The Secret Code of Monsters

Chapter 66 Ch.66 She doesn’t want people to pity her, she wants people to be afraid

Lei's fate had nothing to do with Roland.

The special point is: when Teresa angrily found a thin necklace and the gemstone brooch she had just hidden today from the cracks of the other party's cabinet (obviously this was just a part that she had not yet had time to take action), the extremely angry young man smiled The heir did not choose to escort her to the police station——

He ordered several young and strong male servants to take the woman down.

Toward the garden.

When she passed by Roland, she knelt on the ground, pulled his trouser legs and begged him for his life.

Roland just stared at the silver candlestick on the table, or the flickering candlelight on it, and slowly wiped the corner of his mouth with a cloth.

'I'm sorry, Miss Lei. ’

So, the desperate woman went to Randolph again.

Her hysterical face gradually became twisted and hideous, and after her words did not receive a response, her begging for mercy quickly turned into abuse.

To Randolph, to Beatrice and Theresa.

She complained that she was taking care of a 'fool', having to wipe her saliva all day long, change her diaper-soaked skirt, and be covered in colorful and difficult-to-clean paint;

Complaining that Teresa is always dissatisfied with her, every day she is either failing here or making mistakes there;

Complaining that as soon as Randolph came home, he only paid attention to his sister, but didn't even look at her...

Then she started threatening again.

If your family has a small status, I'm afraid they might call the police or something...

That doesn't matter anymore.

When the new servant was cleaning the windows, he accidentally fell down and broke his neck...

What can the police say?

Just a regrettable accident.

The maid's 'little status' family will receive a fairly generous compensation from the Taylor family.

"Didn't you say you don't care?"

"'This is Mr. Taylor's family matter', 'This is not how a guest should behave', 'I should not interfere', 'This is not dignified'."

-

I really didn’t have much of a hand in it.

-

That was what Beatrice said herself.

-

You have to let those servants know, publicly.

-

Although the daughter of the Taylor family is a bit inept, not everyone can be easily fooled and bullied.

-

Her brother couldn't stay with her all day, and Teresa might have some small thoughts of her own. What's more, older people are prone to making mistakes.

-

Beatrice had to learn to protect herself, she had to show her face in person.

-

In person, and vulgar, crazy, vicious, and arrogant.

-

She doesn't want to be pitied.

-

She wanted to scare them.

"People who talk duplicity never grow taller."

-

I will grow as tall as a giant.

"You are just a tsundere with cat eyes."

-

This is also a reminder to Randolph.

-

He is not competent enough.

Roland thought so, and so did Randolph.

After 'dealing with' Lei and finishing the meal, Randolph asked Roland to move to the study and thanked him several times.

Of course, this time it’s not just thanks.

He showed a vulnerability that men ‘shouldn’t have’.

In the study room with a bright fireplace, a pale man sat slumped on the sofa, with fear still in his eyes.

"...Betty has never liked anyone disturbing her or following her. Even Teresa got bored of her, so I..."

"I chose that maid, and little Betty reluctantly accepted her..."

"I don't know, I don't know how something like this could happen...She wasn't originally like this..."

Randolph buried his face in his hands and said in a painful tone: "Am I going to lose Betty soon? Roland... I am an unfit brother..."

"It's better to find out in time."

Roland didn't argue too much about 'competence or incompetence', and he also knew that Randolph didn't want comfort: "Mrs. Chloe recently invited a very famous doctor: Edward Snow, have you heard of it?"

Randolph's eyes turned red: "That 'ice and snow' doctor?"

"I can ask Mrs. Chloe to let him come and take a look at Miss Beatrice." Roland nodded slightly: "I heard that he won't stay here for long."

Of course Randolph would.

It was not that he couldn't afford a doctor and he agreed with Roland's suggestion. The reason was obvious.

This exchange is conducive to the promotion of friendship.

"To be honest, there are a lot of people paying attention to you." Randolph rubbed his temples with his fingers, and naturally covered the corners of his eyes with his palms.

He breathed a long sigh of relief, sucked in his sniffing nose, and sighed:

"But you are from the Tribunal, which is different from the Supervisory Bureau. Most people are wary of executive officers - among them, there are many cultists who kill relatives and friends, so it is normal for them to keep a distance."

"It's not like you haven't done these things before."

No one wants Jingui himself or his family to be stabbed in the back one day by the executive next to him.

These guys only have eyes for cultists.

But Randolph didn't care.

The Taylors had been dealing with these people for a generation.

He could patiently make friends with those low-class, unexperienced, arrogant poor people who knew a few tricks, and gave them snacks to do things for him.

But in comparison, he was more willing to use sincerity to make friends with people like Roland Collins.

Because this young man is so interesting that is rarely seen in the world.

He seems to have completely different views and approaches on many things than he does now - including what he just did: letting his Betty show 'the way a master should behave' in public.

This had to make Randolph, a big businessman, feel passionate about curiosity.

Of course, more importantly, it was also because he saved and helped his sister one after another, and because of his words towards Betty——

sincere.

In the next few days, Roland received gifts one after another:

Several boxes of high-end cigars presented by Randolph, and an invitation to a cocktail party from Cherry Chloe - euphemistically called to celebrate his recovery from injury.

At the cocktail party, Roland asked about the ‘Bingxue’ doctor:

At least Mrs. Chloe seemed to have regained some of her energy, which proved that the gentleman was not a quack.

Cherie Chloe was not reluctant.

She had no liking or disliking for Beatrice Taylor herself, but when Roland was involved, the shrewd lady couldn't help but think of the old fox and the little fox in the Taylor family.

It may be too much to say that there are any plans, but it is a certainty that a despicable and immoral businessman wants to use his daughter to implicate an executive.

Completely unaware that she also came from a business family, Cherry Chloe was like a gentle but sarcastic mother, nagging in circles to say bad things about the Taylor family to Roland, especially the kind of 'putting aside the facts, The unreasonable tone of "Let's talk about our guesses" always made Roland feel warm and helpless.

"I can let Snow go, but you have to promise me not to get close to that daughter again!"

There were not many people at the reception, especially since it was not far from the time of the previous "reception attack".

Most of the people had lingering fears, either reporting illness, or missing their unloved children from their families to attend, so the West District had a lot of calm during this period.

"Too close, it's bad for your reputation."

Roland asked the executive what kind of reputation he had, but received a smile from Cherry as if he was taking credit.

Obviously, his actions of rescuing people, coupled with his rare appearance in the world - and his influence in the circle with a certain lady, made Roland different from other executives who were kept at a distance.

But that's all.

"I said something was wrong with the way those women looked at you today."

"The girls are curious about you."

Cherry lightly fanned her face with a spring breeze.

When she and Roland attended side by side, many ladies even came forward to say hello warmly.

Roland teased: "You didn't tell me that she was a married 'girl'."

Cherry's smart eyes scanned the hall, and she said indifferently: "How can it be so easy? Do you think it is as simple as the affair between the cobbler's wife and the broom seller?" She smiled brightly and nodded to the gentlemen and ladies coming and going. He paid his respects, but did not delay chatting with Roland at all.

"How about visiting Taylor's house?"

"Very rich."

"That little fox didn't promise you anything?"

Cherry Chloe knew Randolph's father, Bellows Taylor, and therefore continued to view Randolph as he did about his father.
