Chapter 30 Test
However, although he bowed his head to Purficott, the noble young man was not discouraged.
After all, he also knew clearly that the Purfict family did have a title of baronet, and was closely related to the eldest princess and the Duke of Gloucester. He wanted to inherit the title in advance, or even change the title to a baronet. It's not impossible.
In fact, the reason why he entangled Purficott was largely because of this.
Who knows that he is only the second son in the family. Although he also has the right to inherit, he has to die before his brother can inherit the title of the family.
Therefore, for the second son of a nobleman like him who has almost no chance of inheriting the title, a noble girl with the right to inherit like Perficott is simply the most ideal and perfect partner. As long as he marries her, he can become a real prince. noble.
It’s just that Purficott is not the ordinary aristocratic lady he usually sees in salons or banquets, and will be easily captured by his rhetoric honed in a romantic place.
What's more, because Purficott was impatient with his entanglement, he once simply set up a trap to trap him in, and finally made him lose face in the aristocratic social circle.
Although due to his family background, he was not socially dead in the aristocratic social circle, he was ridiculed for nearly a year.
It is precisely because of this that he has no feelings for Perfectcott. Now, not only because of love but hatred, he is also angry in his heart. He has already made up his mind in his heart to let him go after achieving his goal. Purficott "died" of illness.
But at the moment, he feels that he still needs to conceal his purpose to some extent and appear as "attractive" as possible in front of Purficott, although he also knows that he wants to achieve his goal through normal pursuit. The purpose is almost impossible.
So after the salute, he said to Purficott unceremoniously: "I heard that Baroness Brandlis sold all the alchemy workshops and shops under your name. Is there anything I need money for?
If you need money, just ask, I still have it here..."
"If you don't even have money, why should I sell it? If you don’t know the reason for the property in your name, then you are not qualified to discuss this topic with me.” Purficott was rude and interrupted him before he finished his fart: “Go back and ask you. "My father, if he knows what the Duke of Gloucester is busy with recently, then he may be qualified to discuss this issue with me."
Perfect didn't finish the sentence, but spoke with considerable contempt. She glanced at him, her meaning self-evident.
The aristocratic young man obviously couldn't stand this anger and wanted to say some harsh words, but when he saw Foster next to Purfict and Oliver who rushed to smooth things over, but actually called the security personnel, he could only say harsh words. After giving Purfict a fierce look, he turned around and left dejectedly.
Seeing the aristocratic young man leave, Oliver wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead as if relieved, then came to Perfectcott's side and whispered: "Miss Brandless , I have to say that it is not irrational for you to offend Mr. Theodore. The Blackwood family is still quite powerful in Langton, and Viscount Blackwood still has a certain influence in the military."
"Blackwood. The Viscount does have a certain influence in the military, but if he doesn't even know why I want to sell my property, then he has no right to pose a threat to me." Perficott looked at the fat man in front of him. After thinking about it, I decided to give him a chance: "I have recently received royal support and I think you already know about hosting the Arctic scientific expedition project.
Yesterday at Windsor Castle, Chief Anne The princess held a fundraising dinner to raise 270,000 gold pounds for the entire Arctic scientific research project."
At this point, Purficott could clearly see that the fat man was listening. When the word "two hundred and seventy thousand gold pounds" came to the word, his two little eyes suddenly shone with light, and the look of longing and longing was difficult to conceal. Purficott believed that it was the inner excitement of this fat Philistine.
"Miss Brandless, if there is a place where a small shop can be used, please feel free to ask!" Oliver faced Perfectcott at this time and put on a show she had never seen before. She was so humble and pious, and the look in her eyes seemed to be looking at the goddess of wealth.
Faced with Oliver's attitude, Purficott just raised the corner of his mouth and said immediately: "Mr. Oliver, we have known each other for a long time. I know very well what abilities you have. Please don't let money go to your head.
You might as well use your smart mind to seriously think about why I was able to raise such a huge sum of money, and why I really need to spend it on just Arctic scientific research. So much money?
That’s it. If you can’t figure it out, I can’t help you. But if you figure it out, come to me at Brandlis Manor.”
After saying that, Purficott said nothing more and turned around to leave Oliver's alchemy workshop.
Looking at Perfectcott's leaving figure, Oliver's always smiling face finally fell silent, and his expression became very tangled. Apparently he understood what Perfectcott said, and was Think carefully about what she said.
He can hear the implication between Purficott's words. As a shrewd businessman, he is also well-informed. Being able to know that Purficott is presiding over the Arctic scientific expedition plan is proof of his strength.
After all, although this matter has been spread among the upper class, as a businessman, if you want to find out about it, you still need some strength and connections.
However, at this time, Oliver seemed very hesitant, as if he was a little undecided.
"Boss, is Miss Brandlis rejecting you?" A waiter came to Oliver and asked him curiously.
"No, on the contrary, she extended an invitation to me." Oliver shook his head slightly, then sighed and said: "What a terrible life! It's something that even a lord is not qualified to know, Brandley Miss Si really posed a problem for me!"
But after saying this, he slapped the guy next to him on the back of the head: "Don't lie about things you shouldn't know. Ask around and go to work!”
After driving away the curious boy, Oliver looked up at the old sign of the workshop and laughed at himself: “It’s true that the older you get, the less courageous you are. A little girl stopped me!"
Although he said this, the expression on Oliver's face no longer hesitated, and it was obvious that he had made a decision.
