On the other end of the phone, the maid woke up Colin, and Colin answered the phone: "Chris? What's the matter? You woke me up so early again."
Verak looked at Carmine and followed his instructions: "I want to travel recently and discuss it with you."
"Travel? We are not -" Colin did not know that there was anyone around Verak, and was puzzled by the sudden change in Verak's plan.
"Come here quickly, this matter is very important." Verak interrupted Colin quickly to avoid the business being exposed. "I will explain to you why I want to travel when I get here."
"Okay, I'll be there in a moment." Colin heard Verak's anxious tone and had no choice but to agree to go.
"Let's meet and chat as soon as possible." Verak was worried that Colin would say any more unfavorable words, so he hung up the phone decisively.
Fortunately, Carmine didn't notice anything unusual, and he also thought of a way to explain the trip for Verak: "When Colin asks you why you want to travel, you just say you want to relax after you get better."
"Understood." Verak nodded.
It's a pity that Carmine's words are from his perspective and do not apply to the current situation. Verak has already cooperated with Colin to do business, how can he relax at this juncture? When Colin comes, Verak will
You still have to find some reason to hide it.
"You go have breakfast first. When Colin comes, take him directly to your bedroom and wait for me to come over." Carmine rubbed the bridge of his nose, seeming a little tired.
"Understood, Mr. Carmine." Verak stood up and apologized to him again, "I'm sorry about this. If I hadn't gone to the charity gala, this wouldn't have happened."
Carmine may have felt that Verak actually didn't have much fault, so instead of scolding him, he comforted him: "It doesn't matter."
"I wonder how the solution is now?" Verakto asked, wanting to find out about the current situation.
"This isn't something you should worry about anymore, go out." Carmine didn't think it was necessary to explain the situation to Verak.
Knowing that he could no longer get any news, Verak had no choice but to leave: "Then I'll leave first, Mr. Carmine."
After leaving the study, Verak went downstairs to the dining room, where Mera, Kellerman, and Julia were eating. Verak greeted them one by one and sat down to eat.
I don’t know if it was like this today or always, but Verak suddenly found that they were very depressed at the dinner table. Although there was some reason for the aristocratic etiquette that made them not talk much during the meal, but more importantly, there was still a feeling that seemed to be related to life.
All cold and restrained.
Verak deliberately ate his meal quickly, trying to finish the meal before the three of them, and then went out to contact Daniel while everyone was away to pass on the information.
Nobles always eat slowly, and Verak was wolfing down breakfast today, which caused the other three to look at him from time to time.
It didn't take long to finish breakfast. Verak stood up and said, "Mom, sister, I'm going to wait outside for Colin. He should be here soon."
"Go." Mrs. Mela said.
Verak went out and came to the door of the mansion. After making sure that no one was staring at him, he found Daniel.
"Mr. Chris." Daniel opened the back seat door for Vera.
"I'm not leaving." Verak walked forward and spoke very quickly, "Something happened and I'm afraid I won't be able to go out for a while. You can give this to Chloe and tell them to be careful lately. There's no need.
worry about me."
Daniel took the letter written by Verak last night.
"Hurry up." Verak urged, turned and returned to the door of the mansion.
Daniel closed the car door and left quickly.
Twenty minutes later, Colin arrived.
"What's going on? Why are you suddenly going on a trip?" After getting out of the car, Colin said with some dissatisfaction, "You still wake me up every morning. It's not like you don't know my schedule..."
Verak was too lazy to listen to Colin's nonsense and pulled him towards the mansion: "Go to my room and say, remember, don't mention our business to anyone here."
"I know, I'm not a fool, you also want to give your parents a surprise." Colin was pulled in.
In the hall, Kellerman greeted Colin. After Colin greeted Kellerman, he was taken to the bedroom by Verak, while Kellerman went to the study to inform Carmine.
"Tell me, what happened? I thought about it after not seeing each other for a day." Colin sat on the sofa, waiting for Verak to give him an explanation.
Verak had already thought about the appropriate response: "It's a long story. My sister Kellerman is already engaged to Janos of the Fenn family, and they are now starting to arrange my marriage again, wanting me to marry other families.
Marriage. You know, I can't accept it, so I want to leave Lezein for a while in the name of traveling to avoid the limelight."
This is the best reason that Verak can think of. When Carmine asks Colin about Elizabeth, Colin will directly believe that it is related to Chris's future marriage on this basis, and there will be no doubts.
"Aren't you with Elizabeth?" Colin asked, tilting his head.
Colin actually knew about Chris and Elizabeth.
Verak immediately decided to talk more first, so as to gain more information to better understand the situation: "She and I haven't seen each other for a while."
"I think so. It's been almost a month since I saw you talking to me about her. Why, we had a quarrel?" Colin asked.
"I don't want to talk anymore." Verak looked like he didn't want to remember.
Colin became more enthusiastic: "Didn't you call me here just to help you find a solution? Is it possible that this is the reason why you quarreled? No, if it was this, why didn't you tell me?
Have you ever gotten up?"
From Colin's words, Verak already knew that his previous inference was wrong. Chris did not completely cut off contact with Elizabeth four months ago, but turned into an underground relationship.
Now that I think about it, this might not be a bad choice.
This not only preserves their relationship, but also prevents Elizabeth from being affected if something happens to Chris.
However, this brings up a rather bad possibility.
If Chris cut off contact with Elizabeth four months ago when Francis died and resolutely took over the position to lead the Equality Society, it would be a clear sign that he did not want Elizabeth to be involved. In this case, Elizabeth would not know what Chris was doing
What.
But if they maintain an underground relationship, then Verak cannot guarantee that Chris has not told Elizabeth about the Equality Society. Once Elizabeth confirms that she is not really Chris and informs the Equality Society, he will definitely
