Chapter 119: Family members with different agendas
After listening to Su Fan’s words, Ron’s heart towards the old woman Carlotta had changed from slight disgust to hostility.
There is no need for Xipu to lie to Su Fan, and there is no need for Su Fan to lie to her.
Then it was Carlotta who had imprisoned her biological mother in this mansion all this time and claimed to be taking care of her.
"Perhaps what she did, judging from the results, was indeed to prevent the family from getting involved with Lashe, but the motive was far less noble."
Su Fan held Ron's arm. With his hand, he walked into the garden behind the mansion.
The Mayfair family's mansion is very large, and even if many family members gather here, it does not feel crowded at all.
"She just didn't get what she asked for and was so jealous that she went crazy. If she was really attracted by Lashe...haha"
Su Fan did not continue.
Just now he felt his surroundings, but found no sign of Rashe's activity.
Were you worried about being chased at your door and deliberately hid?
While Su Fan was thinking, a greeting came from the two sides.
A mother and daughter walked in their direction.
The mother is holding a wine bottle in her hand, while the daughter is holding a wine glass.
The two of them came forward to chat enthusiastically and introduced themselves.
"I quite like Los Angeles. My husband and I have been there before. If we had known that you were still alive, we would have been able to see you earlier."
Speaking of which, the other side The woman looked around.
"You should know why...she acted as if you had long since ceased to exist."
"I know."
The three of them came from the family The situation inside has been talking about the recent cases of burning and killing.
Tessa, the daughter among mothers.
She told Ron that these were the crimes of witch hunters, who looked for women who were addicted to witchcraft and would be burned at the stake.
"Now our family finally has a successor like you... Maybe you can use your power to help them like us."
Tessa's eyes were full of envy. And expectations.
Ron didn't know how to reply for a while.
"If you really want to help them, you should collect evidence and go to the police."
Tessa and her daughter looked at Su Fan unexpectedly.
The leaders of the Mayfair family have been women for generations, and the status of men is not as good as that of other families. In addition, Su Fan didn't speak from the beginning.
The two of them thought that this man was just a "prey" that Ron found on a whim, and they didn't take Su Fan seriously.
But I didn’t expect that he would answer for Ron.
Seeing the two people looking at Su Fan strangely, Ron immediately hugged Su Fan's arms into his arms.
Su Fan looked as usual.
More powerful than Annie.
Can’t you tell... thin branches bear fruit.
In this way, Tessa and her daughter finally understood the status of this Asian young man in Ron's heart.
"I'm sorry, what Tessa said, don't take it to heart Ron... let's go."
Tessa's mother saw something was wrong in the atmosphere, and immediately took Tessa with her Sha get out of here.
As for Su Fan and Ron, they continued to walk inside the mansion.
On the way, Ron and Su Fan met Cortland again, who they had met at the funeral.
The latter looked at Ron's appearance and sighed that her long hair and eyes were exactly the same as her mother Dill.
From Cortland's words and deeds, Ron could feel that the man in front of him had a close relationship with his mother.
Gradually, she couldn't help but talk to him more.
"You are now the actual person in charge of this family, as for the house and property."
"You can come to me at any time. Coincidentally, I am responsible for the trust service of this family's inheritance."
"What your mother left behind should be inherited by you..."
Before Cortland could finish speaking, Carlotta intervened. A heated argument broke out between the siblings, arguing and chattering over the dead Dil.
When they stopped, they realized that Ron, who had been on the side, had left the scene at some point.
……
“We just ran away, is that okay?”
Ron originally wanted to wait and see what happened, but when he saw Su Fan walking directly towards the door, he hurried to catch up.
“Are you very good at dealing with situations like that?”
Su Fan asked calmly without looking back.
"...I want to know more about this family."
"There is no need to rush to find out today."
Su Fan said this, After a pause, he showed a smile of unknown meaning.
"What do you think of the people in this family?"
"...I can't see anything for the time being. Everyone maintains basic etiquette and social distance, except Carlotta."< br>
Su Fan's tone seemed to be just casual chat, so Ron didn't think about it carefully and answered the question based on intuition.
Hearing this answer, Ron saw Su Fan turning his head with a subtle expression.
"With your emotional intelligence, it's better not to work in a place like a hospital, where good and bad people are mixed."
"..."
Ron looked embarrassed, and did not defend himself, but made a Looks like he's all ears.
“No one in the world can avoid the word ‘profit’ in their actions.”
“You should also be able to see that the content of their conversations cannot avoid being related to you. "The Contracted Lasher."
When Ron heard this, he wanted to refute, but reason told her that Su Fan was telling the truth.
A doctor of medicine from Stanford University is indeed rare, but in front of such a wealthy family with a long history, it is not worth mentioning.
Being able to control the demon Rashe and possessing special powers is the fundamental reason why she is warmly greeted by others.
“The Cortlandt and Tessa mother and daughter hope that you can accept Rashe’s power and become the new witch.”
“Tessa is simply envious of you. With extraordinary power, I hope you can fulfill some ideal on her behalf.”
Although this ideal is very stupid...
"But Cortland is a bit intriguing... You should pay more attention to him."
Su Fan suddenly stopped and did not continue.
According to the confession of the witch hunter he solved before.
I am afraid that it was this Cortland who exposed the whereabouts of Ron's mother and asked another group of people to kill her.
But this news cannot be told to Ron at the moment.
This guy is single-minded and doesn’t look like someone who can hide things.
Su Fan wanted to use her to fish, but he had to at least let her get familiar with the family first.
It would be bad if we just break up with each other and frighten Lashe into leaving this family.
"It's all for the extraordinary power..."
Ron's eyes flashed with disappointment.
Even though she was mentally prepared, she still had illusions about the Mayfair family.
But now it seems that this is just wishful thinking.
“What are you missing?”
Su Fan smiled.
“Sometimes the connection generated by interests is more reliable than feelings.”
“This will facilitate your actions in the Mayfair family.”
“Since they want If I want to get something from you, the initiative is in your hands.”
