Chapter 86: Confession
The next day, Monet was working in "Comet", and suddenly received a call from Jessica, who didn't take it seriously at first, and joked: "Why do you miss me?" Wait a minute, I'll get over this little thing at hand! ”
"Oh, it's not me looking for you, it's your sister-in-law Mary looking for you, and she says she has something very important to tell you!" Jessica explained.
"What?! Mary looking for me? What's the matter? Monet asked curiously.
"I don't know, she won't tell me."
"Okay, then you ask her to wait for me for a while."
After taking care of the work at hand, Monet came to the café, Mary poured you a cup of coffee, and then sat down opposite him and said in a deep voice: "Tony, my friend in England sent me a telegram saying that you are sending someone to investigate me in Ipswich?" ”
Hearing Mary's question, Monet suddenly felt very embarrassed, but at the same time, he also confirmed that his sister-in-law was definitely not simple, otherwise how could an ordinary woman know about this and be willing to spend money to send a telegram to send a message.
"Actually, I just want to know more about my brother, so naturally I will learn something about you by the way!" Monet stubbornly explained.
"You don't have to investigate, I'll tell you directly, I tell you the truth about your brother Alan's death, and my identity is indeed not so simple, but this has nothing to do with you, I have never done anything to hurt your brother, and even your inheritance ring would not have been preserved without me."
To be honest, Monet really didn't expect Mary to be so straightforward, so he was a little stunned for a while, and then he slowed down for two seconds before asking: "Eh, can you tell me your true identity and whether you are my sister-in-law?" ”
"I don't need to tell you my true identity, as for my relationship with Allen, he has indeed been pursuing me, although I didn't think to promise him, but it is true that he did not give up and accepted some of his kind gifts......"
Hearing this, Monet complained in his heart, isn't this just using my cheap brother as a spare tire, it seems that whether it is ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, this green tea is everywhere......
Then Mary said, "But if you promise not to destroy me and Vincent, I can give you two benefits." ”
The reason why Mary did this was actually because he knew that his identity in Ipswich could not withstand investigation at all, especially when she learned that Monet had hired a well-known detective in London, and it was precisely because of the popularity of "Sherlock Holmes" that it stimulated the rapid development of private detectives in Britain and even Europe......
"Oh? What are the two benefits? Monet asked curiously.
Mary held up two fingers and said, "First, I will try to ease the relationship between you and Vincent, as long as you don't provoke him anymore, I will try to persuade him not to go against you and Rick!" Second, I can tell you that a person who has been plotting against you behind the scenes, and even the murder of your brother this time was driven by this person, and the person who impersonated you was indeed a liar, but if it were not for this person's promotion and planning, he would not necessarily think of using your name to deceive......"
Before Mary could finish speaking, Monet interrupted, "This person you are talking about must be Professor Moriarty, right?" ”
"Huh? Do you know him? Mary asked, surprised.
Monet replied hatefully: "Of course I know, this guy has targeted me several times, but unfortunately he has never been caught, I didn't expect him to run away to England!" By the way, what is this guy's real identity? ”
Mary shook her head and replied, "I don't know about this, I guess even the fake Monet doesn't know, because he told me that he received a letter from Moriarty to him, and after investigating it, he decided to do it!" ”
"Looks like you're familiar with these liars?" Monet asked tentatively.
Mary nodded and replied, "That's right, that's why I know about these things, but don't worry, like I just said, I didn't do anything to hurt you and Alan, so please don't interfere with me and Vincent." ”
Monet thought for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "I can promise you, but do you think you and Vincent can make it?" ”
"You have to try to find out, don't you?" Mary asked rhetorically, and then said: "Actually, Vincent is a very simple person, he just didn't have a very happy childhood and suddenly took over everything in the Astor family, so he is a little uncomfortable, I believe everything will be fine!" ”
"Well, I also hope that everything will be okay, I wish you success!" Monet blessed.
"Thank you! By the way, there's one more thing, and that's to trouble you and Jessica and Nicole to help me keep it a secret, Vincent didn't know that I almost became your sister-in-law! After saying that, he stood up and said, "Alright, I'll go pack my things, goodbye, Tony!" ”
Seeing Jessica watching Mary's back as she left, Monet teased: "Why are you envious? ”
Unexpectedly, Jessica shook her head and replied: "Tony, you misunderstood, I don't envy Mary, on the contrary, I am not optimistic about her and Vincent's future at all, but because of this, I admire her courage!" ”
"Why not be optimistic?" Monet asked curiously.
"Because Mary has too many emotional experiences, how can she marry into a wealthy family with this background." Jessica explained.
"It's hard to say, maybe Vincent likes it!" Monet is justified in this statement, because Brooke Russell, who was later revered as "Mrs. Astor" by the philanthropic community, was already married to Vincent for the third time......
Just when Monet recalled the ups and downs of "Madame Astor's" life, Jessica nodded and agreed: "That's true, after all, everyone likes everything, for example, you like other people's wives!" ”
"Is that just a coincidence? Actually, what I like is a blonde girl with long legs, a slender body, and three-dimensional features, you see if you and Madeleine and Nicole are not all like this, but it just so happens that you are both married. Monet argued.
"Why don't I believe in such a coincidence, and Christina also meets these conditions, why didn't I see you chasing her?" Jessica retorted.
"She's my employee, if I chase her, how will I work after that?" Monet argued.
