Chapter 845: Black Widow

An autumn morning at Jerry Hall's apartment gave Simon the idea of going on vacation, and Janet told them that after a week on the East Coast, the couple flew to Austria together

Autumn is at its most beautiful in the Alps.

Simon owns a holiday villa with a stunning view in the southern foothills of the Alps in western Austria.

This time it's not a ready-made property, but a build-up from scratch in recent years to Simon's liking, like Simon's mountain villa in Yangshuo, China. Halfway up the mountain, backed by snow-capped mountains and surrounded by woods, the villa is only accessible by a winding road, at the foot of which is an Eastern European town next to a lake, and the surrounding natural pastures are dotted with birch forests.

In autumn, the birch forests that bloom like flames, the lakes that are as quiet as ink, the pastures that still look like green carpets, and the quiet and lonely towns form a beautiful picture of the Garden of Eden.

The couple arrived here over the weekend and immediately had a feeling that they didn't want to leave.

The trip was meant to be with the family.

Jennifer has to take care of the two little ones and can't leave, so she can only stay. Melbourne has already started school, there are still two ducklings to take care of, saying that it is a weekend trip, and two days is certainly not enough, so it is impossible to leave. The other two are a little older, one is full of curiosity about the whole world with a pair of beautiful eyes, and the other is also full of eagerness to use everything around him to hone his two rows of small teeth, Janet is reluctant to bring it, and Simon is not willing to bring it.

It can't be helped.

So it became a trip to the world of two people.

Rare relaxation,

The two days of the weekend completely left everything behind, just hiding in the mountain house to read, sleep, paint, listen to music, enjoy food, and do some of the things you love.

I don't plan to leave after the weekend.

The company plans to return to North America before the listing of Eaglet on October 6.

October this year is very important for Daenerys Entertainment, because after adjusting the fiscal year cycle last year, this month will count the first full-year financial report of Daenerys Entertainment after its listing, and things will not change because of the suspension and merger of Daenerys and Metropolitan ABC.

Simon attaches great importance to corporate financial audits, but fortunately he does not need to be personally watched.

As the special financial advisor of Daenerys Entertainment, after going public last year, Simon was also placed in a director's position, and Daenerys's annual financial audit, Veronica will come to North America to help until the audit is completed.

However, plans can never catch up with change.

On Tuesday, October 3, Sophia made a phone call, and Simon, who was packing a boat on the lake at the bottom of the mountain, planned to go boating on the lake, and hurriedly flew to Milan, to be precise, Janet took Simon to Milan in a hurry.

Something happened that was neither big nor small.

Fashion Week, which starts in mid-September, is currently in Paris, and next week it will be Milan's turn.

Although the Gucci brand owned by Melisandre is no longer controlled by the Gucci family, most of the brand's events still invite members of the Gucci family to attend.

This fashion week is no exception.

Maurizio Gucci, the third generation of the Gucci family, was nearly murdered after he had recently returned from Greece to attend next week's Gucci show and related events.

The main messenger is also Maurizio's ex-wife.

After Sophia's phone call, Simon also remembered that in history, the most sensational event in the fashion industry this year was the murder of Maurizio Gucci, the third-generation head of Gucci, by his ex-wife, and the impact of the incident was no less than the shooting of Gianni Versace two years later, and the Gucci brand almost collapsed.

Unexpectedly, Simon, the big butterfly, has changed a lot of things, and some things are still happening again.

Thankfully, the murder didn't succeed.

In the process of hiring the killer by Maurizio Gucci's ex-wife, Patricia Matili, presumably out of the need for maximum secrecy, she quietly found the Ukrainian gangster who had just taken root in Milan in the past year.

And then there was no then.

As the most important part of the plan to infiltrate the underground forces in Europe through Ukrainian gangs last year, the layout on the Italian side is the most in-depth, and the leader of the Ukrainian gangs in Milan is still an elite of the former Soviet KGB, and it only took one year to gain a firm foothold in Italy.

Although the Gucci family has withdrawn from the management of the Gucci brand, anyone with a little brain understands that once the Gucci family has a scandal such as the murder of her husband by his wife, it will definitely have an impact on the reputation of the Gucci brand.

So, Sophia received the news as soon as possible.

Then take action.

Even if the murder is attempted, the matter must not be made public, and can only be handled in a low-key manner.

When Simon and his wife arrived in Milan, it happened that Maurizio Gucci and his ex-wife were also brought together by Sofia to confront each other face to face, and according to Sofia, when she sent someone to find Patricia Matilly, the woman thought it had happened and almost fled through the back door.

The main reason for the incident is that Patricia Matilli has been very dissatisfied with the division of property between the two at the time of their divorce, the former couple has been married for more than ten years, has two girls, and in theory Patricia should have taken half of Maurizio's net worth, only to receive a regular monthly alimony.

When she was first found, Patricia thought that the Sophia faction was a policeman, and she poured the whole thing like beans, and put all the blame on a friend, the cause of the murder was instigated by the other party, and once Maurizio died, the personal assets of the Gucci family member would be inherited by his two daughters, and the two daughters of the former couple were minors, which meant that Mauricio's assets would fall into the hands of Patricia.

In order to prevent the two from making a moth again, Sophia specially borrowed the interrogation room of a police station in the eastern district of Milan for the two to negotiate peace.

Simon and Sophia stood together outside the interrogation room and watched the two of them cry hysterically for a while and cry bitterly for a while through the one-way glass, Simon was actually not very interested in this kind of, seeing that the two of them were almost finished talking in the interrogation room, they put their arms around Janet, who was still full of interest and hung on him, and asked with a smile: "I can't be the monkey who was pulled to see the chickens, right?"

When Janet heard this, she finally withdrew her gaze and glanced at Simon with a smile: "I won't find someone else to kill you." ”

Simon feigned panic: "You mean, you came by yourself?"

"yes, while you're asleep, so, my dear, you won't be in too much pain. Janet said, her little hand reached over and pressed it on his heart, looking like she had 'stepped on the spot' in advance, and her eyes showed a threat: "Are you afraid?"

Simon nodded decisively: "I'm afraid." ”

Janet snorted proudly, looked at the interrogation room again, the two tossed, the matter was nearing the end, and Maurizio, who was also afraid for a while, promised to give his ex-wife a compensation, and since then the two have been completely cut in two, obviously even the two daughters of the two do not intend to pay attention to it anymore.

Simon felt that Maurizio probably wouldn't even come back to Italy in the future, and there was a woman living here who wanted to kill him, how could he settle down again. 361 Reading

Seeing that things were almost done, Simon said a word to Sophia, and dragged Janet, who was still a little unhappy, to leave early.

After dealing with the matter, they had lunch with Sofia at noon, and Sofia still had work in the afternoon, while Simon and his wife drove to the villa on the side of Lake Como in the north of Milan, intending to continue their vacation.

This is also part of the Alps.

It's just that because of the climate, the scenery is just as good, but it doesn't have the same beautiful scenery as a painting in western Austria.

A new yacht was found to complete the lake rafting that was supposed to take place on the Austrian side, but the location was changed to the larger Lake Como.

The yacht floated on Lake Como, Janet and Simon, who were worried about being tanned and wore a strict pink casual suit, lay on the deck to enjoy the afternoon sun, and rubbed the man like a cat for a while, Janet leaned into Simon's ear again and whispered, "Honey, I won't kill you." ”

Simon laughed, "Why?"

"Because I know you're not going to dump me," Janet said, opening her mouth to bite Simon on the shoulder, "You're a pervert, bad guy, how can you get rid of me." ”

"Forehead ......"

"Hehe," Janet laughed, turned over to Simon, turned to the other side, and wrapped herself around again, "Actually, I just want to remind you to pay attention to other women, you think that if you give them a lot of things, you will be able to achieve nothing, but they don't necessarily think so, women are greedy." ”

Simon hugged Janet and put her back on himself: "The women around me are very nice and smart, but there are no black widows. ”

Janet shook her head and said, "No, it has nothing to do with whether Satoshi is smart or not." Moreover, there is a dangerous potential black widow around you. ”

"You mean yourself?"

"Of course not," Janet shook her head, lifted up slightly, and called into the cabin, "A." ”

Alison's figure soon appeared, respectfully, "Madame?"

Janet gestured to Girl A, "Now, I think A is most likely to kill you one day suddenly," and looked up at Allison: "A, do you want to kill Simon?"

Girl A shook her head slightly: "No, ma'am." ”

"Definitely," Janet looked determined, but then suddenly reacted, Ah Xiao screamed and sat up directly on Simon, staring at Girl A: "I see, you want to kill me." ”

Girl A shook her head lightly again: "Madam, if it's okay, I'll go down first." ”

"You're definitely trying to kill me. ”

Girl A lowered her eyes slightly: "No, madam." ”

Janet pounced on Simon again: "Honey, A is going to kill me, I'm so scared, you have to protect me." ”

Simon hugged the coquettish Janet, looked sideways at Girl A, and asked with a smile, "A, will you hurt Jenny?"

Girl A paused and shook her head again, as if to promise, "No, boss." ”

"Alright, let's go rest," Simon dismissed Girl A, patted Janet on the body, and said, "Look, I can't say it anymore." ”

Janet watched Girl A's figure disappear into the hatch of the ship, and still muttered, "She obviously heard your order before she promised not to kill me." ”

"A wouldn't have done this without my orders. Now, don't talk about this, come and kiss. ”

"Hmm. ”

Janet is not a psychologist after all, and it is impossible to stare at Alison's every move, so she obviously noticed some abnormalities in Girl A, but she couldn't understand what was going on, and her thinking was inevitably a little deviated. Simon also wouldn't explain to Janet this kind of thing that is somewhat private for Girl A.

In any case, if you talk about the most trusted person around you, Girl A must be counted as one.

The interception of the Gucci family's murder to help Melisandre clear the storm at the upcoming fall show is a small thing for Simon.

However, from this small matter, Simon also found that his quiet layout in Italy was not in vain.

Not only this, but the entire Westeros system wants to continue to cultivate in Italy, and it is destined to be impossible to leave the help of these underground forces.

Because that's the way Italy is.

If it weren't for the European Union's pursuit of European integration, Italy would not have allowed too much chaos, and the country could well become the Mexico of Europe.

Although Simon's shock action last year made the Italian underground forces dare not easily reach out to the Westeros system, except for the secret chess in the southern city of Regio, it is impossible to let the underground forces of the Westeros system serve on the surface, which requires a descendant.

After this incident, of course, Simon would not have personally contacted some people, but he asked the Ukrainian side to send a document on the layout of underground forces in Western Europe.

After all, time is a little short, and this dark web has just been put together as a prototype.

Because of the general xenophobia of local forces, as well as language barriers and other factors, the teams infiltrated by the Ukrainian side can only be concentrated in large cities such as Milan and Rome, and the struggle for territory is not as smooth as imagined, and in one year, more than 60 members of the Ukrainian underground forces have died in various fierce vendettas across Europe.

However, because of the covert support of the Westeros system, these forces are still expanding in general.

Simon has no intention of getting direct benefits from these underground forces out of Ukraine, and he can't look down on them or make a mark, but his control over these forces has never been relaxed.

Controlling the underground is not as difficult as it seems.

In fact, many underground forces around the world are attached to some bigger backers, especially in modern society, and they just rely on daring to fight and dare to fight, and they can't do anything.

When Ukraine's underground forces go abroad and want to become bigger, they need to provide local resource support and obtain benefits, but they also need to be cleaned up through behind-the-scenes channels. If you can't do this, you are destined to just be a group of ruffians who can't get on the table, which makes it even more irrelevant. If you do that, you must choose to be attached and obey.

Of course, Simon doesn't like it, but it doesn't mean that the spokespeople of the Westeros system on the Ukrainian side don't like it.

It's just that these people are more attached to the Westeros system.

If he had been born to be independent, perhaps the Westeros system would lose most of Ukraine's benefits, which would not be a matter for Simon, but Simon would have made those people lose everything, a price that the betrayer could not bear.
