Chapter 1331 No Good Intentions
In the face of Raylan's indifferent attitude, Vihaan, though dissatisfied in his heart, did not dare to say anything.
Well, after waiting for a short while, Raylan got up and left.
He followed closely behind, and the two got into the car and drove to a secluded compound where they met Judith.
"Go out and wait."
After entering the house, Raylan's cold gaze swept Vihaan and drove him straight out.
"I'm sorry, it was the patriarch's intention that I had to see the process."
Vihaan is entrusted with Chaya's work, and is so serious and rigorous that he will not allow any mistakes to be made. Judith is sitting in her room, watching TV.
When she saw the two enter, she couldn't help but tense up, "What do you
...... want?"
A courtyard in the countryside has no communication tools, although there is internet.
There was nothing in the bedroom but a television set.
Although she had been thinking of ways to escape, it was not easy to escape because of the high security outside.
"It's nothing, your mother just wants a little bit of your blood."
Raylan tells it like it is.
When he said that, he told Vihaan to go aside, "It's okay if you don't go out, allow us to have lunch first."
"What kind of tricks are you playing?"
Vihaan thinks Raylan has no good intentions.
Raylan was so offended by the comment that he turned around and shot his stern gaze at Vihaan, "Just a dog in front of Chaya, do you really think you're capable? Now, you can either wait or get out!" The most uncomfortable Vihaan dog's virtues.
Perhaps because Raylan does not like Chaya, he is also very disgusted with her people.
"You...... you...... don't be too arrogant. This is Obren, watch your head!"
Vihaan is nearly forty, is not confused, but the temper is particularly large, especially a dark complexion, set off that face is particularly ugly, every moment is like throwing face. Raylan put one hand in the pocket of his pants, one hand holding a folding knife, in the hand flung, the action is flowing, the operation of the folding knife is very skilled.
Just as Vihaan was staring at the folding knife in his hand, Raylan shot a knife straight through.
Phew--
The sudden move, so fast that it scared Vihaan's face, and he made a violent sideways turn to avoid his knife.
"What do you want! Raylan, I'm telling you, if you lay a finger on me, I'll make sure you die here!"
Vihaan yelled.
Raylan's eyes were contemptuous as he walked slowly to the door.
The folding knife that was shot out just now has already stuck in the door.
Raising his hand to remove the knife, he turned and walked over to Vihaan, "I, Raylan, have always been a soft touch."
The cold glint of the dagger reflected Vihaan's features, and a faint glint could be seen under his eyes, with a slight scorn for Raylan.
He swallowed, "Hmph, I'm too lazy to bother with you!"
With those words, he turned around and walked out of the bedroom.
After he went out, Judith then stood up and asked, "Did you just say...... she wanted my blood? Is it that you want to test whether I can compel poison?"
When she first met Judith, she played dumb and made everyone think she was a fool.
After the phone call with Chaya that day, because Chaya's ignorance, killed her adoptive mother, since then her identity is exposed, so in front of Raylan is not deliberately concealed identity, not to mention will not pretend to be crazy and foolish.
"Other than that, what else is there to do."
Raylan grunted lightly, "Later you'll commiserate and draw a little blood, but right now it's important to eat."
He casually sat down on a side chair and took his phone and made a call to the maid, "Send lunch over."
After a busy morning, I finally had the time to clear my head.
He patiently sat down with Judith and the two of them for a lunch.
The door to the bedroom was open when lunch was brought in, and Vihaan just stood outside watching the two of them eat their lunch slowly, not to mention how stifled he felt.
In the afternoon, Vihaan brought a tube of blood to Chaya.
"Patriarch, the stuff is brought back."
Vihaan stood in front of Chaya, bowed, and threw himself on the ground.
"Why is it so slow?"
Chaya sat in her study looking at the official business piled up and had quite a headache.
"That Raylan guy was playing some kind of conspiracy game. Sat in the gazebo for a while before coming home and having lunch with Judith again before having a tube of blood drawn."
Vihaan gave a brief account of the situation and couldn't help but ask, "Patriarch, Raylan is just a man of little value, why do you have to be so indulgent with him?"
In other words, if someone else treats the Obren patriarch in this way, I'm afraid he would have been in jail.
"He still has use. There's no harm in being polite to someone who is useful."
Chaya generally looked at the documents in front of her while explaining to Vihaan, "After all these years, you're still indolent. All right, take these papers to Jonathan for processing. Also, where's Alani, she hasn't been back lately?"
Alani is Obren's left ambassador, but Alani has not been seen since Emilio's return.
"I'm going to contact Alani right now."
"Go ahead."
Chaya responded.
While Vihaan went to Jonathan with a thick pile of papers, Chaya took the tube of blood and went to the back room.
At the same time.
Ruth and Archie, whose wounds have healed, both appear at Celine's mansion.
Celine accompanied Chaya to meet Raylan in the morning, but only met him once. On the way back, Chaya only asked her if she was interested in Raylan, and then Chaya brought her back with her. "What brings you here?"
When Celine saw the two of them, her eyebrows wrinkled, then she took a step back, "Come in and sit down."
After all, they were her biological parents, and even if there was some unpleasantness over Adriana, she wouldn't turn the two away.
Ruth was a little better, but her body was still a little weak and her face was haggard.
She said, "These days you have been staying here and can't go out, so your father and I are worried that you are bored, so we came to see you."
"Worried that I'm bored?"
Celine laughed coldly, "You think I'm a child who hasn't grown up yet. She just came to ask me about my grandmother's visit yesterday."
She knows them too well.
Ruth and Archie both looked at each other and neither said anything, just walked into the living room and sat down.
The maid served tea to both of them before turning around and walking out.
In a moment, only a family of three was left in the living room.
"Celine, you and Adri are sisters, you're the closest people......'
"1
As soon as she sat down, Ruth mentioned Adriana, only to get Celine's displeasure, "Why are you mentioning her to me for good reason? I used to think that I had a place in your hearts, but now it seems that you only have Adriana in your hearts."
###1332 Chapter Celine the Simpleton
Despite being grown up, Celine is still a little jealous of Adriana.
She was the little princess in Obren that countless people held in their hearts, and now Adriana appeared in Obren and took her place, which in turn made her despised by so many people.
Ruth spoke, not knowing what to say.
She looked to Archie helplessly, hoping that Archie would stand up for her.
"Celine ......"
Archie patted Ruth's hand, soothing her, and said to Celine, "We know you've been aggravated in recent times. But now that Richards is at Obren, only if you endure it, you can leave Obren later and find your own happiness."
"Who said I'm leaving? I'm not leaving Obren."
Celine directly contradicted Archie's words.
Before that, she had wanted to leave Obren countless times, wanting to see the big world outside, to feel a different kind of life.
But last night saw the fullness of the treasury, gold tens of thousands of taels, she decided, to stay in Obren.
Chaya has a chance since she said that now Bethany is no longer competent for the position of right elder.
By seizing the opportunity, she can turn her life around and take control of it.
In fact, there are only two reasons for Celine's interest.
One, is that the current person who can do Obren matriarch must have the possibility of Adriana; two, because those money brings her a great attraction.
Greed, always makes people psychologically distorted.
Celine's refusal gave both Archie and Ruth a whiff of something out of the ordinary.
"Yesterday, what did Chaya want with you?"
Ruth asked with some urgency.
"She is my grandmother, your mother, how can you call her by her first name?"
Celine knitted her brows and said with disgust.
Yes, Chaya is indeed Ruth's mother.
If this matter is placed in the girls did not go back to Obren before, are normal, but after experiencing a lot of things, Ruth really cold heart.
"Tell me, what did she promise you?"
Ruth pressed the issue.
"No, it's nothing."
When Ruth guessed the situation, Celine was inexplicably a little nervous inside, "I don't need you to be in charge of my affairs. My guardian is Grandma, not you."
She grunted and turned her back on Ruth, a little exasperated.
"You......"
п
Ruth's face turned pale with anger and she got up with a slap on the table and was about to yell at Celine when Archie immediately stood up and pulled her back, "I'll say it."
He patted Ruth's shoulder and kept reassuring her.
It took a while for Ruth to calm down and sit down.
Archie walked over to Celine and sat down next to her, looked at her and said in a serious tone, "I know you have opinions about me, as parents, we have done a very poor job and owe you a lot. Although you have grown up, we still hope to make it up to you. Today came over is some words want to say to you. Since Richards came to Obren, Obren has not been at peace. There is something you know?"
"What is it?"
"On the identity of Bethany and Jonathan."
Celine snorted lightly, "Aren't the two of them father and son, one serving as Obren's right elder and the other as right ambassador. Everyone knows that."
"Bethany is your little uncle, and Chaya's biological child, born to Jonathan."
Archie was sure Celine didn't know anything about it and told her the truth, "We all knew about it, but you were kept in the dark, Bethany is not just one person, he has a sister named Judith, she was brought back by Peter a few days ago and is now placed outside."
"What...... how is that possible? Impossible."
Celine immediately stood up and shook her head incredulously, "Are you kidding me? How could Bethany be Grandma's child? It can't be."
She shook her head repeatedly, unable to accept the sudden reality.
"You have to know that Bethany has no contribution to Obren, but why has he made it to the position of Right Elder of Obren in a short period of time? He is only thirty, without any achievements or contributions, what makes him deserve the position of right elder?"
Archie pressed on to explain to Celine, "In Obren, the position of clan leader is passed on to women, not men, and Bethany does not have the ability to control the compulsion, so his identity has not been disclosed to the public. But now that Judith is back, it is not yet known whether she can control the compulsion. But there is one thing you should know. That is ...... if Judith can control the compulsion, then the first one who will die is Adriana."
Because by that time, Adriana would have no and use value.
Celine's mind was blank, looking at Archie in a daze, red lips slightly open, stammering for a long time, and finally brushed aside, "Even if what you say is true, but what does Adriana's death have to do with
me."
She turned, paced the living room, walked to the living room door, and said aloud, "She and I are from the same mother, but we don't have any emotions. Dead or alive, it's just one more person in the world and one less."
"Yes, it's of no consequence to you. But Adriana is our daughter, and I will not let her die. Explain that there is bound to be a strife between Chaya, who will win and who will lose is not yet known, but there is one thing, that is, no matter which side loses, the final result is that Obren will be annexed by Motril. Do you think, at that time, as a descendant of Obren, you can survive?"
That's why Ruth has been going to great lengths to bring Adriana to Obren.
Their original intention was to bring Adriana back to Obren to help take care of Obren and give all of Obren's civilians a secure home.
Even if it makes her and Archie take the blame, but as long as it saves Obren everyone is worth it.
But when they go to great lengths to force Adriana back to Obren only to find that Chaya's purpose is only to let Adriana be a puppet, so that Jonathan and Bethany two 'hold the son of God to command the vassals'.
If that were the case, how could Ruth have watched her own daughter go down in flames?
"You don't have to joke about it."
Celine shook her head, "Obren and Motril are neighbors, the relationship is very close, how can Motril will annex Obren, besides, Prince Richards came over for the matter of peace, as long as Sandra married Richards, all things will be settled. "
She thinks extraordinarily simply.
"Stupid!"
Listening to her words, Ruth could not stand it, raised her hand to her forehead and muttered.
Ruth sighed and continued, "Do you think Richards came just for the marriage? If he really came here for the marriage, he would have been pestering Sandra every day, not just a few days after he arrived in Asco village."
