The day before Thanksgiving, Elizabeth. Miss Daubers finally arrives in San Diego. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was half a month later than the scheduled date, and she didn't inform Rachel beforehand. So Rachel was of course half dead in a hurry during this time, but now, now that her cousin had arrived safely, she was relieved.

Of course, questions must be asked - after the necessary pleasantries. "Elizabeth, where have you gone? Why is it half a month late? And there was not even a single message. ”

"I went to San Francisco first and laid flowers in the cemetery for Uncle James and Aunt Mary...... Speaking of which, Rachel," Miss Daubers asked Rachel, "your neighbors say you left without attending your uncle's funeral. Is that the case? ”

Rachel didn't want to bring it up. She felt uncomfortable, but nodded. "Yes."

"How can you do that?" Miss Daubers looked at her cousin reproachfully, "Rachel, how could you not attend your own father's funeral?" ”

"He's not a good father."

"What?"

"Elizabeth, there are some very bad things that you don't know." Rachel sighed a little sadly.

As the vast majority of people react when they hear similar words, Elizabeth. Daubers asked, "Rachel, what's going on?" ”

Do you want to tell her the truth of the matter? Rachel shook his head. Anyway, even if I still had to tell her everything in the end, now was not the time. "I'll tell you what's going on when I have time, Elizabeth, but now is not the time."

She motioned for the guard behind her to lift Elizabeth's luggage. "Now, let's go back to where I live."

Rachel's residence was a four-story building that was formerly a hotel, and Qin Lang, O'Connor, Duncan, and Yi Shui also lived here. They are not very rich now, and they can't afford to buy a luxurious estate, let alone a luxury estate for everyone. But compared to the old house in San Francisco, she is very satisfied with the living environment now.

Elizabeth was satisfied, but she was startled by the two heavily armed guards standing at the door of the building. "Rachel, where exactly do you live? Barracks? ”

But the two guards didn't look like soldiers at all. Their black uniforms did not resemble military uniforms at all—at least not like anything she had ever seen—and a black hood completely enclosed their heads, leaving only two eyes and a mouth visible.

To the point of view of a person living in the late twentieth century or early twenty-first century, the two guards look like either SWAT or terrorists. Of course, this is also true - Qin Lang's first combat suit for the Umbrella mercenaries is a mix of SWAT and terrorist outfits.

For people living in the late nineteenth century, such an outfit was indeed a bit intimidating.

Rachel had been scared before, but now she was used to having people in this attire around her, so she was smiling. "Don't worry, Elizabeth, they're the company's guards."

"The company's guards?" Elizabeth's doubts were not dispelled, but strengthened, "Rachel, what exactly does your company do?" ”

Rachel's telegram to her only mentions that he is now the manager of a company, but does not mention the scope of the Big Viper Weapons or Umbrella Security Services. So Elizabeth always thought that the company her cousin worked for was a department store or a clothing company or something, and she never thought it would be an arms and mercenary company.

Now, of course, she knows. "Manufacture of weapons and ammunition." Rachel said in a deliberately understated tone.

But Elizabeth was still frightened by her. "Making weapons and ammunition?" She exclaimed, "Rachel, you actually started an arms company?" "The news was so shocking that if the relatives knew that the cute little Rachel was in the arms business, they would all faint.

"Rachel, how did you come up with the idea of getting into the arms business?" She decided to get things straight.

And this is another thing that makes Rachel feel sad. "It wasn't my idea, and I'm just one of the shareholders of the company."

"But at least you're involved, right?" Elizabeth asked, "Why?" ”

"It's going to be a long time to talk about it...... Rachel didn't want to tell her what had happened now, but Elizabeth's attitude made it difficult for her to excuse herself. Just when she was feeling embarrassed, Rachel saw a couple of guys who could help her.

"You three, where are you going?" She suddenly shouted.

He stopped O'Connor, Duncan, and Yi Shui. They were about to sneak out the door when Rachel spotted and stopped them, leaving them embarrassed and depressed. And all three of them knew very well that what they were going to do, she would definitely not agree.

Never tell the truth.

They exchanged colors, and Duncan was pushed out to answer questions. "Rachel, we're going to go out on the street and buy something."

"Really?" Rachel sneered. She didn't believe Duncan's explanations at all, and in some respects his credibility was low—and O'Connor, of course. But luckily Yishui is here. "Yi Shui, answer my question, what are you doing out there?"

"This ......" Yi Shui looked at O'Connor and Duncan, but they were also full of helplessness.

Procrastinating for time? But Rachel didn't have that much patience. "Yi Shui, you'd better tell the truth, otherwise I'll hire seven more tutors for you." First a threat, then a urge. "Say it quickly."

Yi Shui's face had turned pale - if he hired seven more tutors, how much free time would he have left every day? "We're going to go out for dinner." He's telling the truth, and he's trying to clear himself. "It was Duncan's idea."

"Why? I have said a long time ago that in order to welcome Elizabeth, everyone must get together for dinner today. Why do you still want to go out? "Rachel is angry." Duncan, won't you even grant me such a small request? Sean, why can't you stop Duncan and follow him? And you, Yi Shui-"

"Rachel." Elizabeth suddenly stopped her cousin, "Look at you, you don't look like a lady at all." ”

She had no idea how her uncle and Rachel's school were educating her - perhaps because she had been manager of an arms company for too long, but Rachel was now acting completely out of the way high society expected a lady. "You won't be able to get married like this." There was a hint of warning in Elizabeth's voice.

Rachel certainly knows what kind of education her cousin has received since she was a child, and what kind of requirements she will use to evaluate and discipline others. She didn't want to argue with her, so she sighed. "I'll take note, Elizabeth."

"I'll keep an eye on your behavior." Elizabeth certainly had some knowledge of her cousin's character. She gave Rachel a warning look, then pointed to the three men and asked, "Won't you introduce me to these three gentlemen, Rachel?" ”

"Of course." Rachel is still angry with the three guys, so the introduction is simple, "Sean. O'Connor, Duncan. Sandy, and this idiot, easy water. She shrugged, "They're all shareholders in the company. Sean is also the manager of Umbrella. ”

“Umbrella？ Selling umbrellas? That's pretty much the first reaction anyone would have when they hear Umbrella.

Rachel and the three guys all laughed. This also eased the atmosphere in the hall. After laughing for a while, Rachel explained to his inexplicable cousin, "Umbrella doesn't sell umbrellas, Elizabeth, it's a security company." The guards you just saw were all Umbrella employees. ”

Elizabeth was still confused. "Then why such a strange name?"

"This was all Qin Lang's idea," Rachel explained, "He's the boss of the company......" Speaking of Qin Lang, she suddenly remembered that she didn't know if this guy who had been messing around with politicians all day was at home now. "Sean, has Qin come back?"

"Rachel, you have to know, that's why I suggested going out for dinner." Duncan replied with a sad face, "Qin Lang is in the kitchen." ”

"What do you mean—"

"He's going to make us dinner with his 'mystery meat' again."
