All the contract girls want to marry me

Chapter 140 Insight

Matthew was speechless.

What is this?

The Marquis of Bourne did not refuse, but he still could not get married openly.

Aishanya is not a child, will she disappear inexplicably?She must be hiding.

Matthew instantly thought of a possibility. As long as he couldn't wait any longer and took the initiative to terminate the engagement, the Bourne family would not have to bear the infamy of regretting the marriage and would not offend him.

That's because Matthew himself can't wait, not because the Bourne family is unwilling to execute the engagement.

Surante bit his lip and reminded: "Matthew, it is not easy to find Miss Aishania. We still entrust..."

"no need!"

Matthew said decisively: "Since the other party is unwilling, we don't have to force it. Can't I find a wife?"

"Of course not!" Surante raised his voice and said decisively.

Matthew thought for a moment and wrote a reply to the Marquis of Bourne.

In this letter, he very politely expressed his condolences and sympathy to the Marquis of Bourne, and promised that he would help find Aishania.At the same time, he also proposed additional terms. If Miss Aishania still does not show up after one year, the engagement will be invalid.

Looking at what Matthew wrote, Surant nodded.

Sometimes, rejection also requires skills.

The Bourne family was unwilling to fulfill the engagement, so they hid their daughter so that they would not have to fulfill the engagement, and both parties would have a decent way to step down without causing bitterness and hatred.

Matthew understood this and did not insist on it hysterically.

As he said, with Matthew's strength and status, is it difficult to find a wife?Of course it's not difficult.

She just couldn't figure out why the Bourne family was so unfavorable to Matthew.

After all, Matthew is the person chosen by the Lord of Holy Light, and he is still an elector. Even if he cannot run for emperor, he is still an important political force in the empire. He also defeated the Hoffenhager family not long ago, showing off his strong muscles.

Why would the Bourne family give up on such a high-quality stock?

Surante quickly put his worries behind him.There is no shortage of idiots in this world, and there is no point in trying to understand idiots.Since the Bourne family wants to give up this gold mine, let's give up.

Surante said with a smile: "Since the Bourne family has given up the engagement, we have to find a new target for you."

If it had been a few months ago, Matthew would have declined in a reserved manner, and then said nonsense about the fact that the engagement was not yet terminated.But after these few months of training, Matthew's face is much thicker than before.

He nodded and said softly: "That's it..."

"Leave it to me!"

Matthew originally wanted to find a suitable target through other channels, but Surante had already spoken, so naturally he couldn't refuse.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you. I can rest assured that you can handle the matter. Remember, I would rather find a commoner girl without a title than an aristocratic girl with a too big background."

"Don't worry, I know your mate selection criteria very well." Surante pursed his lips and chuckled, preparing to leave.

Before getting up to leave, she remembered something else.

"By the way, Andre said that his father will come to have a secret meeting with you in the near future. He didn't say anything specific."

After sending Surante away, Matthew fell into deep thought.

Andre's father, D'Alembert Dawson, was the speaker of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. During his 30 years of managing the Chamber of Commerce, the Dawson Chamber of Commerce grew from a local chamber of commerce active in the Clare Empire to the world's top chamber of commerce. .

This is a legendary businessman.

There are many businessmen who can make money, but Mr. Dawson has a skill that no one else has, and that is looking at people.

He is both accurate and inaccurate in his judgment of people.

He has made many investments, and it cannot be said that he has never lost money. However, in terms of personal investments, he has been successful in all of them.

He has supported three princes and a prince of the empire, which proves his accuracy in judging people.

However, after the investment was successful, he did not get the return he deserved.

The three kings and one emperor he invested in all couldn't wait to part ways with him after their marriage.

From this point of view, it seems that he is not very accurate in reading people.

In short, Matthew was full of curiosity about this legendary businessman and was a little more looking forward to the upcoming meeting.

While he was waiting for Mr. Dawson to arrive, another piece of good news came.

Andre sent someone to sneak into the Misty Islands secretly and brought out Shaw and his son.

Medith is reunited with her husband, son and family.Seeing their family hugging each other with joy, Matthew sighed in his heart.

For Mr. Bernard Shaw, the separation from his wife was only ten years, but for Medith, they were separated for 500 years.

Matthew did not put any additional requirements on them, he just asked them to hide their identities and live in seclusion at the designated location.

For Bernard Shaw, being able to meet his wife was beyond expectations, and of course there would be no objection.

A week later D'Alembert Dawson paid a secret visit.

Although Matthew thought about many possibilities of meeting, he was still stunned after meeting Mr. D'Alembert for the first time.

The mainland's number one businessman should be in his 50s, but he looks very young, almost the same as Andre.

This is not simply about being well maintained, but about being truly young.

Looking at Matthew's surprised look, D'Alembert smiled and said: "Master Matthew, don't be surprised. I have a lot of wealth, and it is not difficult to make myself younger."

This is true, although money cannot buy time, it can extend the quality of life.

Mathieu very politely invited d'Alembert to the small living room on the fifth floor. Surante poured tea for them and left quickly, leaving the living room to them.

Mr. d'Alembert was very talkative, with a very pleasant voice and a characteristic sense of humor.

Although he knew he was testing, Matthew still felt like a breath of fresh air.

He is indeed the leading businessman in mainland China, and he really knows the art of speaking.

Matthew knew very well that it was really difficult for him to confront such an old fox in conversation.After listening for a while, he chose to get straight to the point.

"Mr. d'Alembert, you and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce have given me a lot of help. Mr. Andre also tried his best in the defense of Lundebell."

"I am not an ungrateful person. I will always remember all your help to me. I am different from those white-eyed wolves you invested in before."

Matthew looked at D'Alembert candidly and said seriously: "Mr. D'Alembert, no matter what ideas or requests you have, as long as they do not conflict with my core interests, I will do it."

Matthew’s words were generous, but they also set a framework for this generosity.

If it goes beyond the framework, it's not that he doesn't agree, but that it conflicts with his interests.

Of course D'Alembert knew this little trick.

He pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, suppressed his smile, and asked in a deep voice: "Master Matthew, with all due respect, I would like to ask you a question before we start talking."

"Please say."

"What is your goal?" D'Alembert's eyes were particularly bright, flashing with a strange look.

Matthew said without thinking: "Becoming the emperor of the Clare Empire will give this ancient empire a second spring."

He had already told Andre that he wanted to be emperor, which was equivalent to telling d'Alembert.If that's the case, why bother covering it up?

He was an elector, and it made perfect sense to want to be emperor.

D'Alembert was stunned for a few seconds, then put his right hand on the edge of the frame, his expression even more surprised.

This pair of glasses is a treasure that he spent a lot of money to build. If the other person speaks insincerely or lies, [True Sight] will tighten the temples of the glasses to remind him.

However, there was no prompt from [True Vision] just now. In other words, Matthew was telling the truth.

He sighed in disbelief: "Master Matthew is really frank."

Matthew looked at him in surprise and asked in confusion: "I told Mr. Andre about this, didn't he tell you?"

D'Alembert's expression instantly changed wonderfully.

Wait, this bastard actually hid something so important from his father?

Sure enough, the child has grown up, has become ambitious, and has secrets in front of his father.

Looking at D'Alembert's expression, Matthew soon knew that Andre had kept a secret in front of his biological father.

Faced with Andre's actions, he didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was a little stiff, Matthew quickly explained: "You can't blame him. It was me who asked the participants to keep it confidential."

After all, D'Alembert was a smooth man. Since Matthew gave him the steps, he would of course climb down them.

He smiled and said: "Well, since Matthew is so honest about beating people, there is no need to be secretive about what he says next. With your strength, you will definitely need a lot of money to be the emperor, right?"

Matthew suddenly realized that Mr. d'Alembert was here for additional investment.

This is of course a good thing, but the other party is the president of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce after all.In business, how many chips can he offer in exchange?

Matthew's expression gradually became serious, and he asked seriously: "Mr. d'Alembert, of course I am willing to cooperate with you. But before the negotiation begins, I want to ask, why me?"

D'Alembert also suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "You should know that I have invested four times before, both successfully and failed."

Mathieu nodded, and in order to avoid the other party having difficulty speaking, he simply said directly: "Mr. d'Alembert, I can perform a blood oath."

"After being deceived four more times, do you think I will still believe in my oath?" D'Alembert's smile was a bit more teasing.

Matthew didn't speak, he was waiting for the other party's real conditions.

D'Alembert said in a deep voice: "I have eyes that can see through luck. So my investment will always be successful. But even this pair of eyes cannot see through people's hearts, so I can't recover the cost after the investment is successful."

Matthew nodded in agreement.

It’s so normal that people’s hearts are separated from each other.

Looking at Matthew's calm eyes, D'Alembert knew very well that Matthew would not accept the deal if he did not show his real trump card.

Although Matthew's bottom line has always been flexible, he has never been vague on issues of principle.

D'Alembert sighed: "I can see other people's fortunes clearly, but I can't see you clearly. So I decided to make one last bet, on both your fortunes and mine."

Chapter 141 Marriage Requirements

D'Alembert's judgment did not surprise Mathieu.

It's normal to not be able to see his luck clearly.

He is the person chosen by the goddess of fate, and mortal eyes must not be able to see through his fate.If d'Alembert said that he could see Matthew becoming emperor or someone else in the future, that was mostly nonsense.

D'Alembert directly said that he could not see through his luck, which made Matthew think that he was being honest.

Looking at Matthew's calm expression, D'Alembert knew that there was nothing wrong with his judgment.

"Master Matthew, I know you are short of money and troops now, and I can give you all of these."

Matthew did not doubt the strength of the Dawson Chamber of Commerce. As long as they needed it, they could organize more than 10 private soldiers and hire a large number of mercenaries.

Facing the olive branch offered by d'Alembert, he did not rush to accept it, but asked calmly:

"Mr. d'Alembert, there is one thing I still don't understand. With the strength of you and the Dawson Chamber of Commerce, it wouldn't be difficult to destroy a small country and replace it, right?"

"If coupled with your strong financial resources, it is easy to expand the territory, why do you have to invest precious resources in others? Direct possession of power and indirect possession are not the same thing."

Mathieu understood some of the truth, and so did D'Alembert.

Mathieu's meaning was very clear. He and d'Alembert were the only ones here today. He might as well make it clear that he had concerns about the province's cooperation.

There was a rare sincerity in Dawson's eyes. He smiled and said, "Master Matthew, if I said this is the ancestral teaching of the family and the guidance of the goddess of fate, would you believe it?"

"Of course I believe it, why not?" Matthew calmly accepted d'Alembert's explanation.

Although this explanation sounds a bit weird and does not conform to the behavioral logic of ordinary businessmen, it is probably true because this explanation does not sound very credible.

Since we want to cooperate, everything that needs to be said must be said first. Matthew was not dazzled by the favorable conditions offered by D'Alembert. He continued to ask very calmly: "Mr. D'Alembert, we have gone around in many circles. But you still didn’t mention your request.”

D'Alembert hesitated for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and said: "If you really become the new emperor of the empire, can the Dawson family become the hereditary ducal family of the empire?"

So all you want is a duke?What a condition this is.If Matthew can transform from an earl to an emperor, the Dawson family will definitely have to pay a very high price, and a mere duke is nothing.

He solemnly said: "Mr. Dawson, I can't give you an exact promise without what happened. But I will fairly distribute the titles according to merit. If the contribution of the Dawson family is worth a king, I will not be stingy. .”

Matthew's answer was very tactful.

If he directly agrees to give the other party a duke, it means that the Dawson family can get the reward no matter how much they pay. Since they can get benefits no matter how much they pay, they may draw a line at some point.
