883 A shocking change
Lady Caitlyn’s lawyer was Milton. He was a middle-aged man in his forties with gray hair, blue eyes, and a pair of curly-framed glasses. He wore a black double-breasted coat and a black velvet top hat. He had a thick mustache, and he held a cane in his hand. A golden watch chain peeked out from his clothes.
Milton had arrived in a black carriage, and the two horses pulling the carriage were also black horses. This person exuded the aura of an ” Elite Lawyer. Milton also had an assistant, a brown-haired woman in her twenties who was also wearing glasses and an old-fashioned, straight dress. The woman held a briefcase and would prop up her glasses from time to time as she followed behind Milton.
After Milton’s arrival, lady cattleen and Xia Pingan came down from the study upstairs.
Milton stood in the living room, and a smile appeared on his face as soon as he saw lady Caitlyn coming down the stairs. He strode over, pulled her hand, and kissed it. Then, he asked, ” Madam, what property do you wish to donate to the temple of domination? ” According to the laws of the rhedron Republic, as long as the temple of God issues a corresponding document to receive the assets, the donated assets can offset part of the agricultural tax of the manor. I have brought you the same model of the donation!”
At this moment, there was nothing strange about lady Milton’s face. Her every move was still elegant and charming, calm and composed, without the slightest hint of nervousness. Xia Pingan felt that this woman was indeed outstanding. It was rare for an ordinary woman to be so calm when she saw someone who wanted to poison her.
After saying this, Milton seemed to have noticed Xia Pingan, who had come down with lady Caitlyn and was standing beside her. my lady, this is Qingqing.
this is my personal chaperon, Xia Pingan. This is my lawyer, Milton law firm’s lawyer! Mrs. Caitlyn introduced the two of them.
Milton gave Xia Pingan a critical look, nodded slightly, and said in a seemingly casual manner, ” what a coincidence. I was just dealing with a lawsuit. Madam, do you know Mrs. Vladi? ”
I know. We talked about it at the Milan Manor during afternoon tea. What’s the matter? ”
Mrs. Vladi is too kind and trusting. A few days ago, she was cheated of more than 50000 Thales by a fortune-teller who came to Corland, and was almost kidnapped. She’s still in the hospital today, so she’d better be careful of those people of unknown origin! This Milton fellow was just short of pointing at Xia Pingan’s nose and calling him a liar.
Milton, Xia Pingan is a guest I invited. I trust him very much, so you’re being too rude! Mrs. Caitlyn said unhappily.
Milton hurriedly apologized. ah, Madam, please forgive me. That’s not what I meant. You know, as lawyers, we always have some occupational habits.
Xia Pingan smiled and didn’t mind at all. Madam, Mr. Milton is right. We do have to be careful of the scammers around us. There are indeed many scammers in the fortune-teller profession, and there are also many scammers in other professions.
Milton took a deep look at Xia Pingan, then looked at lady Caitlyn. my lady, are we going to deal with the relevant documents now? ”
hmm, wait here for a while. I have an appointment with a friend. He’ll be here soon! let’s go, ” Mrs. Caitlyn said softly as she sat down on the sofa.
Xia Pingan and Milton sat on the couches on both sides. Butler NATAS brought a summoned maidservant to serve everyone black tea and desserts. They then stayed in the living room, and the group chatted while drinking black tea.
Milton’s sharp gaze was fixed on Xia Pingan. When he saw Xia Pingan pick up the teacup, a subtle smile appeared on Milton’s face. Mr. Xia Pingan, as a fortune-teller, do you know master ansofar? ”
“Oh, you’ve heard of it?” Xia ping ‘an took a sip of tea and said with a smile. For a new clairvoyant, these words were actually quite annoying. Xia ping’ an used her knees to think and roughly knew what this guy was trying to say. Ever since Milton had arrived at the manor, Xia ping ‘an had been observing him. He looked very smart and powerful, and his aura was that of an ordinary person. However, for some reason, Xia ping’ an felt that there was something wrong with him.
How should I put it ... Something was off. It was like when you were buying a can of ham and discovered a transparent window that allowed you to see the ham inside. Although it wasn’t a big deal, as long as the can was filled with ham, there was no need to open a transparent window on the metal box to allow you to see what was inside. Milton was like a can of ham with a window. There were many details about him and his tone. It was as if they were reminding others that he was a lawyer, a very powerful lawyer.
Milton smiled and took a sip of tea as well. the last time master ansofield came to Coland, he asked me to be his legal counsel. I’m very familiar with master ansofield, so if there’s a need, I can introduce you to him. Master ansofield is actually very willing to guide and guide the newcomers, Yingying.
Oh, is that so? that’s great. I would also like to discuss dream divination with master ansofer. I’ve seen master ansofer’s works on the meaning of dreams from the perspective of subconscious and mental psychology. It’s very interesting!
“Interesting?” Milton raised his brows, and a contemplative look appeared on his face. if master ansofield were to know that a new fortune-teller’s evaluation of his proudest theory is interesting, I think it would be even more interesting!
Xia Pingan smiled. dreams are the murmurs of the soul. The world that the soul can touch is not something that can be completely analyzed by the subconscious or psychology. Dreams are beyond logic and the scope of psychology. They can be connected to the gods!
Upon hearing Xia Pingan mention the gods, Milton wisely chose to keep his mouth shut. Because in this world, any topic that denied the gods could easily lead to trouble. Milton then deliberately changed the subject and began talking to lady Caitlyn about the fruit wine and farm produce from the manor’s winery.
About 20 minutes later, dense footsteps of leather boots rubbing against the ground drifted from outside the parlor. Hearing the footsteps, Mrs. Caitlin had already stood up. A servant hurriedly pushed open the gate of the parlor while a 50-year old man with a big belly in black police uniform with a class I police epaulet entered the lobby with a group of policemen in black uniforms.
Butler NATAS and lawyer Milton were both surprised to see a group of police officers.
Xia ping ‘an also saw Dragon five. Dragon five was staring at them from outside.
“Director Kevin, thank you. You’re finally here!” Mrs. Caitlyn stood up and walked over. She hugged the man in the class one police uniform and pressed her face against his, looking very pitiful. Judging from their relationship, Mrs. Caitlyn and chief Kevin were indeed very close.
“I was told that Madam encountered a problem here; therefore, I hurriedly came here. Madam, are you okay?” As police Chief Kevin spoke, he swept his gaze across the living room in an imposing manner.
Milton hurriedly bowed to director Kevin in greeting.
“I’m fine for now, but my life is in danger. I can only call the police!” As soon as lady Caitlin spoke, the atmosphere in the living room seemed to freeze. Xia Pingan saw a hint of panic on Butler NATAS’s face, while Milton remained silent and glanced at Butler NATAS discreetly. Only then did NATAS lower his head and calm down.
Director Kevin looked surprised and angry. Madam, what’s going on? is there anyone who dares to harm you? ”
At this moment, a trace of sorrow appeared on Mrs. Caitlin’s face. A trace of tears shivered in her eyes as she said, ” I’ve been having nightmares these past few days and I feel that my body is not in good condition. Therefore, after a friend introduced me to Mr. Xia Pingan, I went to look for him to help me with my divination. Mrs. Caitlin looked at Xia Pingan with gratitude. after Mr. Xia Pingan’s divination and analysis, I found out that I had fallen into a trap. Additionally, I’ve been poisoned by white arsenic for one and a half years. Someone in this Manor has been secretly poisoning me since I signed the agreement on the disposal of my will.”
Clang, clang, clang, clang. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw the Butler of the manor, NATAS, with a pale face and cold sweat dripping down his face. He took a step back in horror and happened to knock a vase on the table beside him onto the ground, completely shattering it.
Under everyone’s gaze, the Butler, NATAS, trembled like a quail. When everyone looked at him, NATAS forced a smile. I’m sorry, I was too shocked!
Director Kevin’s sharp eyes were fixed on the Butler, NATAS. With just a look, two police officers had already quietly approached NATAS.
Xia Pingan was only staring at Milton. Milton’s face still had the perfect amount of surprise, as if he were an outsider. For him to be able to keep his composure at a time like this, Milton was either completely unaware of it, or he was a sly old fox at the level of a Best Actor.
“Madam, do you know who poisoned you?” Director Kevin continued to ask.
Mrs. Caitlin’s eyes were fixed on the Butler, NATAS. I brought Mr. Xia Pingan to the manor today to look for clues. Mr. Xia Pingan has already found an important clue. The one who poisoned me was a dishwasher in the manor’s kitchen. That dishwasher would apply the juice of the girass that had dissolved arsenic on the tableware I used, causing me to be slowly poisoned without me knowing it. That dishwasher is now in the kitchen’s back kitchen, and the poison is hidden under the sink outside the kitchen.
Director Kevin waved his hand, and two police officers immediately went into the kitchen to arrest and search for things.
NATAS’s face had turned completely pale, and his body was trembling like a sieve.
NATAS, I’ve always trusted you. I’ve even left you a part of my inheritance. Even if I die, I won’t leave you alone. It’ll be enough for you to live! Lady Caitlyn looked at her Butler with a sad look. you’re in charge of all the summoning servants in this Manor. You’re the Butler of this Manor. Can you explain to me why the dishwasher in the kitchen would smear poison on my tableware? who told the summoner to do that? ”
my lady! Butler NATAS’s body trembled. He wanted to retreat, but two police officers had already come to his side and clamped him down. They grabbed his hands. The Butler was speechless, but he turned his pleading eyes to Milton and shouted, ” my lady! it’s him! it’s Milton who asked me to do this! he said, ” as long as I do as he says, I’ll take care of this Manor. They’re all mine Yingluo, they’re all my Yingluo!”
Everyone’s eyes turned to Milton.
Milton’s expression first turned from shock to helplessness and calmness. Then, a smile appeared on Milton’s face. He glanced at the Butler, NATAS, in disgust, shook his head, and cursed softly, ” what an idiot. Can’t even take this little pressure, cricket.
Then, Milton looked at lady Caitlyn with the same smile on his face. my lady, you’re lucky this time, and I didn’t think it through. I wanted to solve this matter in a calm way, but I didn’t expect such a problem to occur. Sigh, I should’ve been more direct, Momo.
“Capture him!” Bureau chief Kevin’s chubby face trembled as he let out a furious roar. Two police officers walked towards Milton.
Milton suddenly laughed gloomily, and a strange wave suddenly surged from his body. Xia Pingan’s expression changed drastically, and he shouted, ” be careful, my lady. after Xia Pingan finished speaking, she immediately hugged Mrs. Caitlin, who was still standing in shock, and pushed her down. At the same time, she crashed into director Kevin, knocking him to the ground as well.
And just as Xia Pingan pounced forward, a ring of scorching flames had already flown out from Milton’s body. Like an explosion of fireworks, it transformed into a bunch of fireballs that flashed with scorching red light. With a loud boom, they exploded in the living room of the villa.
The Butler, NATAS, was hit by a fireball. With a scream, his whole body burst into flames and exploded with a boom, knocking the two policemen who were holding him to the ground.
The other three fireballs were flying toward Xia ping ‘an, Mrs. Caitlyn, and director Kevin. Xia ping’ an moved, not only dodging the fireballs that were flying toward him, but also allowing Mrs. Caitlyn and director Kevin to avoid the fireballs as well.
Closely after that, the 3 fireballs hit the walls and furniture of the living room, causing them to explode and burn up at once.
