Chapter 4 Return Gift

Soon after the indulgence of the carnival wore off, Charles soon woke up from his initial exhaustion, and after figuring out what he had just done, he turned his head a little, and found Lola still asleep.

Because of the merciless beating he had just made, her face was still slightly swollen, and there were tear stains in the corners of her eyes, and the clothes on her body had long been torn and messy. She still had bruises on her neck and arms, and even stains on her stomach, silently recounting the terrible treatment she had just suffered.

Am I going too far? The thought flashed through him.

He continued to look at the sleeping Lola, perhaps because she was still asleep, her usually calm face was now relaxed, slightly undulating from breathing, and her delicate face now looked quite cute.

It's pretty good when you don't speak, why do you have such a bad character? Charles sighed inwardly.

He cautiously stepped out of bed, then walked out of the room and back to where he had been.

Albert, Gaston and the others were still there, and when he reappeared, they looked at their ministers with admiration or fear.

"Charles, you're amazing! I didn't expect you to be so conservative and drag her away in front of us this time," Albert cried out with a slight exaggeration, "how does that woman feel?" ”

"Alright, don't talk about that, friend." Charles shook his head, then took a bottle of wine from the table next to him and raised his neck to pour it down.

After a large gulp of liquor fell into his stomach, his originally somewhat chaotic consciousness slowly returned to normal.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy!" He immediately sensed that there was something wrong with everyone's gaze on him, and immediately scolded loudly.

"We know you're not crazy, but what do you think we should do, Your Excellency?" Albert asked.

"I don't need you to do anything, you all keep it a secret from me, just pretend it didn't happen." Charles replied immediately.

"We can pretend it didn't happen, but can she? Is her dad okay? Albert didn't initiate it, but still asked. He has an extraordinary relationship with Charles, so he naturally doesn't want Charles to be affected by this, "Charles, you have to prepare early." ”

"It's okay, don't worry about me." Charles shook his head, "She wouldn't tell her father. ”

"You've done it so roughly, and she still hasn't sued her father?" Albert was a little surprised.

"I said it's okay, maybe she loves me very much?" Charles replied with a smile.

He didn't want to tell about Lola's murder, and because his sister was involved, he didn't even want others to think about that place, so he had to jokingly change the subject.

"Don't be stupid, how can that kind of woman fall in love with someone else?" Albert still didn't believe it, "You'd better prepare earlier, you don't have to be afraid of that baron by now, right?" Now that you are the minister of the empire, there are people who want to throw an olive branch to you, even if he can't do anything to you. ”

"I don't have to be afraid, but I still need them, just as they can use me." Charles smiled calmly, "Okay, you really don't have to worry about me, now you go and find me a dress." ”

This was originally a place of socializing, and there were many ways to have fun, and naturally there was no shortage of women's skirts, and soon someone else found him a skirt and underwear, and he took it and walked back to the room just now.

Lola was still asleep, so he gently closed the door, leaned over to the bed, and then reached out and stroked the other person's face. As soon as his hand touched, Lola slowly opened her eyes.

When she saw clearly who the person in front of her was, her vision suddenly changed from chaos to sharpness. The originally soft lines also became tight, and the expression was grim and resentful, and the tranquility of the previous one could no longer be seen.

Really, it could have been cute. Charles sighed inwardly again.

Lola soon became clear about her situation.

She raised her head slightly, looking at the mess on the bed and body, and then suddenly looked up at Charles, her eyes full of hatred.

"You...... You ......"

"Alright, don't look at me like that." Charles spread out his hand, then threw the dress in his hand to Lola's side, "Alright, put it on, the ones you wore are in tatters now." ”

Lola took the dress, but instead of putting it on immediately, she continued to look at Charles hatefully.

"Okay, sorry." Charles shrugged, then turned and walked out of the room.

After a while, when Soso's voice had stopped, Charles walked back in.

"I've already taken care of them, no one will mention this again, and they have all avoided it, just wait for you to leave directly, no one will pay attention to you anymore."

Lola still looked at him with hatred, as if she hadn't heard him.

"Well, I know you hate me......" Charles sighed.

"Hate you? No, I don't hate you. Lola suddenly shouted, interrupting him, "I just want to kill you, I want to strangle you little by little, repay you tenfold and hundredfold the pain you just made me, let you suffer in pain, make you wail!" ”

"You don't have to say it so seriously......" Charles smiled wryly.

"Serious? Who is more serious? You...... You raped me again, made me so miserable, and made me lose face in front of so many people! Lola cried out, "You've done all the humiliation that one man can do to another woman, you've done it to me, and you expect me to be kind to you......?" You shameless dog mongrel. ”

"Alright...... Charles sighed again, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged Lola, "You've said too much to threaten me, but what's the point?" The swear was to make me look good, but now you and I can't help it, and no matter how serious you are, it will look like a joke. In addition to venting my boring resentment, it only makes me wary...... Since you are a smart person, you should know that smart people only do what they do, hmm...... It's like when you killed your brother. ”

When she was hugged by Charles, Lola felt like she was electrocuted, and her whole body trembled from the discomfort, but no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't break free, so she became even more angry. "You...... Are you still threatening me with that? Do you really think you can do whatever you want with me if you grab a handle?! ”

She knew in her heart that the other party was not bad, and now that there was no way to deal with him, there was no point in saying more cruel words, and it would only attract shame and laughter for no reason, but the anger in her heart was difficult to suppress, and she could only vent it in this way.

In addition to anger, there was more fear in her heart, Charles de Treville had mastered her biggest and at the same time most unseen secret, and he had tasted the sweetness of this secret many times, what if he felt that he could continue to use this secret to control himself and continue to threaten?

In front of this powerful Imperial Chancellor, she found that she had little room to resist without her father's protection—as evidenced by the fact that he had a seizure in front of so many people today, and that no one could help her.

Are you going to go to hell because of this? Lola asked herself.

Then she made up her mind that she would rather destroy everyone together than let herself fall into such a miserable situation—she had worked so hard for so long to kill her own brother that she had not been a slave to anyone.

"No, it's not a trick, one thing is one thing, since I already received your payment last time, then I won't threaten you with that again." To her surprise, Charles shook his head and denied her doubts, "I told you before that I wouldn't mention that again, let alone threaten you, and it's still valid." And...... Well, I'm going to say sorry to you, I was really rude just now, I shouldn't have done this to you, at least I should have left you some good memories......"

His strange behavior made Lola feel even more strange, and Lola looked at him warily, trying to figure out what the man was thinking. However, at least the heart has been relieved a lot.

"I don't want to have any good memories with you, just let me go and let me go."

"Whether you want it or not, at least that's the case now, and we should look forward." Charles ignored the other party's request, and then rather shamelessly crossed over the topic, "I admit that I did have something wrong just now, even if you provoke me, but as a nobleman, I should still be polite to you." Since we don't mention the past anymore, this time I did something wrong, a big mistake, and I should not only apologize to you, but also find a way to compensate you. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Lola, of course, didn't believe that Charles would have such good intentions, and immediately asked rhetorically.

"Well, the origin of our dispute is actually a matter of commitment, and you think I didn't keep my promise. I admit that I didn't communicate with you beforehand, and that's really my fault, but please be assured that I still value my friendship with your father...... And there are no plans to change partners at all. Charles replied unhurriedly, "So rest assured, your family's superior position in the future railway industry is absolutely guaranteed, as long as you don't sever our friendship first, otherwise I will always consider your family's friendship as a priority." ”

"How can I trust you?" Lola asked rhetorically. "Don't you talk less often?"

"I do not count when I need to, but I don't break my promise when it is profitable." Charles replied in a low voice, "I need your father's help, and I have great respect for your father, whose abilities and vision I admire, and who I need his help in the future." He wanted to be president of the Banque de France, and I just wanted a president of the Banque de France as a friend...... So no matter what, I'm going to help your family - if he helps me, of course. ”

With Charles' explanation, Lola gradually believed his words. Indeed, he needed the help of his own family.

The pain in his body has gradually subsided, and the anger just now has slowly been suppressed into the depths of his heart.

On a messy bed, this pair of men and women hugged each other, and then spoke almost close to their faces, such a scene would be a little wrong if it seemed to ordinary people, but the expressions of these two people were very serious, but there was not much ambiguity.

"Who is the chairman of the federation this time?" Lola asked.

"Count Delion, he is the former Minister of Railways, he has prestige and is in this business, he should be able to convince the public." Charles replied immediately. "Well, of course, we'll have a pretentious election before the official appointment."

"This man...... Well, it's a good candidate, at least at the mercy of you. Lola nodded slightly, "Okay, I ask to be his deputy, whether it's called vice chairman or whatever, anyway, I want that position." If you agree, then I'll believe you. ”

"Okay...... I'll try for it. After a moment's hesitation, Charles nodded.

"So...... It's time for you to let me go, right? Lola sneered.

"Can't we have a goodbye kiss?" Charles smiled, then looked at Lola, "I don't like the fact that the two of us have all such dark memories, at least not personally. So, please leave some good memories for me, for us, for our two families, I swear I won't treat you like that in the future. ”

This is true, Charles found that he had been flattered since becoming a minister, so he was a little carried away, and the rough behavior just now was also a manifestation of this kind of complacency, he knew in his heart that he shouldn't be like this, not because he particularly pitied Lola, but because he needed to continue to move forward with the same cautious and calm attitude as before.

Lola was almost pressed to her face, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted to look away, but Charles didn't give her such a chance, grabbed her neck directly, and then suddenly leaned her face towards hers.

Lola's eyes widened as she watched as the other's face drew closer to her, and finally pressed it to her own face, and then her lips were covered.

Her tongue came in aggressively, hot as if on fire, and she snorted, then closed her eyes as if to enjoy it.

However, suddenly she opened her eyes again.

"Ahh Charles was in pain and let go of her body.

His tongue was bitten and bleeding.

"This is my return gift, Your Excellency."

Charles almost burst into tears in pain, but shrugged his shoulders in pain. "Well, at least you call me Your Excellency." (To be continued.) )
