Reborn as a small European country

Chapter 67 Family Conflict
Joseph did not leave that night but lived in the Liverpool family manor. For unknown reasons, Aphra’s room was next to him. Perhaps it was a problem of sound insulation, and some of the quarrels that night were being transmitted to Joseph’s ears.

"If Joseph is willing to speak for us, I believe you still have a chance to get the title. After all, you are the eldest daughter of the Liverpool family. According to the current law..."

"Keep your voice down, this is a family matter, how can you bother others and Joseph is just a child."

Child... Joseph was taken aback by this title, and then a different emotion welled up in his heart. It's been a long, long time since no one called him that, past and present!

"Are you willing to watch your title be given to your cousin?"

"Steve is also his own, even if he inherits the title, it doesn't matter, father..."

"Father! Father! Don't you have me and our future in your eyes? I can still live here now, but if the owner here is your cousin, you can guarantee that he will not drive us away?"

"How, how is it possible, he, he probably wouldn't do this!"

Although she is a little simple, Aphra is not a fool. How could she not know the possibility, not to mention small, even a little bit is absolutely not allowed.Aphra doesn't have any ambitions, she just grew up here, and there are too many childhood memories here, she is reluctant to leave and doesn't want to leave.

"Aphra, listen to me, talk to Joseph, if he is willing to speak for us, I believe my father is still willing to respect his opinion."

Adonis also thought very simply. If the Earl of Liverpool died, then Joseph's acceptance of Aphra's invitation could help him say something, but if he wanted to influence the Earl of Liverpool's will for nothing, he might only lead things in a worse direction. go.

"Adonis, we can, we can get out of here."

In the end, Aphra still didn't want to bother Joseph, so she hesitated for a long time before whispering such words, but it was obvious that these words were not what Adonis wanted, and her anger finally accumulated.

"Very well, Aphra, it's not been a day since you wanted to drive me out of the Liverpool family, right? In that case, I'm leaving now!"

bump!
With the sound of closing the door and Afra's soft dissuasion, everything returned to calm again. After a while, there was a faint sob from the next door, and it was obvious that Afra was crying.

At this time, Joseph was in a very complicated mood. He didn't think there was anything wrong with what Adonis did, because the world is so realistic. No matter who Adonis is, all his starting points are to stay here and live better in the future .

Aphra is very kind, but she is obviously not a person who takes care of her family, or she wants to take care of too many things, which makes her indecisive and hesitant.

Maybe she is a good woman, but she is not a good wife, and she is not the princess that Nord needs in the future. Of course, Joseph means that a woman with such a personality is not suitable to be the princess of Nord. A strong woman in government affairs will be in charge.

Joseph has a lazy personality, and a tough princess is most in line with the interests of the Nord Principality, such as a tough woman like British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

In a corner where Joseph didn't know, other people were also talking about Joseph, the envy of the servants, the thinking of the butler, and the conversation between Anne and Aldrich.

Recalling the scene at the racecourse today, Annie said to Aldrich with some anxiety: "My sister gets along very well with him."

As if aware of the uneasiness of his fiancée across the desk, Aldrich stood up beside him and gently hugged her to comfort her: "Joseph will not interfere, and if he interferes, it will only make things worse."

"Why, why am I not Aphra?"

Anne's murmur was referring to her status as the eldest daughter of the Liverpool family. With that status and Aldridge, the fiancé, the Earl's title would definitely fall into her hands, and Aphra's failure was due to her own marriage.

"If you were Aphra, then I wouldn't be your fiancé."

Aldridge disagreed with Anne's words, but what he said was true. There were some facts that Anne did not know. For example, Aphra's marriage was deliberately done by the Earl of Liverpool in order to sever Aphra's succession to the earldom. possible.

Isn't Afra her own daughter?Naturally, it was impossible, but the Earl of Liverpool could not tolerate handing over his family to other people in the future. Although his nephew was far away, he was ultimately a family.

"I am very worried about Adonis. The current situation is not good for him. I am worried that he will do something..."

"I believe Adonis, even if the situation is too bad, he will not do that, and things will not go to that point, your father will give them enough wealth."

Different identities have different considerations. Aldridge said it so easily because he did not stand on the side of Adonis. As the heir to the Duke, would he care about such an earl's title?

Of course he thought so, but he didn't know that his father was also thinking about the Earl of Liverpool. The Duke of Hollis has a very prominent status, but there is one thing to note, he only has one title.

Aldridge also has a younger brother. If Aldridge can inherit the title of Earl of Liverpool, then Aldrich's younger brother will be able to inherit the title of Duke, and the Hollis family will have one more choice in terms of title.

The Earl of Liverpool can also guess this kind of thinking, so he has always been on guard against Aldridge. In comparison, the threat of Yadonis is almost non-existent.

Every big family is so complicated, especially when it comes to inheritance matters, it is normal for a big family to be destroyed in it.

"Wealth? I don't think Adonis will be satisfied, certainly not."

Every time at this time, Aldrich would hate Annie very much, because what he wanted was a wife like Aphra rather than an ambitious woman.

……

"My lord, Mr. Adonis seems to have gone out."

"What is he doing out so late?"

The butler's report made the Earl of Liverpool frown. To be honest, he was [-]% dissatisfied with this son-in-law, otherwise he would not have been ignoring him.

"It seems that there is a small quarrel with Miss Aphra."

The housekeeper naturally knew the specific situation, but he also needed to be careful when he knew Gui knew how to answer. After all, he was a servant, and talking too much would easily arouse the master's resentment.

The Earl of Liverpool is also an old fox, and he can understand the specific situation in one sentence. The family members were so panic-stricken on the first day of Joseph's arrival. I really don't know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Joseph to live here.

"What about the subway project?"

"We have received the news and there should be no big mistakes."

After all, it involves an investment of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. It is impossible for the Earl of Liverpool not to care. It is necessary to inquire about relevant information.
