"Father, are you looking for me?" Anna walked into the Earl's study, lifted her skirt, and saluted her father, who was the Earl.
She quietly looked at the Earl's expression and found that his brows were frowned tightly, his face was not pretty, and there was a faint look of anger.
"Father?" Anna tentatively called the count.
The count raised his eyes and glanced at her, suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "When is your wedding?"
Anna was stunned for a moment. She didn't know why her father, who usually ignored her, would ask herself this question. She could only answer the count's question with a low eyebrow: "The wedding is scheduled for their New Year's Eve."
"Did he decide?" The count looked at Anna, his eyes so gloomy that gave Anna a bad feeling.
She looked at her mother, who was standing next to her father. Her mother's face was not good either, her lips were pursed tightly, and she looked like she didn't dare to take a step forward.
Anna had no choice but to answer bravely: "Yes, he said this is the tradition here, and he deliberately chose a good day."
"Huh." The count snorted and continued to flip through the materials in his hand, and suddenly found a small dozen photos in the document bag.
He took it out and looked at it carefully, his face changed drastically, and then he looked at the paper in his hand just now.
Anna heard her count father's heavier breathing and frowning, and she felt faintly that a storm was coming.
"Is this the good husband you are looking for?" The count threw a dozen thick documents in front of Miss Anna.
Anna looked up at her father who was blushing in confusion, not knowing what she had done to make him angry.
"Take a good look for yourself, what is that man?" The Count looked at Anna's innocent look and became even more angry.
Anna tremblingly picked up the documents that Tamluo had laid on the ground and looked at them one by one.
Later, Anna couldn't help but widen her eyes, and said to the count with a cry: "Father, I really didn't know he was such a person, father."
The count suppressed his anger and looked at Anna: "This is the man you chose yourself. The whole family doesn't understand him as well as you do. What's the use of saying this now?"
"I..." Anna kept shaking her head. He looked at his angry father and his mother for help.
When the countess saw her daughter pleading, her heart almost broke. She hurriedly walked forward, got close to the count, and whispered: "Anna had no choice but to do this. After all, such a thing happened."
"Do you still have the nerve to say that?" The count glared at her fiercely, "Is this the good daughter you trained? You've lost all my face."
"Anna is excellent. The fault is with the Irving family. Yes, it's all Irving and his wife's fault." The Countess seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw and desperately poured dirty water on the Irvings.
"You can just talk about this at home. If you dare to let people outside know about it, you know what the consequences will be."
The earl stared at his wife with wide eyes.
The countess spoke with interest and curled her lips with some disdain: "The Owen family has only grown up in the past few years. They have only empty positions and not even a title. When Owen and the others die, their good-for-nothing son will not be
A beggar?"
Seeing the count looking at her, the countess said even more happily: "Otherwise, their family wouldn't be able to imagine that Kessef can marry Anna?"
"That's enough, stop talking!" the count interrupted her tirade.
The Countess was stunned for a moment: "Am I right?"
"What's right? Don't you look at it now. Apart from this title, what else do we have left?"
The count could not restrain his anger and vented his anger on the countess.
"No wonder Anna is where she is today. It is still inseparable from your contribution." The count said viciously.
The countess also got angry: "What is my problem? If you hadn't supported navigation in the first place, how could we have ended up in this situation?"
When this matter was mentioned, the count's aura instantly weakened a bit.
When he started sailing, he expressed his disapproval, so he did not provide financial assistance, so he was gradually marginalized, making his already small position even more dispensable.
But the Owens and his wife are different. They strongly support navigation, so now in the concession, the actual status of the Owens and his wife is much higher than that of the earl.
But what's the use of regret? He couldn't go back ten years ago and say that he supported navigation, so he could only rely on his own daughter to get married.
But it happened that Kessef was not controlled by the Owens and his wife. He refused the marriage proposed by Mrs. Owens and openly disgraced Anna at the ball.
Originally, the earl had already planned to give up on the marriage route. He just wanted to keep his title and find a good family for Anna to maintain his status.
Misfortunes never come singly. An hour after Anna and Kesef disappeared, they were caught and raped in bed by the Countess and Mrs. Owen. Not only people from the two families knew about it, but there were many other wives present at the time. This matter had already spread in the concession.
, unless Kasef is willing to marry Anna, it will be almost impossible for Anna to find a good family in the concession.
Just at this time, Dou Zhun appeared. He openly expressed his willingness to marry Anna. And although he was not French, he was still a police chief and a respectable figure. Anna would not be disadvantaged by marrying him.
.
But today he found a thick document bag in the mailbox at his door. When he opened it, he found all the materials about Dou Zhun's persecution of his wife, not only the death certificate of his wife, but also the corpse certificates one after another.
.
The count really couldn't imagine that his daughter Nana would become the same as the female corpse in the photo. Just imagining it for a moment almost made the count go crazy.
"No matter what I do, you are not allowed to marry him! You are going to die!" the count yelled at Anna.
Anna lowered her head and said nothing, holding tightly in her hands the photos and documents that the Earl had just thrown in front of her.
"Don't do this to Anna." Seeing that what she just said had hit the earl, the countess couldn't help but get a little more aggressive and challenged the earl.
This was the first time that the countess had contradicted the earl like this. The earl was stunned for a moment and angrily said: "Am I wrong? Do you hope that Anna will marry and become the second Yanyan?"
The countess had been furious just now, but after being yelled at by the count, she calmed down and shook her head submissively.
When the count saw that the lady had surrendered, he didn't intend to argue too much with a woman like her. He walked up to Anna and said, "Do you understand?"
Anna bit her lower lip tightly, looked up at the count's father's serious expression, and nodded reluctantly.
"You..." The count saw Anna's reluctance, raised his hand, pointed at Anna, and shook his sleeves fiercely, as if he hated iron.
