27. woman, girl, girl
Mary Anne returned to the White Lion Club headquarters, underground.
Unlike outside speculation, the place where the White Lion Club holds its meetings does not have exquisite decoration and luxurious gems.
Strictly speaking, there are no walls. It is just an ordinary cave with only one table and twelve chairs.
However, the underground cave that was supposed to be dark and obscure was actually shining with bright blue light, and the stones everywhere seemed to be carefully carved works of art, and the people surrounded were like underground kings.
Mary Anne and twelve people sat around a huge long table, and at the end of the long table stood a man in a white robe.
The man in white robe asked:
"Mary Anne, has the goal been achieved?"
The blonde beauty replied fearfully:
"President, he has shown interest. Maybe we will be able to get his financial support soon."
At first glance, the eyes of the president of the White Lion Club look like sapphires embedded in the eye sockets. They are turbid and transparent at the same time, contradictory. Dozens of tiny gem faces form an approximate semicircular shape.
He said:
"There can be no mistakes in this matter. We urgently need a lot of financial support. This is an indispensable part of the great plan."
Mary Anne replied:
"I will never betray your trust."
A sexy female voice sounded:
"I think Mary may not be qualified for this task, so let me take action. Anyway, I have determined that he is just a mortal. No matter what kind of man he is, I have the body and face to make them want to stop."
Mary Anne sneered:
"But not every man will be controlled by lust."
The sexy voice teased:
"Hmph, little sister Mary has not tasted the forbidden fruit before, so she would say such a thing."
Another hoarse voice sounded:
"Stop making trouble. Also, Mary Anne, this matter is very important. What do you think should be done to him, whether to invite him to join or find someone to replace him."
Mary Anne said:
"I don't think we have enough trustworthy people to replace him. What's more, if just replacing him can make money, why should we look for him?"
The hoarse voice asked:
"So you want to invite him to join us. If you want him to join us, what position do you want him to sit in, and how do you want him to willingly invest money in our great cause."
Mary Anne hesitated for two seconds, gritted her teeth and said:
"I'm going to add a chair here."
The whole house was in an uproar.
The hoarse voice cleared his throat:
"Why?"
Mary Anne replied:
"His financial resources are an indispensable part of the great plan. Although there are many members of the White Lion Club, the core members who truly understand the great plan only have less than 5 billion pounds in cash. And Wright's fortune in just a few days
Liquid cash exceeds 10 billion."
The hoarse voice questioned:
"How can we guarantee that he will understand the great plan and invest his own money in it?"
Mary Anne promised:
"I can see that he is a smart man, and I will be responsible for convincing him."
"What if you can't do it?"
"Then we will ask him to agree. Wright has a niece and will even study with her. It is obvious that he loves her very much. If he really doesn't agree, we will ensure that he has no choice."
Mary Anne looked at the president.
The man in white robe nodded:
"Okay, does anyone else have any suggestions?"
The hall was silent.
"The meeting is dismissed."
Mary Anne left the General Assembly.
Among the twelve vice-presidents, Mary Anne should be considered the less powerful one.
Unlike his colleagues, some of them are leaders in various industries, some are powerful aristocrats, and some are not even human beings.
But she is just a viscount's daughter.
When her father dies, she will lose her aristocratic status unless she marries a man she doesn't like.
By that time, she will be nothing.
Since the world is unfair to her, she will climb up by any means necessary. One day, she will make everyone afraid to look directly at her.
This is the reason why she has not allowed her father to have euthanasia.
As long as you have power and associate with monsters and lunatics, killing, robbing, and lying have become commonplace.
Among the vice-presidents of the White Lion Club, the president impressed half of them with his powerful personality and made them obsessed with the so-called great plan.
The remaining half, including her, just saw an opportunity to lead to power.
A chance for her to become a Grand Duchess.
Enid stood outside the gate.
The silver-haired girl did not wear armor today, but wore a light-colored striped shirt and black trousers.
The only metal on the girl's body is the silver ring on her right arm.
She glanced at "Falling Wings" twice and murmured:
"Maybe I should try to temporarily block my ability, maybe things will be different."
Following her thoughts, the silver ring turned into a silver-white arm armor covering her forearm. Unlike when it was on George, the arm armor was now more rounded and carved with beautiful and complicated patterns.
"Please follow me, Miss Enid." The servant opened the door.
"Light told you about me?"
"The master specifically asked that Miss Enid might come to visit."
The servant opened the door, nodded, then turned and left.
Hala was rolling around on the sofa.
The girl who heard the door opening suddenly stopped and kept rolling halfway.
Ha La slowly got up from the sofa, sat down obediently, and pretended that nothing had happened.
Enid broke the awkwardness by speaking:
"Are you Alice, Wright's niece?"
There was an unreal earnestness and kindness in Ha La's tone:
"Are you Sister Enid? Wright told me about you, Sister White Hair."
The girl felt the warmth from others for the first time in a long time. She even wanted to cancel the barrier and feel the other person's emotions.
But then she came to her senses. Her first reaction to a child was doubt. Can she be saved?
'No, I won't use it, at least not today.'
Hala jumped off the sofa, scampered up to the girl, stretched out her two small legs, and carefully hugged Enid's waist.
The girl's body was completely frozen.
"Little Alice...what are you doing?"
Hara rested her head on the girl's body.
"Sister Enid, Wright said that your parents are very bad, and Alice also has a very bad father.
"So I want to give you a big hug. The book says this can comfort a sad girl."
Enid's body went completely limp.
'Just take a look, just take a look, what if this is fake? What if this is real!'
The gauntlet shrank silently.
As strong and pure emotions rushed into her brain, the girl lost the ability to think, and guilt and happiness occupied her body at the same time.
