Franz had been worrying about how to deal with this matter before.
Although he successfully instigated a maid in the other manor who had access to secrets and used her to learn a lot of specific information, he was not originally prepared to actually take action.
He compiled this document based on the information he currently had. He wanted to find an opportunity to raise suspicions and lure a few opponents to test it for him.
But now the person who becomes passive is himself.
Now, Chapman seems to have no reaction, but...he must be cowering in secret now, it depends on who jumps out to attack him first.
"Destroy that account book. We must not let anyone know that we are related to this matter." Franz rubbed his temples and walked back to his desk to sit down.
"But-" Geli wanted to say something else.
In this case, wouldn't it still be the same as before? Nothing has changed.
"Nothing but!"
Franz said angrily: "Do you think aristocracy is just playing house?! If you like him, have a deep relationship with him, and if you don't like him, just draw a clear line with him?"
"Even if you want to draw a line, can others let you draw a line?!"
"Do as I say immediately," he said. "Even if you want to jump ship midway, it is definitely not at this time."
"There are more hidden considerations behind this matter. Chapman is just doing things for others..."
Ge Li heard every word, but she couldn't understand why it was like this.
Even this kind of thing can't change his father's determination.
What exactly does he want?
Isn't it to continue to pass on the glory of the family?
…
In a cramped underground space.
Time passed bit by bit, and every minute and every second passed extremely slowly.
Anne didn't know how much time had passed outside.
However, my hunger has been going on for a long time.
All the original food has been snatched away. In an environment of mutual distrust, everyone's eyes are like evil wolves, emitting a faint light.
Not long ago, these people had another fight due to a quarrel, and there were still inconspicuous blood stains on the ground.
No one knows what is happening outside, and why the magician who came to clear the passage has not shown up yet.
It’s not that no one has doubts or even fears about it.
However, they still have to deceive themselves and stay calm.
If anyone dared to say something that dissatisfied everyone, he would have to use his fists to teach him what to say and what not to say.
The atmosphere was very oppressive, as if it only needed a little spark to detonate this explosive barrel.
Anne sat far away in the corner, seemingly indifferent to everything happening in front of her.
March gave her a worried look.
If he was still confident that he could be rescued at the beginning, now he is no longer so sure.
It would be easy to say if an earthquake really happened, but judging from the current situation, another possibility is becoming more and more likely.
After working in this hellish place for several years, he knew very well that to those big men, human life was the least worth mentioning.
If the news leaks out, it is not impossible that he will choose to sacrifice them all directly.
However, if unfortunately he guessed it, he would just die here, and even Anne would be buried underground together...
Both men were preoccupied.
"Hello."
Someone suddenly came towards them.
Anna raised her head and stared at him expressionlessly.
"Miss Anna, you just came down from outside, right?" the man asked, "What were the conditions of the other people in the manor at that time?"
It seems that he wants to collect more clues to judge the current situation.
However, even if you know it, it will only increase your worries.
"Everything was normal when I came down, and the two guards outside the building were also doing their duty," she said.
Hearing this, the man became a little more anxious.
"Has Mr. Chapman previously revealed when he will return to the manor?"
The other people with bewildered faces around them seemed to have a glimmer of hope, and they leaned closer here intentionally or unintentionally, trying to hear their conversation more clearly.
"I'm just a maid responsible for cooking and delivering meals, and I don't have access to such important news." Anna's tone was flat.
It's like giving up struggling in the face of reality.
"That's not right." The man said meaningfully. "Miss Anna, aren't you... the personal maid arranged here by Earl Chapman himself?"
This news, which most people didn't know, shocked everyone else for a while.
They stared intently at Anna's slight change in expression.
March was also stunned and looked at Anne's face in confusion.
However, she just smiled slightly.
"So, so what?"
"Do you think that Master will rush back here desperately for me?" She said slightly sarcastically, "If I were really that important, I wouldn't be locked up with you now."
"You!" The man was irritated by her words and took two steps forward to pick her up.
However, Madge stepped in front of Annie and pushed the man away with force. "Stay away from her, she doesn't know anything!"
Before her thoughts calmed down, her body took the initiative to respond to protect her.
Caught off guard, the person asking the question was pushed by Madge and staggered back several steps, almost falling down.
After barely regaining his balance and standing up straight, the man stared at Madge angrily and resentfully.
"I can't believe it... At this time, you jumped out to be a good person?"
Realizing that the atmosphere was not right, several other men stood up silently and stood behind the man to express their positions.
"It's useless no matter how much you press her." The bearded man watched coldly for a while, and finally interjected: "If she can really get out, is she willing to die here?"
However, these people have lost sight of such obvious truth.
Perhaps they actually don't understand, but they urgently need to find an outlet for their anger and fear when they are under excessive pressure.
——It’s all because this woman concealed the truth and refused to disclose the chance of escape.
Ma Qi was breathing heavily. He had been nervous and hadn't had a good rest for a long time. His eyes were bloodshot at this time.
He felt miserable.
His heart felt like it had been broken, and he was in severe pain.
He knew that he shouldn't ask for anything extravagantly. In fact, before this, he had never thought about having a future with Anne in the future.
However, as soon as he thought about what that man had just said, it was like a blazing fire was ignited in his body.
...I want to burn everything in front of me to ashes.
