Remember for a second No pop-ups

At the same time, the carved iron door of the Demville Manor was wide open, and low-key or luxurious vehicles stopped outside the door one after another, and the servants who had been waiting outside the door for a long time bowed down respectfully.

As the half-puzzled eyes of the guests looked at the castle-like building, they all looked at each other and lowered their voices of discussion.

"This is my first time at Demville Manor."

"Me too, I didn't expect to be invited to the banquet, I'm so lucky!"

"I heard that the Duke is in the House of Lords, who are we who invited?"

"I don't know, but she was invited in the name of the Duke of Demville. Judging by the servant's attitude, this person seems to have a high status in the family. ”

"Charlotte?"

"Didn't hear Charlotte came back......"

The scented ladies stepped into the lobby with the well-mannered gentlemen, and then they all stopped talking.

The other group was dressed in a completely different way, their suits standing on the smooth tiles, their expressions even more puzzled than theirs.

The two groups of people stared at each other, and then there was a buzz in the lobby.

"What's going on? Why are there so many outsiders coming to the family council? ”

"Where's Ashe?"

"If I'm not mistaken, those are the Demville people?"

"Wait, I just heard them talk about the family council? Oh my God, what ...... I encountered."

The two different voices converged into one body, and the noise made people's ears tingle.

Suddenly, a hoarse chuckle came from the back of the crowd. They turned and quietly looked at the man at the door.

The vanguard of the Prime Minister, the most unprovoked madman in Manchester.

However, his pale skin and deep-sea eyes were too charming, and countless ladies were attracted by his icy elegance, one after another, and moths to the fire.

A servant stepped back silently and hurried upstairs.

Ash watched the servant's back disappear around the corner of the second floor, and he curled his lips and stepped away with his long legs.

The family member strode forward, "Ash, what's going on?" There shouldn't be outsiders present in the family council, so why did these servants let them in? ”

"I think they got an invitation......"

Ash stepped lightly over the tiles, his slender arms stretched out, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Demville Manor. But I didn't invite you, so you should leave now. ”

The crowd fell silent.

Knowing that it was an invitation from Demville, they came non-stop, and now they were about to be driven back before it started?

Gassy!

"I don't think I can go back now." Someone said, "It's not you who invited me, and if we need to go back, she needs to give me a reason." ”

Ash half-turned to the side and glanced at the man, "Who is the person who invited you?" ”

No one answered, because they didn't know who had invited them.

But Ashmore knew than anyone who could support the servants and contact them.

In the middle of the day, someone said, "It was someone from the Demville family who invited me." ”

"No way, we're about to start the family council, and we won't invite outsiders to attend!"

"Who's that? I did get a call inviting me here as the Duke of Demville. ”

"The Duke is in the House of Lords now, how could he invite you?"

……

The chatter grew louder and louder, almost filling the entire building.

Ash remained silent, holding his cane in both hands and looking up at the empty second-floor corridor.

That woman really dared to do it, and her hands and feet were very sharp.

Suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and he narrowed his eyes a little, looking at the figure walking around the corner.

Layered vintage maxi skirts with lace on the cuffs that stretch all the way to the shoulders and snaked under the delicate collarbones, flowing like the most feminine curves.

She coiled her hair, and above the black butterfly around her neck, a few slightly curly strands of broken hair were gently washed.

They looked the same as Vivien, but they didn't have anything in common except for their faces and voices.

Qiao Weihuan felt Ash's gaze for the first time, and he scanned her with cold eyes like a neurotic, as if he wanted to freeze her into icicles.

With a smiling face, Qiao Weihuan nodded at him, looked away, took the arm handed over by the servant, and raised his feet and stepped down the steps.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I invited you here."

Her voice was neither light nor heavy, which made the discussion stop abruptly.

I don't know who exclaimed, "Vivien?!" ”

In the past few years, Vivian has told people everywhere that she is a woman from Demville, but no one has ever seen her appear on the same occasion as Demville, nor has she heard Demville admit it.

Everyone knows that she is a stupid girl who is about to get hysteria.

But what did they see now, Vivien in the heavily guarded manor? Did you come in over the wall?

No, seeing the maid holding Vivien's arm, that attitude clearly shows that he treats her as his master, right......

"It's the first time I've heard Vivien's name, and it does look like we do look alike."

Qiao Weihuan thought of this situation earlier, and she gently dispelled everyone's speculation, "But my name is Qiao Weihuan." ”

"By inviting you to the Manor, I meant to get to know your honorable ones. I'm sorry that this is happening. But like everyone else, I didn't expect a family council to be held today. ”

She gracefully stepped down a level again, and her dark gaze slid through the shadows of the clothes and temples in the lobby, and fell on the family man, "The Duke of Demville is in London, I want to know, about the convening of the family council, does he know?" ”

The group looked at each other, "Maybe the Duke doesn't know yet...... But we want to know now, who are you? ”

Qiao Wei smiled and looked at Ash fixedly, "So the person who is going to hold the family council this time, is it Ash?" ”

At the same time, she raised her hand and touched the slender silver chain around her neck. On the ring finger of the left hand, the opal stares at the lobby, taking in the various postures of people.

…… A symbol of the hostess of Demville!

I had long heard that there was a woman by the duke's side, but I didn't expect to wear a ring!

"God, with all due respect, I didn't know you were at the manor...... It's Ash who wants to hold a family council. ”

Their subtle change of attitude quieted the silent crowd even more.

None of the people present were stupid, in this case, it was clear that there was a problem, no one dared to say more, nor did they dare to act, but quietly looked at Qiao Weihuan and Ashe with their eyes.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, there is no one within a radius of one meter from Ash's side.

He was like a lone knight, wrapped in a pure white swallowtail, and the sword hidden in his heart was blackened by his own blood.

Qiao Weihuan bent his eyes, "Mr. Ashe, the venue of the family council in Demville must be a manor, but I haven't been notified in any way, may I ask if you are ignoring me, or the existence of the duke?" ”

Ash looked at her silently for a moment, then he laughed silently.

"Of course I will not ignore the beautiful lady, as well as the honorable duke."

That kind of frivolous and hoarse tone made people almost think that he and Qiao Weihuan had something.

Qiao Weihuan's expression remained unchanged, she took the last step down the stairs with all kinds of eyes, and looked at Ash calmly, "Since Mr. Ash still remembers who the master of Demville is, then this council may have to be moved until the Duke returns." ”

"No, no, no......"

Ash snapped his index finger, "The family council has never been just about Demville, any major matter can be decided through the family council, such as giving up the title. ”

"But before that, the Duke must be present at every family council, and this time should be no exception."

"Maybe you haven't heard of it, the rules that follow can be broken. And until you marry Stuart, you don't have any right to decide whether or not to hold a family council. ”

Qiao Weihuan smiled a little and raised his eyes, "I'm afraid Mr. Ash has forgotten that you are just the adopted son of old Mr. Demwell, and this manor does not belong to you." ”

It's the same with knighthoods.

Ash lowered his eyes coldly, and his thin lips opened and closed: "O...... I kind of understand your follow-up. ”

The atmosphere was instantly deadlocked.

With the two of them as the center, the smell of gunpowder in the air probed into the tip of people's noses from all directions.

People who have never seen this kind of scene have cold sweat coming down, they have long known that the infighting of the Demville family is very serious, and now they are facing each other in front of all the nobles in Manchester, and they are especially bumping into them!

Suddenly, Ash quickly tapped his cane on the ground and laughed wildly.

"Cecil, you are really beyond my expectations!"

He turned around, his long white fingers drawing lines in the air, "You asked these people to come just to prevent me from opening a family council?" But that doesn't work. Whether you want it or not, this council is bound to begin! ”

Outside the gate, there were uniform footsteps approaching, and some people turned around and saw a few sturdy people striding over, and the menacing momentum on their bodies made people tremble.

Qiao Weihuan's eyes turned cold, she knew that this madman would dare to do anything!

With so many people of high status present, he can ignore it. If this is an empty nest, he may not know what to do!

Luckily, she was prepared......

Qiao Weihuan shouted suddenly: "Close the door!" ”

There was a loud "boom", and the men in suits who had been guarding the door for a long time closed the heavy door heavily.

Subsequently, the men in suits hidden in the shadows appeared together, surrounded the entire hall, and strictly guarded the windows of every person who might come in!

Noisy voices instantly sounded in the lobby, and the frightened pale ladies exclaimed: "What's the matter? What's this for?! ”
