1855 United States Tycoon

Anna's words surprised Scrooge. Some time ago, he was a little careless. It's all right now. Isn't he coming up with fluffy hair? However, for a rich man, having an illegitimate child is actually not a big deal. It's just that Scrooge is still staring at the halo of "patriotic model" and "moral model", and suddenly an illegitimate child emerges, which is not very good, especially since the United States is still a Puritan country, the family ethics requirements It has always been stricter than Europe. Think about it, in Scrooge’s previous life, President Clinton of the United States did something we love to hear with a female intern. He was far from developing to the point where he could get a little hairy. In the same period, the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi’s daily hobby was to show the entire Italian people that I had a new mistress younger than my granddaughter, and believed that this would increase his approval rate among the Italian people. When French President Mitterrand was asked about the own scandal or its political influence, he actually replied, "This fully demonstrates my charm, and the people will like me more because of it." Clinton looked at it and estimated that only envy was turbulent. It's drooling.

As a "moral model" of United States in the nineteenth century, Life shouldn't have the problem of illegitimate children. If it does, it must be covered up and never let others know. For example, Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of United States, had five illegitimate children with a black female slave. But these illegitimate children, Jefferson never recognized, nor did the Jefferson family. This matter was dug up by Jefferson’s political opponents, but in the end, when he could not completely get rid of the suspicion, Jefferson simply pulled his nephew out and made his nephew a happy father to the media. Admit that this is his illegitimate child. However, even if it is confirmed that these children originated from the Jefferson family, they still have no right to obtain any of the Jefferson family's wealth.

Under such circumstances, Anna is of course very worried. As a rich man, Scrooge would certainly not marry a woman who has no background and no identity. Therefore, his children can only be illegitimate children, and illegitimate children have no right to inherit family property. And this illegitimate child may also have an impact on Scrooge's reputation, so she doesn't know how Scrooge will deal with her and her child. Therefore, I am full of unknown fears about myself and the future of children.

"Anna, don't worry, I will take care of this problem." Scrooge comforted her. For the Jefferson family with a large population, the illegitimate child is purely redundant, but for the sparsely populated McDonald family, any child with McDonald’s blood is extremely precious, even if it is a child. An illegitimate child! The way the Jefferson family kicked out the illegitimate child would never happen in the McDonald family.

Seeing Anna still looking uneasy, Scrooge said: "Anna, you know, the McDonald family is different from other families. What we lack most is children with McDonald's blood. In any At that time, a child with McDonald’s blood was invaluable. So, you don’t need to worry about your child."

"Scrooge, but...could it be..." Anna's eyes began to flash. Could it be that Scrooge would admit this child, and because of this, give her a name that he didn't even dare to think about before? This picture is so beautiful that Anna dare not continue thinking about it.However, the ruthless man immediately broke all her illusions with a word that followed.

"Anna, I just want to wrong you." Scrooge wrapped her arms around her, and gently stroked her lower abdomen with his hands.

"I'm nothing...Ah, Mr. MacDonald, what are you talking about?" Anna didn't understand Scrooge's words at first, thinking it was just a general comfort, but she immediately recalled and asked in horror.

"In the future, this child may become the heir of the McDonald's family, but he will not call you mother. Anna, I have wronged you." Scrooge still answered her in a very gentle voice.

Anna understood that the soap bubble that was so beautiful that she didn't even dare to think about it broke. Girls from the poor family will inevitably have some Cinderella dreams. However, in reality, even if Cinderella meets a prince, she will definitely become a prince. No queen, most, but a shameless mistress of the prince. Anna already knew this very well, but who could guarantee that she would never dream.

Anna shook her head, as if she wanted to make herself more awake. After a while, she whispered: "Mr. MacDonald, are you planning to get married? Will I still see him in the future?"

"How can I get married now?" Scrooge said, "At least for now, there is no suitable marriage partner. You know this. As for the child, how can you not see him? Well, I think so. . Anna, there’s a piece of news that you may not know yet. Carol’s wife Catherine also happened to be pregnant. I don’t think there will be a big difference in the time of your childbirth. Therefore, I plan to declare that Catherine gave birth to twins. This way. , Your child will have a legal status. From now on he will also become the legal heir to the wealth of the McDonald family. As for you, Anna, I can arrange for you to be a housekeeper in our house. So you can always watch Our child has grown up. Anna, what do you think of this approach?"

Tears welled up from Anna's eyes. She didn't say anything, so what could she say? Although she gave birth to the child, she has no say in this matter. She also knew that if this kind of thing happened to some other rich men, what would be the result: the mistress is still a mistress, and the child, in the future, may become a servant of the genuine Young Master. To be honest, Scrooge's solution is already so benevolent in this era. What can she say? So, she just grabbed Scrooge's hand tightly and shed tears in silence.

Of course, it is impossible for Scrooge to say it by himself. He still has to talk about it with the Carols, the child's nominal parents.

In the afternoon, when he returned home, Carol was walking with Catherine in the garden-because Dr. Menger's expert team told them that pregnant women also need a certain amount of activity.

"Carol, Catherine, hello." Scrooge walked over to greet them.

"Scrooge, you are back!" Carol responded with a smile on his face.

"Let's go over there and sit down." Scrooge pointed to a bench over there and said to the Carrolls. "I have something to discuss with you."

Carol and Catherine glanced at each other, then Carol nodded and said, "Well, let's go over and talk."

"You mean Anna is pregnant, that child is yours?" Carol said in a low voice.

"Yes." Scrooge replied briefly, and Carol's eyes made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Are you sure that kid is of McDonald's blood?" Carroll asked next.

Hearing this question, Scrooge immediately understood that Carol’s way of thinking about problems was actually very similar to that of him. They were all the same. The first thing to consider was the importance of a child with McDonald’s descent. So he replied:

"Of course, how can I not find out about such a thing? You know, Anna’s location has the opportunity to have access to some of the company’s secrets. People like this have always been under our surveillance. For her We are all in control of every move of his. Therefore, this child is of the blood of the MacDonald family. I am absolutely certain of this."

"So..." Carol was just about to speak, but felt that Own's waist was severely pinched. He turned his head and saw Catherine staring at him. So Carol went on to say:

"Well, um, Scrooge, as a Christian, how can you make such a mistake?" Carol corrected his face and began to criticize Scrooge. "This is dishonest behavior and violates Sacred. The doctrine and the teaching of Jesus Christ, I really feel ashamed and sad for you, think about it..." Carol has been in Europe over the years, and has seen a lot of things, like Scrooge, a young man with a lot of money. In Europe, if there are no one or two mistresses, it is almost impossible to make people doubt whether there is a problem with some aspect of his ability. Therefore, when Scrooge told him, he had enlarged the belly of the own female secretary. After that, Carol was not too surprised. He saw such things a lot in Europe, and even some customers would tell him directly, "The man who is in charge of the carriage for me is my illegitimate child." His current rebuke was actually just showing Catherine.

Catherine is a European and an aristocrat. She is more than Carol about such messy things. In fact, she has only met Anna a few times when she arrived in the United States, and she can basically be sure that Anna is a history. Gao Zhi's mistress. Therefore, this situation was completely within her expectation. In her opinion, that thing about Scrooge was not called anything at all. But, Damn it's, Carol didn't show any aversion to such things. What does this show? Doesn’t this mean that Carol thinks it’s not a big deal to raise a mistress outside? Although, in Europe, this is indeed not a big deal, but in front of the pregnant wife, he showed the attitude that it is not a big deal to raise a mistress now that a man has money. This is really... anyway. , Intolerable!

But Catherine also knew that a child with McDonald's blood was important to the family. Scrooge's solution is the one that best suits the family's interests. For the benefit of the family, this suggestion cannot be rejected in fact. So, after her husband had enough "righteous" performances, she stopped her husband and said, "Carol, young people make mistakes, and God will forgive them. Don't blame Scrooge. I think Scrooge's solution The plan is very good, and I have no objections. It's just that I have one request, that is, Anna, never claim to be the mother of that child."
