Lorraine Hill fell from the sky, and the oncoming night wind flowed past her ears. The gentle wind pressure brought a sense of comfort. No matter how many times she felt like walking through the wind, she never got tired of it.
Slowly falling on the balcony, the pure white dress floated up with the air current, and then slowly fell down. The emerald eyes shone like gems at night, and then gradually dissipated and returned to their normal appearance. During this period
Without making any sound, with keen perception, he easily avoided the sight of the guards in the courtyard.
She walked gently into the bedroom, the door was still locked, she ran her fingers through the air, a breeze blew through, and the candles were extinguished. Then she opened the window, the night wind swirled in the bedroom, and the intoxicating air was part of it.
Qing, finally closed the curtains, lay on the bed, and fell asleep peacefully.
This night was also particularly peaceful and sweet.
When Lorraine Hill walked out of the bedroom early the next morning, the four maids outside the door still greeted her as usual.
They first brought hot water and asked Lorraine Hill to wash her face. Then one of them helped the girl comb her hair and tied the two strands of hair next to the ears into long braids. Then the two braids met at the back of the head and were tied.
A light red bow with a slightly girlish feel finally hangs down from the middle, reaching the back, higher than the other waist-length hair.
Lorraine Hill shook his head in front of the mirror, his long blond hair rubbed against the red dress and fell down like silk.
"Pearl, you took care of my hair very well."
"Thank you, Miss. In fact, your hair is perfect to begin with. I just tidied it up a little."
"Yeah, but it's better than nothing, right?"
"Yes." The maid finally adjusted Lorraine Hill's hair before putting down the comb.
"How long has Per been in Carites?" The girl looked in the mirror and then asked.
"It's been five years. Because my father traveled extensively with Mr. Angus, I was able to successfully enter the headquarters to work."
"Is a maid's job hard?"
"It's not unfortunate, the headquarters has plenty of manpower and there is no shortage. We always have time to rest."
"That's it..."
Then Lorraine Hill walked into the restaurant, where Chelsea was already waiting.
"Good morning, Miss."
"Morning Chelsea."
According to the usual arrangement, these maids would leave temporarily, and Chelsea would report something during breakfast, but today Lorraine Hill asked Pell to stay.
When Lorraine Hill was talking to Chelsea, she stood aside, calm at first, then became more and more uneasy, and her long legs wrapped in white stockings began to tremble slightly.
Lorraine Hill continued to ask Chelsea about the investigation into yesterday's assassination, and then slowly discussed the motive of the assassination by the Helles guards.
"Perl, why do you think those people whose families and relatives work in the Chamber of Commerce betrayed him? Could it be that the Chamber of Commerce treated him badly?"
"I...I don't know..." Pell's body was shaking, his face was pale, and his voice was trembling slightly.
"That's it."
Lorraine Hill took a sip of hot tea and slowly thought about how to deal with the personal maid who poisoned the dinner and the candle in the room.
"There are some remote islands in the Southern Youngberry Kingdom. The branches there are always short of manpower. Are you willing to work there for twenty years?"
"I do, I do."
She trembled and knelt on the ground, grabbing the ground with her head, and choked with sobs.
"Okay, you can clean up today and say hello to your parents and family. Their lives will be as usual and they will not be affected by you."
"Thank you, miss. I...I'm sorry for you."
She was kneeling on the ground with red eyes and uncontrollable tears. Her forehead was covered with dust and bruises.
"Then, that's it." After speaking, Lorraine Hill stood up and left the restaurant where the crying could be heard.
Chelsea called several other maids from outside the door to follow Pell, and then left with Lorraine Hill.
The two of them walked through the corridor in the courtyard, but the head maid still didn't ask, which actually made the girl curious.
"Sister Chelsea, aren't you curious about what happened just now?"
"Why do you need to explain to me what the eldest lady wants to do?" Chelsea's words were smooth.
Oops, the head maid sister was actually angry. Lorraine Hill turned her head and looked at the head maid who was wearing glasses and wearing smart clothes.
"sorry."
"Why do you want to apologize to me, Miss? You are the master."
"I'm sorry," Lorraine Hill said, trying to be cute.
"Sigh... Miss, you are always like this, even that rainy night before. Can't you cherish yourself?"
"What if Pell has a back-up plan? What if there are other accomplices? If something happens to you, what will the Chamber of Commerce do?"
Chelsea expressed her worries and dissatisfaction.
But I know she has no back-up plan, and there are no other accomplices among the maids, Lorraine Hill thought to herself, but it was difficult to explain how she knew, so she could only nod her head in agreement.
Then the two of them talked all the way, and finally came to the study room of the Chamber of Commerce, which is where Lorraine Hill usually works.
After finishing some matters, Lorraine Hill asked Chelsea to invite Ceres over. While waiting, she began to slowly recall the life of the old housekeeper.
When he was young, he was a minor nobleman of West Wind. He later joined the army and became an officer in West Wind's war against the barbarians. After the war, he worked as a mercenary for a period of time. Later, he met Angus. The two became close friends and assisted Angus.
Kalites is the core figure in managing the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce. He is experienced, thoughtful and rarely makes mistakes, and is recognized by most people in the Chamber of Commerce.
"Miss, I'm here." Seres walked into the house, interrupting Lorraine Hill's memories.
"Well, Uncle Ceres. Last time I asked you to investigate Mrs. Mela's past, was there any progress?"
"There are some results. The ancestors of Mrs. Mela's family were once nobles of the West Wind, and their fiefdom was in the Verga area. However, it had long declined by her father's generation. When she was a child, her father did some small business and did not earn much.
I don’t have enough money, so my life is relatively poor.”
He paused briefly, then continued.
"Mr. Angus met Mrs. Mela at a certain banquet, because at that time, Mr. Angus had just brought Carites into the top core of Verga, and he also obtained one of the 26 seats in the guild.
He is high-spirited and often attends banquets invited by various families, and integrates into this circle."
"After a certain banquet, he got very drunk and fell in the garden outside the banquet hall. At that time, Mrs. Mela happened to pass by and was about to help her, but she was entangled by the drunk Mr. Angus, and they spent the whole night like this.
"At first, Angus didn't quite agree with the matter, thinking it was a conspiracy from other chambers of commerce. Later, he gradually became familiar with Mrs. Mela's character and slowly accepted it. However, because he loved the deceased Mrs. Yuan so much, he never publicly acknowledged the relationship.
, he just sent someone to take care of Mrs. Mela, and helped her father conclude several profitable businesses."
"Then what happened?"
"Later, after Mrs. Mela's father tasted the sweetness, he asked Mr. Angus for help many times. Later, he became addicted to gambling and asked for more and more things. In the end, Mr. Angus gave him a harsh lesson.
After a few meals, he slowly settled down. Now he is no longer in business and is guarding several manors in the countryside, living a comfortable and nourishing life. "
"I see. Uncle Seres investigated in great detail."
Lorraine Hill stood up, walked slowly to the window sill, and then turned around.
"It's a pity that you didn't tell the truth completely."
At this time, six sword-wielding guards rushed into the study room quickly. With the sound of armor scraping, they surrounded the old housekeeper of the Chamber of Commerce. Their swords faced each other, and two of them stood in front of Lorraine Hill to prevent him.
