This time, the housekeeper did not send Chu Tianjiang to the terrace on the second floor, nor did he take him to the hot spring pool in the back garden, but went directly to Clara's bedroom.

The room was warm and the temperature was over 20 degrees Celsius.

The heat is emitted by a set of pipes that surround the room, and the hot water is drawn from the underground hot springs, which circulates before flowing into the garden.

"No one is allowed to come in without my orders, and you are no exception."

The butler nodded and turned to leave.

Clara only wore a very thin white silk pajama with no embellishments on it, and she looked very foxy and sexy.

It's just that Clara's outfit not only did not arouse Chu Tianjiang's interest, but also made him a little disgusted.

has been pestered by women from morning to night, and it is strange that Chu Tianjiang is not disgusted. Even if it's a profession, there's always a time to take a break from work.

"I know that you hate me now, and you don't believe me anymore."

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said with a smile: "Clara, you are the goddess in my heart, how can I hate you?" ”

Clara walked over and whispered in Chu Tianjiang's ear, "Because I deceived you and took advantage of you." ”

"I don't think so." Chu Tianjiang controlled his emotions.

"We're all going to stop acting, it's not good for us." Clara smiled and took Chu Tianjiang's hand, "Come with me, let you see the real Clara." ”

What the hell is this girl trying to do? Chu Tianjiang was suspicious in his heart.

Walking over to the fireplace, Clara taps the top left corner of the fireplace, and the cabinet on the left side of the fireplace where potted plants are placed slides open to the left, revealing a dark passageway.

The dark passage was very narrow, Clara could only pass sideways, and Chu Tianjiang almost squeezed in.

When Chu Tianjiang entered the secret passage, Clara slapped the wall again, and the outer cabinet returned to its original position, blocking the entrance to the dark passage.

The dark passage has been going down, turning four times in the middle.

Obviously, this secret passage is inside the thick outer wall of the castle, otherwise it would not be so narrow.

After descending for more than ten meters, Clara stopped. Chu Tianjiang secretly estimated that this should be a corner of the basement of the ancient castle.

There was an exit about the size of an entrance in front of it, but it was a door, not something obscuring it.

Waiting for Chu Tianjiang to come out, Clara closed the door.

Seeing the things in the room, Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and he also believed those rumors.

It's a huge treasure trove! On the left side are large chests, and in the open boxes are gold bars, diamonds, precious stones, and a variety of fine jewelry. On the right are rows of shelves with antiques, sculptures and paintings.

It's just that there is a large bed in the center of the room, which doesn't look like an antique.

"Why did you bring me here?" Chu Tianjiang took a deep breath and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will steal your treasure?" ”

"If you want to steal it, you can steal it with me." Clara sat on the edge of the bed and beckoned to Chu Tianjiang.

Chu Tianjiang secretly smiled bitterly, this girl is indeed very rich, no wonder she knows that she is a courtesan who can be a husband, and there are so many people pursuing her.

"If only you show me your wealth......"

"You're thinking wrong, I'm not showing you wealth, and you're rich yourself."

"What's that?"

Clara beckoned again, and Chu Tianjiang let out a long breath and walked over.

Pulling Chu Tianjiang to sit down, Clara leaned on his shoulder before saying, "I brought you here in the hope of clearing up the misunderstanding between us. ”

"Did we misunderstand?"

"Joseph, don't lie to me. Do you know that these words you said, as well as your demeanor and demeanor, have already told me what you think. I know that you hate me very much, think that I lied to you, think that I took advantage of you, so you suddenly became very cold to me. ”

"Clara......" Chu Tianjiang sighed very much, he was indeed too explicit.

"However, I don't hate you, because you don't know the true situation, that's why you hate me." Clara suddenly let out a low sob.

This girl is really good at acting, if she is an actor, I am afraid she can become an Oscar actress every year.

"Actually...... Actually, I don't know what happened to Lu Dao, and it wasn't until this morning that I learned that Lyudmina was in Matvey's convoy. ”

"Really?"

"You don't believe me?" Clara looked up, tears already moistening her cheeks. "I swear that if what I say is half a lie, I will not die well."

Chu Tianjiang sighed secretly and said, "It's not that I don't believe you, but I don't dare to believe you." ”

"I ......"

"Clara, you're smart, so you should know that I'm definitely not stupid. If Lyudmina dies in front of me, even if I didn't do it, the consequences are unimaginable. Chu Tianjiang smiled coldly and said, "Isaac wants to deal with me, and you are just a tool in your hand. ”

"Isaac isn't dealing with you, he's using you." Clara gritted her teeth and said, "Only now, I'm afraid he won't let you go." ”

"Whoever wants to deal with me will pay a heavy price!"

"You're going to deal with Isaac?"

"It's not that I'm going to deal with him, it's that he's going to provoke me." Chu Tianjiang let out a long sigh, "Since he refuses to let me go, it is naturally impossible for me to be restrained." ”

Clara hesitated for a moment and said, "If you're willing to promise me one thing, I'll help you deal with Isaac." ”

Chu Tianjiang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. "Clara, you're naïve. Yes, after I handed Lyudmina over to Nicholas III and sent someone to protect her, my relationship with Isaac broke off, but you would be too contemptuous of me to think that you would be able to convince you. Do you think, and I believe, that you will help an outsider deal with his cousin? Besides, everything you have now is what Isaac gave you. Without Isaac, you are nothing, and you will deal with him? ”

"Yes, you're right, Isaac is my cousin, and everything I have now is indeed thanks to him!"

Seeing that Clara suddenly became excited, Chu Tianjiang suddenly realized that the relationship between Clara and Isaac was definitely not as simple as cousins.

"Do I know why I haven't been able to conceive a child?"

Next, Clara tells an incredible story.

Isaac and Clara's Antonov family, already famous in the Soviet Union, their great-grandfather was a general of the Red Army, who served as commander-in-chief and deputy chief of the general staff of a certain front, and their great-grandmother was even more famous as a senior central official in the former Soviet Union. In my grandfather's generation, the Antonov family was even more talented, with three generals and several in-laws who served as high-ranking officials.

After the collapse of the former Soviet Union, their grandfather used his power to annex a large amount of land, and also controlled dozens of enterprises and several banks, and was extremely influential in Russia. Crucially, their grandfather, who helped Russia's first president win re-election, was one of the seven giants in Russian finance at the time, and the only Russian, the other six were Jewish.

The ethnic component ensured that the Antonov family would continue to prosper during Russia's second president.

After Puchkin was elected president, the first thing he did was to cut off the Jewish power that controlled Russia's financial lifeline. Because the Antonovs were standard Russians and had no relationship with the Jews, they were not only hit, but reused.

By his father's generation, the Antonov family was already flourishing.

At that time, the elder Antonov made a clear plan for the future of his four sons. The eldest son, Isaac's father, takes over the family's financial business, the second son takes over the family business, the third is responsible for consolidating the family's position in military and political circles, and the youngest son, Clara's father, takes over the family estate.

According to this arrangement, Isaac was supposed to become a financier.

It's just that, among his peers, Isaac is an outlier. Because he did not inherit his father's business, but joined the army and became a young officer.

Since the elder Antonov had not passed away, the whole family lived together, and Clara grew up with Isaac and other cousins and cousins.

Because she is clever and well-behaved, and very beautiful, Clara has been loved by old Antonov since she was a child. Her current estate was given to her by Antonov the Elder on the day of her tenth birthday as her future dowry, but it was tended by her father until she was married.

It can be said that among the many cousins, Clara was the most favored by the elder Antonov.

On Clara's seventeenth birthday, the elder Antonov held a grand coming-of-age ceremony for her, inviting thousands of celebrities from all walks of life to introduce his favorite granddaughter to celebrities. As is customary, this marks Clara's official entry into the social arena.

It was on this day that Clara's fate was completely changed.

That night, Isaac and his two cousins snuck into Clara's bedroom. By the time Clara found out, she was drugged. By the time she came to her senses, everything that should have happened had happened. Isaac not only drugged her, but also administered her with aphrodisiacs, and filmed the whole process, threatening her to ruin her reputation by posting the video on the Internet if she dared to tell anyone else.

Clara was completely devastated, and she didn't know what to do.

When she thought that she should tell her grandfather and ask him to punish Isaac, the elder Antonov fell ill and died a few days later.

From then on, Clara became Isaac's plaything.

Even after Clara's father found out that Isaac was too close to his daughter and moved out of his ancestral home with her, Isaac often came to Clara and insulted her. Sometimes, Isaac would even bring in other people and let them play with Clara.

Three years ago, Clara's catastrophe became even worse.
