Chapter 154: Showing Weakness Than Exploding
Mary, of course, didn't believe that her friend could be so naΓ―ve, she knew that it was just a sign of weakness and paralysis. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Because of her own frustration, she also has a lot of itching for Charlotte and Agnes, but she is more rational and knows that the overall situation should be the priority, so she can't help but remind the other party.
"You have to be careful, that man is very fierce, why don't I go with you?" She leaned over to Fran's side, "Also, Sir has a lot of respect for her, so we'd better not get too hard with her......"
In her opinion, after controlling these managers of the factory, the two of them have assisted Charles to complete the plan of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and now Charles is in the most advantageous position, and the people below are only obeying him alone, and will not be led by his wife, and the two of them are in an advantageous position because of Charlotte's mood.
In such a situation, there was no need for them to do anything extraneous at all, and wouldn't it be a bad thing to provoke Charlotte and Agnes, or let them see something? Just let the two of them be happy to themselves.
"I don't hate her, she provoked her herself." Looking at the faint sparks in the distance, Fran said coldly, "I have never had any ill will towards her, I just want to achieve my wish, but she uses her own set to stop me, why should she stop me?" I...... I'm in such a situation, I can only fight back, no one can stop me, no one can! β
Speaking of this, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, revealing a peculiar smile, "But don't worry, I won't make a big fuss with her, I will let her see that I can't do anything and make her happy about it...... This is the last effort, and if she is willing to raise her hand, I will spare her, otherwise I will resist with all I can, and no one can blame me for pursuing my own happiness. β
Mary watched her silently, her blue pupils turning a dark inky color from the night, and a terrifying sight.
Love is crazy! Looking at her friend's eyes that gleamed with a strange light, Mary thought to herself.
There's no point in saying anything at this point.
"Well, no one can stop you." She sighed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the early morning sun, Agnes, who had stayed in the hotel and had gotten up early, finished her morning practice, returned to her room, and began to enjoy her breakfast.
After swallowing a piece of cheese, Agnes drank a glass of water, and the whole person felt a satisfaction that is characteristic of people when their hunger is relieved.
She doesn't pursue personal enjoyment, so the daily food is very simple, but because she has been wandering abroad for many years, eating these foods unique to her motherland is an indescribable enjoyment, as if she is enjoying some kind of big meal.
Coupled with the errand that everything went well, her mood became extraordinarily comfortable.
However, this comfortable mood did not last long, and was interrupted by an unexpected news.
Her niece's daughter begged to see her.
How did she end up here? How dare she come to see me?
When she first heard the news, Agnes frowned, and the good mood of breakfast was ruined, she didn't like each other, and certainly didn't want to see each other.
But there was a curiosity in her heart, so she didn't say anything to refuse.
Okay, let's see what you have to say, Agnes flicked her fingers and wiped them clean with her handkerchief.
Fran soon made her way to the room, where she saw Agnes seated.
"Good morning, Aunt Agnes." Fran saluted very respectfully, her face full of smiles, as if the two had never clashed before.
"Good morning." Agnes had a smile on her face, "Long time no see." β
"It's been a long time, are you okay?" Fran didn't flinch at all because of the other party's hidden sarcasm, but seemed more earnest, "I really hope I came over suddenly and didn't disturb you......"
"It does bother, but I won't be upset about this little thing, you don't have to worry." Agnes wasn't polite at all, "What makes me wonder is, how can you be in Giverny?" β
"I've not been in a good mood lately, so I came to Giverny with my brother yesterday to relax, after all, there is our family's property here." Fran replied calmly, not wanting to show that she had been in Giverny for days, "I saw you on the train, but I don't think you wanted to see me, so I didn't say hello to you." I didn't want to bother you today, but today, I suddenly heard a bad news, so I thought I'd better check with you......"
Agnes sat motionless, now clearly understanding what the other party was trying to do.
"Excuse me, did you bring a message from Charlotte yesterday asking the factory managers to stop reporting to me, is that true?" Fran asked.
"Yes, it's true." Agnes nodded immediately, then sneered. "What's wrong with that?"
"I guess that's really problematic." Fran looked at the other party calmly, not at all afraid, "I am Mademoiselle de Treville, I am the sister of His Excellency the Chancellor, and I have always assisted him in managing this place, and of course I have the right to know the situation here. β
"If you had the power before, then I have to tell you that you don't have it now." Agnes spread her hands, "Charlotte is the owner here, she can choose whether she wants to welcome or expel a guest, it's clear that you're in the ranks of the undesirables......"
"The world doesn't run by likes and dislikes!" "If you think about it, because my brother didn't have the experience to take care of everything, the business here was handled by us, thanks to God's blessings, and under our rule, it has developed very smoothly, and it finally has the scale it has today." It doesn't matter if you don't recognize our efforts and achievements, but if you say goodbye to this place all of a sudden, and we are not allowed to participate in any business activities here, or even allow us to know any business conditions here, then wouldn't this bring chaos?! If we are expelled all at once, then the continuity of the business will be greatly hit, and in the end, it is not me who will suffer the most, but my brother and Charlotte! β
"You want to prove that you are irreplaceable, but as far as I know, no one in this world is irreplaceable." Agnes wasn't at all moved by her words, "You should admit it yourself, right?" The biggest dependence of the development here today is not your brain or your ability, but the power of the Charles, so as long as there is the power of the Charles, who is not the same? Charlotte can manage this place, even if it is difficult for a while because of pregnancy or experience, but she can always find some help, can't she? β
"Anyone can have power, but wealth doesn't jump on its own, and without the assistance of experienced and loyal people, my brother's power can't run smoothly, right? Charlotte: Will she be able to take Giverny? I have some doubts, after all, she hasn't cared about this kind of thing all these years, and she hasn't made any hard efforts to study, even if she can do well in the future, who will make up for the loss in the middle of this time? I'm not trying to persuade you from my own standpoint, I hope you don't get into trouble for my brother's sake, after all, he has a lot to do, and he shouldn't be bothered by this kind of thing. "There are enough disputes within our family, so why add them to some disputes for the sake of some conflicts of will?" β
"...... battle of wills?" Agnes frowned slightly, and looked at Fran coldly, as if she didn't understand why she was able to say this. "Why did things get to this point, shouldn't you be the one who knows best?"
"I don't understand what you mean." Fran shook her head.
"Don't I understand that enough? Your stubborn and brazen desires have angered everyone, and no one can tolerate you anymore, if you are interested, you should know that you should know to go away, and don't affect everyone's life anymore, only by doing so, can everyone get rid of your shadow and live a happy life. Agnes didn't bother to go around in circles with Fran, "It's obvious, you should be entertained, shouldn't you?" β
"In other words, it's all because of my personal perception, right?" Despite Agnes's hard words, Fran remained unmoved.
"yes, that's it." Agney nodded without hesitation, "Charlotte can't tolerate some people she hates to use her property for her own benefit, and she doesn't want to see some people with shameless thoughts to take away what she holds most dear, so she wants to expel you, I think it's her right." You have no right to blame her, because you are the one who does evil. β
Fran lowered her head, as if thinking about something.
If it were someone else, I am afraid that she would think that she was guilty, but Agnes would not, she already knew that this niece was like a stone, so she would not have such unrealistic expectations.
"She has such thoughts, I'm not surprised, then...... What about you? After a long moment, Fran suddenly looked up, and then looked at the other with hope, "Aunt Agnes, I have never offended you, have I?" Didn't disrespect you in any way, did you? Why do you have to oppose me? β
"Why?" Agnes asked with a sneer.
"I really don't understand, I've never had any ill will towards you, I've never interfered with anything with you, and I haven't even done anything to obstruct you from wanting to kill my father...... So I wondered, why do you have to look at me that way? Why do you have to interfere with my life? Fran blinked slightly, as if she was about to weep, "I just beg you not to interfere in our lives, isn't that okay?" β
"Don't act like this with me!" As if she had been bitten by something, Agnes immediately raised her voice, "Isn't all this because of yourself?" β
Fran continued to ask the other party as if she still didn't understand, "I...... I never intended to disturb your life, nor did I expect you to like me, I just begged you not to disturb my life, why can't you just leave me alone? β
Her sudden question made Agnes a little annoyed.
"Why? Don't you understand? If you only want to destroy yourself, then no matter what you do, I don't bother to care, but do you want to drag everyone along with you to destroy, and you want others to stand by? There are no more outrageous words than that! She frowned and stared at the other party, her tone becoming more stern than ever, "You can live quietly, enjoy Miss Treville's riches, or go to fend for yourself, I really won't interfere with you, but you want to take the craziest path, and you have to blame others for interfering with you!" β
"Maybe you think it's crazy, but I think it's sensible, after all, my path is only my own." Fran remained calm, "I don't expect you to understand me, I ...... I just want to ask you, if I am with the utmost sincerity, please do not meddle in the matter between me and my brother again, you...... Can you raise your hand a little higher? β
"Impossible!" Agnes replied aloud.
"What if I agree to any of your other arrangements?" Whatever you want, I've got you covered. Fran was not deterred by the rejection, and still pressed the other party with a hopeful face, "I can spend my life thanking you for your kindness, and repay you with the greatest sincerity." β
"Impossible!" Agnes refused categorically, "Don't you have a little shame?" β
"Yes, I don't, how can a sinner be? I am firm with you, you think I am blind, I grovel, you think I am hateful, how happy you should be if I die...... It's a shame I never died. Fran laughed bitterly.
The rejection was expected, but it still made her angry.
Yes, anger.
She didn't want to be patient any longer, and suddenly looked up at the other party.
"So you think you're administering justice, right? But it seems to me that you are just using me as an object to vent your hatred! β
"Nonsense!" Agnes was furious.
"Am I talking nonsense?" Fran's tone became cold, without the slightest fear, "Well, if I were my mother's daughter, even if I had such thoughts, would you...... You wouldn't be like that, would you? β
The question made Agnes' heart thrand a little.
She really didn't want the other party to dare to say such a thing.
"If you were Alice's daughter, you wouldn't do anything like this to shame everyone! It's because you have the blood of two demons that you're so filthy! β
"Hmph, hehe......" Fran laughed even in the face of Agnes' anger. Maybe if that child hadn't died, she would have made the same choice as me? Ask yourself, if it were that child, would you do this to her? β
Agnes couldn't hold back any longer, she slapped the table hard, and pointed out the door.
"Get me out! Please leave before I can't take it anymore, or I really can't guarantee anything else! β
So you admit it? You hate me so much only because of my blood! Fran still didn't mean to back down, looking up at the other party, "So, I deserve to be unlucky, I am destined to be your enemy, and I bear your hatred for my brother and grandfather, even if her death is not ......caused by me."
"Shut up!" Agnes stood up abruptly and punched Fran in the face with a wave of her hand.
However, at this moment, Agnes suddenly remembered her promise to Charles, and her hand stopped in front of her.
"It's disgusting." Agnes retracted her hand, "Disappear from my face immediately, this is the last time I warn you." β
What a pity. Fran thought to herself.
If she used violence again, her brother would be furious, and she still had a little brain at the last moment.
But it doesn't matter, the original purpose has been achieved.
"Okay...... I understand, I know how much you hate me, and I know that you can't make peace with me anymore, and I can only regret that. Fran stood up easily, "I have to say, Charlotte and you have now managed to get rid of us, and we can no longer work for the factory here, I can only pray that you can take over in peace, and don't make a mess of everything, don't forget...... If everything goes bad, it's the TrΓ©villes, not us, who suffer. β
"Thank you for the reminder." Agnes also controlled herself, and then replied in a cold manner, "But, as I said before, it doesn't matter if you leave, everyone will do everything well, as before." β
"Good luck then." Fran saluted Agnes again, "If you need us, just ask." β
"Heh......" Agnes sneered.
Fran said no more, turned and left.
She suppressed the disgust and hatred in her heart, so that her expression and pace would not be affected in any way.
It was her last attempt to get Agnes to stop interfering with her, but as she had expected, she failed.
The facts were already in front of her, and she couldn't have been, by pleading, to get the stone in Agnes' way out of her way.
But this failure also breeds success, and her groveling plea, and the emotional outburst that follows, will make Agnes see her panic and anguish and anxiety, and these will be passed on to Charlotte.
May you be happy for two more days. When she stepped out the door, she thought to herself.
