Chapter 409: Conversation in the Study
Arthur died, and Arthur, a strong-looking driver in his thirties, died silently. This shocked Bernard very much, he almost couldn't believe his eyes, and he also knew that Arthur's other role, in addition to being a driver, he was also a very good fighter.
But such a person died silently in his car, and there was no one else in the car at all, he immediately turned around and faced Zoe again, with anger and surprise in his eyes, yes, there was only one person besides himself who had a reason to kill Arthur.
"You did it, didn't you?" He stared at Zoe with a hoarse voice and red eyes. There were monstrous waves in his heart, and he felt that he was a little overwhelmed, and this woman seemed to be much more simple than what he saw.
"Did I do it?" Zoe also saw that the driver was suddenly dead, and her heart was about to jump out. She felt as if this matter had something to do with her, but she couldn't tell what was going on, so when Bernard pressed her, she sneered, "I'm sitting across from you, I didn't do anything, you can see it clearly, but I suspect that you killed him yourself!" ”
"I killed him? Haha, do you think it's a joke? Bernard was closing in on Zoe again, and he even leaned forward, his face almost touching Zoe's.
"Stay away from me!" Zoe glared at him angrily, not at all cowardly, she didn't want to show her weak side in front of this bastard, she wanted to be stronger. He couldn't let him think he was weak.
The two men looked at each other for a long time, and Bernard finally stepped back and slowly sat down in his seat. He looked at Zoe with some complicated feelings, and slowly brewed love.
"You're nice, hidden deeply!" Bernard suddenly smiled, "But...... Don't think you're going to win, I'll show you what kind of person I am! As he spoke, his eyes suddenly turned red, as red as scarlet blood illuminated by the moonlight.
"Bernard!" Zoe screamed. She couldn't figure out why people became like this, although she was still determined, but such a change was still too terrifying after all.
Maybe it's Zoe's exclamation. Woke up Bernard, as if he had suddenly woken up, the blood-red in his eyes slowly began to recede and become normal. And Bernard who is normal. The mentality is also slowly starting to normalize. He pursed his lips and remained silent.
The two faced each other like this for a long time, and Bernard, as if he had made up his mind, said to Zoe, "You go!" Let's go! ”
"Ahh And the door opened. Zoe jumped out of the car and ran down the road. She's going to get away from this horrible fellow.
Bernard also got out of the car, and without looking in the direction Zoe left, he opened the door to the cab, picked Arthur off the driver's seat, and put him in the back seat of the car. I got into the cab, started the car, and soon the car disappeared into the night.
The car drove quickly, arriving in Miami in less than three hours, and then stopped at a luxurious villa in Palm Beach, where Bernard got out of the car and headed upstairs. It was already early in the morning, but the lights were still on in the study upstairs.
"You didn't bring anyone here?" Sitting on the wooden chair behind the desk was a man who looked to be in his seventies, his hair was a little gray, but he was in good spirits, with a pair of eyes, and the light shining from the lenses was very sharp, not at all like a dying man.
"Or did you kill someone?" He stood up, then stepped aside, took a book from the shelf, and sat down behind the desk, and in the process, he stopped looking up except at the man who had come in, as if nothing had piqued his interest.
"Nope!" Bernard said respectfully.
"Didn't kill her or didn't bring her back?" At this time, the old man finally raised his eyes and looked at the young man standing in front of him, "You are more steady, much stronger than Grenson, and one of the most likely candidates to inherit this family, can you sue me for a reason?" ”
"Because I'm not sure!" Bernard finally voiced his concerns.
The old man glanced at Bernard in surprise, and then nodded: "I believe what you said, is there anyone around her to protect her?" Even if it can make you feel unsure, I don't think it's easy! ”
"Yes, I think so too. Because I don't feel their existence, and they kill Arthur lightly. Bernard lowered his head, a little afraid to raise it, "So...... I'm sorry, I can take responsibility for what I did and accept any punishment in the family! ”
"No, I don't blame you for this!" The old man shook his head, he was shocked in his heart by Arthur's death, and it was a silent death, he knew Arthur's ability, he was the best in their family, not only a driver, but also a very good bodyguard, "It seems...... We all underestimated our opponents! ”
"Yes, it was a mistake, I think, is it possible to call back all the people who were sent out?" Bernard cautiously proposed his own proposal. When Arthur died silently, a huge wave was set off in his heart, so in the end, he made a wise choice.
"Wait!" The old man shook his head, "You can't stop the whole thing because of your opinion, if that's not possible, stop it." Go down and rest well, Arthur is well buried, he has served the family all his life, and he deserves the honor he deserves. ”
"Yes, I'll do it!" Bernard nodded, then quietly stepped out, closing the door as well. He said what he had to say, and as for how to decide, it depended on the decision of the old man in the study. He is the highest authority in the entire Modin family, Diocletian de Moore.
The sound of the door closing softly is heard. Diocletian could no longer read the book, so he took off his glasses and threw them at the desk, rubbing his nose and leaning back in his chair. Bernard's words just now made him feel a little inexplicably worried. The feeling is very real.
It seems that that bastard boy Grayson Mordin has caused a big problem for the Mordin family. Now the opponent has not turned against them, because if they do, they can see it by killing Arthur silently. They also have the ability to take out Bernard, but they don't, so there's room for manoeuvre!
But once it is stopped, it will cause the family to distrust themselves, and the orders issued by the family have never been taken back in history, although each of the highest authorities has the power to take back their orders, but they cannot be the first to do so in any case.
"Jason." Diocletian screamed.
There was an extra person in the room, a man in his sixties, with a thin figure, which made him look very long, but the whole person looked like a silent ghost, at least when Bernard was in the room just now, he didn't notice that there was such a person.
"Go see them. I'm afraid they'll do something wrong! Diocletian sighed softly, "The family is full of uneasy people, except for Bernard, there is no one who can inherit the family business, but...... He was too young to be convinced. ”
"And you're presiding over the overall situation, and he'll get the authority he deserves!" The old man replied in a low voice.
"I hope so." Diocletian shook his head, "Go ahead, don't alarm the others, what I'm most worried about is the Fan Zhen they dealt with." I checked his background and there were a few things. I really can't see through this person, but what's even more interesting is that Dan Milk, the deputy executive chairman of the California Senate, is actually connected to this person. ”
"You want to test his strength?" The old man said.
"It's okay, if the strength is enough, we don't want to provoke such a person! Don't forget, our family has been able to stand for 100 years because we have been able to keep a low profile enough in front of those who are capable enough. Diocletian smiled bitterly, "If he has enough, he should hand over Gresson, he can't affect the whole family because of him, it's a pity...... He's so much worse than Bernard! ”
"Bernard is very good!"
"Do you know what I admire most about him?" Diocletian looked at the old man, "Because he can maintain enough humility, patience and low-key in front of powerful people, and even the spirit of sacrifice!" ”
"I understand!"
"Okay, get this done well, don't let them mess around." Diocletian said, leaning back in his chair tiredly and not speaking again.
The old man knew that he was already very tired, so he quietly turned around and walked out of the room gently, he was going to complete the task assigned by Diocletian, in the whole family, he was a special being, he was only loyal to Diocletian alone, and the juniors in the family maintained a respectful attitude towards him.
His figure quickly disappeared into the night.
At the same time, Grison was in the basement of a room, opposite his father, who was walking around, and his mother, looking out with some uneasiness. The outside of the basement is guarded. The atmosphere in the basement was somewhat oppressive, and although it was relatively clean, it made Grayson feel like he was going to rage.
"Didn't you say foolproof? How did they get into the woods? Stumped that all those moddles in the Modin family are for good looks, for decoration, or even just for hide and seek? What a damn one! Grison roared uncontrollably again, he needed to vent! (To be continued......)
