Guidebook for the Dark Duke

    Just after lunch the next day, a servant came in to report, Mr. Ferd and Mrs. Johnson asked to see, Evan was talking about some art-related matters with the Duke, and when he heard this report, The atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little subtle.

    Duke Wilson glanced at Evan, who lowered his eyebrows and said nothing, and wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word, only said: "Welcome them to the living room, I'll be out right now."

    The servant bowed and stepped back, but Duke Wilson walked up to Evan, looked down at Evan, and said softly: "I'll go down with you, I'm also a donor of the church, this I still have the right to intervene in this matter.”

    Evan raised his head and glanced at Duke Wilson. His handsome profile was generally hidden in the shadows, and he had a strange beauty. With a grateful look: "Thank you very much for your generosity."

    Duke Wilson smiled indifferently, lifted Evan from the soft chair, and walked downstairs.

    Evan's wound has almost recovered at this time, but he still needs to be careful when going downstairs. He deliberately leaned most of his body on Duke Wilson and walked downstairs with his strength .

     Duke Wilson froze as soon as Evan approached his arms, and in the process of going downstairs, he moved step by step, at a loss like a hairy boy , Evan's eyes showed a secret smile, just such a small act, can make Duke Wilson so chaotic, it seems that his plan has been 90% successful, the remaining 90% Ten, it depends on your own means.

    Duke Wilson kept helping Evan down the stairs, and when he finally sat down, Evan said a little apologetically: "My lord, I'm so sorry, I'm sorry to trouble you."

    Duke Wilson wished that he would trouble himself more, he waved his hand a little ridiculously, and said in a shaky tone: "You...you are too polite, it's nothing..."

    His voice was soft and floaty, and by the last sentence, almost no one could hear what he was saying.

    Evan looked at him like this, and couldn't help laughing in his heart, Duke Wilson was so emotionally young, it was beyond his expectations.

    At this time, Ferd and Mrs. Johnson were also led in by their servants. To Evan's surprise, Sheriff Chandler also followed. He looked at this picture The scene was stunned.

    "Mr. Sheriff?" Duke Wilson frowned and said first: "Why are you here? Does this matter require the intervention of the police?"

    Duke Wilson's trust in the police can be said to have been reduced to dust, and he didn't even have a good impression of Sheriff Chandler.

    Sheriff Chandler looked a little dejected, at least much more dejected than the high-spirited look before, he pinched the already outdated brim, glanced at the weak-looking Evan, low He said, "Lord Duke, Mr. Johnson's case has not yet come to a conclusion. I am here this time to visit Pastor Bruce, and at the same time, I want to get some opinions from Mr. Pastor."

    The last time Sheriff Chandler tasted the sweetness, this time he was devastated and ineffective, he naturally thought of Evan again.

    Evan hesitated a little when he heard this, and looked at Sheriff Chandler in surprise: "Oh, Mr. Sheriff, you really think highly of me, for this matter, I No more than you know."

    Sheriff Chandler was a little afraid of Duke Wilson, but he was very close to Evan. Hearing him say this, he quickly said: "You helped me in the last case, This time, please help me again, this matter has not been resolved so far, Scotland Yard is already very dissatisfied with me, and if the police detective above is sent over, I am afraid the matter will be more complicated."

     Hearing him talk about this, the Duke's eyebrows could not help wrinkling, he glanced at the calm Ferd, and the expressionless Mrs. Johnson, suppressing the thoughts in his heart, finally Whispered: "Don't talk about these things, please sit down, three people, let's settle the main things today."

    Speaking of this, Ferd finally had the time to interject and said with a smile: "Today, I would like to thank the Duke for your generosity, so that we can talk about this matter in your manor."

    Duke Wilson gave Ferd a cold look, and said coldly: "Pastor Bruce is my friend, this trivial matter is nothing to worry about."

    Folder's smile immediately stiffened.

    Duke Wilson stopped looking at him, and turned to Mrs. Johnson, who was sitting on the far edge of the sofa with a black veil covering her face, and whispered: "Madam, since you are here today Now, how do you plan to compensate for what Mr. Johnson did before?"

    Mrs. Johnson glanced at Duke Wilson almost nervously. She took off the hat on her head, and the face behind the black veil was pale and terrifying. sane woman.

    She looked straight at Duke Wilson with a hint of madness and anxiety in her eyes.

    "I don't know anything about what he did, and I have never seen his money. I cannot satisfy your request."

    Mrs. Johnson's voice was still a little trembling, but everyone sitting in the room was shocked by her, especially Evan, he half got up and looked at Mrs. Johnson with a stern tone He said, "Ma'am, didn't you promise to return the money to the church as I did before? Why do you go back on your word now?"

    Mrs. Johnson didn't look at Evan at all, she quickly lowered her head, clasped her head with her hands, and whispered in pain: "Pastor Bruce, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry, I can't help it either, I thought he I left the property, but now I can't find any trace of the property at all, and I can't help it..."

    Mrs. Johnson was choked up in her final tone. Her life was indeed not very good these days. There are also frequent bombings by tabloid reporters, and her spirit is on the verge of collapse at this time.

    Evan frowned, looking at Mrs. Johnson, with a little uncertainty in his eyes.

     Duke Wilson walked over to Evan, stroked his shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Sit down first, don't crack the wound."

    Evan sat back on the soft sofa again. At this time, he was full of emotions and did not respond, but Ferd, who was sitting opposite, flashed a gleam of light in his eyes.

    "Mrs. Johnson." Ferd said without waiting for others to say, "No matter what you say, your husband's embezzlement of church property is a fact, there is no doubt about it Yes, if you don't cooperate well now, then this matter will be handed over to the court, they will freeze your property, auction off your house, and then use it to repay the church's deficit, if you don't want things to develop to At this point, I still advise you to cooperate with our work."

    Folder was sent by the church after all, and it was natural for him to threaten people.

    Mrs. Johnson shuddered when she heard this. She looked at Ferd in horror, as if looking at a devil.

    "You...you can't do this..." Tears welled up in her eyes: "Mr. Verde, you are a gentleman, do you really want to embarrass a widow like this?"

    Evan squinted at the poor woman in front of her with tears streaming down her face.

    "Difficulty?" Ferd looked at Mrs. Johnson and smiled: "How can I embarrass you? Everything I said is based on the law, which is stipulated by the law, Even you, a noble lady, have to abide by it. I will tell you the consequences of this incident, just to let you know that the seriousness of this incident is also a request for you to stop saying these irresponsible words. , the property of the church, you must return it."

    Mrs. Johnson couldn't help trembling when she heard this. She clenched her skirt tightly, bit her lower lip, and looked at Ferd with a deep expression in her eyes. deep fear.

    Sheriff Chandler looked on and said, "Mr. Ferd, do you have to be so heartless? Mrs. Johnson is also a poor victim. !"

    Folder looked at Sheriff Chandler and sneered: "Victim?" There was a hint of arrogance in his eyes: "She is a victim, so does the church deserve to lose? You want Knowing that the property of the church is used to serve God, are we going to use this money to feed a greedy demon?"

    Sheriff Chandler is not good at debating, he choked all of a sudden, unable to say a word, Mrs. Johnson looked at Evan with pleading eyes.

    Evan was originally a little embarrassed in his position on this matter. At this time, when she saw her naked and pitiful eyes, his situation suddenly became more difficult, and Evan only felt that his scalp was numb.

    Mrs. Johnson's pitiful eyes he couldn't ignore, because he was a 'kind' pastor, but if he turned against the church in matters of the church, he would not be far from the end.

    Evan's heart is tangled like a mess, but he can't say a word. Now the eyes of the whole scene are on him, and he only feels like a thousand fingers.

    Evan looked up at Ferd, and the sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth made Evan's heart skip a beat.

    He did it on purpose!

    This is Evan's only idea, to force himself to such a point, Ferd really does what he says, or his hypocritical face will be revealed, or the church's punishment will also be It's a vicious approach.

    Evan's heart was full of hatred for Ferd, but at this time, under this scene, he couldn't say a word, Evan clenched his sweaty palm, He said warmly, "Madam, you..."

    "The church is in charge of this matter, and Pastor Bruce is probably powerless."

    Suddenly, Duke Wilson interrupted Evan's words, he looked at the poor Mrs. Johnson with a cold face, and continued to say coldly: "Madam, you ask Reverend Bruce, but you are looking at His kindness is above his mercy, but the church is in charge of this matter, and I am afraid that Pastor Bruce will not be able to do more for you, so please solve this matter yourself."

    When Duke Wilson came out, Evan was relieved, but he didn't dare to relax, he could only look at Mrs. Johnson helplessly, with a trace of pity in his eyes.

    "My dear lady." His tone was very soft: "I fully understand your situation, but this matter is beyond my purview, I really can't do more for you , please rest assured, I will write your matter to the bishop, the bishop is merciful and will definitely make the right decision."

    Fortunately, there is a church, otherwise this matter is really difficult to handle.
