Guidebook for the Dark Duke Chapter 63: The Strange Lady
Evan looked in the direction of the voice, two women came out of the crowd, Evan's expression tightened, Arya?
It turns out that the person who just spoke was Arya, and there was another lady standing beside her, a strange woman.
Evan squeezed his cuff, and he seemed to have an impression of the woman.
"Oh, it turned out to be Miss Arya." Ferd looked at Arya with a smile, a woman's jealousy is really the best tool to use, Arya has been eating at Cornwall Manor since the last time. After the loss, the whole person began to move closer to him.
"You just said you can prove this, is that true?" Ferd looked at Arya with great concern and said.
Alia bit her lower lip and glanced at Evan standing beside her. She felt a little nervous in her heart, but her tone was still firm: "It's true."
Folder's eyes filled with a smile, and his tone suddenly softened a lot: "Then do you have any evidence? Pastor Bruce is a decent gentleman, and you are also a lady. I don't want this to happen. Lose your reputation."
Folder said it very decently, but from time to time his eyes glanced at the lady beside Arya. The lady was wearing a long brown dress, her face was very pale, and she was not very beautiful. , but her eyes are very clear, like a girl who is not familiar with the world, but looking at her appearance, she also knows that this lady is not too young, at least twenty-five years old.
Alia nodded, patted the lady next to her on the shoulder gently, and said warmly, "Mr. Ferd, I understand your kindness, but I have to speak about this matter. , No matter what the position of Reverend Bruce in Delan Lier, he can't treat a lady like this."
Evan's expression suddenly sank when he saw Arya and the lady. The woman he knew was a parishioner of his previous church, called Irina, who was also a crazy pursuit of himself. By.
This woman is the first stranger I have met since I came to this world. When they first met, Evan was still in a state of ignorance, so he was very cautious and gentle with everyone, but he did not Thinking that this woman will be misunderstood in the end, and what is even more frightening is that this woman is a widow, her husband was killed in the war, and she became a widow at the age of eighteen. Such a social status is even more taboo in this era. taboos in.
Not to mention that Evan was very familiar with the direction of things later, and he was very determined to reject the woman's offer. After that, the woman also did several crazy actions, such as running to his residence in the middle of the night and knocking on it. The door, or coming to church every day to pester him, and finally when the order to transfer was issued, Evan was almost relieved.
In the days that followed in Delan Lier, this woman had long since faded from his memory, but seeing her again today, Evan's surprise was stronger than anyone's.
Alia's slightly ambiguous words made the people around her agitated, the Duke frowned slightly, and immediately said coldly: "Miss Arya, if you have evidence, take it out, here it is. Don't you think it's a little fake to play a man of justice?"
Alia's face was flushed red by the Duke's sarcastic words. She could hardly help but want to run out, but thinking about the next plan, she resisted the urge and ignored Hayes. Dr. Te gestured anxiously, gritted his teeth and said, "My evidence is the lady by my side, Irina, Irina used to be a parishioner in the parish before Pastor Bruce, she was a poor widow, Her husband died for the country, but Reverend Bruce seduced her and promised to marry her when she was at her saddest, but finally abandoned her ruthlessly, and according to Irina, even when the two of them were still In good times, Pastor Bruce also has inappropriate relationships with many ladies and gentlemen!"
Alia's remarks suddenly caused an uproar in the surrounding people. No one thought that those rumors were true. It turned out that the well-dressed Pastor Bruce was really such a person. They all pointed and pointed at Evan, who was still calm, but his eyes glowed with excitement. Such anecdotes were like Christmas for the quiet town residents.
The face of the lady beside Arya turned paler and paler. She seemed to be a little unsteady and swaying. Fortunately, Arya immediately supported her, which prevented her from The lady fell.
Duke Wilson looked at the two women with a gloomy expression, until the surrounding noise finally subsided, Duke Wilson glanced at Ferd, who had a bright face, and said, "Oh? It turned out to be like this. Is it true?" Duke Wilson looked at Irina: "Ms Irina, is everything Miss Arya said true?"
Irina held Arya's hand with a pale face, and then she barely stood still, she stroked her chest with the other hand, and said in a weak tone: "Dear Duke, Miss Arya What I said is true. Originally, I thought Mr. Mr. Bruce was an upright person, but this ending really left me heartbroken. Although I am a surviving person, I am also dignified. The promise gave me hope, but in the end it drove me into the abyss, I really..."
She couldn't help sobbing, Alia stroked her back with one hand and embraced her, but looked at Evan with a bit of hatred, as if there was a man standing there Heinous people.
Evan still didn't respond, just crossed his chest with both hands and closed his eyes.
The corner of Duke Wilson's mouth showed a sneer, and he turned to look at Evan, his expression was much gentler than before: "So, Pastor Bruce, do you have anything to say?"
Evan opened his eyes and looked at Duke Wilson. His eyes were clear and bright, without the slightest impurities, and his expression was calm and unwavering, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
"No, my lord, I have nothing to say."
Evan's silent gesture made the surrounding townspeople even more excited, and the surrounding air suddenly became a little turbulent. In their opinion, this was the default gesture, and they all began to look at it with a critical eye. Evan, straightforward and swearing, if it wasn't for Duke Wilson's presence, I'm afraid the swearing would have boiled over.
But even so, Duke Wilson's eyes are still quiet, as if he knew he would do this for a long time, but Evan's palms are already wet at this time, this gambling game is related to his life, he In my life, I am afraid that I have never handed my life into the hands of others.
"Lord Duke." Although Evan's reaction surprised Foulder, he would not miss such a good opportunity, and immediately said: "Since Pastor Bruce has nothing to say, then this matter is Isn't that a sure thing?"
Duke Wilson half-smiled and turned to look at Ferd, with a bit of sarcasm in his tone: "Mr. Ferd is really eager, just a lady, does it make you so excited?"
The smile on Ferd's face froze, and he felt a little bitterness in his heart. He has already reached this point. Does Duke Wilson still protect Evan?
"Lord Duke, this lady Irina is the witness you want, and Pastor Bruce has not refuted what she said. Isn't the matter already clear? What kind of evidence do you need? ?" Verde's tone was a little disrespectful.
Duke Wilson looked at him coldly and sneered: "Since you said so, can I say a few words? Although Pastor Bruce has nothing to say about this matter, I still I have something to say!"
Duke Wilson's last sentence was unusually severe, and the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet, and Irina, who was crying in Arya's arms, couldn't help shaking.
Alia hugged Irina's shoulders tightly, a bit of unwillingness in her eyes, why did he care so much about that person.
"Chris, bring someone here." Duke Wilson sat down on the chair and waved to the butler Chris beside him.
Butler Chris saluted the Duke gracefully, turned and walked towards the carriage.
The people around were staring closely at Butler Chris, who suddenly wanted to bring people over at this time. To be honest, the curiosity of these people was swayed by the Duke.
Butler Chris walked to the side of the carriage, nodded slightly towards the carriage, and said respectfully, "Pastor Robert, Lord Duke, please come over."
Pastor Robert? Evan's eyes tightened, but he breathed a sigh of relief. This pastor was the pastor who loved to drink when he was in that church. It's just that although this pastor was lazy, he was a good person.
The door of the carriage was opened, and a simple, honest and gentle pastor stepped out of the carriage, followed by a little girl, dressed very frugally, but her dark eyes were exceptionally bright, she could see it at a glance Irina, who was beside Arya, suddenly showed an angry look on her face.
Irina looked at Pastor Robert and the little girl in horror. Her trembling hands proved that she was not at peace, but it was Arya who didn't know it was a scam , the expression is still a bit resentful.
Pastor Robert led the little girl to the very center of the square, bowed to Duke Wilson who was sitting on it, and said warmly, "Lord Duke, thank you for your invitation."
Duke Wilson hooked his lips sarcastically: "You are too polite. My invitation this time has caused you a lot of trouble, and I would like to ask your forgiveness."
Robert waved his hand respectfully, humble but not flattering.
Seeing this scene, Ferd knew in his heart that it was about to end, but at this time he was already on fire, and he couldn't help it. The Duke's indifference to Evan these days weakened the With his vigilance, he did not expect that the Duke was really prepared.
"Mr. Pastor, do you know the people standing behind you now?" Duke Wilson pointed in the direction of Evan and Irina.
Pastor Robert's eyes were not very good. He squinted his eyes for a while and finally smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Evan? My reliable pastor assistant, I heard that you went to a small town to be a pastor. It turns out that Is it right here?"
Evan smiled at Pastor Robert: "Yes, Pastor Robert, it's really nice to see you." Evan's words really came from the heart.
Just at the stall where the two were chatting, the little girl couldn't help it. She rushed directly in front of Arya, pointed at Irina, who was already panicking in Arya's arms, and said loudly : "Pastor Robert, look! Irina actually came here!"
