Chapter 25: Out of Control
It's a hassle to meet someone you don't want to meet at the right time. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In order to avoid Grace, John had already hid far enough, but he didn't expect to be recognized by her at a glance.
Moreover, how would she know her name.
Is it from the witcher brothers and sisters, or from somewhere else.
John wanted to be invisible and silent, but no one else would give him that chance.
With this exclamation, all the eyes within a radius of more than ten meters gathered.
Even Bob's eyes changed, and he smiled,
"So you've known each other for a long time."
John was silent, and glanced at her faintly, a hint of warning flashing in his eyes.
"It's not very familiar, it's just ......"
Grace said in an unnatural tone, she was a little afraid of the blue eyes, but she stopped talking and talking, her eyes gurgled, and she didn't know what she thought, and lowered her head shyly,
"He saved my life last night, and I didn't have time to say thank you."
"What!"
Mayor Logan was stunned, and the people next to him who heard this sentence widened their eyes,
Saving.
The two of them wouldn't have happened last night!
Unwarranted conjectures emerged from their minds, looking at the beautiful girl who suddenly lowered her head, the people who were burning with the fire of gossip quickly made up the picture of last night:
The beautiful Miss Grace is chased by a giant wolf, and at the critical moment, the handsome and brave Mr. John stands up and resists the giant wolf with his flesh and blood, buying Miss Grace time to escape.
The beautiful and touching scenes are as evocative as the fairy tales in the Eternal Garden, but not everyone thinks so, and the young single men or the middle-aged parents who want to recruit Miss Grace as their daughter-in-law suddenly look at John's eyes.
Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.
Now that a road to wealth that leads directly to the top has been interrupted like this, how can they not be annoyed.
"Why didn't you tell me about saving Miss Grace?" Bob grumbled quietly, his eyes narrowed slightly with approval.
If his nephew can become the son-in-law of the Francis family, then he can't go any further as the prison warden, knowing that he has coveted the position of deputy mayor for a long time.
John smiled bitterly, only feeling a toothache, liver pain, kidney pain, and pain all over his body, at this time it was impossible to shirk it, so he could only stubbornly say,
"I don't know too much about this, I just helped a lady wearing a peacock mask last night, I didn't expect it to be Miss Grace." As he spoke, his eyes glared at Grace, intentionally or unintentionally, and the warning in his eyes grew thicker and thicker.
But the count's daughter was unaware, as if she had identified John, and whispered in Logan's ear,
"Uncle, I have a few words I want to say to him, you can help."
Logan frowned slightly, his eyes were not happy, he didn't like this young man who he couldn't see through, and he didn't like Grace's current behavior, but his niece's stubborn and pleading gaze really made him helpless, sighed, hooked his hand at Bob, and said,
"Bob, come here, I have something to talk to you about."
"Okay, okay, I'll do it."
The warden smiled, gave John a well-known look, and quickly followed the mayor away.
As they left, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, but the corner of their eyes stayed here, and even the guards patrolling in the distance glanced over from time to time.
Now it's completely famous,
John's face was gloomy, his eyes were getting colder and colder, now was the time of danger, all kinds of situations were not clear, and he didn't even know who the enemy was.
"You don't seem to like being the center of attention." Grace said calmly, with a calm expression, as if she had changed someone.
"Where did you know my name?" John asked in a deep voice,
"I heard you're famous among vampires."
Hearing this, John was stunned, and the name Danny Francis couldn't help but pop up in his head.
"You're playing with fire!"
John said expressionlessly, his eyes as cold as ice.
"I'm just playing with fire, what can you do." Grace held her head high, did not flinch, and when she spoke, her eyes kept falling on John's left eye, she smiled slightly, and said,
"Senior, why don't you show the blue light in your left eye and let everyone see if the giant wolf killer in Condham Manor is as powerful as rumored."
"You want to look me in the eye!"
John stepped forward, his body moving closer to her.
Grace was nervous, resisting the urge to retreat, and roared, "Do you dare? ”
"Dare! But not here,
If you want to see it, we can change places. ”
"Where?"
"Follow me!"
John gave her a deep look and turned away.
Grace struggled for a moment, gritted her teeth and followed, not far behind her, the witcher brother and sister glanced at each other, with a strange look in their eyes, the protection target was gone, and naturally they couldn't stay here.
The four of them stepped through the cordon and disappeared into the crowd in the distance under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes.
"This ......"
This scene stunned everyone, Mayor Logan's niece, the heir to millions of assets, actually left with a young master on a plantation in the countryside.
And the man was a maniac who imprisoned his stepmother and killed his brother.
It's incredible!
At this time, I don't know who said it: John Condon is also said to have graduated from the College of William and Mary, and is also Miss Grace's senior.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces couldn't help but show a look of relief.
If that's the case, it all makes sense.
Looking at the few people who gradually disappeared, Logan turned his head and asked in a low voice,
"Who is John Condon?"
"He's Derek's eldest son." Bob whispered,
"Derek?" Logan frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "It's Derek Condon of Conton Plantation, Mississippi. ”
"Yes, that's him." Bob laughed, "I've been friends with Derek for many years, and this kid is half my nephew.
By the way, he also graduated from the College of William & Mary, Miss Grace studied management, and he studied art. ”
"Oh!"
Rogan nodded, he had a preliminary understanding of this young man, as the mayor of Memphis and the manager of the Nance Chamber of Commerce, he was busy most of the day, how could he have the time to collect these rumors, he didn't know this, and naturally he didn't know what John had done recently.
If he knew, with his love for Grace, how could he allow this to happen.
……
At the same time, on the other side.
John and his party returned to the carriage and said to the three people who were waiting here,
"Uncle Benjamin, I have something to talk to this lady about, so please take a ride with Frank in the carriage in the back moment."
Benjamin was stunned, and was about to say yes, when Frank next to him suddenly came out, pointed at Grace, and said in surprise,
"You're Grace of Apple Estate... Miss Louis. ”
Grace hooked the corners of her mouth, which was a response, she was in a very messy mood now, and she didn't know if the decision she had just made was correct, how could she have the kung fu to deal with such a young man.
"Hello, I... I'm Frank Randy, and this is my ......."
Frank introduced himself excitedly, but was interrupted by a cold sentence in the middle of his sentence,
"Alright, it's time for you to go."
John glanced at him expressionlessly, turned and stepped into the carriage.
Grace bowed slightly, and followed the car door and walked in.
Frank's eyes widened, and he stood in place with a blank face,
Seeing his son like this, Benjamin shook his head bitterly, this stupid boy thinks crankily all day long, and thinks about living an aristocratic life, but this kind of life is not so easy to get.
