Chapter 324 Circus Clown <45>
His Excellency Duke Herbert acted decisively. Since he had already compromised with Fang Li, he immediately took action.
After all, she is your own daughter. You have to know that parents can never defeat their own children.
For example, your daughter, whom you have raised with great care, brings home a little yellow-haired boy when she grows up and insists on getting married. What can you do?
Are you going to break her legs and lock her up at home?
You are all adults now. Let me say something unpleasant. Since you have grown up, this is your own choice. You can't cry if your life is not good in the future. Anyway, this is your own choice.
If you didn't listen to your parents' advice and your future path becomes difficult, you can't blame your parents.
Victor was released that night.
It is worth mentioning that because Victor was taken away as a murderer, the female owner of the circus was worried that he would implicate the entire circus, so she fled overnight.
In other words, Victor had no place to stay, but was this a problem? Not at all.
Fang Li prepared a mask for the other person, the kind that only covered the lower half of the face. It was made of pure gold and inlaid with emeralds that were exactly the same as the other person's emerald green eyes.
When the other person wore such a mask, he was extremely handsome. Fang Li couldn't take her eyes off him.
Ah, how could her boyfriend be so handsome?
It's so handsome that it's earth-shattering.
Fang Li brought the man directly to her residence, looked at him and said, "Well, the circus is gone now anyway, so you can just live with me from now on.
Is that okay? "
For Victor, what's wrong with this? Now he also knows that Helena will soon succeed to the Duke's position.
The young lady has the final say in the mansion, so what's wrong with the other party letting him stay here?
Fang Li waved directly at the housekeeper and said to her: "This is my friend. He is a guest at the mansion. You must treat him well in the future."
Since the other party is here, we must at least treat him as a guest of honor.
Victor had no objection to all her arrangements. For him, as long as he could hold the lady in his arms to sleep at night, he would be satisfied.
See, he is so easily satisfied.
At this time, Fang Li turned around and looked at the other person, blinked at him, and said mischievously.
"Do you need me to prepare a room for you?"
After hearing his words, Victor sneered, raised his eyebrows, looked at the other party and said.
"Helena, what are you talking about? You don't want to get out of bed tomorrow morning?"
After hearing what the other party said, Fang Li was speechless. To him, the threat from the other party was too useful.
If she dares to challenge the other party in this regard, she must be desperate.
Fang Li immediately became timid. She looked at the other person with a wronged expression and spoke carefully.
"Oh, oh, I see."
At this moment, the butler came over in a hurry and reported, "Miss, Miss, Miss Helena, His Excellency Duke Herbert is here."
Now that the conversation had been opened, Duke Herbert no longer regarded this place as any other place and simply walked straight over.
In fact, Fang Li felt that there was no need for the housekeeper to report this matter.
Because the other person was following her right behind her and she could see him at a glance, so there was no need to report him.
Duke Herbert had a bad expression on his face when he looked at Victor, as if it was his own delicate flower that he had carefully raised with great difficulty, and then a young boy took away even the pot. How could he not be angry?
He looked at the other person and almost hated him to death.
He particularly hated the other party. If Fang Li hadn't insisted, he would never let the other party go.
Now that the person has been released here, he has to prepare another candidate over there.
There are so many death row prisoners in there anyway, so just pick one out and put him there.
This kind of thing was easy for him to arrange and not a hassle at all.
It is worth mentioning that the Pope personally came to ask about this matter before, but what did he say?
Although your power is the greatest in the world, their family has deep roots and has been lingering in the capital for many years.
Over the past 200 years, the men in their family have married girls from so many families, and the girls in their family have married men from so many families.
He had marriage alliances with almost all the nobles, and they were all related by marriage, with deep roots.
He was not that afraid of a Pope who had just taken office.
To be precise, they are meant to check and balance each other.
After just giving the other person a lukewarm glance, Duke Herbert waved towards Fang Li.
As he walked up the spiral staircase, he looked at her and asked, "How is your mother doing now?"
Speaking of her mother, Fang Li's condition was obviously not very good. She shook her head with a sad look on her face.
"Not very well, you know, she can't eat anything now, she can't even drink water."
How can she get better when she's like this?
Both of them knew that there was a high chance that her mother would not survive the night.
There was a hypotensive silence, and they soon returned to the Duchess's room.
After pushing open the door, there was still a smell of corruption. The person on the bed had a pale face and lay there bloodless, not moving a muscle.
Duke Herbert had no qualms about sitting next to the other person. He first leaned over and gave the other person a gentle kiss on his pale, sunken cheek.
Then he took the other person's hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it gently.
As they kissed, she started to cry softly again.
"Oh, Mary, my Mary. How could you just go away like this? How could you just leave me like this?
Please open your eyes and look at me, okay?"
Drops of slightly cold tears fell on the Duchess's skin.
I don’t know whether it was the water stains that irritated the other person, or the other person’s sincerity that awakened the other person.
The Duchess, who was lying lifeless on the bed, actually opened her eyes.
She spoke with a dry throat. As a mother, what she worries about most is undoubtedly her children. The first thing she opened her mouth was to call Fang Li's name.
"Where's Helena?"
Fang Li quickly walked up to the other person, stretched out her hand, and held her mother's hand.
"Mom, I'm here, how are you?"
To be honest, she already knew clearly in her heart what was wrong with the other person. This is the so-called last moment of life.
After this conversation, the other person's life has basically come to an end.
The Duchess first looked at her daughter, then at Herbert next to her.
There was a trace of annoyance in her eyes. "Oh, Xia Feild, why are you here? I... I... I am like this..."
