A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 395 Good explanations are never true
Soon, a serious-looking middle-aged maid was brought into the office by the old housekeeper.

"Mr. Vincent, I wonder what you want from me?"

"Maria, how is your husband doing?"

Brydon didn't ask straight to the point. Although Arthur didn't know why Bryton was beating around the bush, he just sat quietly and listened.

The maid named Maria nodded and replied:
"Thanks to Mr. Vincent, our family is very good."

"So that means everything has been normal recently, and he didn't tell you that he encountered any problems or difficulties, right?" Brighton asked again.

"Mr. Vincent, I don't understand what you mean. If you want to ask something, please just say it."

Maria's answer was very appropriate.

In response, Brighton nodded slightly, and then said:
"Maria, you have been serving the Vincent family for a long time, and your whole family has also worked for me. I think our Vincent family has not treated you badly, right?"

"...Of course, Mr. Vincent." Maria seemed to have realized something was wrong, and there was some hesitation in her tone.

"Then let me tell you straight. I already know everything you are planning to do for me. There is no need for you to hide it from me anymore. Are you going to give me an explanation?"

The tone in which Braton said this was not harsh, it could even be said to be gentle, but Maria opened her mouth for a long time and was unable to say a single word of explanation.

Arthur, who was watching from the beginning to the end, was a little confused.

This development is different from what Arthur thought.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Vincent. No matter what, please believe that we also have our own reasons."

There was no tense situation as imagined, nor the fierce conflict in the drama. Faced with the suspected betrayal of his subordinates, Brayton just nodded, and then said calmly:
"Then pack it up, you're fired."

When Maria learned that she had been expelled, she only apologized in a low voice, and left the study under the leadership of the housekeeper.

Seeing this, Arthur asked puzzledly:

"That's the end of the matter? Don't you ask who she is? Why? What's the plan? Just fire her so simply?"

"Mr. Morgan, the relationship between me and her is just a simple employment relationship. I am not a criminal. For people who grow up in a family like ours, this kind of thing is always used to them at an early age. ." Brighton's answer was still calm, as if he was really used to it.

Seeing that Arthur still wanted to argue, Brighton continued:
"You may not know that before Linda was born, the nanny who was responsible for taking care of Lonnie tried to poison my wife... As for my generation, haha, I originally had two older brothers..."

Even though Brighton's tone seemed to be talking about a trivial matter that had long been familiar, the content of what he said still shocked Arthur.

"In fact, many times, our family is like the king's palace in the past. Everyone living here has built a palace of intrigues. In such a palace, the crisis comes from your blood relatives and also from For your most trusted servants, there are also the malicious intentions extending from the outside. Wealth is a double-edged sword. It brings you a life that ordinary people cannot enjoy. Similarly, it will also bring you the foundation for finding people. Unimaginable danger.”

Arthur didn't want to make any comments about Brighton's remarks. He just said:
"So this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Arthur was referring to the Dickson brothers.

"Yes, it has nothing to do with me. Of course, you can decide whether you want to talk to Maria or not, but please wait after she leaves Vincent's house."

Brydon emphasized 'after leaving Vincent's house' in this sentence. Arthur naturally understood what he meant, but he didn't understand why he went to extra trouble. "Don't you care who they are behind this, why they do it, and what their intentions are against the Vincent family?"

Brayton smiled, not sarcastically, but a little teasing.

"If your way of looking at problems is still so intuitive and simple, then it's hard for me to imagine how you got to where you are today. Could it be that you just relied on luck and coincidence?"

"..." Arthur thought that what he just said was persuasion out of concern and reminder, but Brighton's evaluation made him silent.

Just listen to Brighton continue:
"Who are behind these people, why do they do this, and what are their intentions? You can't find out from them. How can you believe that what they say is true? It's not that they want you to know. What about? The answers obtained from the dialogue are always lies worthy of doubt and repeated identification. Even if they are cries of pain, confessions before death, or self-righteous truths, they are all unworthy of belief. .”

"So, how do you plan to obtain the truth that is worthy of belief in your opinion?" Arthur asked.

No matter how reasonable Brighton's words may sound, who can't speak big words? It is never difficult to raise problems and difficulties, only to come up with solutions to problems.

Brighton smiled and said:

"Didn't you already discover where they hid people? Then go and see for yourself. Seeing is believing. I'm waiting for you to share the news you gained with me."

Okay, this is where I plan to use myself.

He said a bunch of seemingly high-minded things, but in the end, he still had to wait for me to tell him what was going on.

"Can I suspect that you have some suspicions but are unwilling to share them openly with me?"

"A good explanation is never true. Just like I told you from the beginning, this matter has nothing to do with me. Don't you still believe it until now?" Brayton said.

Indeed, even after seeing and hearing what the maid named Maria said with his own eyes, Arthur still suspected that Brighton had done this, or at least it had something to do with Brighton.

After all, Brighton's appearance from beginning to end was too calm.

Arthur still remembered the surprised but not surprised look on his face when he mentioned to Bryton that the Dixon brothers had been taken away during his first visit. To this day, his look of surprise at that time is still there today. From Arthur's point of view, it can actually be regarded as an accident that Arthur discovered the disappearance of the Dixon brothers.

You know, from the beginning to the end, Arthur never revealed his connection with the Dixon brothers with Brighton.

In other words, Arthur should not have known that the two brothers were missing.

But Brighton has always acquiesced that Arthur and the Dixon brothers are connected. Just imagine, when Arthur and Brighton asked if they knew about the disappearance of the Dixon brothers, shouldn't Brighton's first reaction be The question is, why do you know?
And what was Brighton's answer?Arthur remembered clearly what Brydon said:

'Are you sure they were taken away?Instead of simply wanting to go to a place where no one is and have some quiet time? '

This answer neither denied that the Dickson brothers were kidnapped, but also tried to mislead Arthur in the direction.

To be honest, Arthur didn't actually know these two brothers, and he hadn't even met them.

No matter how you think about it, Brighton's reaction to this matter is really interesting.
