Entering Earl Campbell's house, in the living room, Baron Bernard looked at this man with the same lion-hearted blood as Earl Redger with fear. He lowered his head and was speechless.
"What are you doing here? I told you that this is not the time for you to come to see me. Wang Ting will send someone here recently. There is no work-related contact between you and me. Coming here to visit suddenly will cause some problems.
People misunderstood.”
Baron Bernard wiped his cold sweat and whispered: "Lord Campbell, something happened. I arranged for Wells (Bernard's son) to go to the tribe to find someone to make a deal, but now things seem to have become troublesome.
Baron Heloise led by Lancaster sent people to capture the small tribe and found the caravan and Wells trapped there. Now they have been handed over to the Noble Council.
Judging from the current situation, this misunderstanding is huge, and Wells may not be able to come out easily. I have severe heart palpitations, so I came to you for advice?"
Earl Campbell, who was sitting in front of the mahogany table, knocked on the table, a stern look flashed in his eyes, and he gently touched the crystal ball on the table. An invisible ripple quietly unfolded, and then he said coldly:
"You can't handle this kind of thing well, and you even got Wells and the Chamber of Commerce team involved. Bernard, don't let me question your ability."
Baron Bernard wiped the sweat from his face and said in a low voice:
"But I'm afraid this matter has been investigated by the Noble Council. What kind of reply should I give next?
The council is not a vegetarian. They have been trying to seize the leverage of the major nobles for a long time.
Wells is your child, if you don't take action, it will be difficult for me to withstand the pressure from the Council."
Earl Campbell, who was wearing a white robe and western clothes, snorted coldly and said:
"My child, Wells is your child, what does it have to do with me? But...as his father, you should know best what kind of person he is.
I won't get too involved in this matter, but I think whoever is involved must get to the bottom of it. Wells is currently in the custody of the Noble Council. This kind of thing should be left to professionals to evaluate.
."
Baron Bernard didn't understand what it meant for a while, but after a moment, an electric current seemed to suddenly pass through his body. His body trembled slightly and he whispered:
"You are right. There was nothing wrong with Wells's matter. What he committed was nothing more than financial problems caused by dealing with a group of inappropriate clients."
Earl Campbell nodded, knowing that Earl Bernard understood what he meant, and then said:
"If this matter is exposed, the people on the Noble Council will definitely take it very seriously. You must give a clear conclusion as soon as possible so that I can have an explanation."
"Okay, I'll go back and deal with this matter right away."
Earl Campbell seemed to have remembered something again, and said casually: "There is a very famous businessman in several large chambers of commerce in the west of your city, named Sa, Sa..."
"Hey, my name is Sac, Sac Florence, the owner of the Florence Chamber of Commerce."
"I heard that this person is very capable, and he seems to have some kinship with you."
"Well, he is my son-in-law, and he is also a man with a business mind. However, recently, he seems to be getting closer to those wealthy businessmen."
"Ah, he is indeed a man with business acumen..." Earl Campbell said to him with an incomprehensible smile on his face.
"I understand, I must handle the matter properly." Baron Bernard looked at him, and both of them showed meaningful smiles.
After leaving the count's house, the rushing carriage quickly headed to the Florence Chamber of Commerce under Bernard's urging.
Bernard, who was sitting in the carriage, had no trace of dissatisfaction and jealousy on his face until now.
He actually didn't like Wells, because in the early years, in order to successfully climb the path to Earl Campbell's family, he dedicated his wife to Earl Campbell early.
As a woman with elf blood, even after more than ten years, my wife still has the face of a girl and the charm of a married woman.
This was once something he was proud of, but now these things are gone.
Of course, it's not right to say this. It was he who ignored his wife's pleas and chose to sacrifice her to Earl Campbell.
Although no one admitted this publicly, privately, his wife became more charming because of Earl Campbell's repeated development.
Especially after she gave birth to a child for Earl Campbell, she originally looked at his wife with pleading and even hateful eyes, but now there is no reflection of him in her eyes.
Whenever Earl Campbell announced a private banquet, she would always put on clothes that she had never been willing to wear before she started her career, dress herself up carefully, and then go to the banquet early.
Ten hours after each banquet, she would drag her exhausted body back home. At that time, she would always have an unprecedented smile of satisfaction on her face.
Sometimes they would even look at him with pity and say, "Lionheart's bloodline is really great, he is indeed much more powerful than a guy like you." Then as he spoke, his face would show infatuation.
Crazy smile.
Thinking of this, the expression on his face became even more ugly.
This bitch, I gave you to someone else to pave the way for our future, but now that you are sitting on top of him, it is even more intolerable.
Obviously Baron Bernard will not reflect on the actions he has committed. On the contrary, he now has new ideas.
For example, let the slave merchant find a half-elf girl for himself.
The girl arranged by the slave trading company before was good. She was younger than my wife, had a similar appearance and a nice voice.
Thinking about it now, when he held her down, he seemed to be able to experience the feeling of riding on his wife back then - he also used similar techniques to get his wife back then.
Oh, so what if you climbed up to Earl Campbell? Now that you are younger, you are still obediently crawling under me.
Even though he knew that such thoughts were morbid and false, he would still try to comfort himself. It was all because of that bitch's betrayal.
Then he searched for the time in the new woman when they were still a loving couple.
Maybe there was regret in my heart, but it doesn't matter anymore.
There are always gains and losses in life. For example, now, he has gained money and lost his worries.
Soon as the carriage stopped, the Florence Chamber of Commerce arrived.
