Chapter 426 Someone has to pay the price for the status quo
Hei Cha was not panicked at all, and was even in the mood to watch the show, not only because Armand's fatal problem was not directed at her.
Moreover, because it is known that Xiaoduo is Zhong Ning and Haier is Minister Gao, the possibility of Mellis being Dr. Bai is only 50%, not to mention that another doctor named Arnold's doctor.
Based on his words and demeanor, Black Tea is more inclined to judge that Earl Mellis is the unidentified man from the Dawn Association.
Watching your enemies suffer is a great thing.
When the atmosphere at the dinner was condensed, Tok, who looked frustrated, also encountered some situations.
He saw the driver of the fourth carriage sneaking around in the front yard in the evening.
“What are you doing?” Tok stepped forward with a confused look on his face.
The coachman was startled by Tok. He was obviously trying to stay calm, and his voice was trembling uncontrollably, but what he said was justified.
“I’m looking for something.”
"Looking for something? Just searching in the dark like this? Can't you come back tomorrow at dawn?" Tok looked confused.
The coachman immediately argued, "It is a very important thing. If I really wait until the next day to look for it, your Lordships will not forgive me."
"So what is it?" Tok asked again, but the coachman hesitated and couldn't explain.
Tok's face was sincere, "If you tell me, I can help you find it."
"No need!" The coachman drove Tok away with both hands, "I will find it myself. ”
Tok was embarrassed and finally left.
After confirming that Tok had gone far, the coachman raised his hateful eyes and looked at the grand and magnificent castle. It was brightly lit inside, and it was unknown what kind of intoxicating feast was being staged.
Some people are intoxicated, addicted to money and power.
There are people who are hungry and struggling with survival and pain.
The coachman opened his emotionless eyes and smiled at the castle, the same emotionless smile.
"Someone has to pay the price for this situation."
"What I did was not to vent my hatred or indulge in lust, it was revenge, a legitimate revenge."
Inside the castle , Mellis responded to Armand's inquiry without any danger, why he didn't visit at the appointed time.
"Armand, I'm sick, please be considerate of me."
Armand did not respond.
"It's not just a headache. It's hard for me to grasp many details now."
Armand smiled.
"Of course I know that the time we agreed on is tomorrow, but I just remembered it and it is difficult to distinguish between today and tomorrow. This is my current situation."
Armand Shen His long knuckles slowly brushed the edge of the delicate porcelain bowl.
"I know, I will understand you."
When the conversation changed, Armand looked at Black Tea, "Eve, you didn't prepare well enough for this dinner."
Afu was startled and looked up suddenly, only to see Armand pressing the edge of the bowl hard. Son, his knuckles turned white as a result. The next second he wiped it hard, and there was a tiny invisible protrusion on the porcelain bowl, which actually scratched his skin!
But strangely, no blood spilled out.
Armand carefully observed the expressions of everyone present, his cold gray eyes moving inch by inch, like a goshawk examining its prey.
Some people’s eyes were full of surprise, while others’ eyes were calm.
Things that happen in an instant are best done so fast that no one has time to react, and can best highlight a person's true emotions.
Armand leaned forward slightly. He sat in the highest position and observed everyone.
So at this dinner, how many people's souls have been harvested by the flower eaters... Hei Cha only reacted after being touched by Ah Fu with his elbow, "I'm very sorry, Lord Earl, yes My mistake.”
“It also made all distinguished guests laugh.”
"The entire dinner was organized by me, and I am fully responsible for any errors or mistakes. I would like to express my deepest apologies."
Afu immediately defended, "Master! After all, it's just a flaw in a bowl. , if Eve is punished for this little detail..."
Armand raised his head, under the warm yellow light, his handsome features were undoubtedly revealed, and his cold gray eyes seemed to be tainted with a little warmth. .
He laughed carelessly, "I didn't say I wanted to punish Eve for this, I just reminded her, besides..."
"It's not a matter of details, she just did something wrong. ”
Afu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, wrong."
The smile on Armand's face became colder and colder, "Then what do you think she did wrong?"
"The mistake was..." Ah Fu felt cold sweat break out on his forehead due to the tremendous pressure, but he hesitated for a long time and couldn't think of the right words.
Because the so-called correctness is not really correct, but the answer that hits Count Armand's heart.
Afu is very keen, but he does not have the ability to see into people's hearts. What's more, the master is not a human at all.
Armand stopped smiling, and the gentleness that the smile showed on his whole face completely disappeared, but he was so expressionless that he didn't look so oppressive.
"Let me answer it for you. She was wrong in putting this bowl in front of me."
The implication is that everyone at the banquet table can use it. This bowl with minor flaws is unique to Count Armand.
After Armand finished speaking, his cold gray eyes began to scan everyone present again. When he finally looked at Ran Ran, whose eyes were lifeless, he couldn't help but pause, and then added.
"Not even in front of Elizabeth."
Ah Fu could hardly turn around. He was shocked by the huge amount of information in these words.
What the master means is that in the castle, Miss Elizabeth’s status is only lower than that of the master!
But why! Why did the master's attitude towards Miss Elizabeth change so much in just one day!
Afu hunched over, with deep respect in his tone.
“I understand.”
Armand knocked on the table nonchalantly, finally finalizing the matter.
"Okay, after the dinner, Ah Fu, you go and collect the punishment yourself."
Hei Cha endured his heart palpitations and was stunned for a while before he realized this logic.
Count Armand said he would not punish her, so he really would not punish her. The reason why Alfred wanted to be punished was because he did not answer Count Armand's question.
But essentially, the result was that Ah Fu, who stood up for her, bore the punishment on her behalf.
I'm afraid Armand had already decided to do this when Ah Fu first spoke. No matter what happens in the future, Armand will only find ways to achieve this result...
Black Tea figured this out At the same time, I can't help but feel trembling at Armand's ruthlessness.
Going back to the beginning of this little incident, Armand blamed a defective bowl...
Does he really care about this bowl?
In the end, the dinner ended without incident. Armand did not ask anyone any more questions. He seemed to be retreating to the background, quietly watching the interactions of everyone on the scene.
Quiet and unquestioning, completely unlike the sharp-edged look he had when he asked Mellis the question before.
But Armand did not speak. Except for the occasional conversation between Mellis and Christine, the entire banquet hall was extremely quiet.
Armand sat next to Ran Ran, fiddling with her long hair.
“This is probably your daily world, as dead and silent as it is.”
“It won’t always be like this, just like a story will always develop and there will always be ups and downs, and a river will always have waves if it keeps flowing. .”
"Dear Elizabeth, the show is about to begin."
