"And then you got your wish, didn't you?"

Mary's rhetorical question caused Fran to stop laughing.

She frowned slightly, staring at the other party.

Mary, however, did not flinch from this gaze, and stared at her as well. Although they stood very close, the distance between them seemed to be several miles wide.

"I've always wondered why you are so clever and put yourself in such a dangerous situation, and do you have so much confidence in Lola? If she makes a mistake, won't you be at great risk too? Can't figure it out...... So I thought maybe you were being blackmailed by Lola. Mary said word for word, "But...... Later, I figured out that the reason why you dared to take such a big risk was because you were never afraid of failure in the first place, because you felt that even failure was in your favor! ”

Fran's heart tightened, and the feeling of being seen through made her even more uncomfortable.

"What stupid are you talking about?"

"Isn't that so? Do you still want to deceive me? Mary took a step closer, and her eyes seemed to glow with a terrifying light, "If you hadn't thought so, you wouldn't have spoken to me like you had just done before, and you would have come to me with friendship to keep me secret, and even begged me to spare your momentary foolishness." You are so cute and delicate, who would bear to let you never recover? At least I won't - you've been using this capital since you were a child. And how were you just now? You're deliberately angry with me, trying to provoke me to denounce you......"

Fran didn't answer. She never imagined that this friend would know her so well.

It is precisely because of this understanding that she has been a handy weapon since she was a child. It's completely useless for her right now.

"Well, it's not hard to guess why you're doing that." Mary looked at Fran, who was already visibly flustered. continued, "If the defendant sent it." Your life will be in danger, and at this time, in order to save your life, the husband will have to take you away - that's what you are hoping for, right? ”

Seeing that Fran didn't deny it, Mary frowned again, "But you're so sure, will Mr. leave a Qiē to take you out of here?" ”

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be nice to die?" After a moment of silence, Fran replied blandly.

"Taking such a risk for the sake of such a little hope. It's a shame that you dare to do it! After getting the real answer, Mary smiled bitterly with surprise, "I don't even know whether to make fun of you or admire you...... Well, at least I envy you. ”

"Envy you?"

"Yes, at least you can love someone with all your heart, even if it's risking your life. At least I can't do that. Mary lowered her gaze slightly, "Forget it, there's no point in saying such things now...... In a word. Your plan is to conspire with Lola first, and if you succeed, you will use her strength, and if you fail, you will simply use the most drastic method to fight to the death? ”

"Whatever you want." Fran replied nonchalantly, then. She raised her head slightly and looked at Mary with her strictest expression, "Mary." Now that you've guessed this, you should know how determined I am. So, as friends. I beg you...... Don't stop me, okay? ”

Before Mary could reply, she continued, "What's in your interest in getting involved in the two of us?" In order to bring justice to Morris, who is not related to him? You're not that kind of person, are you? Besides, even if you don't remember the years of friendship between us, please don't forget how I helped you back then......"

Mary's expression had been calm as she persuaded her, but only when she heard the last sentence twitched slightly, and a trace of pain flashed over her clearly.

"yes, you helped me, I always remember it." Mary reluctantly hid her pain under a smile, "Believe it or not, I've always been very grateful to you—even if this kindness has made me humble in front of you." Moreover, you are right, I am not such a good person, and I do not feel any sadness about the death of Maurice, and I have no intention of seeking any justice for him......"

Just as Fran was secretly happy at this answer, Mary's next words made her heart tense.

"So, can you answer me one more question?"

"What's the problem?" Fran asked warily, at this time, she no longer dared to underestimate this close friend.

"Where do you put me in your plan?" Mary asked in a low voice. "After all, you see, I'm not completely risk-free, am I? I'm your close friend, and I'm so familiar with Lola, I'm afraid others will suspect me, right? Especially after you have fled, if the baron is mad with rage, will he care about my justification and my life to be angry? ”

Fran didn't answer, and her blue pupils seemed to be suddenly covered with a gray mist.

"Did you not think about it at all, or did you think about it but didn't care at all?" Mary's voice was still as flat as if she were saying something that didn't concern her, "...... Let's just assume that you haven't thought of it, so I still want to ask you, what are you going to do with me if things have to get to the point where you have to flee? ”

"If the worst happens, I'...... I can also arrange for you to escape from this country as well. After a long pause, Fran replied abruptly, "But I don't think you should be at risk." ”

"Maybe not, but ...... It's never going to be the outcome I want to see. Mary replied in a low voice, "It would be sad if you died and I lost my friend; If you flee, I will lose the protection of the Tréville family, and I will be very sad as well. ”

"Then you can pray that Lola and I will be smooth, if that is the case, won't you be able to get what you want? You won't lose anything, but will continue to get as much help as we can. Fran smiled, "So." Now, you just pretend that nothing happened, okay? ”

"What do you mean. Tell me to pray for your and Lola's victory, and then wait for your bounty? Although the tone is calm. But a smile already appeared on Mary's face, "I already know so many things, isn't it safer to shut me up forever than to buy me?" ”

Fran wanted to say something, but Mary waved her hand to stop her, "I know you won't do it, but what about Lola?" She could even kill her brother, why would she care about my poor life? ”

"I will protect you and never put your life at risk." Fran hurriedly assured.

"yes. You will give me rewards and protection as long as I continue to obey you...... Continue to be what you call a housekeeper......" Mary didn't notice it herself, and her smile deepened, "is that so?" ”

"Needless to say, right?"

"Isn't that so?" Mary asked rhetorically.

Then, frowning slightly, she gave her own reply. "No, my dear friend, I've taken refuge in you long enough, and I think it's time for me to confront myself with what I want. I can earn it myself, and I don't need your bounty. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Yes, I can already face a qiē on my own, because I was given a chance." Mary bowed her head slightly. Regardless of the fact that he continued, "It is because I have so hard to get the hope that I have now, so I will never allow anyone to destroy this hope...... Not even you. Yes. Now, my friend. I will never let you destroy your brother's interests, because that is my interests. I'm not going to let you force him to flee, because he's going to stay here and fulfill his own ambitions with my help, while also letting me get what I want! ”

"Bastard!" Anger suddenly ignited in his heart, and then Fran subconsciously rebuked.

"What kind of gibberish is this!" The resistance from a friend that she had never seen before made Fran slightly angry in her heart, "Where did you get the courage to say that you and him have been tied together?" ”

"Surprised, right? How dare I speak to you like that...... Yes, it's a bastard to say such a thing to your benefactor, but ......" The smile on Mary's face slowly faded, and then she looked at Fran without flinching, "Am I the only bastard?" For the sake of your own love, you have never cared about anything, have you ever cared about Maurice's life? Have you ever cared about your grandfather's feelings? As for me...... Hehe, that's even less qualified to be expected.

What's more, you plan to force your brother to abandon the qiē he has built and run away with you in order to fulfill your most romantic girlhood dream! Have you ever thought about how much effort, effort, and risk he has taken to get to where he is now? If you don't know, then there's something to say, isn't it a bastard that you know you still have to do it? Do this in the name of love, use his love for you to force him to lose a qiē...... How much do you think you're a little higher than the bastard me? I'm afraid it's not necessarily any better, right? ”

Under Mary's interrogation, Fran was speechless for a while.

"It's just the worst-case scenario, even I don't want to leave here, so ...... So isn't it better for you to do nothing and give me peace of mind to get what I want? ”

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid that's not the best way for me." Mary replied solemnly. "I can't trust Lola, I don't trust you more than I trust myself - if you make things worse, then my hard-won hope will be in vain. So...... I came to tell you this today, just to sue you, no matter what your intentions, I will find a way to thwart you, and at the same time, I will never let you really force Mr. to take you away. ”

"Really? What do you mean by what you want to hope for from the beginning? Fran felt a little anxious, "Also, what qualifications do you have to say that, does it have anything to do with you?" ”

She really didn't understand this friend at all, and after discovering her and Lola's secret crimes, she neither denounced nor stood idly by, but chose an extremely strange path, as if ...... It's like...... It's like thinking about it completely from that person's point of view.

What the hell was she thinking?

The sudden panic in her heart made Fran determined to ask the question.

"It's my own business, please don't meddle, okay? Maybe you're not happy with the way I behave. But that's my way, if you don't want to denounce. Then please continue to be silent! Otherwise, would it do you any good to be forcibly involved in this matter? If you still have a bit of our friendship in your heart. Just follow my advice, or else...... Otherwise, I'm afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you by my side anymore......"

"If I don't listen to you, if I don't let you do stupid things, and if I don't stand by and watch you ruin my future, you won't give me the status of a close attendant anymore, will you?" Mary asked rhetorically, slightly sarcastically. "Well, you have such a dominant position, so you can naturally threaten me at will."

Fran didn't say anything more. Mary's mocking tone upset her, so she chose to acquiesce.

"But don't you understand? Since I have come to you today, it means that I have already thought about it...... So don't try to persuade me or threaten me anymore, because I've already made up my mind, so ...... So you know, what does this mean, we've known each other for so long, we've known each other for a long time. Mary looked at her friend's face. Then he smiled bitterly, "In addition, as compensation for asking you so many things today, I will sue you for one thing......"

A sense of foreboding. Suddenly came to Fran's heart.

She suddenly had a feeling in her heart that she was about to face a bottomless abyss.

"Just now you kept saying that I am not qualified to get involved in the affairs of you and your brother, actually...... Not so long ago, this statement was true. But it's no longer the same. "Without waiting for Fran to recover, the merciless blow finally followed." Because, I already have a close relationship with your brother now. Well...... Very intimate relationship. ”

Fran's eyes widened, as if she didn't understand what she was talking about.

"That's right, not long ago, I slept with your brother, although there may be many reasons for this, but at least this is a fact, an unchangeable fact, and it is precisely because of this that I dare not appear in front of you these days, for fear that you will see any clues...... But, in this state of affairs, I don't think there's any need to hide it from you. "So, you see what I mean, 'I'm not going to allow anyone to ruin that hope,' you see?" Now, I'm indeed connected to him, and I don't think there's anything you can do to get me away. ”

Although she said it with such certainty, Mary's heart was not so confident, and she was not sure what kind of Cheng Dù Charr liked her, but now she had to negotiate with the other party in the strongest tone and attitude, and could not show any backing in front of the other party.

However, she is indeed convinced that she has come to this point, and Charles will indeed not let her go lightly.

Fran's expression at this time is beyond words.

The blood pouring up from her chest made her face flush, but the blood in her brain seemed to be drained in an instant, leaving her mind blank. Driven by this anger, her face was already distorted uncontrollably.

She never imagined that she would be so betrayed by her friend - in silence, she actually climbed into her brother's bed.

The greater the anger is directed at another person.

Even if he slept with this bitch who didn't look as good as me, he wouldn't want to ...... me Why, why, why!

The indescribable sense of despair was accompanied by an incomparable anger, which seemed to ignite a flame in her heart that could burn for a while.

She only felt that her chest was so tight that she couldn't breathe, she cramped violently, opened her mouth and gasped loudly, and her whole body was shaking violently.

"You...... You ......" She raised her right hand with a slight tremble, pointed at Mary, as if she wanted to scold but couldn't make a sound, and finally lowered her head and covered her chest.

Seeing the other party look so lost, Mary couldn't help but have a trace of compassion in her heart, and secretly wondered if she needed to do this.

"Are you alright?" Concerned, she subconsciously approached Fran again.

Just then, Fran looked up again.

Her brilliant blonde hair had spread out, some of which had reached her forehead, covering her eyes, and between the gaps in those hairs, there was a look of hatred in her beautiful blue eyes that would send extreme chills down the spine of anyone.

Not good!

The sense of crisis that surged from the bottom of her heart made Mary subconsciously retreat.

At that moment, Fran's right hand had picked up the candlestick by the wall and swept it towards her in a frenzy. "Die, bastard!"

Mary only felt the tip of the candlestick blow against her face with a strong gust of wind, and then felt a sudden hot pain on her face.

My face, scratched?

"Yikes!"

The supreme horror made her scream, and then subconsciously covered her face with her hands.

For a woman her age, disfigurement is something more terrifying than death.

With warm blood at her fingertips, Mary's heart sank to the bottom.

No way...... No way......

She groaned inwardly.

But soon, she felt the thin wound on her face.

Luckily, it's just a slight scratch and it can heal.

She finally came to her senses.

Then she looked back at Fran, who was panting violently on the bed, the blow she had just delivered in a rage that had apparently exhausted her strength, so much so that her face had lost its color.

Now I don't owe you anything.

Looking at the still beautiful face, Mary couldn't help but shed a tear.

"But I still love you." She whispered to herself. (To be continued......) R1292
