The cousin's casual question suddenly caused a great wave in Charles's heart. Although he hadn't heard this name a few times, he was so impressed that he never forgot it.

"Ezreal Walter? What's going on? The smile on Charles' face suddenly disappeared, "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

"Looks like you really know this guy, huh?" Judging by Charles' reaction, Philip concluded that he had not guessed wrong, "No wonder...... I'm like, how could my dad do such a thing for no reason. ”

"Dude, it's not good for you to talk halfway like this, and to be honest, I don't understand what you're talking about." Charles patted Philip on the shoulder again, "Just tell me the truth, okay?" What the hell is wrong with this person? ”

At this time, Philip sensed that something was wrong with Charles's attitude, and the smile on his face slowly disappeared.

"Well, it's not true, it's just that my dad recently got a secretary, and that's the man. As you know, our family doesn't hire people from unknown sources, but the strange thing is that our family has never been in contact with this person in the past...... So I wondered, did you recommend it...... Charles, is that so? ”

"Of course not." Charles blurted out. "I do know, but I've never recommended this person to anyone."

Although he pretended to be very calm on the surface, Charles's mood at the moment was quite uncalm.

Ezreal Walter, how the hell did this young man get hooked up with the Duke of Treville's family? And what did his cousin think? He was in deep doubt.

The way he looked when I met this young man before, and his casual attitude when I talked to him. Gradually, it surged into Charles's heart, which also made his heart feel a little uncomfortable.

From before, he felt that this person seemed to be very familiar with the situation of his family, but he didn't expect to be driven away by himself. Now this man actually ran directly to his cousin's side as an errand - what did he want to do?

Although the Duke of Treville's family can pay the people they hire very highly, and it is indeed a job worth fighting for for the average person, but from the situation that Charles has investigated before, this young man is not short of money. So, why did he have to come here to be some secretary?

No matter how he thought about it, Charles felt that this man had some ill intentions.

"Not what you recommended?" At this point, his cousin spoke. His face was full of curiosity, "That's weird...... How could Dad suddenly do such a clueless thing? That's right...... Charles, what kind of person is that man? Is it very strict and old-fashioned? I listened to my dad. He's going to let this Ezreal stay by my side and supervise me, and if it's a serious one, then I'm in trouble......"

"I don't know, but I don't have very many dealings with him. Man. Charles maintained his composure. "Anyway, you're saying that this man named Ezreal Walter is now employed by your father, and is ready to be sent to you?" ”

"That's it, that's right." Philip blinked, "When you were at the prom, my dad invited him over......

"What!" Charles' eyes widened slightly.

He didn't expect it. His cousin had done so many strange things in secret.

It turned out that at the moment when he was most proud. There was actually a pair of eyes next to him, looking at himself coldly. Maybe even secretly laughing at yourself who doesn't know anything.

Charles thought about it, and suddenly felt a slight chill.

Along with this chill was an indescribable anger.

Didn't I tell him personally, stop pestering our family and stay away from us? Why do you have to come up so unknowingly? Why can't it just disappear quietly? Is this person looking down on me? Or is there some dangerous attempt in the shadows?

It took a moment for Charles to force his anger back down.

"Oh, I see...... I don't understand what your dad is thinking. Even he didn't feel it himself, and there was already an inexplicable chill in his tone, "By the way, you said that he was also present at the dance that day?" ”

"That's right." Philip nodded.

"So, did he go to my sister?" Charles lowered his voice and asked, "I was busy with Charlotte, but I didn't pay attention to my sister or him. Didn't you meet her that night? ”

"I don't know...... After we met, we couldn't say a few words, and I felt too bored, so I took my leave from her side and went to talk to other girls. Philip smiled a little sheepishly, "As for what happened to her after that, I don't know." Besides, everyone was wearing masks when the dance started, and I don't know who was who......"

"yes, I see." Charles nodded slightly, his face calm.

Then, he patted Philip on the shoulder again, "Dude, listen to your father's words, it's time to take care of yourself, even if you don't want to marry my sister, at your age, you will have to get married sooner or later?" I don't blame him for finding you a secretary to keep an eye on you......"

Under this kind of entertainment-style scene, how much cold killing intent is hidden, of course, no one can see it.

"Hey, why did you even come to tell me these big truths? It's like my dad and Charlotte! Can't we just say something light? Philip shrugged his shoulders regretfully, "Okay, brother, I know what you said, I'll be serious......"

He was submissive, but there was clearly little sincerity in his words, and it seemed that he still wanted to continue to have fun as before—but Charles didn't care about it.

His real concern was, who was this young man named Ezreal Walter, and what did it have to do with his own family?

There was nothing to talk about, so after a few more hasty conversations, Charles and Philip said goodbye in a friendly manner. Then, he walked out of the room and happened to run into Charlotte in the hallway.

"Charles, where were you just now?" As soon as she saw Charles, Charlotte walked up to him, "I've been looking for you for a while!" ”

"Nothing, just a little chat with Philip." Charles replied calmly.

"Well, that Philip guy won't be serious with you, don't worry about him." Charlotte directly made a negative judgment on her brother, and then looked at Charles with concern, "Charles, it's not early, why don't you go and take a break?" ”

"Let's rest later, I have something I want to talk to your dad about." Charles's tone was still calm and terrifying, "Something important. ”

"What's wrong? Shire? Charlotte looked at Charles, her face full of surprise, "Suddenly so angry, why did Dad provoke you again?" ”

Although Charles was calm on the surface, as someone who had been with him for almost twenty years, Charlotte could certainly see the turbulence contained in Charles's calm.

"Didn't we talk about it just now?" Seeing Charles' expression like this, Charlotte panicked slightly, because she couldn't understand why Charles was suddenly so angry, "Why is this all of a sudden?" Did Dad inadvertently do something wrong? Charles, don't do that, I'll talk about him later......"

Charlotte's continuous questioning made Charles gradually recover from his anger.

She was now a little dazed, her eyes full of doubt and panic, obviously afraid that her future husband and father would suddenly have some big conflict, so that she would be too embarrassed.

I can't scare her, what does this have to do with her. Charles thought to himself.

With this thought, he slowly raised his hand and stroked Charlotte's slightly red cheek.

"Nothing, I just have something I want to ask him. Don't worry, it's not a big deal, I didn't have any conflicts with your family, and I won't have any conflicts for you. ”

"Is that so?" Seeing Charles say this, Charlotte was finally relieved, but she was still a little uneasy, for fear that the two of them would really quarrel later. "Then I'll take you to see Dad, if there is anything you can ask him, if he refuses to answer honestly, I'll talk about him!"

Seeing that Charlotte insisted on going with Charles, Charles thought about it and stopped insisting.

In this way, Charlotte led Charles all the way to her father's bedroom door, and then she raised her hand and knocked loudly at the door.

"Who?" A moment after the knock on the door, the voice of the little Duke of Trevil came from inside, obviously a little upset by the disturbance.

"It's me, Daddy." Charlotte replied directly.

"I knew it was you, Charlotte...... Who else would knock on my door like that......" The little duke's tone was tinged with the helplessness peculiar to a father who spoiled his daughter, "I can hear you even if you don't knock like that!" ”

"Alright, Dad, leave this alone, hurry up and open the door." Charlotte ignored her father's complaints, "Charles and I have something to look for you." ”

"What? The Shire are there too? Does he have something to ask me for? The voice inside became a little startled, and footsteps rang out, "Alright, you guys come in." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the bedroom door opened. The middle-aged man looked at his daughter and prospective son-in-law who suddenly broke in with a curious gaze. "Why are you two running here so aggressively? Want to ask your dad for money? ”

"A very important thing, much more important than money, sir." Charles nodded at him, then pulled Charlotte and walked straight inside.

Charlotte gestured to her dad and said "he's angry, be careful."

"Hey, young people now......" The middle-aged man had to shake his head and sigh. (To be continued!)
