Rebecca completely forgot about Hevin.

Even if he knew his so-called secret, in the eyes of a "demon hunter" like him, killing a few robbers should be a normal thing, not to mention that even if he told it, he would not be able to do anything to it.

pose no threat to yourself.

Ever since she saw Hevin, she felt irritated from time to time. Although in front of her daughter, she used the fact that she would think of Ogden when she saw Hewen as an excuse, but she chose this "excuse" because

This was indeed the gap in her heart.

She still feels pain.

And when Hevin told what he had done, Rebecca felt a moment of fear, and then the fear immediately turned into anger.

It was obvious that the small town hunter noticed something was wrong with her attitude, so he brought this up specifically to warn her.

Moreover, the ax he gave him must have had bad intentions. It must have some kind of surveillance function, otherwise how could he know what he had done.

Thinking of this, Rebecca felt a sense of shame and anger after being fooled.

What a terrible guy. Maybe he actually knew about his family background before giving him the axe. Otherwise, how could he give away such a precious magic weapon? Moreover, he also left some kind of evil magic on it, which made him feel uncomfortable.

He can use this ax to discover the fact that he has killed someone.

If she was a cowardly woman, she might have bowed to him now, and then he took advantage of her and made many rude demands.

He may also use this reason to prevent himself from interfering or even support his relationship with Nelly. Then he will rely on his rich experience and age to deceive his daughter's feelings, and then obtain his family's precious resources.

In fact, Rebecca was vaguely aware that her thoughts at the moment were just vicious speculations made out of anger and without reason.

But she allowed these thoughts to grow freely in her mind, paralyzing her thinking.

Because she needs to be like this.

Only in this way could she forget the fear and pain, as well as the guilt that kept knocking at her chest.

Especially the feeling of guilt.

Rebecca stopped in front of Nellie's door.

She took a deep breath.

People sometimes make decisions that are inconsistent with their own moral values.

Because not all forks in the road have at least one correct path.

If Rebecca had to choose, she would choose the one she cared about more.

The mother gently knocked on her daughter's door.

Nelly said:

"The door is unlocked."

'correct.'

Rebecca suddenly thought of getting the ax back from Nelly, and then finding a place to bury it, otherwise Hevin would have the chance to spy on them.

Rebecca pushed the door open and walked into Nelly's room.

Nelly was sitting on the edge of the rosewood bed, the velvet quilt behind her rolled up into a ball.

The daughter looked at her mother calmly, as if she was waiting for something.

Rebecca said:

"Hevin is here."

Nelly nodded.

Rebecca was a little confused that Nelly didn't show strong surprise.

Mother continued:

"I talked to him."

Nelly asked naturally:

"What did he say?"

Rebecca smiled and said:

"We talked about some trivial matters about our past life. Also, he has accepted the reward and promised not to appear next to us again."

Rebecca looked at Nellie, bracing herself for Nellie's emotional outburst.

Nelly only paused for a moment before giving a simple answer:

"Well, I understand."

Rebecca was a little overwhelmed by Nelly's reaction, but she immediately smiled:

"Nelly, I'm glad you can understand that he is not the right person for you."

Nelly shook her head calmly:

"Mother, I have said many times that all I have for Mr. Hewen is respect and gratitude. Even if I once had any ignorant feelings, they have definitely dissipated after so many years. Your worries about us are completely unnecessary.

.”

Rebecca didn't believe that Nelly's statement was sincere, but she still agreed:

"Yes, that's just a child's illusion."

Nelly asked:

"Is there anything else?"

Rebecca said:

"Yes, we are going to Enid's birthday party in two days."

Nelly said in surprise:

"Enid Pendragon, the deputy master of the Knights?"

Rebecca corrected:

"Honorary deputy captain, she cannot order the members of the Knights, but she will be respected accordingly. What's more important is that her mother is the Lord Chancellor.

"Besides the Lord Chancellor, there is also the figure of Prince George. It is said that their two families have an unknown blood relationship.

"It was precisely because of the support of George Pendragon that she was able to reach the position of justice, but this is not unexpected. After all, if there was no support behind her, she would not have been able to reach this position just relying on her own family.

Location."

Nelly said:

"So I want it?"

Rebecca said:

"I specifically asked Jimmy not to talk to Enid, but you are different. You are much more mature than Jimmy. I hope you can seize this opportunity to get close to Enid and chat with her more. As long as

If we leave a good impression on her, we can bring considerable benefits to our family.

"And you are a woman. Compared with men, the behavior of approaching Enid is more legitimate. The family has prepared several topics for you, all of which Enid may like. You should memorize them these two days.

, I won’t be unable to answer the call when the time comes.”

Nelly hesitated and said:

"Actually, I had a few words with Miss Enid."

Rebecca asked in surprise:

"What did you say? What was her attitude like?"

Nelly said:

"She was very gentle when she came into contact with me, but we only chatted briefly."

Rebecca looked delighted:

"Great, you tell the butler the content of the chat, and I'll ask him to prepare a few more topics. I really hope you can seize this opportunity. If you and her become friends in the eyes of everyone, then your future

Life will be much more stable.

"And if you can become a close friend with her, then you will no longer be able to control your own destiny like me, and you will have some say in your own life.

"After coming to Wharton, I haven't asked you for anything..."

Nelly reminded:

"Hervin."

Rebecca paused awkwardly:

"Well, I never asked you for anything other than Hevin, but I really hope you can seize this opportunity.

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Nelly nodded:

"Of course, I will definitely work hard to make up for this regret."

The regret that happened to my mother.

Rebecca opened her mouth:

"besides……"

She seemed to want to say something just now, but she forgot it as soon as she opened her mouth.

But if it's so easy to forget, it means it's not that important.

This idea quickly convinced her.

Rebecca coughed lightly:

"Trust me, you will thank me one day."

Nelly nodded:

"Yeah, I understand."

Nellie knows it very well.

Maybe one day I will really thank my mother for her actions.

But that's not important.
