"Does that hot spring really relieve fatigue and whiten the skin?" Mrs. Smith did not agree immediately, but asked curiously.

A pair of eyes full of crow's feet but with a bit more charm, sparkling with expectation.

No woman would not care about her skin, especially an older woman.

"I don't know. I haven't tried it. But Luther promised it solemnly, so it should be possible." Alice shrugged. If she were in front of others, she would definitely lie with her eyes open, but in front of the grandmother who loved her the most, she told the truth.

"Maybe it's just a gimmick." Mrs. Smith obviously lacked trust in Luther, whom she had never met, but she also felt that if it was used as a gimmick, it would be okay.

At least Mrs. Smith, although skeptical about the therapeutic effects of the hot springs, decided to go and take a bath in the resort if it opened.

"Okay, if there's a party or a girlfriends' event soon, I'll promote it." Mrs. Smith patted the back of Alice's hand and promised.

Regardless of whether the hot spring has therapeutic effects or not, it can be used as a publicity gimmick. The key is that the vacation model, hotel model, and party social model of the hot spring resort are all very good.

It is a great place for vacation for the idle nobles.

In this case, the therapeutic effect of hot springs is actually meaningless. For the nobles, socializing and accumulating connections are the most important.

Besides, Mrs. Smith really loves Alice very much. When she looks at Alice, she will think of her own daughter who died young. She feels both love and distress for her.

Since Alice had invested all her belongings into this, she had to help.

But helping out is helping out, and Mrs. Smith is also very interested in the development of a metropolis. Mrs. Smith asked, "Luther, does Pompeii really have the ability to develop a metropolis?"

She admitted that with the help of the Morgan family, Alice, and Kuba Brown, the resort project had a high chance of success.

However, he was skeptical about the Pompeii family's plan to develop a metropolis.

That involves issues in all aspects, not just financial resources, but also influence and political issues.

"I think the possibility is still very high. My father is a mediocre baron and will not stop his subordinates from rising. Besides, my father has a very good relationship with the contemporary Pompeii knight, Sol Pompeii. If the Pompeii family really wants to become a top knight family, or even a noble family, he doesn't care. On the contrary, because of the relationship between the two families, if the Pompeii family rises, it will also be good for the Patton family. It will allow the Patton family to gain more say in Orange. It is politically feasible. As for the issues of influence and financial resources, I trust Luther Pompeii more. This guy is an excellent lord."

At this time, Alice lost many of her little girl's behavior and transformed into a female politician, analyzing the situation in a clear and logical manner.

Mrs. Smith still trusts Alice's judgment. She is good at observing people, especially men.

While men were dazzled by her appearance and charm, she had already seen a man from inside out.

This was her granddaughter, the famous Miss Alice Barton.

"Now that you say that, I have a strong interest in the development of the metropolis of Pompeii." Mrs. Smith said with narrowed eyes.

As the current main power holder of the Habsburg family, Mrs. Smith has always had a strong interest in making money.

The development of a metropolis is definitely not something that can be accomplished with just capital. If Orange Group develops a resort, it will indeed have unlimited potential in the future.

However, since the resort has invested 1.3 million gold coins, the Orange Group will not be able to come up with too many gold coins in a short period of time.

At most, they could set aside the annual profits for urban development. Coupled with the strength of the Pompeii family, developing a city would still be like a turtle, and the speed would be very slow.

More capital must be brought in.

And the profit from developing a city, haha.

"There should be a plan to introduce capital by then. Perhaps this plan will be implemented when the hot spring resort opens. After all, there should be a lot of wealthy people from Orange flocking in at that time."

Alice revealed the secret to Mrs. Smith.

"It seems I should go even more." Mrs. Smith said with a chuckle.

After talking about business, Mrs. Smith turned her attention to the Patton family.

"By the way, I heard that not long ago, your Barton family's first vassal, the heir of the Gandal family, was murdered. How is the investigation going now?"

Mrs. Smith asked.

When she heard the news, Mrs. Smith was really shocked because she heard that her lovely granddaughter Alice was also present.

"There has been very little progress in the investigation. Poor Mousse and Gandal died in vain." Alice shook her head. Although she said poor Mousse and Gandal, there was no sadness on Alice's face.

Because she is not very familiar with Mousse and Gandal, the proud Miss Alice will not be sad about this.

"I think this matter has something to do with your excellent brother," said Mrs. Smith.

"Lucy, Barton?" Alice narrowed her eyes slightly, like a cunning fox.

"Babana, although Knight Gandalf has several children, he is his only son. If Knight Gandalf has no heir, then who will inherit the title?" asked Mrs. Smith.

"Babana, Gandaor has a younger brother." Alice said, and then without Mrs. Smith's analysis, she said: "And that younger brother, sir, has a very harmonious relationship with my brother Lucy, Barton. And if my outstanding brother wants to compete for the position of heir, getting the support of Knight Gandaor will be a very powerful help."

"But that's all just speculation on your part, Granny."

Alice looked up at Mrs. Smith.

"Speculation is the beginning of reality." Mrs. Smith smiled and shook her head. At this moment, she seemed like a wise man who had experienced many hardships.

"By the way, are you not interested in the title of Baron family? If you are interested, I will support you in becoming a baroness."

Mrs. Smith said half jokingly, half seriously.

This world is a very strange world. The nobility inherits by primogeniture, and the second son has little chance, but the eldest daughter usually gets a share.

If Alice has a powerful force behind her and she is a strong female knight, she has a certain chance of becoming a baroness.

Just like the famous Marquise of Tulips.

"I'm not interested in ruling a territory." Miss Alice shrugged rudely, expressing her disdain.

"Oh." Mrs. Smith sighed and expressed her regret.
