Chapter 707: The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment
"Miles, how many years have you been following?"
In the garden of Rockefeller Manor, the elder Rockefeller wore a black wool coat and a walking stick with the northern commander Miles Bledge.
As soon as the snow stopped, the whole garden was covered in snow, quiet and peaceful, the pool of the fountain was covered with a thick layer of ice, and several wild ducks were lying in the snow to warm each other, and it was like walking into a fairy tale.
However, Miles Blaitch didn't have the heart to enjoy the snow, the Rockefeller family undercurrent was surging, and the battle for the storage position was becoming more and more fierce, as Robert's father-in-law, he knew that he couldn't stay out at all, and now the old Rockefeller recruited him into the manor, something must happen.
"Imperial relatives" is a kind of help, but special moments are also an eye of the storm, there are two sides to things in this world, there is a favorable side, and there is also an unfavorable side, just like Miles Bletch as Robert's father-in-law, he has no choice, because a marriage has already marked him as Robert's camp.
"It's been 71 years!"
Miles Bright sighed. "It's been 71 years since we joined the army together, when you were the captain and I was the vice-captain, if you weren't the Führer's son, I would have been your captain. ”
"Haha, nonsense, I became the captain by my own ability, and Zimmerman's head will not take care of me. "When Rockefeller Sr. heard Miles Bledge's words, he felt like he was young.
In order to train the old Rockefeller, the old Rockefeller was thrown into the barracks for a period of time, and it was then that he got acquainted with Miles Bleitch, but he didn't expect this acquaintance to be 71 years, and he also became an in-law, which is enough to see how deep the relationship between the two is.
"Hey, time flies so fast, it's 71 years in a blink of an eye. Old Rockefeller couldn't help but sigh after speaking. Time never spares anyone, including him.
"yes, it's been 71 years!" exclaimed Miles Bleitch.
"When I was younger, I thought that I might die on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to live for so long and still have children and grandchildren, what a miracle!
But it's not a good thing for people to live too long when they're too old, and it's coming and blocking people's path.
Anyway, it's time for us to make way for others.
Go home and wait for me first, and I'll take care of this mess at home, and we'll get a boat out to sea and watch the sun rise and set, like old Morgan, so as not to be suspicious here. ”
The old Rockefeller didn't distrust Miles Bledge, it's just that Miles Bright is old, and it's time to retire, and he's going to make a move, Miles Bright and his decades-long friendship, he doesn't want to embarrass Miles Bledge, so the best way is to let Miles Bright retire.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home. Miles Blacht replied very simply, since Robert and Dennis competed for the storage position, his position as commander of the north has been very embarrassing, so he has long proposed the idea of retirement to the old Rockefeller, but the old Rockefeller has not allowed it, he has only worked for two more years, and now he can retire with his whole body, and his friendship with Rockefeller is the best ending for him.
……
After Miles Blake left the manor, the old Rockefeller called Robert to the manor, and when it came to this point, it was time for him to make a move, waiting would only make Robert kill himself, father and son, he really didn't want to see that day.
On the other hand, after Robert received a call from the old Rockefeller, he was very worried, and the ghost in his heart could make him panic at the slightest disturbance, but the old Rockefeller summoned him and couldn't help but go, so after hanging up the phone, he came to the Rockefeller manor neatly dressed.
The manor was still as usual, but Robert always felt like he was being watched when he walked through the manor, and the closer he got to the old Rockefeller's study, the more panicked his heart became, and if he hadn't forced himself to calm down, he would have fled reflexively.
"Knock knock!"
Robert came to the old Rockefeller's study, exhaled heavily, summoned the greatest courage of his life, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Come in!"
The old Rockefeller in the room shouted flatly.
Robert then pushed the door open and walked into the study.
"Father, are you looking for me?"
He walked to the sofa and bowed to the old Rockefeller, got up and lowered his head and asked, not daring to look at the old Rockefeller.
"Sit down!"
The elder Rockefeller raised his hand and pointed to the empty seat on the couch opposite.
Robert walked over and sat down cautiously.
Old Rockefeller saw Robert sit down, looked up at the window and was silent for a while, and only after four or five minutes turned his head to look at Robert and spoke.
"I never maliciously guess you, I think of you in a good place, I have been waiting for you in the manor since the incident to admit your mistake, even if you kill someone, I am still full of hope for you and think that you will come, until just now I was still waiting, thinking that as long as you admit your mistake, you are still my son, but... You've disappointed me so much!" Old Rockefeller sighed in disappointment. He waited for Robert to admit his mistake, but the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
When Robert heard the old Rockefeller's words, he couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt down with a pop.
"Father, I was wrong!"
"What's wrong with you?"
"My mistake is that I don't use people well, I don't change my mistakes, I am wrong because I am lucky, I am wrong when I have ambitions, and I am wrong about my father!"
"It's not a fault to be ambitious, it's not your fault that your ability is not worthy of ambition, it's your fault that you don't have self-knowledge, and you have to force it, isn't it good to be a rich man? Is this really what attracts you so much?" Old Rockefeller sadly slapped the crutch in his hand.
Robert lowered his head and lay on the floor sobbing constantly, most people will only wake up when the matter is at the end of the day, and regret not being at the beginning, but it is too late, the old Rockefeller gave Robert the opportunity to admit his mistakes, but Robert missed them all.
There are some things that you miss are missed, and you can't go back.
"You and I have always been father and son, you can not miss the love of father, but I can't ignore it, and I don't want to go to the Rockefeller family with a reputation of killing a son, I wanted you to go to the church to confess, but Zoya is not wrong, there is no need to bear your fault, for Zoya's sake, you go home! You will not be allowed to go out for life, you will not be a visitor, and you will repent well!" Old Rockefeller waved his hand after speaking, and the two spies immediately stepped forward and left the study with Robert lying on the ground.
The Rockefeller Manor also has a huge church like the Morgan Manor, but the Morgan Manor Chapel is a sacred place for the patriarchs and their wives, while the Rockefeller Manor is a place of repentance for the most sinful clansmen.
But the elder Rockefeller was reluctant to treat Robert like this, and with Miles Bleitch's decades-long friendship with him, if Robert was allowed to go to church, what difference would be between Robert's wife Zoya and a widow. So for the sake of the face of Miles Blach's father and daughter, plus a touch of father-son affection, the old Rockefeller finally left a trace of affection.
