Chapter 193 Scarlett's Visit
Annie leaned against the car window, staring inside without blinking for a full ten seconds.
The big, round, bright eyes flickered abnormally, exuding a ghostly feeling in the dark night, which inexplicably reminded Scarlett of the emoticon package "I will always watch over you".
She got off Mo Ting awkwardly and sat up straight, like a model student who was listening attentively in class.
…
…
Anne followed Scarlett out of Furlow Manor.
The owner of the manor relented and agreed to let Anne and Harrison get married. Harrison then took advantage of the situation and expressed his love for her, hoping to prepare all the wedding arrangements with her.
He spoke with deep affection and sincerity, but Murgad kept adding fuel to the fire and increasing Fuli's bargaining chips.
After much persuasion, the owner finally gave in and agreed to let Anne stay with Harrison for a month.
Anne was worried that Minnie would be punished by the owner because of her, so she took Minnie away as well.
They temporarily left the Fule Manor.
A black car stopped in front of the Jiajia Theater.
As Scarlett got out of the car, Mergard followed closely behind her and called her with a cold face, "Where are my things?"
Scarlett turned around, smiled slightly, took out the pills she had prepared in her pocket and handed them over.
Mergad couldn't wait to take it in his hand, took a closer look at it, but didn't dare to eat it. He frowned, not knowing what to do.
Scarlett smiled and said, "Take the black pill during the day and the white pill at night. Take them for seven days in a row and the poison will be cured."
"Really?" Mergaard asked uncertainly.
Scarlett curled her lips and said, "Believe it or not, it's up to you."
She turned and entered the Jiajia Theater.
Holst and Dzeko walked in last and locked the door as soon as they entered the theater, not giving Mergaard a chance to follow.
Mergaard and Harrison stood outside.
Seeing that Murgaard had been standing there, staring at the pills in his hand, with no intention of leaving, Harrison asked tentatively, "Grandpa, are we leaving?"
Mergad glanced at him, made up his mind, gritted his teeth and swallowed the white pill.
A moment.
He felt a slightly bitter chill rising from his stomach and rushing to his limbs and bones. His chaotic thoughts were shattered, and his mind became extremely clear.
He uttered an "eh," stretched his arms and legs, and a smile gradually formed on his stiff lips. "This medicine is good. I feel much more energetic now. Running around Lanton Street twice is no problem."
Harrison agreed, "That's good. It proves that this medicine is real and Scarlett didn't lie to you."
Murgaard hummed, glancing at the now-closed Jiajia Theater. "Little girl, I don't think she'd dare lie to me! Let's go home. Grandpa wronged you today, making you kneel and fuss. Grandpa promises that in seven days, they'll pay you back double!"
Anne never got out of the car.
She left Froeh Manor under Harrison's name, and in order to hide her tracks, she had no choice but to live in Harrison's house.
Harrison arranged a servant's room for Minnie.
Anne was given a brand new bedroom.
When entering the room.
Anne put her hands behind her back, holding the pistol, and said warily, "I like to sleep alone."
Harrison glanced at her without saying a word, walked into the room, lifted the blanket beside the bed, and a small door was revealed underneath.
About five minutes passed before Harrison opened the door and walked in.
Another person emerged.
Annie took one look and said happily, "Cousin!"
Harrison's home is not far from Lanxi Street.
It's not difficult to dig an underground tunnel.
Anne can use this passage to find Scarlett at any time.
…
…
Scarlett converted the basement of the Jiajia Theater into a staff dormitory.
Anne's beastly husbands all live here.
When they saw Anne appear in front of them safe and sound, they saluted in ecstasy and ran towards Anne, asking her how she was doing and whether she was injured.
Anne answered them one by one.
It had been so long since we last met that tears welled up in her eyes. She had been trying hard to hold them back, despite being strong enough not to cry.
But she didn't expect that her beastly husband would burst into tears while asking questions, and his sobs became more and more intense. She was moved by the atmosphere of reunion after a long separation and crying with joy, and she could no longer hold back her tears and hugged them and cried together.
Nine people cried for almost half an hour before they stopped.
Turn off the lights.
Lie in bed.
They chatted for a while, and when fatigue swept over them and exhaustion enveloped them, they slowly fell asleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was bright outside.
After Anne finished washing up, she went to find Scarlett first.
The house on Dock Street was an old one, and after an entire wall was blown off, it became shaky and leaky everywhere.
Scarlett hired a special decoration team to renovate it.
She lives in the Jiajia Theater with her beastly husband.
It's spacious here and there are many people, so there's no need to worry about accidents.
Today is Monday.
Scarlett is holding a staff meeting in the conference room.
The conference was almost over when Anne arrived.
People walked out in twos and threes, thinking about what Scarlett had said while preparing to open for business.
Annie poked half her head through the crack in the door and called out mischievously, "Cousin?"
In the conference room, nine pairs of eyes looked over at the same time.
Annie was startled for a moment, her heart pounding as she hurriedly greeted, "Hello, eldest brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, third brother-in-law, fourth brother-in-law, fifth brother-in-law, sixth brother-in-law, seventh brother-in-law, and eighth brother-in-law."
The eight people nodded slightly, "Hello, Princess Anne."
Anne was glad that it was Scarlett who was sitting here.
If it were her two cousins, she would have to spend the whole day greeting her brother-in-law.
Scarlett smiled and said, "Come in."
Anne moved and sat next to Scarlett.
Her gaze wandered around the conference table and returned to Scarlett, "Cousin, are you planning to open the shop here until the mission is over?"
Scarlett glanced at the soundproofing device hanging on the door and said, "No, opening the shop is a cover to gather more information. Once we find the twelve wanted criminals, we'll leave."
Anne nodded and rubbed her chest quietly.
She is not good at running a shop.
Fighting is more realistic.
"Cousin, do you have any clues?" Annie continued to ask.
"have."
Scarlett's mind flashed to Frances's face, her next target.
"By the way, Annie, has your light screen shown any hints about the first task these days?" Scarlett looked at Annie, wanting to confirm.
Annie nodded. "Yes. I'm on the fourth mission."
After getting the exact information, Scarlett became more determined about her next idea.
Since this task is common and everyone can refresh the progress in real time, there is no competition.
And with the reminder of this task, people in this task space will be more proactive in dealing with wanted criminals.
This is a good thing.
It can make everyone united against the common enemy.
Even so, Scarlett did not relax and continued to be vigilant every day.
Anne also joined in and went out with Harrison as planned, going shopping together.
They look like a young couple in love.
Just to a place where there is no one.
Both of them were a little helpless.
Harrison said, "Miss Isabel, I have someone else in my heart. I'm sorry."
Annie also said: "Don't worry, I'm not interested in you."
They both breathed a sigh of relief and continued shopping.
Time flies and it’s three days later.
Mergard took the medicine given by Scarlett for three days.
He felt sleepy during the day and energetic at night. This reversal of day and night, coupled with his advanced age, gradually led to a mental breakdown.
He didn't know if it was his problem or the medicine's.
Day 4.
He went to see the doctor with the medicine.
Instead of going to Francis, he went to another clinic.
There were many famous doctors in Langton Street, and Francis was not the only one.
This also indirectly confirms that Mergaard and Francis have no relationship.
then.
night.
Scarlett brought Riley to the door.
