"I remember you saying that to me......" Feng Bujue watched Barton repeat, "you said, 'When I was younger, I also had a bright future.'" But...... You don't say a word about the details of the 'future'. Instead, you describe your experience in prison vividly. He turned around and continued pacing, "I was a little confused...... It stands to reason that people are always more willing to bring up those glorious and beautiful memories, but you ...... But he bypassed it when he was about to talk about it. ”

Brother Jue shook the fax paper in his hand and continued: "And after getting this, I will understand everything." It's not that you don't want to say it, but you can't say it. He paused, "The bright future of your youth is closely related to your father. ”

Feng Bujue turned to face the crowd and said as he walked: "When Mr. Barton was seven years old, his mother committed suicide due to depression. I think...... If the lady had survived for a few more years, she might have become the second mistress of the house, and John would have rightfully taken his father's surname.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in this world.

We can imagine what happened to Ms. Barton...... She waited for her beloved man to give her a name year after year, but the other party had no intention of divorcing, and she had a second child with her wife; When she took her son to enrol in school, he asked her, 'Why are the other classmates accompanied by a father and a mother?' She couldn't answer; She couldn't even explain to her son why she had her last name.

But she doesn't have the ability to leave that man to live alone, she is just a lowly junior, and all she can do is wait, cry, and make a silent ** in the depths of her heart.

Therefore, in that winter, she chose to end her life as a way to gain liberation and take a place in that man's heart forever. ”

Colston, who sat on the chair by the wall, covered his face with his hands and buried his proud head deeply.

Later, the guilt-ridden father sent his illegitimate son to a boarding school abroad. Feng Bujue continued, "Let this child stay away from him, and provide for him like a mother."

This child grew up day by day, he learned to be self-reliant very early, and he was excellent in all aspects, with a xìng personality that was far more mature than his peers, but ...... In his heart, there is always hatred.

He did not thank his father for giving him a qiē, in his opinion, these were deserved, and his mother had exchanged her life for them. In the end, his father only wanted to atone for his sins with money, but did not pay for his family affection.

So, at an appropriate age, the rebellion in the bones of young Patton finally broke out. A highly educated, good-looking, promising young man becomes a thief. ”

Feng Bujue pointed his palm upwards and pointed at Barton, "Everyone, pay attention to my word-thief." He pouted, "though Mr. Barton himself told me that he was a 'thief who slipped through the door and picked the locks,' and at the age of thirty 'spent two years in prison in Pendonville...... But according to the file in my possession, he is not a second- or third-rate thief, but one of those who is worthy of the rank of Eleven Arhat (by Lewis. Miles Stone made a film in 1960 by Steven. Soderbergh also had a remake of the same name in 2001). ”

"Thanks for the compliment." Barton replied coldly.

"You're welcome." Feng Bujue looked at Barton, replied quite naturally, and continued, "As for the rìzi you are in prison...... It's not two years, it's ten, it's a whole decade. "You were in prison in your twenties, you didn't finish your sentence until eight years ago, you have no job, you don't have friends, and your father knows this, and as your only relative in this world, he took you in." But his legitimate sons and daughters were all adults, and he couldn't have brought home an unknown person and said, 'Hey! Come and meet your half-brother, who has just come out of prison.'"

So...... Your identity is to become the gardener here. ”

When Feng Bujue said this, he happened to walk to the window, and he stopped and was silent for a while, as if to leave a time for everyone behind him to think.

"The moon is really beautiful tonight." After a while, Feng Bujue spoke again, looked at the night sky outside the window and sighed.

The other people in the restaurant were not in the mood to admire the moon, they all had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they didn't know how to deal with these sudden changes.

"So...... Let's talk about this will. Feng Bujue turned around, "As I said, I've already seen it, and it's precisely because of that I'm basically convinced...... Dennis is not Colston's son. ”

"Isn't Dennis' name on that will?" Schofield asked, following Jue's train of thought.

"Of course." Feng Bu pointed to Colston by the wall, "Mr. Lovecraft has always been kind to his relatives. For example, Master Jack and Miss Nancy, no matter what their life choices are, Lord Colston supports them as much as possible, never stingy with money and patience. He tilted his head, "If Jack had been my son, he would have starved to death in his first year of 'chasing his dreams.'" ”

"Hey!" Jack yelled unhappily.

"Hehe......" Feng Bujue smiled, "but...... What does this old man do to the others? He turned to Henderson again, "Is it just a coincidence that the man who had an affair with his wife, who was in his late teens, was still working as his servant, and even engaged in heavy body labor?" Dennis's name is not on the will, could it be that he forgot to write it? ”

"You...... You know ......" Nancy immediately understood, and immediately looked at her father in surprise.

"Yes, I always knew that." Colston replied in a hoarse voice, "I found out soon after Dennis was born, but I never told his mother, or Henderson, about it......"

Deeply remorseful, Henderson spent the rest of his life atoning for his sins, and even though his body was no longer up to the job of a housekeeper, he still refused to retire. He just wanted to be in this villa...... In the place where the lady and her son lived, they worked until the oil ran out. "Colston's dignity has been trampled on, and he can't let go of it, so he doesn't mean to stop Henderson." ”

"Whew......" Brother Jue let out a long breath, "After reading the will, I understood why Henderson fainted when he saw the body. Because...... It was his son who died. ”

"I'm sorry, Henderson." Barton then turned his head and said to Henderson, "I have nothing to do with you, but I have to." ”

Henderson didn't respond, just sat silently at the table, his face still pale as paper.

"Yes, you have to." Feng Bujue took over and said, "Because this afternoon, you heard Colston and Dennis talking in the room on the second floor. He walked back to the table and stuffed everything back into the paper bag, "You don't want to stand in the hallway and eavesdrop on the door, it's too easy to be discovered." So, you go to the utility room and get scissors and a ladder, go outside, and climb to a big tree closest to that room to eavesdrop. That way, even if someone sees you, you can immediately pretend to be doing the pruning work. ”

Brother Jue picked up the last bit of red wine on the table and poured it all into the goblet, "However, the height that the ladder can reach, or where ordinary people can climb, is still quite far from the window on the second floor. Other words...... Even if an ordinary person climbed a tree, he couldn't hear the conversation in that room clearly. Unless ......"

"Unless it's someone with special skills." Schofield replied that he had also seen Patton's file and knew a little about his skills.

"You climbed to the top of a high pole where only cats can stay, and with your better-than-average hearing, you managed to overhear the conversation in the house." "Obviously, the reason for the quarrel between Dennis and Lord Colston is not to get Colsten to remove Mrs. Odetta's name from the will......" he took a sip from his glass, "but wanted Colsten to remove everyone's names from the will, and then add the only ......'Dennis. Lovecraft'. ”

Jack, Nancy, and Odetta, the three direct heirs, all had sudden changes in their faces when they heard the words.

"I think Dennis must have gotten through somehow...... For example, bribing Colston's lawyers...... I learned about the contents of the will. Feng Bujue continued, "Then, as long as he spends money to hire a few private detectives to come out and find out Patton's true identity, he can easily find out Patton's true identity." He drank all the wine in his cup, "a suicidal **, an illegitimate child who has been in prison, and a rich man who has several marriages...... Give this story to the gossip tabloids, and it will be serialized for half a year. Dennis undoubtedly used this to intimidate Lord Colston and get him into submission. ”

"Nope! You are talking nonsense! My Dennis wouldn't do that! Why did he push his father to this point? What is an inheritance? He's married to me, and our family ......," Carol said excitedly.

Feng Bujue interrupted her, "You are indeed pathetic. ”

Carol's glasses widened, tears rolling in her eyes, she seemed to realize something, but she still couldn't accept it.

"Dennis, I must have known that he was not Mr. Lovecraft's own son." Feng Bujue said, "This matter is undoubtedly sued by my mother before she passed away, that is to say...... He knew it when he was a child. He must have faintly hated his biological father and hated his origins, so he was very cold to Henderson. He is also very cold to his brother and sister.。

He married a wife from a higher family than Lovecraft's family in order to leave a way out for himself. He would go to Chalcleston's will, partly because he knew who he was, and secondly because he knew what the old man was.

Dennis had no feelings for Colston, the titular father, and he buried in his heart with an inferiority complex far greater than anyone else in the room. When he found out about 'Barton'...... Please forgive me for my words...... It is normal for this wild seed to behave like that when his name appears in the will, and he, who has been the son of someone else for decades, does not get a penny, he will behave like that. ”
