Chapter 377: A Different Chris (Guaranteed Third Update)
October 15th!
The moment he stepped out of the plane and set foot on the land of London Heathrow Airport, Mark's mental state was raised to a serious level.
But......
Mark glanced up at the foggy sky, shook his head, sighed, and said, "The weather has never been better. ”
London!
A glorious ancient city, but it was built on endless bones.
Tightening the buttons on his body, Mark with sunglasses walked out of the special plane with a blank face and sat directly in the special car sent by the Crawford Group.
Half an hour later.
A historic and extravagant estate greets Mark's eye.
Crawford Manor.
In 1547, King Eward IV granted the land and house rights and residency rights to the Crawford family at that time.
Crawford was a member of the English aristocracy.
After getting out of the car.
Mark saw his little sister Anne standing in the doorway for the first time.
Anne also blinked a little in a daze, greeted her, and whispered: "What the hell is going on, how can my father have anything to do with the Crawford Group, one of the largest groups in the UK?" ”
Mark shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who knows." ”
Annie: "......"
When walking into the manor, a large wave of manor staff shuttled through the living room and lawn like industrious bees.
Not far away, Chris was talking to a woman with a beautiful back with a serious face.
"She is Anna Miller, the current CEO of the Crawford Group." Anne, who was walking with Mark, whispered to Mark, "It is said that your cousin, my cousin, left a letter when he disappeared, appointing this Anna Miller to take over the Crawford Group instead. ”
Mark stopped and said, "So what are we doing here?" ”
Anne smiled and pointed to a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes next to their father Chris not far away and said, "That is the Minister of Ceremonies of the royal family, Crawford is an earl after all, and it is obvious that our niece is still young. ”
Anne said, pointing to the delicious little Lori who was only seven or eight years old who was standing at the gate of the manor not far away with a confused expression, and said, "That's it, Laura Crawford." ”
Mark: "......"
Laura Yer.
Still alive.
And it's also from the Lori period.
Let's be honest.
At that time, when he traced the traces of his father's youth, when he saw the surname Crawford for the first time, Mark had a premonition that he would meet this Laura sooner or later.
But......
Again, it seems that Mark was born too early.
He turned out to be the same generation as Laura's father, that Richard Crawford.
"I don't agree with ......"
Just when Mark was thinking about it, Chris who was not far away waved his hand excitedly and whispered to Anna in front of him: "Laura is a member of the Crawford family, and now that Richard is missing, Laura should be raised by the Crawford family, not an outsider." ”
What does this old guy want to do?
Mark blinked, feeling something was wrong.
You don't want to raise Laura on your own.
Facing Chris, who was a little excited, Anna on the other side said: "The letter left by Richard instructed me to take care of Laura, and I have this responsibility." ”
"Crawford is a nobleman." Chris said directly: "Laura should receive an aristocratic education rather than a commoner education. ”
Mark and Anne: "......"
Mark and Anne glanced at each other, always feeling that Chris's words were a little strange.
What does this mean?
Now that you remember that your last name is Crawford?
Where were you a few years ago?
One in the family counts as one, which one is not a civilian education received?
Civilian education recruited you and provoked you?
What's the deal with the strong smell of contempt between the words?
Facing Chris, who was quite excited, the royal ceremonial minister on one side also replied to Anna opposite: "Ms. Miller, although Mr. Chris Louis gave up his surname Crawford many years ago, but in the current situation, the House of Lords thinks that it is a wise choice for Mr. Louis to be Laura's guardian. ”
Anna, who was wrapped in her arms, shook her head directly and said: "This is impossible, Laura is British, I don't agree with letting Laura go to the United States to live, Laura should grow up in Britain and then take over the Crawford Group." ”
Chris directly smiled and changed his original righteous attributes and said, "No offense, but Crawford is a nobleman." ”
Anna: "......"
Mark and Anne, who were on the side, were completely stunned.
Is this old guy of the nobleman in front of him really their father?
Both Mark and Anne always felt that something was not very real.
Counting back to the last thirty years, Mark didn't think that Chris had exposed such a superior attribute in front of them.
Could it be that it is necessary to arrive in a special area for the superior aristocratic temperament to burst out?
Blinked.
Mark shook his head and whispered, "I still don't quite understand why Chris asked us to come over?" ”
Anne replied, "I don't understand either. ”
Old Chris wants to adopt Laura, and Mark has no problem at all.
Not for him to adopt anyway.
As for whether the plot of Tomb Raider will be shifted to the planet Java, Mark does not have any psychological burden.
That's when it happened.
Mother Angelis, who was standing next to Chris, walked towards Mark and Annie, who were standing not far away.
When his mother approached, Mark asked in a low voice, "Mother, what are we doing here?" ”
Angelis didn't answer the question, but looked directly at Mark and said, "Do you know Richard, where is this cousin of yours?" ”
Mark blinked, a little unsure of which one Angelis was going to make again.
What was the delusion that made her think he knew?
Mark suddenly smiled a little ridiculously, spread his hands and looked at Angelis, and said helplessly: "I'm an FBI agent, not a prophet." ”
"Are you sure?" Angelis is smiling!
Mark was dumbfounded.
What's going on with this girl?
In all fairness.
Does Mark know where Richard is?
The answer is yes.
But Mark knew he knew, and how did Angelise know?
If there were any strange abilities for a family wizard, Mark might admit it.
But Angelis is no longer a family wizard, and there is no mysterious side power of magic in her body.
Hell this is?
Angelis turned her head to look at Chris, who was still debating excitedly, and then looked at Mark and said, "Mark, do you know why I never worried about your safety since you left home at the age of sixteen?" ”
Mark shook his head.
Frankly, Mark thought about it at the time.
But then Mark attributed him to the fact that Western education was what it was.
And!
After he left home, he was called a hot and homesick or something?
There is no such thing as a ......
