C255 I believe in you once more (2/2)
After Fiona picked up her bag and left gracefully, Charles did not seem to have any intention of leaving. Logue seemed to have never liked his cold second brother, so he said calmly, ”Charles, are you still not ready to leave?”
His slender fingers shook the red wine in the crystal glass, and his lips formed a smile. He took a sip of the red wine, then said, ”Logue, when you decide to accept the marriage contract with the Kris, that means you're on Fiona's side, right? Do you want me to go against you?”
”I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in a free-for-all between you two. Accepting Chris' marriage is just for the clan's glory and their bloodline's innocence!” Roger's tone was filled with extreme disgust. He was extremely disgusted with the title of clan he carried on his back that would have been considered dazzling to outsiders, but he could not choose to take it or not. This was because when he was born, this symbol had long since been imprinted in his fate.
”Then why did you agree? ”You know very well that if I were to marry the young lady of the Kris clan, it would be extremely important for me to inherit the clan.”
Suddenly, Charles could no longer hold himself back and threw the glass in his hand. After the clear sound of glass shattering, scarlet splattered onto the floor. However, this was in line with his sinister expression at that very moment. When he had deliberately wanted to eliminate Huangfu Yun, the biggest joke of the clan, and the most powerful threat, he had allowed Fiona to take advantage of this opportunity to change the mind of the Kris clan, who had originally wanted to be engaged to him. This was the biggest mistake Charles could not forgive himself for.
The room was filled with the fragrance of red wine. Logue smiled at Charles, who looked like an ugly devil, and said, ”Why, Charles, we all know who the real successor is. It's just that our family doesn't want to admit it.
”Are you talking about Huangfu Yunyin? Logue, are you crazy!? ” Charles had a sudden urge to crush Logue to death.
”Isn't it? ”Charles, maybe the way you and Fiona fought each other until their heads bled is because in Huangfu Yunyun's eyes, you guys are just performing a monkey show for him to see!” Logue said contemptuously.
”Damn you!” Charles couldn't bear it any longer, clenching his fists and waving them at Logue.
Logue dodged to the side, dodging Charles' punch. He did not retaliate, but instead coldly gave the order to get out of the room, ”It's getting late, I want to rest. Shouldn't you go back now?”
”Logue, you were the one who wanted to get involved. When the time comes, don't blame me! Just stay by Fiona's side! ” After saying that, Charles got up and slammed the door.
The room finally quietened down. Logue was slumped on the sofa, his energy drained completely. He laid himself flat on the soft sofa, his eyes wide open as he stared at the exceptionally luxurious crystal lamp on the ceiling. His vision blurred a little. He did not want to be involved in the dispute between Charles and Fiona, nor would he be anyone's pawn, because the idea of not giving in to the family was still in his mind.
”Ding dong …”
There was another ring of the doorbell, and Logue got a little impatient. He got up from the sofa and walked towards the door.
Opening the door, he took a glance at the person standing at the door and was so shocked that he could not hide his grin. He then revealed a brilliant smile, ”Claude …”
Claude stood at the door and looked at the young man's face. He joked, ”Why, looking at your impatience, do you not welcome me?”
”Oh, not really!” With Claude's words, Logue opened a crack in the door and let him in.
After taking his seat, Logan impatiently asked Claude, ”Claude, how did you know I was here?”
”Even if the old gramps didn't say so, almost all of society knows that a grand marriage is about to take place in Italy. The three leaders of the clan will all appear here!” Claude said at a leisurely pace.
”Oh, the speed of sound is really fast!” Logue smirked. In order to make it impossible for her to escape, Fiona had already let out the news.
”Do you want to know what I'm here for?” Claude suddenly said in a low voice.
”Could it be that the old man told you to bring me a message that I'm going to be fine, that I'm going to get engaged to Miss Kris, that I'm going to get married, and that I'm going to give birth to the next generation of puppets in the clan?” Logue said sarcastically.
