In desperation, Tang Ning called out "Scarlett". This time "Scarlett" turned around and curiously asked Tang Ning, "Do you know my sister?"
"Your sister? You mean Scarlett - Miss Howard is your sister?" Tangning asked tentatively.
The girl nodded and replied: "Yes, I am her sister Kelly Howard, why didn't Scarlett mention it to you?"
Tangning thought about it for a moment and then replied: "Well, Scarlett did tell me that she has a sister, but I didn't expect that you look so similar to your sister!"
Kelly replied disapprovingly: "Sisters, it's normal to look alike. By the way, what do you call me sir?"
"Tony - Downing, from New Orleans!" Tangning replied casually.
But Kelly couldn't help but exclaimed: "So you are Mr. Tangning. Scarlett often mentions you to me!"
"Really? What did she say about me?" Tangning asked curiously.
Kelly thought for a moment and then replied: "This is a secret, but don't worry, it's all good things!" Then she asked: "Are you here to see Scarlett?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "That's right!"
Kelly said happily: "That's great, Scarlett has been waiting for you for many days, and if you don't come again, you may not see Scarlett!"
"She's going on a long trip?" Tangning asked in confusion.
"It is true that we are going on a far journey. Our whole family is going to distant London!" Kelly said sadly.
"Going to London to visit relatives?" Tangning guessed.
At this time, the female companion next to Kelly answered for her: "Kelly is going to get married in London. Naturally, Mr. Howard, Mrs. Howard and Scarlett will go together!"
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce you. This is my good friend Sophie, Sophie Kramer!" Kelly introduced.
"Hello, Miss Cramer!" Tangning greeted, and then said to Kelly: "I'm sorry, I don't know about this. I will give you a wedding gift tomorrow!"
"Then I'd like to thank Mr. Tangning first. Would you like to go find Scarlett now or tomorrow?"
Tangning thought for a moment and then replied: "Tomorrow, I just got off the boat and need to take a rest. Also, please Kelly, please go back and talk to Mr. and Mrs. Howard to avoid an unannounced visit. How rude!"
The next day, Tangning came to Scarlett's house with prepared gifts. Because the Scarlett sisters had laid the groundwork well in advance, and Frick had also told the Howards about Tangning, they treated him warmly.
After a small talk and lunch, Tangning got a chance to be alone with Scarlett, only to hear Scarlett complain to him: "Tony, why did you come to see me? You know when I learned about you from Leslie
How sad were you when you were with Mrs. Murphy?"
"I didn't expect you to know about this so quickly, otherwise I would have told you as soon as possible. By the way, you remember Mr. Carter, right? He was assassinated in New York..." Tangning then told the story about Carter.
I told her once, with the intention of changing the topic...
Sure enough, as soon as she heard about the serious injury caused by the assassination, Scarlett's attention was diverted. She covered her chest and whispered: "Oh my God! It's so scary. I remember Uncle Carter is a very nice person. How could this happen?"
Someone did this to him, Tony, you were there at the time, it didn’t hurt you, right?"
"I'm fine, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come here!" Tangning reassured, and then asked, "By the way, why did Sister Kelly marry so far away from London?"
"What else could it be? Just like Maxi is going to London to marry a countess, sister Kelly is going to marry an earl, and she has to bring a large dowry with her!" Scarlett replied angrily.
road.
In fact, Tang Ning had also speculated like this before, but she was too embarrassed to say it out loud. After spending a few days with Scarlett in Atlanta, Tang Ning set off back to New Orleans.
After arriving home, Tangning sent someone to find Sheffield and asked him to help contact several slave traders who often deal in female slaves. Then she sent a telegram to Jonathan to tell him that the manor had been selected.
After Jonathan arrived, Tangning introduced Sheffield and several other slave traders to Jonathan, and then left because he could see that Jonathan didn't seem to want to hear the conversation between him and the slave traders.
It turned out that he was right. Sheffield came to Tangning quietly the next day and said to him: "Mr. Tangning, you are a regular customer and an old friend of mine. I would like to thank you very much for introducing this deal to Mr. Jonathan."
Big business, but I can also see that you are not particularly familiar with this Mr. Jonathan, so from the perspective of a friend, I would like to remind you not to get too close to him in the future."
"Oh? Why?" Tangning asked curiously.
Sheffield looked around, then asked Tangning in a low voice, "Do you know why Mr. Jonathan is looking for us?"
Tangning replied casually: "It must be to buy a female slave, what else could it be?"
Sheffield explained: "Of course it is to buy female slaves, but do you know what kind of girls he wants us to help him find? They are all little girls between ten and twelve years old. Although the money he gave is enough, but this kind of girls
I really don’t like people!”
"Um, could it be that he likes the feeling of raising a little girl?" Tangning changed the term "nurturing".
Sheffield shook his head without hesitation and said: "Absolutely not. I have seen such people. They like this kind of little girl who has not yet grown up. This Jonathan is definitely such a person. I will not be wrong!"
When Tangning heard what Sheffield said, and also remembered that Jonathan had told him that when the manor was built and the slave girls were bought, they would often bring a group of friends over to play, she couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This, this is not
Is this Epstein’s XX Island?
It seems that the hobbies of wealthy Americans have not changed from the beginning to the end, but they find it inconvenient to play in New York, so they want to come to New Orleans, where slaves and freedoms exist. So, is this considered helping others?
Seeing Tangning's expression, Sheffield sighed: "Tony, now you know that this Jonathan is not a good person!"
PS: Thank you to book friend "Ling Changjin" for your support! Also, please invest. I feel that the performance of this book will not make your investment lose money!
Also recommend the new book "The Last Building on Earth" by Death Angler. I have to admit that this guy is really talented in doomsday writing, but the monsters in this book grow too fast. I think it would be hard to write this way.
