Sean looked towards the carriage.
The best way to confirm where the carriage comes from is to look at the family crest hanging on the carriage.
The family emblem of this carriage is composed of a rose flower and a large number of wavy lines, which is obviously the emblem of the River family.
Since it is the carriage of the River family, there is a high probability that the person sitting in the carriage is the housekeeper Jessica mentioned who came to sign the contract.
There are only two stewards in the River family, William and Gabe.
Jessica may not be able to control William, so there is a high probability that Gabe, the new butler of the River family, is sitting in the carriage.
Sean analyzed it silently in his heart.
...
Sure enough, after the carriage stopped, a man stepped out, it was the butler Gabe.
At this time, Gabe's brows were furrowed together, and his face didn't look very good.
Gabe was surprised when he saw Sean standing at the door of his residence, and immediately bowed and saluted Sean:
"Dear His Highness Sean, I'm glad to see you again!"
When Gabe bent down to salute, out of the corner of his eye he accidentally saw Rubion who had not yet left.
This surprised him again.
Why is Rubion here?
Could it be that Mr. Lucas and Mr. Sean have some unknown deal?
...
However, Gabe's status in the River family is very low, and even Rubion is much higher than him.
In addition, with Sean standing in front of him, Gabe did not talk to Rubion rashly.
Rubion also had a thoughtful look on his face when he saw Gabe's arrival. However, instead of greeting Gabe, he said goodbye to Sean again and left in a carriage.
...
After the butler Gabe arrived, Sean asked Windsor and Luo Dian to continue waiting in the hall, and he took Gabe into the living room.
After a while of normal pleasantries, Gabe revealed his purpose:
"Dear Your Highness Sean, this is the deed document for the lease of 'Golden Leyden' at 104 York Street.
‘Golden Layden’ is located in a prime location on York Street and has always been one of the most profitable shops of the River Chamber of Commerce... (omit 200 words), I believe you will be satisfied!”
The butler Gabe took out a piece of beautifully wrapped parchment from his bag and handed it to Sean respectfully.
"Sure enough, it's 'Golden Leyden'. It seems Jessica is quite sincere." Sean thought in his mind.
Sean took the parchment and read the terms of the contract carefully.
Different from the loan contract just signed, the terms of the contract document for renting out "Golden Leyden" are much more complicated.
Seeing these complicated terms, Sean frowned slightly.
But the total amount at the end of the contract, the monthly rent that Sean needs to pay is 424 gold coins, which is a little less than Henry estimated.
Seeing the total amount, Sean frowned slightly: "There are a lot of terms in this contract... Gabe, wait a moment, I'll call my butler to take a look."
"As you wish!" Gabe replied immediately.
Sean nodded, called the valet of the residence, and asked the valet to call the butler Henry to the living room.
...
Taking advantage of Henry's absence, Gabe took the initiative to chat with Sean.
Sean also answered Gabe's various questions calmly.
After chatting about some of the beautiful scenery, food, and beauties in the city of Jon, Gabe pretended to be casual and asked:
"Your Highness Sean, I just saw Mr. Lucas's butler Rubion at the door. I wonder why he came to your residence?"
"You're talking about Rubian! Rubian came here and told me the origin of the 'Golden Chicken Leg Fort' and some things about Lucio's childhood." Sean answered honestly.
Gabe: “…”
Seeing that Sean didn't want to answer, Gabe cleverly changed the subject:
"Then can you tell me why Miss Jessica rented the 'Golden Leyden' to you?
After all, ‘Golden Layden’ is one of the most profitable shops under the River Chamber of Commerce, and I really don’t understand why.”
Here it comes! Sean cheered up.
Gabe got close to him just to ask this question!
Sean picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, his face still expressionless:
"Jessica didn't tell you why? It seems like your status in the River family is not high!"
Gabe's face suddenly turned bitter: "I have always wanted to share the worries of the master and miss, but after all, I have only been a housekeeper for five years, so it is normal for me not to be taken seriously.
I thought I would be taken seriously now that I became Miss Jessica's personal butler, but I didn't.
So I want to know Miss Jessica’s true thoughts, Your Highness Sean, can you tell me?”
"How do I know what Jessica is thinking? I'm not her!" Sean smiled and started to change the subject:
"But then again, do you want to gain Jessica's favor?"
"Of course! This is what I've been dreaming about!"
Gabe's tone and expression were very excited, but his eyes remained calm.
After identification, it is an old fox.
Sean mentally labeled Gabe.
So Sean continued to ask: "Do you know who Jessica hates the most?"
Of course Gabe knew that the person Jessica hated most was Brody Mills, but he couldn't say this casually, especially from his mouth.
So Gabe had no choice but to shake his head: "I'm not very clear about this either."
Sean didn’t want to beat around the bush with Gabe and said directly: “Then let’s make a deal!
If you can provide me with Brody Mill's recent developments or information on Water Pine Town, I will help you put in a good word with Jessica at today's dinner.
You don’t need to question me, I am Jessica’s dance partner tonight, and I have many opportunities to say good things to you.”
Gabe didn't expect Sean to be so direct, and couldn't help but be startled.
After some careful consideration, Gabe smiled:
"Deal! I just have a recent update about Brody Mills here, you will definitely be satisfied!"
"Oh? Tell me!" Sean said with interest.
"That's right, Viscount Mill is planning to..."
...
In the next period of time, Gabe told Sean about Brody Mill's recent movements, one of which aroused Sean's great vigilance.
After Gabe finished speaking, Sean's expression became serious: "If what you said is true, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
"Then thank you, Your Highness Sean!" Gabe said.
At this time, the butler Henry also came to the living room.
Sean and Gabe stopped talking and started studying the rental contract.
After Henry confirmed that there was no problem with the contract, Sean formally signed the contract and sent Gabe away from the residence.
...
After Gabe left, Sean took his subordinates in a carriage and rushed to the "Golden Leyden" at 104 York Street.
But different from the original plan, this time Sean not only brought Windsor and Luo Dian, but also three followers: Flame Imp, Void Walker and Silver Squire.
Chapter completed!
