Just as Charles and Lucien were still discussing how to carry out a coup d'état in the capital next, as if sensing this atmosphere, the sky was obscured more and more tightly by thick clouds, and the whole land was suppressed and gloomy.

It was impossible to know the full extent of the calamity that was taking place throughout the country, but Mademoiselle Matilda de Dilillion was as gloomy as the weather. The pupils behind the lenses are hollow and cold, glowing with unpleasant light.

At this moment, she is in the reception room of her home, receiving a guest who is not welcome, but has to be received.

Truth be told, she's been in a low mood lately since that night.

The night had hit her so hard, and one moment it had been so much fun, and the next, like a flying disaster, appeared before them that Miss Charlotte de Treville, her eyes full of contempt and anger, as if etched in her mind, kept coming before her eyes, and her heart was choked. Shame, chagrin, and resentment are all woven in her heart, but there is nowhere to vent, and she can't even show a little abnormality on her face, which makes her feel very uncomfortable. This bitterness is so strong that the original book, which has been signed by Monsieur Hugo himself, cannot be diluted.

What made her even more unhappy was that since the disaster that night, Charles had never looked for her again, and she hadn't even sent a word, although this was originally her idea, but after it became a reality, it still made her extremely depressed.

This mood, which was already extremely low, became even more depressed because of the person opposite.

Mademoiselle de Léoland, who sat across from her, sat there with a smile on her face, as if she had not felt such a feeling, and even took a sip of the coffee in front of her.

"Miss Delion, I think you know what I'm here for, don't you?" After drinking her coffee, Mary pursed her pale red lips, and then looked at Matilda with a smile, "I think, for the sake of my husband's instructions, I will have to rely on your help from time to time, and I would like to ask you for a lot of help......"

Although her tone was very humble, Mary could not hide the joy that came after her victory.

When I was asked for help, he didn't dare to come to see me, but he sent a representative...... Or the worst candidate.

Thinking of this, Matilda only felt a faint pain in her heart.

"I don't think I can help much with this, I'm sorry." With a kind of impatient anxiety, Matilda replied casually, thinking only of seeing off the guest as soon as possible. "If you need help with bonds, you're in the wrong place."

"Really? But I think you're the one we need to talk to the most. Mary smiled and asked, "Isn't your father, Your Excellency?" He has the highest discretion over the issues we discuss, doesn't he? ”

"That's my father's authority, not mine." Matilda replied rather coldly, "I can't interfere in my father's affairs for my own selfishness, it's unseemly to do so." ”

"Ahh Mary was still smiling, but there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in it, "But if someone else, such as Mr. himself, had come to you, would you still be so principled?" ”

With a mixture of embarrassment, Matilda felt her blood gushing up, but she forced herself to endure the taunt.

"In that case, let him come to me himself." With that undeclared anger, Matilda rejected Mary's words, "I can't help you. ”

"It's so sad for you to say that, I really want to ask you for help." Mary sighed, "Even if you don't think about our friendship, you can think about how to remedy the disaster that has happened now......

"...... disaster?" Matilda's heart sank, and then she looked at Mary with some wariness.

She silently prayed in her heart that Charles would not really go mad and tell her friend all the frustrations they should have buried in their hearts.

Because, the reality is cruel enough, and the ridicule from the 'friend' will undoubtedly make this trauma ten times worse. She would rather suffer in silence than share her pain with others.

"Oh hey, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, I don't know anything!" Seeing that Matilda had really become dangerous, Mary hurriedly waved her hand to show her innocence, "I just saw a little clue in your attitude...... You see, even I can see that Sir hasn't seen you for a long time, and I guess something must have happened that has left you alienated......"

Then, she looked at Matilda cautiously, "Of course, judging by his attitude, he still has no ill feelings towards you, and it seems that he has only alienated you because of some helpless factors?" ”

"Yes, something very unpleasant happened, and that's all we could be." Matilda struggled to restrain herself so that Mary would not see what was going on. "Please don't ask again, it doesn't mean anything to you, does it?"

"Yes, it doesn't mean much to me, but it doesn't mean much to you, don't you want to mend the relationship? If you want, put down your disgust for a while and work with me......" Mary's smile returned, "It's better than you have to be stronger......"

With that, she picked up the coffee cup again and drank it unhurriedly.

"It's a shame that you can say it so high-soundingly, obviously just for yourself, right?" Matilda sneered.

Although her attitude was still very bad, Mary knew very well that this was what she had agreed to her request.

"Thank you, Matilda. Yes, I don't want to be labeled as an incompetent, but I can't help it if you have to, it's just ...... What does this mean for you? Mary shook her head, then put the cup back down. Besides, you won't get nothing, at least I'll pass on my due gratitude. ”

"No, you better keep it for yourself, it doesn't mean much to me." Matilda casually refused. "Since you need this the most, wouldn't it be too heartbreaking for me to snatch some of it?"

Mary's perfect smile froze.

It was this seemingly casual taunt that stabbed her even more.

"Yes, you have everything, how can you value this little money?" After a moment, she smiled self-deprecatingly, "Still, I have something else to give back to you besides the little money you don't like." ”

"What do you mean?" Matilda was a little strange.

"Remember what we discussed?" The smile on Mary's face slowly turned solemn, "I ...... a while ago I had been at home to recuperate, but Fran had not been idle, and I had heard that she seemed to have gone out a few times, saying that she was going to the theatre. Well, it's a play, but I'm afraid it's not necessarily true, I don't believe it if she didn't do something in secret. ”

"Really?" Matilda frowned slightly.

After a moment of silence, she spoke again, "But even if there is a problem, so what? That's her freedom, and there's nothing we can do to limit it. ”

"I didn't want to restrict her, she is the sister of my husband, how dare I?" Mary sneered, as if with some sarcasm. "But even if we can't do it to her, we can always do it to someone else, right?"

Matilda's brow furrowed and tightened.

"If she wants to do some tricks, she must need a helper, and we just need to arrest this helper, can't we figure it all out? Miss Delion, your brother-in-law is an officer, right? There must be a lot of friends who can call it, so just ...... Let's come up with an idea, you can borrow a few people from your brother-in-law, and then arrest that unknown gentleman, right? I'm afraid I'll be able to figure it out. ”

Matilda's eyes widened.

"It's a crime." Matilda replied in a low voice. "Don't you understand?"

"yes, it's a crime." Mary sneered, "And then? Are you going to pull people out of the mud puddle without getting your hands dirty? ”

This slightly mocking sneer made Matilda speechless.

That's right, when it comes to breaking the law, can there be anything like those two lawless people? They didn't even blink an eye to commit murder and cover-up, and this kind of 'trivial' is nothing compared to it.

However, what made her even more uncomfortable was Mary's attitude.

This person wants me to do my dirty work, and then he stands by and watches coldly.

"Didn't you say that as a friend, you don't want to see Fran make mistakes again and again, and you don't want to see her hurt everyone? Then now you have a chance to prove your word. ”

When she had finished speaking, Mary looked at her in silence, as if she were trying to gauge what was on her mind.

"This matter is very serious, I can't make a decision lightly, even if you provoke me like this, it's useless." Matilda quickly regained her composure and replied indifferently, "Besides, if you really want to break the law, do you really think that you can be left alone?" ”

"No, I wouldn't think so......," Mary lowered her head and sighed softly, "Do you think that after all this time, after so much time by my side with my husband, I will have any respect for the law?" That's weird, Miss...... "R1152."
