Chapter Forty-Nine: The Blue Jewel of the Sea
"Fontaine, do you think this necklace is beautiful?" Totolan said.
She carefully watched Fontaine's reaction, after all, she was the same age as Ling Xiao.
VendΓ΄me's opinion is important to her because she represents the ideas of young girls.
Seeing that the young girl's eyes suddenly brightened when she looked at the necklace, which made her feel a little relieved.
Jewelry is a gift that women prefer to receive, and women generally can't escape the attack of this gift.
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she was more taboo with her eldest daughter now, and she lost the first battle after facing her.
It's okay if this operation is successful, but if it doesn't, it's likely to anger Ling Xiao, and I just hope she will like it as much as most women.
After starting to act, she felt a little unsure of how it would develop, and naturally wanted the approval of one more person, so that she could increase her confidence.
"Wow! A beautiful sapphire necklace, if Miss Linda wears it, it will definitely look good. Fontaine said, watching Totolan give a thumbs up to indicate that the gift was great.
This is really Fontaine's own idea, this kind of sapphire is really too crystal clear, and the style is also very generous, which is more suitable for Linda's temperament, and it will definitely make the already beautiful beauty even more beautiful after bringing it.
She was a very enthusiastic person, and even though she felt that something was wrong with Totolan's behavior before, she would still try to find an explanation for her, and she was really busy as a councillor.
Now I just gave Miss Linda a necklace, which is a good thing at first glance: the large sapphires inlaid with them are very crystal clear, and they should be very valuable
"Good! Since you like it too, then Linda should like it too, so you can bring something over. With that, Totolan put on his glasses.
Knowing that the councillor should have taken time to see him, Fontaine quickly closed the jewelry box and put it in his bag, and quietly withdrew.
She left the place as fast as she could, with slight movements, for fear of disturbing the councillors because of her.
She didn't look back during the whole process, because she was very simple in her mind.
I didn't see or notice that behind her, someone was watching her out the door.
If Fontaine saw this scene, he would definitely feel slapped in the face.
Totolan looked blankly.
complained silently in her heart: she is finally gone.
After secretly breathing a sigh of relief, she felt her head hurt.
The moment Fontaine stepped out of the door, she didn't know why something was wrong.
But knowing what she had done, she just pursed her lips and said to herself: This is for Melanie.
She pressed her aching temples, feeling a little more comfortable, and then realized as if she was ignoring something.
What would that be forgotten? She noticed that her memory had deteriorated a bit since she got older, and she hadn't slept well at night.
Since she was kicked out by her eldest daughter that night, she has always had a breath of anger in her heart, and she will have nightmares at night for several days in a row.
After asking Fontaine to bring the good things over, she relaxed a little, and pressed her sore temples again, still unable to remember what she had missed.
Forget it, if you can't think of it, you can't think of it! Totolan just gave up thinking about it, and there was no need to worry about some small problems in her position, as long as she didn't do too much.
She is a little anxious these days, after seeing her eldest daughter in person, she knows that the original plan is basically impossible to achieve, Linda's attitude towards this daughter is unexpectedly tough, and there is no softening when she is against her, this daughter is born in vain.
Then Linda actually wanted to inquire about the news of her biological father: this news was not good news for her, although she did not say anything more. But there are some secrets that will give her a surprising answer just by looking it down, which makes her feel a lot of danger.
The eldest daughter has no feelings for her, her own mother, of course, Totolan also admits that she also has no feelings for the eldest daughter, it is simply half a catty to eight taels, and Totolan can't blame the original owner for this.
It's okay if there is no emotion, as long as it's not a life-and-death rival, but when she finds out that Linda has an unknown force behind her to support, she finds that the relationship between mother and daughter has become very tense.
The eldest daughter's intelligence was greatly beyond her expectations, and her performance was not inferior to that of the specially cultivated elite children, but she was afraid that the secret would be discovered.
Speaking of which, Totolan has never been married to Melanie's biological father, so there are many people who don't know her true relationship with Melanie.
In the past, she was for Melanie's good, so she rarely appeared in public with her youngest daughter, for fear of causing trouble for Melanie.
Although Totolan considered herself to be of noble descent and of noble blood, others did not agree with her.
After all these years, reality has worn away most of her pride, and she also knows that having a knighthood is not a big deal.
If you want to live well, then you definitely have to have money, lots and lots of money.
She didn't have a lot of money, so she had to work hard to do research.
I just thought that I might get a patent for the cow fork.
It's also possible.
Then Melanie will also have some capital in it.
She wanted to prove that the other half of Melanie's bloodline was also noble.
She wanted to make a career, but she didn't wait for her to succeed.
was hit one after another, first Melanie's own father died of old age.
finally recovered, and Melanie's biggest reliance: the consortium, was completely broken up.
Although Totolan has some complaints about the consortium, it is still related, and Melanie is one of them.
In her opinion, the original consortium was a behemoth, just like the huge size of the Battlestar, which can be said to be invincible.
But before the consortium could take full control of the political situation, something happened at first, which was just a small thing, but eventually led to the collapse of the behemoth.
The drop is too big, isn't it? Fortunately, Totolan also realized that something was wrong at that time, and found that there was a shortage of people in the political arena, so that she would withdraw from the laboratory in the future.
There was no time to rest at all, but fortunately, Melanie's father gave Totolan some connections before he died, so that she could piece together a team to enter the political arena and grab profits.
Not long after entering, the collapse of the consortium caught her off guard, and she had to bear the direction of her own progress alone, but fortunately, at that time, everyone else also had no supporters, and it depended on their respective packaging.
After some observation of those players, the thinkers made the simplest guess, and found that the competitors all had similar plans, and they had some support behind them.
On the contrary, Totolan is the least, so how to have the best design, there are some ideas in the team, so they gave an idea: a strong single mother, this character is quite good.
Originally, Totolan didn't want to agree, but after analyzing the pros and cons, she chose to agree, but after seeing Ling Xiao, Totolan regretted the good mother character.
In this process, the eldest daughter's cooperation is required, and it can be seen that the eldest lady has no idea of cooperating at all, she has her own ideas.
However, Tolan also had a lot of resentment in his heart, and he didn't want to have a good relationship with his eldest daughter at all, and even disgusted his eldest daughter.
After the mother and daughter met, they simply looked at each other more unpleasantly, and she knew that the eldest daughter knew a lot of her black history.
You must know that she hid too many things during the campaign, and if it is revealed, the voters who have cast their ballots will only be unhappy.
She herself may be on the blacklist with no credit, and she naturally can't admit what she has done.
And the biggest threat comes from the eldest daughter, for example, what should she do if she pokes out the black history?
Anyway, she won't agree to do a paternity test with Melanie, and there is no way to prove the mother-daughter relationship.
The thought of Ling Xiao having some of her privacy in her hands made her feel very uncomfortable.
But he didn't have a way to take Ling Xiao, and he didn't dare to move if he wanted to.
It's very angry to think about.
After returning, she gets angry with Randy.
This, coupled with Melanie's frustration, also makes Randy distressed.
Then she and Randy thought of a good solution, and now they have made a move.
Totolan also knew that this matter could only be done slowly, not quickly.
She admits that their idea was bad for Linda, but does she care as a damn person?
No! Totolan was relieved to think of this, hey! Luckily, Butler Randy came up with a great idea.
Now she is thinking about one thing: Will Linda take the bait? Will she like that necklace? Maybe she doesn't like blue gemstones.
Totorine's heart was a little uneasy at the moment, so she kept staring at Fontaine who was out, wishing that she could follow Linda with her.
As the minutes ticked by, Totolan couldn't sit still any longer, she stood up and walked up and down the office, wondering if she didn't know where Fontaine was.
And the Fendon she was thinking about had already arrived at the place, and after knocking on the door and coming in, she looked at Ling Xiao with a smile, "I just came from Councilor Vader, do you know?" Councillor asked me to bring you something. β
Ling Xiao smiled slightly after hearing this, and complained in her heart: Did she bring her something? Would Totolan be so good? Not very likely! After someone has a crooked heart, he can no longer be right, and there is a feeling that a weasel gives JI a New Year's greeting and is uneasy and kind.
"Bell, bell, bell!" As she spoke, she took out the beautiful jewelry box that Totolan had asked her to send her, and her whole person was in high spirits, "Look, you'll love this gift." β
Saying that, she held the box in both hands and stretched it out, Ling Xiao glanced at the thing, and the first feeling was that this was a jewelry box, could it be that this was the jewelry sent by Totolan?
Fontaine didn't notice that the other party was not interested in jewelry, and she stretched her hand forward again and said, "Take it!" My hands are a little tired. β
This is really Venden's idea, because this box is too heavy, what the hell is made of, this is Vendon's idea.
Ling Xiao was resting, looking at the so-called jewelry box, and asked a little boringly, "What is it?" β
With a little excitement, Fontaine said: "This is specially sent to you by the councillor in order to apologize. β
Hearing this, Ling Xiao was a little surprised, heh! Totolan! It's impossible.
Unless it is already the sun rising in the west and then setting in the east.
Totolan was basically kicked out of the apartment by her own hands.
I'm afraid that the woman will hate herself to death in her heart.
Would she even think of giving her a gift?
Scold! It's better to think about a pie in the sky.
Of course, Ling Xiao didn't intend to tell Fontaine about this thought.
After experiencing Felida, she is not afraid to think of human nature as uglier.
"Give! Check it out! You're going to love it. Fontaine was in a hurry to deliver what he was holding.
"Ahh Ling Xiao wanted to say that it was impossible, but he still chose to take it, and the first feeling in the box was that it was so heavy!
Is this a jewelry box? Could it be made of metal? But she soon sensed that the part that came into contact with the outside was wooden.
So what wood would be so heavy? Although the wood is very heavy, Ling Xiao knows that it is generally not used for jewelry boxes.
Oriental style jewelry boxes are mostly made of mahogany, rosewood, pine, camphor and other materials, while in the West, cherry, maple, walnut and other woods are mostly used.
Ling Xiao glanced at the jewelry box, it belongs to the Western style, the wood should not be so heavy, even if someone uses MDF to make it, it is not like it.
So what will it be? She sensed something was wrong in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface, and looked at the box with a slight smile.
Ling Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Fontaine, who was very excited, and asked, "Is this a good thing that Ms. Vader asked you to send?" β
"Yes, yes, yes! Linda, you might as well open it and take a look, the jewelry in here is really beautiful. Fontaine said.
At this moment, she looked at it with a little excitement, and her eyes were also smiling, very happy.
Ling Xiao stretched out her hand and just wanted to open the lid, when she paused suddenly.
She turned on her phone and dialed Totolan's number.
Totolan on the other side was a little restless and restless.
The moment the phone rang, she almost jumped.
Looking at the caller ID above, she hesitated for a moment and didn't want to answer.
But thinking about their previous plan, she wiped her hands and grabbed her phone.
Then I heard a female voice from inside: "Hello, Lady Vader?" Ask for the jewelry box that Ms. Fontaine sent me. β
As soon as Totolan heard that he was asking this question, he said directly: "Yes, I gave you this necklace, I hope you like it." β
"Oh! Is it this sapphire necklace? Ling Xiao opened the jewelry box at this moment, grabbed it and put it in front of his eyes when he saw it clearly, and asked directly.
Totolan, who was on the other side, smiled when she saw this, her demeanor was very amiable, and she smiled very happily from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes! I hope you like it, I think blue is more suitable for you, and I will give you a full set when I have the opportunity in the future. Totolan's tone was also very kind.
Fang Deng was very excited at the moment, his eyes were very bright with a little excitement, his hands were clasped in front of his chest, and he looked happier than Ling Xiao.
And Ling Xiao said lightly: "I don't need much jewelry, just leave it to the person you like!" But thank you for your generosity. β
At this point, there was a bit of sarcasm in her words, and she glanced at Totolan and said, "Goodbye" and she hung up.
Totolan, who was on the other side, never thought that his daughter would hang up her arc, and he was a little unhappy.
Because she knows the fame of this, she is a little embarrassed, this daughter is very straight!
She clenched her fists for the sake of Melanie's future she had to do it.
Anyway, this daughter is unceremonious to her, which is equivalent to being born for nothing.
There is not a single bit of love for my mother at all.
At this moment, Fontaine was a little stunned.
She couldn't believe the eyes, and Linda had another side.
Ling Xiao simply focused on the jewelry box, not caring what Fang Deng thought.
