Chapter 337 I Really Thought They Were a Couple
Not long after Robert was arrested, the news came out. Although no names were mentioned, various hints made the wealthy people in the same circle quietly eat melons about William's family, especially the various relatives of the royal family. Some were there to watch the show out of pure gossip, while others scolded William's family for affecting their reputation.
Duke William was so angry that he couldn't eat and hid at home, not daring to go out.
Mrs. William didn't even dare to cry and raised her grandson quietly.
Their nephew Eds took Link into the room to celebrate secretly.
Seeing her husband so excited, Lin Ke hummed, "Edes, you are where you are today because of me and my family. When you inherit your uncle's family business in the future, you must help my family."
Edes was puzzled. "This is the police's work. What does it have to do with you? Could it be... that you called the police?"
"Yes, I have a cousin who works at the police station. He told me that the prison keeps DNA samples of every criminal. This is to make it easier to re-arrest someone who escapes. All they have to do is test their DNA."
"Then how are you sure that Lianna is Nian Yuxue? Even Lu Lou might not be sure!"
"It wasn't that easy. I sneaked into Lianna's bedroom, picked up the long hair from the bathroom drain, and took it to the police. I told them I suspected an internationally wanted criminal was in my house and offered to pay for a DNA test. It's not like I can't afford it."
Edes gave his wife a thumbs-up and pulled her into his arms, warming her. "Lin Ke, you're such a lucky woman for your husband. Thank you for getting rid of my rival."
Lin Ke raised the corner of her mouth. "It's enough to know my good side, but don't let your guard down. Although your uncle's son is in prison, even if he is released in the future, for the sake of the William family's reputation, your uncle will not hand over the entire family business to him. You should be wary of your little nephew. Although his mother is a wanted criminal, he is still young, the grandson of the iron-clad Duke William."
Edes sneered, "That little one was born prematurely. I don't know if he can survive and grow up."
…
Carol has been quietly following what has happened in the past few days.
Her elder sister-in-law Lianna was indeed the female criminal Nian Yuxue who escaped from Jinghai prison as mentioned by Lu Lou, and she was also someone Lu Lou knew.
Thinking back from this result, if we think that Lu Lou took the initiative to help her out and proposed a marriage agreement, there is nothing Carol doesn't understand.
Perhaps, the truth is that Lianna’s current situation is actually due to Lu Lou’s behind-the-scenes support.
Part of what Lu Lou said to her in the garden that day was the script they had already agreed on. Only the part about Lianna and Nian Yuxue was something Lu Lou did not inform her of in advance.
She is the chess piece that Lu Lou uses to bring Nian Yuxue to justice.
"There's nothing wrong with being a chess piece. She has always been a chess piece." Carol said with a hint of self-mockery. She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to go find Duke William who was resting.
Duke William looked very haggard, as if he was ill, but he was actually very angry. Last night, Carol heard her father break a vase in the study.
"Carol, what's the matter?" Duke William was in a bad mood and looked at everyone with impatience.
Facing her father's disdainful gaze, Carol said, "Dad, I want to move out and find a job."
"Why do you suddenly want to move again?" Duke William frowned.
Carol's tone was still so gentle and patient as she explained, "Father, I'm already married and should move out. Besides, I would feel guilty if I continued to be a parasite at home. I hope to be able to support myself. Although I can't help you, I won't hold you back either."
Duke William couldn't help but feel a little touched when he heard these words. If only Robert could be so considerate of him as a father. Even if he was incompetent, at least he wouldn't drag him down. But now he is not only incompetent but also brings shame to him.
"Are you willing, Lu Lou, to go out and work?" Duke William thought that a rich kid like that would not like his wife to show up in public.
Carol's strategy of coping freely, she whispered in shame: "Actually, Alou prefers women with successful careers. If I continue to do nothing, he might not like me anymore."
"In that case, you can go out and work. You have to listen to him about what kind of job you choose. If he doesn't arrange for you to join his company after he makes a decision, come to me and I will arrange a position for you in the company."
"Thank you, Father." Carol pretended to be very happy and thanked him profusely.
It was clear as day in my heart that my father did this just to maintain the relationship with the Lu family so that he could do business.
She was never his daughter, the link to his business.
But she no longer wanted to be this bond.
"Mr. Lu, I just mentioned this to my father, and he agreed that I could move out. Let's move out."
After returning from Duke William's place, Carol told Lu Lou about this matter, and then began to pack her luggage.
"So soon?" Lu Lou was quite surprised. Although he also wanted to move out, he planned to pretend to do so so as to avoid suspicion.
Without him and Shi An's behind-the-scenes operation, there was no way the Edes couple would have been able to obtain Nian Yuxue's DNA sample through the police so quickly for comparison.
Nian Yuxue's DNA samples in Jinghai were obtained by Shen Shian through his uncle. Then, Shen Shian personally flew to Country M with the samples and further cooperated with the Country M police to come up with the results.
"Haven't you achieved your goal? Why don't you leave? Do you really want to live here? My father will really think we are husband and wife." Carol suppressed the bitterness in her heart and raised a beautiful smile.
