the old house, I heard that madam is not …”
“She should be in the hospital with her bed, I’m just going to see grandpa.”
“Good, then I’ll go with you after breakfast.”
“Well, bring that new tea set in the cupboard with you.”
Master Austin didn’t have any other hobbies now, he just seemed to be extra partial to tea sets and had collected a lot of them, and that purple sand tea set was one she had found earlier in the antique market and was worth a lot of money.
She is still a little curious about Calla Moon’s identity, not to find out always uneasy, so I want to go to visit the opportunity to ask a question, can ask out the best, if not, as a visit to the old man.
Outside the window, the cold wind of late winter whistled by.
The Austin family old mansion walls of the flowering vines have long withered, yellow vines woven into a large net, the entire old mansion walls wrapped in airtight.
The old man ate early for breakfast, and after eating, he went out for a walk as usual, usually until noon, but soon after he went out in the morning, he found that his old friend was not at home, and ate a closed door, and then had to go home.
“I’ll just go around the yard, you don’t have to accompany me, go about your business.”
After sending the housekeeper Zhou away, the old man was walking around his own yard with his crutches, just sitting in the pavilion for a while, when he suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from the backyard.
“I told you not to come here to find me? Are you crazy? You want to kill me?”
“I’ve been a little short of cash lately, so if I didn’t have to, I wouldn’t have come looking for you.”
“Didn’t I just give you half a million dollars the day before yesterday?”
“What is half a million enough for? Not enough to pay my debts! Didn’t I tell you? I owe a lot of money, and if I don’t pay it back, people are going to cut off my hand.”
“You deserve it!”
“Xiao Mei, a night couple is still a hundred nights of grace, you can’t be so desperate.”
Erlina Lee took a step back and dodged his hand, warning.
“Zhou Hai, don’t get ahead of yourself!”
“Hey, if you give me ten million dollars, I’ll disappear immediately and never appear in front of you again with our secret.”
“Ten million? Where can I find 10 million for you?”
“Isn’t your husband rich? And your son and daughter-in-law, the Austin family so big family business, I can be inquired about all come.”
The two are talking, a sudden noise behind the two, Erlina Lee face a white, busy to push the man outside the back door.
“You go first, I’ll think of something about the money.”
“…”
After confirming that the man was gone, Erlina Lee cautiously walked out from the backyard, but only saw the flower pots fallen on the ground in the corner, but did not see half a person.
In the front yard, Lao Zhou wiped the car at the door and was about to go out to buy groceries, when he saw Erlina Lee he nodded his head respectfully
“Good morning, madam.”
Erlina Lee’s face was a little unnatural.
“Old Zhou, why are you so early today, is the old man already back?”
“Master Qiao is not at home, sir came back early in the morning and said he was in the yard for a while.”
Hearing this, Erlina Lee’s heart sank and she looked nervously into the house.
“Duk Duk Duk.”
At the door of the study, Erlina Lee knocked on the door a few times.
“Come in.”
Opening the door, Erlina Lee said apprehensively.
“Dad, it’s me.”
“What is it?”
The old man looked up from behind his bookcase, his face as majestic and indifferent as ever.
“I heard from housekeeper Zhou that Mr. Qiao is not at home and you came straight back.”
“Well, Qiao old’s granddaughter signed him up for a tour of Europe, he left last night, he did tell me, old age, I only remembered when I got to his door in the morning.”
“So, if you like it, I will also sign up a tour for you.”
“No, I’m too old, go far away you are not at ease, or to the family less trouble good, why you did not go to the hospital today to accompany Halyn?”
“Oh … me, I’m getting ready to go.”
Erlina Lee face unnatural, about to go, suddenly saw the petals of camellia on the carpet, mixed with fresh soil, apparently just stepped back soon.
The Austin family planted the camellia place, except for that just a corner, there is no other place.
She immediately changed her face.
“Dad, have you been to the backyard since you came back?”
“Well, I did.”
The old man was still looking at her expressionlessly, his muddy eyes were extraordinarily sharp.
Erlina Lee more and more weak heart.
“You … you heard everything?”
“Should I hear anything?”
A rhetorical question, so Erlina Lee at once clenched his fingers, face pale, cold sweat quickly down.
“Dad, listen to my explanation, this matter is not what you think …”
If it was really nothing, Erlina Lee would not be so nervous.
Austin senior’s face was cold.
“No need, I am going to go to the hospital, Steven should be in the hospital to see Halyn at this moment, your matter, you’d better explain to Steven, I said it more than twenty years ago, I will not care.”
Saying that, the old man had already stood up and walked towards the study door.
Erlina Lee’s face was already half bloodless, frozen in place for a few seconds, after realizing that this matter must not be known to her husband, she immediately turned around and chased after him.
“Dad, let me explain.”
She dragged the old man regardless of Chambers.
The old man frowned, displeased, and said
“Let go, pulling and tugging, what is it like?”
In a moment of desperation, Erlina Lee even tugged the old man’s hand and knelt down directly, “Listen to me …”
“Nonsense! You did such a scandalous thing, and you dare to stop me …”
The old man endured half a day of anger finally exploded, a moment to shake off Erlina Lee, but in this moment, suddenly stumbled on his feet, in front of Erlina Lee, the whole person leaned back and fell down towards the stairs, rolled to the first floor after opening his mouth but could not say anything.
At this time in the living room, a maid is not, Erlina Lee looked at the old man who rolled all the way to the floor, his mind was blank.
