There was a knock on the door, and after receiving permission, the female assistant who had just been blocked from the door walked in, holding a large bouquet of flowers in her hand and a beautiful envelope.

"What's the matter?" Lizzie opened her eyes, and after seeing the large bouquet of bright roses, she knew what was going on.

"The flowers belong to Earl Hardy. The female assistant said helplessly, among the suitors of Lizi, this Earl Hardy has the highest status and a lot of wealth, which is considered a representative of the handsome and rich, and one of the people who have pursued it for the longest time, except that he is a widower, it is simply perfect.

"Send the flowers out, is the letter his, take it away, I don't want to see his things, and next time he sends flowers again, dispose of them like this. Lizzie commanded, in the past, she had always maintained courtesy to this earl, because she might be able to use someone else, but today she didn't know why, she felt a fire in her heart.

"Yes, but the letter is not his. The female assistant said.

"Whose is that?" said Lizzie, but then there was impatience on her face, and even a little disgust, if not Earl Hardy's, it was probably another suitor.

"Yes......." the female assistant quickly glanced at the generic text on the pink envelope, "It's a letter from a foreign country, and the writer claims to be the Saxon Viscount Vilanda." ”

"Veranda?" Hearing the name, Lizzie stood up unexpectedly, her face became so strange that the female assistant could even feel her body trembling slightly.

"Veranda?" Lizzie grabbed the envelope with some excitement and read the contents of the letter casually.

Then, under the horrified gaze of the female assistant, she tore up the invitation letter from Viscount Veranda.

Veranda. This is what Lizzie wanted to forget many years ago. It brings her confusion, sadness, betrayal, and embarrassment. Even people who had to go far away.

Of course, her story with this name is very vulgar to tell in detail.

It is nothing more than that when she was young, when she was still a young actor who had just made a name for herself in the theater world and had just made a name for herself, she met the handsome Veranda in Saxon, and at that time this man had not yet inherited the title left by his uncle, and had only the title of a knight, but he was handsome and rich. behaves decently, and it is easy to get the heart of Lizi.

After that, they spent a sweet time together, and Lizibao even secretly decided to give up her acting development, ready to marry him, concentrate on being his wife, and give birth to a lot of children for him.

However, as in most vulgar dramas, the man betrayed her in order to inherit her uncle's title. Willing to accept the marriage arranged by his uncle, he chose to give up on her.

Even more ruthlessly. He was worried that she would not give up, so the night the two last met, one moment he was still tender and sweet, and the next moment he tore off his mask and beat her into the bottomless abyss, so ruthless that she immediately got out of the tryst.

A month after leaving, she found out that she was pregnant, but she could not see him, so she could only bribe one of his servants to help deliver the news.

But she still did not see him, but the servant with a few men forced her to drink the potion, so that the child was gone, and was given a final warning that if she did not leave, she would not even be able to save her life.

When she returns to her original troupe, she discovers that everyone knows that "she had failed to seduce the handsome Mr. Veranda, and now she has reaped the consequences, and Mr. Veranda has declared that she will never see her again".

The poor woman had to go away from the countryside in this situation, and was taken in by the old head of the Daffodil Troupe, and became the righteous daughter of the old troupe, and a few years later the old head died, and entrusted the troupe to her on her deathbed, and she was completely disappointed in her feelings, and she decided not to perform directly on stage again, but to concentrate on becoming the manager of the Daffodil Troupe.

Until, the Daffodil Troupe, which became increasingly difficult to gain a foothold, led her to the Free City, where she met Solomon.

Years later, although she still hadn't completely forgotten the name of the person who had killed her all her life, at some point, when she found that her heart was filled with another person, her hatred for Veranda suddenly lessened a little.

That's because the previous hatred also included some love and memories, and how deep the love and memories were, the attached hatred was also as deep as it was.

But when she was completely empathetic, her hatred for him was more because of his ruthlessness, his meanness, and no more of the hatred that came from love.

But now the name is back in front of her.

In that letter, Viscount Veranda begged for her forgiveness, claiming that the tragedy was not his intention, but that his dead uncle had forced him to do it.

After explaining, he racked his brains to recall the past love between the two in the letter, and invited her to visit.

Lizi quickly judged that this shameless man should be in trouble, otherwise he would not be so brazen as to plant his dead uncle with his previous sins, although his uncle was indeed not a good person.

He must have found a way to confirm that she was the woman he had known before, after hearing Lizi's name.

Lizzie thought for a while, picked up a piece of letter paper casually, and wrote on it with a pen, "Mr. Veranda, I have received your letter, mentioning the past, I think I should thank you for not killing back then......."

She found an envelope in the drawer, put it in it, thought about it, and grabbed a Mithril coin and threw it in.

She called the female assistant out loud, and then handed her the sealed letter, and told her to find a way to send it to Veranda, since he could send it here, then naturally there was a way to send it back.

"By the way, help me to inquire if this Mr. Veranda is in trouble. Lizi added casually.

As she put her things away, the assistant said, "Is this Monsieur Veranda your old acquaintance? He seems to be in trouble, for this letter has been brought to St. Quentin by one of his faithful servants all the way from the Saxons, and the sturdy lad is still living in the cheapest inn of St. Quentin waiting for news. ”

The female assistant hesitated for a moment and took out a few Saxon silver coins. "Look. He also bribed me. I hope I will give you the letter and tell him how you will react when you read it. So I took his words curiously, that Mr. Villeck seems to be in some trouble, and I would like you to help me with my old feelings. Oh, I am not giving you the letter for the sake of coveting these silver coins, which are not usable at St. Quentin. I was touched by the lad's loyalty, and. I really thought you and his host were friends before. ”

The female assistant secretly looked at Lizi, and until now she couldn't tell if she was making a mistake this time.

But she soon knew, for Lizzie smiled and said, "Well, you can ask his master what trouble he is in, and if the trouble is greater, I should be happier." Alright, so be it, go and give my reply to the poor lad, and let him get back quickly. ”

"Yes. The female assistant said yes, but her feet did not move immediately.

"Anything else?" said Lizzy, a little annoyed.

"Yes. It was Mr. Lionel, who came early. I've been waiting to see you. The female assistant said.

"Oh, yes, why didn't you tell me sooner, you should have told me as soon as Miss Vera left, instead of telling me what Mr. Veranda had written from first. Lizi said angrily.

She pointed to the door and commanded, "Go and bring him to me." ”

The female assistant agreed and hurriedly went out.

Mr. Lionel is the representative of the Bank of Roses in Sant Quentin, how did Lizzie know him?

She remembered that it was another representative of the Rose that she had met first, it seemed to be Mr. Pomsois, and that gentleman was also very similar to Lionel, handsome, dashing, erudite, and versatile, and the female assistant would risk angering the boss just now, although she was very sure that Lizzie would not blame her when she heard Lionel's name, and partly because this representative of the Rose Bank could win the favor of most women almost easily.

After meeting Monsieur Pomsois, Lizzie happened to be at the time when she quietly had a strange feeling in the heart of that person, like a little revival in the ashes, but surrounded by new old and old emotions, which were not pain, but hardship.

She must admit that after making the acquaintance of Monsieur de Pomsois, he had won her affection, and that it was a pleasant and pleasant thing to talk to him, and that although she could not speak freely to him, she had unconsciously regarded him as a friend.

But Mr. Pomsois seems to have risen through the ranks very quickly, going to Titanya to take charge of the Rosary Bank's business, and Lionel arrived.

Lionel and Pomsois are very close in temperament, perhaps with the influence of a good impression of Pomcois, Lizzie was wary of Lionel from the beginning, and soon turned the friendship bet on Pomsois to him.

However, Lionel's relationship soon became different from that of Pomsois, he maintained most of Pomsois's strengths, but like an active volcano, he officially became one of the suitors around Lizzie.

It's a pity that Lizzie can't accept it, since Veranda, she has only been emotionally attached to one person, and she knows that it is impossible to get this person.

The only thing she can do is to work hard to make herself feel useful in that person's mind.

It's a dilemma that can't be solved, can't be explained, and can't be shaken out.

Among the suitors, if Count Hardy is polite because of his status and influence that makes her need to be scrupulous and exploited, then Lionel is more pure, without so many interests to consider, even if the company needs a loan, Lizzie has a way, and does not need to rely on the Rose Bank.

She really thinks that this Lionel can be a friend like Ponçois, because talking to him, she can always be so happy, temporarily get out of the predicament in her heart, he is like a masseuse in the soul, and his speech is always so appropriate.

And he is so infatuated, since he met Lizi, he has never pursued another woman.

This made Lizzie feel even more apologetic, although Earl Hardy was equally persistent, but he was a widower. (To be continued......)
