106 chapter103
Mr. Roshill accepted her gift, and like an ordinary old man in his sixties, he invited his beloved grandson and his sweetheart to dinner with a kind and kind smile. The few of them sat down at a long table covered with green tablecloths, and gossiped about each other across the long table.
Her secret belly slander is indeed her grandson, and there are some things that flow in the blood, such as the same gentle smile, elegant demeanor, and unknown ruthlessness between them.
After dinner, Alan took her up to say goodbye to her grandfather and left together. They got into a car, passed through a busy street, turned the corner into a secluded boulevard, entered a courtyard gate, and looked through the iron railing, the view of the garden was beautiful, but she felt a little deserted.
After a long hallway, they came to a door. Reaching out, he pushed the door open—the room was dimly lit, and a figure was hazy in the corner.
When her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she saw a silver-haired man sitting on a chair, he was just sitting blankly, with no expression on his face, and he didn't dare to take everything in front of her as a story, because this feeling was too real!
He doesn't appear much in it, and the Rosehill family rarely mentions him for some reason, from his pale complexion, thin chin, straight nose bridge, and vaguely show his handsome facial features when he was young. The man who appeared in front of them was none other than Merlot, and the young man whispered, "Father!"
Only then did the man react, shook his eyelashes slightly, and asked in a low voice, "Are you ......?"
The blonde young man walked over gently, his mood was a little complicated, he leaned over to pick up the blanket that had slipped under the man's knees, and put the blanket on the silver-haired man's shoulders again: "Have you forgotten? I'm Alan. ”
After a moment, he moved his lips and said, "Alan?"
Alan lowered his eyelashes and replied lightly, "It's me." ”
The silver-haired man didn't speak, he seemed to remember something, suddenly opened his closed eyes, and asked, "Your mother... Is she okay now?"
The blonde young man replied, "She is long gone." ”
"Gone?" his gaze was blank, a confused expression appeared on his face, and after a moment, his voice choked, "I miss her, Alan, I miss your mother." ”
"Miss ......" a sarcastic smile appeared next to the corner of his mouth: "She's just your pawn." ”
"Father, I'd better help you in!" he said and helped the silver-haired man to staggered up from the chair, the man's expression was extremely trance-like, and his fingers trembled slightly.
Alan helped Melo into the room, helped him to the large bed inside, and covered the silver-haired man with the quilt. He stood quietly and watched his father lie on a large bed.
He recalls his teenage years, when he had the UBEE team in his hands, and Ronald, Cavech, Glenn, Ona and others served him.
There was an investment advisory firm hanging under their name, and they had brought down a powerful opponent at that time! The boy sat in a chair and stared at the laptop screen: "It's coming out!"
"Ronald," he asked, tapping his fingers on the table, "how much do you know?"
Ronald stands beside the teenager: "We've seen a lot on Wall Street, making a play that seems to be taken for granted before destruction...... More than 500 of Wall Street's financial elite disappear or commit suicide every year – a fast-track death game. ”
He said to Allen: "There is a private adage on Wall Street, whoever dares to let their people fail to become presidents will be killed! This is not a joke, this is how President Carter's grandson died! Why did he die? First, they know too much, and second, they are too upright and kind." ”
The boy asked in a low voice, "How much data do you have?"
Ronald replied, "I'll get it right away if you need it." ”
"No, I've already collected it. The boy picked up a latte and drank it slowly.
After a while, he put down the coffee in his hand and approached the laptop screen: "Look at this news, the person in the photo is called Tony, he is the founder of a company, the most valuable thing this CEO has is the cell regeneration technology he invented, Tony died suddenly when he was close to the most successful, and after he died, the technology was theirs!"
The same thing happened to David Schwartz, the actual inventor of the airship, who died suddenly when he was close to success, and the Earl of Dublin bought the technology from his descendants. ”
Looking at the glowing screen, he said thoughtfully, "Do you know how many CEOs died last year?" Now it has been established that this organization has been hunting down good people and rivals, directly stealing other people's wealth and technology, but they are so hidden that it is difficult for people to detect.
"I can tell you a secret, they will make you very, very comfortable before they hunt you, so comfortable that you forget about death. ”
Big data from computers shows that the actual inventors of many inventions in the past have been stifled! In recent years, scientists have died mysteriously one after another......
Ronald never doubted the boy's ability to foresee certain events, and slowly raised his head and asked, "Boss, what should I do?"
The young man's voice was very calm: "Wait and see." There was a glint in his eyes, now the family needs himself, and he also needs the strength of the family...... Soon, he will remove all obstacles and return to his family.
His grandfather trained him as the head of the family, and everything was expected, and time passed quickly...... Four years later, he took over the Rosehill family without any suspense. The blonde young man walked up to the stage during an internal meeting and said, "We need a new plan. ”
"In order to bring a better future, it is tentatively named '2-13'. "It was as if a curtain had been lifted, and everything between heaven and earth was a huge playing field, everything was just chess and chess games, and the difference was that someone died in it.
When the footsteps of the young man appeared in the room, the black-haired and black-eyed woman looked out the window, the conversation between Alan and Melo just now was too weird, she didn't insert between them, but she was puzzled.
Hearing footsteps approaching, she turned around and asked, "Alan, your father, he... What's going on?"
Without speaking, he walked over to the wine cabinet and poured a glass of whiskey.
Merlot was given a colorless and odorless agent, which was decomposed in the human body in just a few minutes, and could not be thoroughly detected by modern medical equipment.
Back then, he found clues, including drugs that cause sudden heart death, drugs that cause depression, drugs that cause severe pain in the head, and VZX01 neurotoxin that makes people commit suicide...... These potions are colorless and odorless, very concealed, and kill people invisibly.
I knew about the family and the people behind it for a long time. It's been more than 200 years...... There is a group of people who are researching the most advanced poisons, they have been studying how to poison and kill people, and the technology is undoubtedly very, very advanced, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as the peak!
He took the cup and drank it all.
Putting down the cup and turning around, he glanced at her before he said, "Although he had a sudden cerebral infarction, although he was rescued, he became like this later." ”
A young woman like her may not have expected that such darkness would engulf people in this world!
His golden eyelashes drooped, and those who had been doing such things all along—those who were too clever to manage, too good to tame, were targeted for targeted purges: the light ones destroyed their reputations and careers and made them perpetuated, and the heavy ones were killed in secret.
There is a type of person in this world who is born with the evil seed of satisfying himself by hurting others—the world is sinister, simple and dangerous, and the more ruthless he is, the more he can have the last laugh...... The dark dangers of this world are enough for him to face!
She had a strange feeling at this time, no matter how cheerful or quiet as water, men were creatures, they changed as soon as they got on the wine, and the blonde young man came up to her, and he reached out and took her into his arms, "You get ready, we will go to Rome tomorrow." ”
The tip of her nose smelled the faint fragrance on the chest of her shirt, and she lowered her eyes and asked, "Are you sure we can find time to go out the day after tomorrow?"
A deep, magnetic voice pressed to her ear and said, "You'll know tomorrow!"
The cold sunlight fell on the floor, and bursts of crisp birdsong came from the window...... She opened her eyes from her sleep, and was greeted by a large pillow that had collapsed, and a few strands of beautiful blonde hair fell on it.
Looking up, a blonde man in a dressing gown slept beside him, his eyelashes covered long and finely like neat little brushes. She remembered that he had hugged her last night, and the kiss had landed on her soft lips, as if to embed her in his body, and the passion that gradually made people lose their minds.
The phone she put on the cabinet rang suddenly! The phone was connected, and a slightly surprised voice sounded: "You announced your engagement yesterday?" Su Xiaoqi noticed the other party's surprise and said, "Yes." Then he asked, "What's wrong with the company?"
Levi stood on the high-rise building, looking out the window, the drizzle was falling, and from time to time reporters were wandering outside the building, probing their brains in the nearby streets.
He held his mobile phone and said: "Now that the news is everywhere, there are many reporters outside the company, so don't appear in public for the time being, just avoid the limelight and don't attract attention." ”
As he spoke, he hung up the phone. She looked slightly stunned, a slender arm wrapped around the woman from behind, and the young man lowered his head and asked, "What's wrong?"
"There are journalists everywhere. She held a mobile phone in her hand, with a black line on her face, these days, whether it was on the road or in the company, it was full of reporters, and even Levi called her and asked her to find a place to stay outside for a while.
The blond young man said, "It seems that someone leaked the news of the engagement announcement that night!" He thought for a moment and said, "We happened to be going to Rome in the next few days." ”
"As for the media," he said, the corners ......of his mouth slightly upturned, "it will soon calm down." ”
Despite the turmoil outside, the two parties were having breakfast in their private villas, and they enjoyed this rare leisure time together.
She got up early in the morning, and after having eaten, sat down on the sofa for a while, and then looked at Alan's face, and wondered what kind of souvenir she would bring back to Rome. Su Xiaoqi got up and came to the hall, turned her head slightly, and saw a woman with blond hair and blue eyes walking in.
The woman's beautiful emerald eyes looked at them, and she came into the room and stood still.
Su Xiaoqi glanced back, she didn't say anything, the young man received her gaze, stepped forward and asked, "What are you doing here?"
She was dressed in a ladylike dress with a white shawl, with an elegant and gentle temperament, and asked, "Is this your decision?"
When the news of their engagement reached Catherine's ears, she decided to come to Egbert without wanting to meet them together.
"You've confirmed it!", he said calmly, "and I think it's clear to you that we are the result of the family's unilateral intentions. ”
The young man said word by word, "I'm sorry for that, I won't marry you." ”
The words exploded in her ears and rang with a bang...... Hasn't he been a little moved in his heart for such a long time? Sixteen years old liked him, how much preparation she had made for this, she had always believed that no matter what the family background and appearance were to learn and upbring, the two of them were the most suitable pair in this world.
There was a misty aura in her eyes at the moment, and her demeanor was particularly touching, but the young man didn't feel anything, and his tone was indifferent, "There is one more thing, you'd better not mess with my husband and wife." "This is Egbert, who has always been so sane and sober, who sees through everything so easily—
He said lightly: "I don't want anything regrettable to happen between us. ”
Tears rolled down her eyes, she loved him, and she had tried to get her hands on him by any means necessary, which was all the happiness and glory that a woman could feel—why bother? The last auction had told her that he didn't care about her at all.
She drooped her golden eyelashes, and what could be more painful and sad than the coldness and ruthlessness of her beloved?
Even if she is not loved by the man she falls in love with, she is still a strong and proud daughter. Looking at the two of them, he smiled elegantly, "I've been with you for so long, and now you have her, although I'm a little unwilling, but I hope your choice is not wrong!"
She turned her head, and the long figure disappeared into the doorway with the crisp sound of high heels......
An airliner landed at Rome Airport, the doors opened, and a pair of young men stepped out. A woman with black hair and black eyes stood next to the blonde man. She looked at the blue sky, the sun was hee, and the sky was blue...... Rome, still the same as when you left.
By the time they stepped off the plane, the media had largely calmed down and stopped reporting on it. The Rosehill family doesn't like to be exposed to the public, and hiding their news and strength in front of the media is also a kind of strength.
As soon as she entered the door of the antique shop, she hurried inside—and in the courtyard, in the middle of the Roman columns, she saw a dark-haired man in a long Italian suit.
Her eyes didn't know why they were slightly moist, she sniffed a little sour, and called, "Father!"
The man standing there, he turned his head and looked at her with a pair of deep and bright eyes, and she stepped forward step by step, "It's me, father." ”
John stared at the woman, a little incredulous, "Katarina?" and reached out and gave her a big hug, "You're still so pretty!!"
He hugged his daughter in a circle as he always did, and then put her down, "Tell me where you've traveled all these years?" When Caterina left the house, he didn't ask much, and the birds that grew up always flew out.
She looked at her father and smiled slightly, "You know what? I've been to Paris, Moscow, London, Tokyo, and New York in the past few years...... He also spread the painting to many places. ”
John looked at his daughter and could see that Katerina's temperament had changed a lot, and she was more mature and beautiful, "You are excellent, Katarina." ”
He turned to look at the young man behind him, Egbert Berlick Rothser. He was the first to receive a gift from a young man before his daughter returned, and when he picked up the gift sheet and looked at it, he understood a little.
Back at home, they sat down on the sofa and made a cup of coffee each, and the blonde young man sat next to the woman with a smile, and when discussing lifelong events, the man took the initiative to visit the woman's home to show respect for the woman's parents.
He turned to Mr. John and said, "Sir, I would like to speak with you. ”
John put down the cup in his hand, "That's exactly what I mean." ”
A group of them went out and came to a star-rated hotel with a beautiful environment.
After entering the hall, John and the others went straight to the elevator, and they followed Alan into a gorgeous private room.
With carefully prepared dishes and beautiful flowers on the table, John was pleased that the young man had chosen a place where the dishes and the overall setting were secondary, and it was important that there was no distinction between host and guest in such a place.
After entering the table, the young man sitting next to Caterina immediately raised his head and looked at Mr. John: "Sir, I hope you will marry your daughter to me." ”
Mr. John frowned and asked, "Is this serious?" The blond young man nodded at him and said, "Yes, I will take good care of her and take care of her." ”
When John heard this, he put down the cup in his hand, thought about it carefully, and then said to Alan: "My wife and I only have such a daughter as her, you must treat her well." ”
The young man promised, "I will, sir." ”
John looked at Alan and his daughter, and he spoke again: "You have just returned to Rome, I will take you around and tell me what you need to prepare." ”
This is agreed, and under normal circumstances, the place of engagement is chosen in the woman's house, and there is a large family to eat together, and the place becomes important, so the address is chosen in a manor. The location is not disturbed, it is easy to arrange and take care of the tastes of different guests.
On Friday, the banquet began, and the engagement was announced by the parents, who congratulated the two couples in a toast. At this moment, she appeared in front of everyone's eyes with a ring on her left ring finger and a purple dress.
A nine-tiered champagne tower sits on the table, tulip-shaped goblets and a room filled with lights, creating elegance and nobility, as well as a dazzling array of exquisite dishes and pastries.
The hall was bustling, and in the midst of the staggered cups, Mr. John stood on her left and Allen on her right, and Levi came over to toast her, "I didn't expect your engagement to be in front of my wedding!" 166 Reading Network
