29 Quinn
"That's what it was just like that. ”
This is the rest room of the clergy, with the Holy Book on the table, the scarf embroidered with the cross hanging on the coat rack, and the unfinished tea on the coffee table. Mrs. Quinn gave her a casual look and sat down on the couch.
"Mr. Green?" Zach hadn't been to the room, and looked around casually, "It's nothing, Grande did his commission, just say hello." Then he sat down across from Mrs. Quinn.
Mrs. Quinn looked at Zach, "Request?" pouted, "I didn't hear of any commissions from the Southside. ”
This is a dangerous topic. Will Zach be afraid?
"It's normal that I haven't heard of it. Zach replied casually with a smile, "It was introduced by Mrs. Donna, well, it seems that Mrs. Donna thought that Grande was back to her old business and acted as an introducer." When Mr. Green came to Grande, I was amazed, and asked old Hank for a great deal of advice. ”
Truth.
"That's it. Mrs. Quinn looked at Zack's expression, knowing that the owner of this funeral home would not continue to advance this topic, Grande's old business, everyone knew in their hearts, it would not be good for anyone to continue to ask, "Forget it, I'm not interested." What happened to Donna? I thought you had a great time working together. ”
"It's a pleasure, don't you see it, ma'am?" Zach laughed and shook his head, "It's for someone else." ”
Mrs. Quinn pursed her lips, her wrinkled lips making the action obvious, and thought for a moment, "Is it to find a reason why the funeral has dragged on for so long?" and "I care too much about whether my husband's funeral is perfect?" ”
"Hehe, Mrs. Quinn, you're naturally bored, because this is the Southern District. Zach laughed and explained, "Lady Donna cares about what the people of the South Side think the same way you care about the people of the West End." Status dictates. ”
"How can the South and West Sides be ......put together," the instinctive retort, only halfway through, Mrs. Quinn glanced at Zack, understood what he meant, withdrew her gaze and shook her head, "She doesn't have to care. I have already arranged for her, and I will take her to live in the West District in the future, and I don't care what the people in the South District think. ”
Zach was silent for a moment, "Well, then I guess Lady Donna has already done the matter of delaying the funeral and buying time." ”
"Yes. Mrs. Quinn didn't seem to be ready to elaborate, "What I talked to you about last time...... There's nothing you need to know, everything is taken care of. ”(XXV。 15)
"Just one question. Zach raised a finger, "You know, if you want to know, these walls can't block anything at all, and when the funeral process begins, I'll hear it." But I'm not going to be involved in the funeral later, so I'll ask first, so I'll satisfy my curiosity. ”
Mrs. Quinn glanced at Zach, a woman who knew that the person sitting in front of her was a vampire. Mrs. Quininn's attitude is textbook and worth emulating. "Just ask. ”
"Has the inheritance of Donna's five children been removed?"
Mrs. Quinn frowned at Zach and gave a modest nod.
Zach shrugged his shoulders and shook his head in disappointment.
"Why would you be this reaction. It was Mrs. Quinn, who was puzzled, and she observed Zach's expression, "I haven't wondered how you guessed this result. Where did that disappointment come from?"
Where did it come from? From the fact that history has been changed, some people's births have to be faked, some people have lost the right to go home, and some things have only dragged on for half a month. And then it happens as usual. Disappointed.
But of course, Zach wouldn't say that, "It's not disappointment, it's emotion, the last time you came with Lady Donna to Grande and said that ridiculous commission (XXV, 15), I thought what the final outcome would be." Zach thought to himself, it was a complete excuse to delegate a little bit of time, "I think this should be the worst outcome, well, Donna's five children are adopted, which is easy to take advantage of." Of course, Zach is just talking about what he knows now, weaving it into a way that makes sense.
"Ridiculous?" said Mrs. Quinn, shaking her head, "though I came to see you with that commission, to save my life...... Stuff. "Vampire blood," but we're telling the truth, and several of Donna's kids are indeed using connections to inquire about what's in the transport. The delay in the funeral has made them vigilant and wants to find something that can be used as bargaining chips again, threatening me, Quinn. ”
Hearing the disdain in his words, Zach smiled and waved his hand, "These are not important now, if you lose your inheritance, the document you and Mrs. Donna said will not reach the hands of those caring people." Well, my curiosity was satisfied. ”
Mrs. Quinn pursed her lips, although she looked helpless that she didn't know what Zack was thinking, but she should be satisfied with the status quo, and no one could communicate with a vampire so frankly.
"Then why did you make a point of confirming that I would be here today? Mrs. Quinn opened the conversation to the point.
It needs to be explained. As a funeral home in charge of funerals, it is one of the responsibilities to confirm the attendance of guests before the funeral, just like confirming reservations. Louise was in the basement, and the job was in the hands of the rest of Grande, and after dinner yesterday, Ink and Danny were constantly making confirmation calls to the half hundred guests at the funeral now.
Zach's only personal call was from Quinn Manor.
After receiving a call from Zach himself, Mrs. Quinn knew that the vampire had something to say. So here it is.
"I know you're going to have dinner at Smith Manor tonight. "Zach is good at opening with this kind of off-topic, and we should be used to it, and the topic will be inserted into the main topic in a special way.
"You're also very well-informed. Mrs. Quinn pursed her lips and took a deep breath, as if the mention of the banquet made the old woman at the top of the West End feel troublesome, "Yes, Smith's niece has passed the junior high school course directly, and it is a celebratory banquet. Hum. Mrs. Quinn shook her head, full of disdain, "It's just that people who have been trying to suppress it, but can't suppress it, can only give a chance to play, and it will be a boring occasion." ”
Mrs. Quinn said something very interesting. The one who has always wanted to suppress it, but has not suppressed it, is of course the Reimer trio, the returning sister, with a husband and stepdaughter who came out of nowhere. Didn't all three of them notice it themselves, since they came to Barton. Haven't been to a social event yet.
And let's think about it from Smith's point of view, Mrs. Donna Sr. delays the funeral, and she needs to perform a scene to 'explain' to the people of the same status around her, how can Smith 'explain' - their sister who let go out to travel around the Federation bring back two outsiders?
Celebration feast, celebration of Eve passing the middle school course? Well, that's a good excuse. It's so much better than 'Look! My sister is married to a super ugly guy and has a super beautiful stepdaughter by the way'.
Zach raised an eyebrow, "If I told you that Smith's niece is, Eve Remer, the leader of the Thirteen Vampire Clans and the Rammer Clan, Smith's sister, Lydia, who is also a member of Remer. 'Valmina' was made by the sister of the Smith family in the middle of the Federation, and her husband, Flender, was naturally also Remer. Are you still bored?"
Mrs. Quinn opened her mouth, then closed it, not wanting to speak.
"I know it's going to take time to digest. Zach smiled and looked at Mrs. Quinn. "But time is not on your hands, you need to make some decisions as soon as possible. ”
Mrs. Quinn probably didn't like to hear that. Tighten the face and deepen the wrinkles all over the skin. Understandably, Mrs. Quinn is an old woman, and time is never her advantage, "what does it mean, what decides." ”
"Yes. Zach didn't mean to answer directly. "I don't want to give the impression that I'm pushing you to make any decisions, we all know what the last time I did it, what the result was. ”
Mrs. Quinn was a little upset, "You have to mention that Herman luncheon. 'Valmina' and Boysen's business. ”
Be. In front of Smith, Zach clearly informed Mrs. Quinn that the incident that Pop had been prevented from opening again, but Mrs. Quinn pushed Zack and Smith away with a non-caring attitude, refused to question Pop at the moment, and finally gave Boyson the opportunity to settle in Quinn Manor.
Zach put on an understanding look, "Don't mention it." This time, I will only speak the facts, madam, you judge for yourself. ”
The corners of Lady Quinne's mouth twitched, and she turned her head sideways.
This is a typical reluctant gesture, but the problem with this typical posture is that it turns its ear towards the person speaking.
"Yesterday, after Eve's examination was passed, his 'father' Flender was so happy that he asked Smith for a celebratory dinner. As you say, 'I can't hold it down,' and Smith agreed. Then Flender, after discussing with his wife, Lydia, went, and in Lydia's mind, who had been away from Barton for many years, the West End usually held banquets with the contractor to negotiate the details......"
Zach's 'facts' are somewhat detached and trivial, trivial to the point where Mrs. Quin is even more impatient. Mrs. Quinn turned her head and opened her mouth.
"Lady Sheila. Zach raised his finger to stop, "Madame, you should be familiar with it, she is a supplier of materials to the West End, well, her other identity, not the point, I won't mention it here." We need to pay attention to the fact that Flender's offer to cooperate was rejected, and the lady of Sheila refused to host the banquet business of the Smith family for ...... reasons"
Mrs. Quinn's face began to be gloomy, a must.
“...... It was Mrs. Sheila who had just experienced a vicious act of business competition, and it was said that ...... "it was 'supposed' that Zach was shameless enough," and it was a guest at Mrs. Quinn's house who robbed her of her business in the supply of banquet supplies. And because the person who initiated and successfully completed the malicious competition was a guest of the Quinn family, Lady Sheila gave up the confrontation and asked Flender to find the other party. ”
Zach paused for a moment, to switch back from this ridiculous withdrawal from the previous statement, "Of course, Flender didn't go to Boyson. Because he was Remer, how could he possibly satisfy a plagiarist who copied their 'Valmina' and take the initiative to find Boysen. ”
Mrs. Quinn's eyes widened suddenly, staring at Zack, "I see, that's the case!
"That's it. Zach nodded, "Smith's sister has returned, but she hasn't appeared in any formal social situations, except for taking her stepdaughter Eve and accompanying Capler to the nursery to help." Smith wasn't ready for a new family that would admit his sister in social relationships, so, as you say, pressed. ”
Mrs. Quinn stared at Zach without malice, this was the tacit understanding of the unity of the two people's thinking, she finished Zack's words, "But it can't be pressed forever, Smith finally wants to let his sister and her husband, and stepdaughter step into the social circle of the West End." And in the West End, such a way of debuting, only, is a boring banquet. ”
Zach continued to nod, "So your guest, Boyson, seized the banquet for the sake of the moment, and at the same time that he was going to make contact with Reimer as a member of Smith's West End stage. ”
The corner of Mrs. Quinn's eyes twitched, "No!" Retort?" Lydia and Eve go to the North End every day, and Boyson has the opportunity to contact Ray, and Reimer ......" is probably not familiar with the new vocabulary that Zach utters.
"Nope. Zach also retorted directly, "He didn't dare." "Don't question it, I have very accurate information that he wouldn't dare." "Intelligence, Kraken, do you think that Yuehua has obtained all the rights of Eve's magic, and let Zach chat with the Kraken, Riley, and Flender to talk about Barton's weather!
Zach continued, "I thought you already knew Boyson's character well, ma'am. He didn't dare to face Smith, so he planted 'Valmina' on Poch, and used Quinn's relationship with Smith as a threat to force you to accept him. "And let's not forget what James told Zach when he got Ms. West's manuscript.
"Do you think he has the courage to face the real maker of 'Valmina', huh? He needed to reach out to Reimer in a place where ordinary but high-ranking people gathered, where countless human shields could provide him with a sense of security. Zach's gaze tilted to the side, not trying to hide the mockery, "Just like he did with me (Herman's luncheon), the banquet." ”
Boyson, it seems, is really an unimaginative guy. At Herman's luncheon, remember, he was the bartender, and it was Zach who didn't dare tear his little waiter in front of a crowd of Patton people at the center of power. It's advanced, it's a contractor, wait, isn't it?
"Tonight's Smith banquet is not for him. Mrs. Quinn said so.
"Of course not. Zach curled the corners of his mouth, "Even if he wanted to, it wouldn't be possible." His employees defected. ”
Employee...... Oh, Sirens. (To be continued.) )
