After agreeing with his grandfather, Charles wasted no more time, and the next day he put aside a business and went to visit Baron de Beauwon's mansion.

He had come to intercede with Albert, and at the same time to express his grandfather's and his own condolences to the great banker - by the way, the old fellow was in tears.

As he expected, when he had just arrived at the mansion, he saw a steady stream of visitors in the living room.

Because of the bad news, everyone was wearing heavy black coats, and their expressions were very solemn, although there may not be much grief, but it may still be able to give the young soul who is already in heaven a little comfort.

At this time, the servants in the mansion looked very different, they were not so much panicked, but a look of doomsday, numb calm with indescribable horror, and they looked extremely nervous, even the servants who were usually able to entertain guests now looked a little uneasy, as if they were deeply afraid that they were about to come to a catastrophe.

This nervousness was soon passed on to the guests, who looked at each other and wanted to say something comforting but didn't know what to say. As a result, this suppressed atmosphere became more and more gloomy over the months, making almost everyone feel breathless.

To the disappointment of Charles and others, the Baron never appeared before them after a long time of coming, and was only entertained by these servants.

Although I can understand his mood at this time, these guests are not very idle people after all, so everyone is deeply mourning. They are also planning to say goodbye.

Just when Charles was about to leave, suddenly. The door to the living room reopened. The Mademoiselle de Beauwong walked in briskly with her usual look of no one in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, everybody. Got everyone waiting so long. Her face was very pale, and she looked haggard and tired, but her voice remained calm, "Thank you for coming to visit me today, but my father is too sad now, and the doctor told him to recuperate first, so he can't receive guests today, so I can only entertain him...... Thank you for your understanding. ”

Then, she walked up to the guest. Thank them one by one and accept everyone's condolences.

Looks like I've been hit hard. Charles sneered inwardly.

"Mademoiselle de Beauwon, I am so saddened for the Baron that such a tragedy should have happened at such an age! Rest assured, the murderer will be brought to justice, and he will be punished with the severest punishment at that time! When Lola walked up to Charles, Charles sighed with a sad face. I know how bad news this will hit you and your father, but please don't be too sad, for the dead will not be able to be brought back to life. Your father, in particular, was tasked with running the economy of our country. The country and the people need his health ......"

"Thank you, Mr. Tremville." Lola nodded politely at him. "I've already advised my father to cheer him up early. But...... You can understand that, right? After all, it's such a blow. How could he have made it through so quickly? I can only let time slowly heal his heart. As for me......"

She smiled wryly, "I only learned about this when I came back yesterday morning. Well, you probably know that, too. I've been learning from your sister and having a lot of fun. I didn't expect ...... I didn't expect to hear this kind of bad news when I came back! What an unspeakable ordeal! I fainted as soon as I heard the news, and I didn't wake up until the evening, and I had a high fever, which was really ...... It's horrible. ”

"Excuse me, Miss." Charles had no choice but to persuade again.

"How can you endure it? That's how my brother was killed......" Lola sighed, almost like she was about to cry, "he was brutally killed for no apparent reason!" I'm really willing to exchange my qiē for my brother's resurrection! ”

"After hearing your words, I believe that your brother's spirit in heaven will also be comforted." Charles nodded slightly. "However, people can't be resurrected after death, this is common sense in the world after all, so you better look at it."

"Everybody knows that, sir. But...... How can you hold back not to be sad? She shook her head and sighed, and then she frowned slightly, her expression sad and strong, and as if with great anger. As for those who have committed such heinous crimes...... We will not forgive! We will, we will let him, or them, die without a place to be buried! ”

"It will be so, miss. But now, no amount of grief you can give. Charles hurriedly persuaded again. You should brace yourself and deal with the next situation for your family and your father, after all, you are already your father's only child. Please be strong and support your father through this difficult storm - it will not be easy, but it is the most important thing you should do. ”

"Thank you, I'll do it." Lola saluted Charles again, then smiled apologetically and walked away to entertain the other guests.

Good guy, she's really not so sad! I wonder if it's a joy and dizziness! Looking at her back as she departed calmly, Charles thought to himself.

Of course, he could see the indifference that was hidden behind the grief - fortunately, it didn't seem to be ecstasy.

This is not unexpected, though.

Although it is an elder brother, if death can bring hundreds of millions of wealth to himself, how many people will be really sad? God will forgive such indifference. Although he has met Lola very little and does not know much, he subconsciously feels that this is a person who will never be emotional, let alone waste his feelings.

However, it seems that the De-Beauwang family has not yet reaped the blow. The son died, but the daughter was still barely useful. The family is still worth befriending—Charles made another judgment at the same time.

After being received by his master and expressing his condolences, the guests gradually began to take their leave, and just as Charles was about to leave, a servant suddenly came up to him and whispered to him, and he went with him again.

When he walked out of the living room and into the hallway, he found Lola already waiting for him.

"Monsieur de Beauvang wants to see me alone?" He looked at the other with some confusion.

"Yes, sir." Lola nodded quietly, "If you have time, please come with me, he's in the study now." ”

"Why did he come to see me alone?"

If you're in the mood to meet me, why don't you just meet the others? The subtext of the Charles is this.

"I don't know...... Lola also looked a little confused, "Father just sent the order, he didn't explain, and we didn't question his habits. ”

"Okay, please take me there." Seeing that she couldn't ask anything, Charles nodded, "It just so happens that I have something to tell him." ”

Lola nodded, then turned and led Charles towards her father's study.

"Mr. Treville...... I have to warn you first, when you see your father, try not to irritate him too much, and don't say anything too sad, okay? After walking for a while, Lola suddenly told Charles without looking back, "Since I heard that...... After that news, his current mental state is a little worrying...... So, wait a minute, if he loses his temper at you, you must not be angry. ”

"Okay, I know." Charles replied, "I didn't intend to cause trouble for him this time, and I can understand the pain of losing a child. ”

"That's great." Lola looked relieved, and then she suddenly changed the subject, "How are you doing?" She must have been terrified when she heard such terrible news......"

"Well, I was really scared. After all, this kind of thing is too out of the norm for her. She is still very worried about you, and she wants me to give you a few words of encouragement. ”

In other words, have you already told your brother what you need from her? Lola breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that at least for half a year, this person is still reliable.

"He's really a good boy with a lot of feelings and a good heart...... When you get back, thank her for me. She replied with a slightly mocking smile.

Although Charles did not understand what she meant, he could also hear the hint of sarcasm in Lola's tone, and he was a little unhappy that his sister was mourning for her, but she did not appreciate it.

"Still, I don't think she needs to worry about it now, because you're not overly sad." He replied with a slight sarcasm.

Lola's face turned pale, and she secretly scolded herself for being too proud, and quickly regained her spirits.

"You're right, I'm not particularly sad right now." She replied with a straight face, "One day of sadness is enough, right?" ”

Seeing Lola so honest, Charles felt a lot more relieved - now that the two of them were alone, he would be uncomfortable if she put on a sad appearance again.

As the two men talked, Lola's footsteps finally stopped, and she stood in the doorway of the study.

Then, cautiously, she raised her hand and knocked on the thick door.

There was no echo in the study other than a muffled sound.

But Lola was not surprised, and then she carefully half-pushed the door open, and made a gesture to Charles to invite in, without herself intending to enter.

So, Charles walked in on his own, into a mess of his study.

The baron roared.

"You've come just in time! Call that friend of yours to me, too! I'm going to interrogate him myself! (To be continued......) R1292
