Chapter 58 Loyal Servant
At the end of the song, the man hugged the woman with ambiguous actions and gentle eyes, like a husband and wife getting a long day and night.
I don't know when the people around have gradually left the dance floor, only looking at William Bryan and Charlee Ford.
In their eyes, these two people are just like real lovers.
There was a loud applause all around.
Only one person with gloomy eyes came over and pushed Charlee Ford aside.
"I knew you wanted to seduce ." She said with a gloomy face.
Charlee Ford raised his eyebrows.
How could that sound similar?
She lifted her long hair beside her ears and smiled provocatively. "But I have to admit that I am stronger than you."
Maggie Ford was angry, but she found that she could not find anything to refute her.
After the traditional dance of the auction every year, it entered the official auction time.
Everyone entered and took their seats. William Bryan sat beside Charlee Ford.
The necklace Cinderella was the last item presented.
As soon as he appeared, people around him gasped.
This necklace is said to be valuable but not marketable. Unexpectedly, it really came out of the world.
It can be said that almost half of the people present came for this necklace.
The host began to introduce the background of the necklace: "It is said that when the prince asked to marry Cinderella, he used this necklace as a token of love, symbolizing the only eternal love. Presumably, the designer also had this intention, so there was only one Cinderella in the world..."
Before she finished speaking, a person in the crowd below suddenly stood up and walked to the front, grabbed the microphone in the host's hand, and said righteously, "You've all been cheated. Cinderella has nothing to do with fairy tales. This necklace was a gift for her daughter's 10th birthday from the head of the four families, and the name was chosen because Miss Collins likes to watch Cinderella's stories!"
When this remark was made, all the seats were in an uproar.
Almost all the people present were from the upper class of English society, and they had some understanding of these things.
The lineal daughter of the Collins?
That was the most honorable girl ten years ago. Her existence was like the princess life in a fairy tale reflected into reality.
Maggie Ford, the eldest daughter of the Fords, is also one of the four families.
Maggie Ford panicked when she heard what the man said.
She hurriedly looked at William Bryan.
As expected, the man's expression changed instantly.
She quickly got up and shouted, "Where is the security guard? Take the troublemaker out!"
She didn't need to say that the security guards had already entered, and the man had to be dragged outside.
The man struggled fruitlessly and laughed, "Even if you get Cinderella, it will return to Miss Collins one day!"
"Wait!" A voice suddenly came from the crowd.
It is low and firm, and brooks no comment.
It is William Bryan.
Maggie Ford tried to persuade her, ", that man is crazy, and what he said is unbelievable."
William Bryan walked towards the man as if he hadn't heard of it.
"Do you know Charlotte?"
The man laughed wildly: "I am the most loyal servant of the lady."
William Bryan frowned, "Where is she now?"
"I, I don't know..." The man's eyes darkened for a moment, and hope reignited. "But I believe that the young lady must still be alive, and Cinderella's appearance is the best proof!"
Charlee Ford couldn't help laughing at the man's inexplicably excited expression.
What can Cinderella prove? The sapphire is now hanging around her neck.
——It's quite heavy.
William Bryan felt that his words were of little value because he was a god.
He was frowning and wanted to ask again, but the whole building they were in suddenly shook.
In an instant, all the red wine glasses fell to the ground and were smashed. The crystal chandelier above the head shook violently, making a crisp sound.
William Bryan took the lead in responding.
He hurried to the place where the man was. It seemed that he wanted to protect him.
However, he is fast, but others are faster than him.
With a "whoosh" sound, the man close by stared wide and fell down on the ground with a pale face and twitched.
Charlee Ford ran to him and put out his hand. "I'm dead."
She looks at William Bryan.
As her voice fell.
A panic scream sounded all around.
Maggie Ford, in particular, could not wait for the whole person to hang on William Bryan, ", how could it kill people? I'm so scared!"
William Bryan did not push her away again, and walked towards Charlee Ford with her behind him.
His eyes were frozen, and his body was full of wind and rain.
It's not easy
After so many years of hard work, I found a person related to Charlotte and died in front of him.
However, the changes are far more than that.
After the man died, the roof of the top floor was suddenly broken from above.
The heavy crystal chandelier fell to the ground and broke all over.
"Ah ah ah ah ah - help me -"
All of them immediately panicked and fled in the form of birds and beasts.
In a panic, I don't know who knocked over Cinderella on the booth.
When I look back, Cinderella has disappeared!
Two figures ran towards the booth at the same time.
One is Fred, the other is William Bryan.
The former is for Cinderella, and the latter is to catch the perpetrator.
Fred immediately opened the area around the booth, leaving a sufficient space.
He looked at the empty safe, frowned and pondered, "Is it a civet cat?"
Charlee Ford raised his eyebrows.
Why is this related to civet cats?
The only non staff member of the Seven Dragons Organization, the civet cat, who is known as the God Thief, should still be on vacation in the South country Sea at the moment.
William Bryan glanced up at him, but his tone was not gentle. "What do you mean?"
Fred replied, "In fact, before this moment, the secret room where Cinderella was stored was also invaded. I summarized the scene with my team members and the guessed that the person who wanted to steal Cinderella was a civet cat."
William Bryan frowned and shook his head for a long time. "It's impossible."
"Civet cats always steal things without killing people." He glanced at the dead man beside him, and his eyes sank again.
While they were observing the booth, Charlee Ford noticed them keenly.
They mingled with the frightened crowd, which was not unexpected, but looked too abnormal in her eyes.
She has always trusted her intuition.
I saw these two strange people going out with the crowd.
Charlee Ford stretched out and said to William Bryan, "Since Cinderella is lost, I'll go first. Bye bye."
