"Are you sure it's your child?"

Brooklyn asked.

Mark Millaine propped his hands on the railing, looked at the laughing bride in the crowd below in a slight daze, nodded when he came back to his senses, then rolled his eyes, took a glass and drank it down.

"Or else? This one is really bad, go get me some beer. ”

Mark Meaille said to Brooklyn.

Brooklyn shook her head, "I haven't seen a beer on the list. ”

Mark Milley cursed in an irritated whisper and pulled Brooklyn upstairs.

Walking through the third floor to a bedroom on the fourth floor, Mark Milai turned on the light, walked to the fridge at the bedside, and took out two beers.

Brooklyn was a little embarrassed.

This room belonged to Mark Mi, but the sheets and quilts on the bed were messy, and there were obvious traces of moisture on them.

There are even two handcuffs tied to the head of the bed - not toys, real police handcuffs.

A few pieces of women's underwear were randomly discarded on the ground, and a small used umbrella was lying on the ground less than two meters in front of Brooklyn on the left, flowing quietly.

Mark Millaine loosened his belt indifferently, handed Brooklyn a bottle of beer, opened it himself and took a sip, glanced at something on the ground along Brooklyn's gaze, and waved his hand

"Okay, let's go out and talk."

Brooklyn nodded and exited the bedroom with a beer.

Coming to the living room, the two sat on the sofa, and Mark Milai poured another sip of wine and said

"It's her sister."

"It's the woman with purple hair who has been hanging around her."

"Her sister is better than her."

Mark Millay breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "From the first time we met, her sister was seducing me. ”

Brooklyn tugged at the corners of his lips and declined to comment.

Mark Millay didn't take the bride seriously at all.

So here's the problem.

Since he doesn't take the bride seriously, why should he agree to get married?

This is not the same as Brooklyn's idea of 'getting married to a child.'

Mark Millay even revealed that he didn't mind sharing his bride with Brooklyn.

This wedding has been a mess for Brooklyn since Mark Mee came along.

So far, the only good news is that he has confirmed that the baby in the bride's womb is from Mark Mee.

"That's what I did to Anne, or maybe Anne knew what we're talking about......"

Brooklyn pondered the exhortation.

Yes, this is an exhortation, not a threat, and it is not a rejection of righteous and stern words.

Mark Millay was stunned, and took a large sip of beer, as if to freeze himself, and his whole face was wrinkled.

He took a sip and spat out the beer.

The light-colored carpet, which is unknown and unknown in origin and price, immediately showed a large wet mark.

Mark Millaine wiped his mouth with his sleeve without care, put the beer on the ground, covered his mouth and cursed.

After a long pause, Mark Millaine covered his mouth and said, "I don't mind. ”

"As long as your marriage to Anne is alive, it doesn't matter."

"Oh, but you have to have a baby with Anne first. And make sure that you leave everything for the rest to this child. ”

"Once you've made a will, it doesn't matter if you have an illegitimate child of a rugby team."

Seeing that Brooklyn's face was not good-looking, Mark Millay smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, this thing needs to be made early." After all, we never know who will come first tomorrow or the unexpected. ”

"I amend my will at least three times a year."

"Seven days ago, before she came to me, I had just amended my will to leave three-quarters of my estate to my grandson."

Mark Millaine spread his hands.

"And then she showed up with a big belly."

"I had to revise my will for three days in a row."

"Three-quarters of my grandson's is only one-fifth left."

Brooklyn nodded, his face calm, as if three-quarters and five-fifths were the same number to him.

Mark Millay has obviously realized that this sudden appearance of the pregnant woman, and the child in her belly, has brought a lot of changes to him and to Brooklyn.

The appearance of this child completely broke everything he had planned.

His relationship with Brooklyn began to grow delicate.

When it is dealt with, they will become close partners, the kind of true partners who will not betray each other. If it is not handled well, their relationship will immediately fall to the freezing point. They may still maintain a superficial alliance, but behind the scenes they will wish for each other's sudden death.

The most fundamental change brought about by the appearance of the bride is that Mark Millaine has other inheritance options.

In the past, Mark Milley had to leave everything he had to Anne, because Anne was his only offspring.

No matter what Mark Mealy does, no matter how outrageous, as long as Anne's wedding to Brooklyn goes smoothly, or, as Mark Mee said, he has another grandson, everything that Mark Meelai does will belong to Anne and his grandson after his death.

It's like Mark Mie's will. He has already left three-quarters of his inheritance to his grandson, who is not even a cell.

To put it simply, before the bride appeared, Anne was Mark Milley's only heir, and no matter how big the conflict between the two parties was, as long as Anne's marriage to Brooklyn survived, the rift could be bridged, and Mark Milley would eventually be on Brooklyn's side.

Brooklyn doesn't have to worry about being sold by Mark Millaine at all.

But something changed.

Suddenly, Anne was no longer Mark Millai's only option.

Anne's marriage to Brooklyn plummeted. The marital relationship between the two will become ordinary.

Because marriage does not guarantee that Mark Millay will choose to leave the inheritance to Anne as always.

Maybe he prefers his younger son.

This unborn child suddenly wiped out the trust between Brooklyn and Mark Meere, and the relationship between the two could even be 'factory reset' at any time.

Since meeting Brooklyn, Mark Millet has always shown a kind and candid side.

Unsuspectingly, he asks Brooklyn to tie his bow tie for him, discusses his wife with Brooklyn, tells pornographic jokes, and shows off his bedroom...... He did not shy away from showing his vulgar, deviant and even disgusting side in front of Brooklyn -

He even implicitly invited Brooklyn to play cards with him.

The Federalists may not have the saying 'they have carried guns together, shared windows together, shared dirt together, and voted together for prosperity', but they have similar understandings and ideas.

Moreover, it is still such a deviant and unethical behavior.

For some, the thought may be irritating.

- Mark Millay has already expressed the attitude of playing cards together, which is to be absolutely honest with each other and absolutely trust!

But Brooklyn is skeptical.

It's a real face, he can't get Mark Mi to come.

To put it bluntly, he can make Mark Milley disgraced, and Mark Milley can stuff him in a garbage bag and throw him in the trench in New York Harbor.

Mark Millay's military is a relatively independent system, and Brooklyn's growing influence within the judicial system is difficult to say that it has reached into the military.

But Mark Milai relied on the influence of the military, but he met many people outside the army.

Each other's influence is not in the same field, and it is difficult to compare the strength of each other. But broadly speaking, Brooklyn sees himself as weaker than Mark Mee.

Under this premise, Brooklyn has to be wary of Mark Meere.

Because the rules are made by the stronger party, the stronger party can follow the rules, and can also choose to overturn the rules at any time when they are unfavorable or do not want to.

Based on this, Brooklyn is skeptical of Mark Millais's candor.

What if Mark Milai wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf?

What if Mark Milai wants to use himself to leave a legacy for this unborn child?

When it was impossible to distinguish whether Mark Meeley was pretending to be real or not, Brooklyn chose not to move.

Mark Meelai must have seen Brooklyn's hesitation, so he initiated a negotiation.

He mentioned the legacy. It is expressed that he will only leave Anne at least one-fifth of the inheritance.

As for what the actual result would be, he left plenty of room for bargaining — he said he would revise his will every year, adding that it had been three-quarters before.

For an old guy like Mark Millay, one in five is actually a huge number.

Among them, property is secondary, and the most important is his political wealth.

Connections, influence, subordinates, factions, allies...... These are the most valuable of Mark Millai's legacy, they are priceless.

They can't be used to pay for a hot dog, but they can create untold amounts of wealth and value.

"This kind of thing should be told to Anne."

Instead of accepting negotiations, Brooklyn took Anne out.

Mark Millaine shook his head, "You and her are about to get married, and you have the right to decide her affairs." ”

He seemed to want to drink beer again, and when his finger touched the bottle, he stopped and took it back, probably thinking of the taste of being frozen.

"Mark." Brooklyn shook her head: "Actually, it's okay for you to leave all your inheritance to your children. It's your child after all. And he's so young. ”

"You're 61 years old. If I had worked a little harder with Anne, perhaps this child would be even younger than your grandson. ”

Mark Milai's face quickly darkened.

His eyes turned gloomy, like a falcon patrolling the hunting grounds, and he lowered his head slightly, stared at Brooklyn, and asked

"What do you mean?"

"It's not interesting." Brooklyn Stall: "I don't think it's necessary to compromise our relationship for the sake of a child. ”

"Tomorrow or the accident, who will come first? No one can say. ”

"Maybe he'll need me and Anne to raise him in the future."

"Or maybe he needs love and help from his sister and brother-in-law."

"Did you say so?"

"So there's no point in discussing how much of an inheritance was left to him or to Anne. When your Will comes into effect, you are dead and you will not see what we are doing with your estate. ”

"Don't forget, I'm a judge, and before I became a judge, I was the best lawyer in New York. Your daughter, Anne, is also a very good prosecutor. ”

"It's obviously useless to rely on the law to bind us."

"So, it doesn't really make much sense to talk about the distribution of wills. What do you think, Mark? ”

What made Brooklyn decide to make a bold attempt was the percentage of inheritance that Mark Meaille had inadvertently mentioned.

Although three-quarters and one-fifth may just be a casual remark by him, like the first offer from a merchant when buying something. No matter what you buy, the first offer of the merchant is definitely quoted with the idea of 'asking for a price and paying back'.

The higher the asking price, the more room for the buyer to make a counter-offer.

It's a marketing ploy.

Still, Brooklyn heard something unusual from the two huge disparities between three-quarters and one-fifth.

Mark Milai seems to care a lot about this kid!

What if things weren't what he had guessed, and if Mark Millaine actually cared a lot about the kid?

This wedding makes sense. There is also a reasonable explanation for Mark Milai's strange attitude towards the bride...... Many contradictory or confusing questions have been answered.

With that in mind, Brooklyn decided to give it a try.

When he said these words, he pointed to Mark Milai's nose almost nakedly and told him, 'You'd better get acquainted with each other, be nice to me and Anne, or I'll bully your little son to death when you die.'"

In order to add credibility to this threat, Brooklyn also went out of his way to tell Mark Milai that the law was useless.

He's a juggler!

Mark Millay's fingers on his knee twitched slightly.

"Are you threatening me, Brooklyn?"

Mark Millay looked straight at Brooklyn and asked in a deep voice.

"That's how you repaid me after I married my daughter to you and helped you get out of a desperate situation?"

"Threaten me with an unborn child?"

Smack-

Mark Meille slapped the arm of the couch and shouted angrily

"What do you want to do!"

Brooklyn looked at Mark Milai, slowly stood up, and said with a smile, "Mark, don't be angry, I didn't mean to threaten you." ”

"It's not, it's not telling you that we are a family, so we don't have to be so clear."

"Even if you die tomorrow - I don't mean to curse you, just an analogy - even if you suddenly die tomorrow, Anne and I will take care of your children."

"Anne is his sister, why should we go and bully a baby? Even if it's looking for superiority, how much superiority can bullying a baby bring? ”

"This kid is thirty years behind us, and to be honest, he's about the same age as our kid."

"You're thinking too much, Mark. You care too much about this child, and if you care, you will be confused. ”

Brooklyn persuaded earnestly, and raised Mark Millai's hand to examine it.

"It's a handrail made of solid wood, and you're not afraid of breaking your bones."

"It's okay, no problem."

Brooklyn finished checking and sat back down.

Mark Millay's face was pale, and his lips trembled with anger.

No one knows how true Brooklyn's words are, and how false they are. Except for himself.
