Flowers, Swords and France

Of course, Mary didn't believe that her friend would be so naive. She knew that this was just a step to show weakness and paralyze the other party.

Due to her own setbacks, she was also very itchy towards Charlotte and Agnes, but she was relatively rational and knew that the overall situation should be the priority, so she couldn't help but remind them.

"You have to be careful. That person is very vicious. How about I go with you?" She moved closer to Fran. "Also, Sir respects her very much. We'd better not make trouble with her." Too stiff..."

In her opinion, after taking control of all the managers of the factory, the two of them have assisted Charles in completing the plan to remove wages from the bottom of the cauldron. Now Charles is in the most superior position, and the people below only obey him. People will not be led around by their wives, and the two of them are therefore in an advantageous position and will no longer be excluded because of Charlotte's mood.

In this situation, there was no need for them to do anything extraneous. If it angered Charlotte and Agnes, or let them see some clues, wouldn't it be a big deal? Just let the two of them be happy on their own.

"I don't hate her, she brought it on herself." Looking at the faint sparks in the distance, Fran said coldly, "I have never had any ill intentions towards her, I just want to fulfill my wish. But she used her own methods to stop me. Why should she stop me? I...I am in this situation, I can only fight back, no one can stop me! "

At this point, the corners of her mouth moved slightly, revealing a strange smile, "But don't worry, I won't make a fuss with her, I will let her see that I am powerless and make her happy about it... This is my last effort. If she is willing to be noble, I will spare her. Otherwise, I will do everything I can to resist. No one can blame me for pursuing my own happiness. "

Mary stared at her quietly. Because of the night, her original blue pupils had turned into a dark ink color, flashing with a terrifying sight.

Love is so crazy! Looking at her friend's eyes that were shining with strange light, Mary thought to herself.

There is no point in saying anything else at this time.

"Well, no one can stop you." She sighed.

……………………

Under the early morning sunshine, Agnes, who stayed in the hotel and got up early, finished her morning practice, returned to her room, and then began to enjoy her breakfast.

After swallowing the piece of cheese, Agnes drank a glass of water, feeling a unique sense of satisfaction after hunger was relieved.

She does not pursue personal enjoyment of life, so her daily food is very simple. However, because she has been wandering abroad for many years, eating these unique foods of her motherland is an unspeakable enjoyment for her, as if It was like enjoying some kind of feast.

Coupled with the fact that everything went smoothly, she felt particularly comfortable.

However, this comfortable mood did not last long and was interrupted by an unexpected news.

Her niece asked to see her.

How did she get here? How dare she come to see me?

When she just heard the news, Agnes frowned, and her good mood over breakfast was ruined. She didn't like the other person, and of course she didn't really want to see him.

But there was a curiosity in her heart that kept her from saying no.

OK, let's see what you have to say. Agnes gently licked her fingers and wiped them clean with a handkerchief.

Fran quickly came to the room and saw Agnes sitting.

"Aunt Agnes, good morning." Fran saluted the other person very respectfully, with a smile on her face, as if the two of them had never had any conflict before.

"Good morning." Agnes said with a half-smile on her face, "Long time no see."

"It's been a long time. Are you okay?" Fran didn't flinch at the other party's hidden sarcasm. Instead, she seemed more sincere, "I really hope I didn't disturb you when I came over suddenly..."

"I did disturb you, but I won't be unhappy because of this trivial matter. You don't have to worry." Agnes was not polite at all. "What makes me curious is, why are you in Giverny?"

"I haven't been in a good mood lately, so I came to Giverny with my brother yesterday to relax. After all, our family's property is here." Fran answered very calmly. She didn't want the other party to see that she had been staying in Giverny for several days. , "I also saw on the train Thank you, but I think you probably don’t want to see me, so I didn’t say hello to you. I didn’t want to disturb you today, but today, I suddenly heard some bad news, so I I think I'd better come and confirm with you..."

Agnes sat motionless, she now clearly understood the purpose of the other party's visit.

"Excuse me, is it true that you brought Charlotte's message yesterday, telling the managers at the factory to stop reporting to me on their work status?" Fran asked.

"Yes, it's true." Agnes nodded immediately, then sneered. "What's wrong with this?"

"I think there is indeed a problem." Fran looked at the other party calmly, without any fear at all, "I am Miss de Treville, I am the sister of the Minister, and I have been assisting him. Those who manage this place certainly have the right to know what’s going on here.”

"If you had the power before, then I have to tell you that you don't have it now." Agnes spread her hands, "Charlotte is the master here, she can choose whether to welcome or expel a guest, very soon You are clearly among the unpopular…”

"The world does not run on likes and dislikes!" Fran argued, "Think about it, all the time, because my brother has no experience in taking care of every detail, the management here has been left to us. Thanks to God's great blessing, under our rule, it has developed very smoothly and finally reached the scale it has today. You don't recognize our efforts and achievements? It doesn't matter, but you told us to say goodbye to this place all at once, and we were not allowed to participate in any business activities here, and we were not even allowed to know any business conditions here. Wouldn't this cause trouble if we were expelled all at once? Then the continuity of the business will be greatly affected. In the end, it will not be me who will lose the most, but my brother and Charlotte!”

"You want to prove that you are irreplaceable, but as far as I know, no one in this world is irreplaceable." Agnes was not moved by her words at all, "You should admit it yourself, right? Can this place develop today? Get up, the biggest reliance is not your brain or your It is Ciel's power, so as long as Ciel's power is there, who will be the same? Charlotte can manage this place, even if it is temporarily difficult due to pregnancy and experience, but She can always find some help, can't she?"

"Anyone can have power, but wealth will not jump by itself. Without the help of experienced, loyal and reliable people, my brother's power cannot run smoothly, right? Can Charlotte take care of Giverny? I have some Doubtful, after all, she has not cared about this kind of thing in these years, and has not made any efforts to study. Even if she can do well in the future, what will happen in the middle? Who will make up for the losses during this period? I am not trying to persuade you from my own perspective. I hope that for the sake of my brother, you will not cause trouble. After all, he has a lot to do and should not be treated like this. Things are annoying." Fran still explained in a good voice, "We already have enough disputes within our family, why add more disputes just because of conflicts of temper?"

"A battle of spirits...?" Agnes frowned slightly and looked at Fran coldly, as if she didn't understand why she could actually say these words. "Why did things develop to this point? Shouldn't the person who knows best be you?"

"I don't understand what you mean." Fran shook her head.

"Isn't what I mean clear enough? Your stubbornness and shameless desires have angered everyone, and no one can tolerate you anymore. If you knew better, you should know how to go away and stop affecting everyone's life. Only by doing this can we all get rid of your shadow and live a happy life." Agnes was too lazy to talk in circles, "The things are obvious, you should know for yourself, right?"

"In other words, these are all because of your personal opinions about me, right?" Although Agnes said it very unpleasantly, Fran remained unmoved.

"Yes, that's it." Agnes nodded without hesitation, "Charlotte cannot tolerate some people she hates using her property for their own benefit, and she is even less willing to see some people with shameless thoughts. She wants to take away what she values ​​most, so she wants to drive you away, and I think this is her right, because you are the one doing the evil.”

Fran lowered her head, as if thinking about something.

If it were anyone else, they might think she was feeling guilty, but Agnes wouldn't. She had long known that her niece was hard-hearted, so she wouldn't have such unrealistic expectations.

"I'm not surprised that she has such thoughts, but... what about you?" After a while, Fran suddenly raised her head, and then looked at the other party hopefully, "Aunt Agnes, I have never offended anyone. You? I’m not disrespecting you at all, right? Why do you have to go against me?”

"Why?" Agnes asked with a sneer.

"I really don't understand. I have never had any ill intentions towards you, and I have never interfered in anything you do. Even if you wanted to kill my father, I didn't do anything to stop you... so I feel very puzzled. "Why do you insist on treating me like this? Why do you insist on interfering with my life?" Fran blinked slightly, as if she was about to cry, "I just ask you not to interfere with our lives. Is this not true?" No?"

"Don't act like this with me!" Agnes seemed to have been bitten by something, and immediately increased her voice, "Aren't all these troubles caused by yourself?"

Fran seemed to still not understand, and continued to ask the other person, "I...I never intended to disturb your life, and I don't expect you to like me. I just ask you not to disturb my life. Why are you... Can't you leave me alone?"

Her sudden question made Agnes a little irritated.

"Why? Don't you understand? If you just want to destroy yourself, then no matter what you do, I won't bother to care. But you want to drag everyone with you and destroy it, and you want others to stand by and watch? No. Nothing more shameless than that!" she frowned. He stared at the other party with his brows, and his tone became more severe than ever before, "You can live quietly, enjoy Miss Treville's wealth, or fend for yourself. I really won't interfere with you, but you have to go the last step. It’s a crazy road, but you still blame others for interfering with you!”

"Maybe you think it's crazy, but I think it's rational. After all, only I can walk my own path." Fran remained calm, "I don't expect you to understand me. I... I just want to ask you, If I ask you with the utmost sincerity not to interfere in the affairs between my brother and me, can you...can you be a little more noble?"

"No way!" Agnes shouted back.

"What if I agree to any of your other arrangements? Whatever you want, I can satisfy you." Fran was not repelled by the rejection, and still asked the other party with hope, "I can spend my whole life being grateful to you. I will repay you with the utmost sincerity.”

"Impossible!" Agnes still flatly refused, "Don't you have any sense of shame?"

"Yes, I don't. How can a sinner be? I am firm to you, but you think I am irritating and groveling, and you also think I am hateful. If I die, how happy will you be... What a pity that I have always been Not dead." Fran smiled bitterly.

This rejection was expected by her, but it still made her feel angry.

Yes, angry.

She didn't want to endure it anymore and suddenly raised her head to look at him.

"So you think you are upholding justice, right? But in my opinion, you just treat me as an object to vent your hatred!"

"Nonsense!" Agnes was furious.

"Am I talking nonsense?" Fran's tone became cold, without any fear, "Then, if I were my mother's daughter, even if I had such thoughts, you... you wouldn't be like this, right?"

This question made Agnes's heart clench heavily.

She really didn't want the other party to dare to say such words.

"If you were Alice's daughter, you would never do such a thing to embarrass everyone! It's precisely because you have the mixed blood of two demons that you are so filthy!"

"Huh, haha..." Even in the face of Agnes's anger, Fran still laughed. "That's not certain. Maybe if the child had not died, she would have made the same choice as me? Then ask yourself, if it were that child, would you treat her like this?"

Agnes couldn't hold it in any longer. She slammed the table and pointed out the door.

"Get out! Please leave before I can't bear it anymore, otherwise I really can't guarantee what will happen again!"

"Does that mean you admit it? You hate me so much just because of my blood!" Fran still had no intention of giving in. She raised her head and looked at the other party, "So, I deserve to be unlucky, and I am destined to be your enemy. , bear your hatred for my brother and grandfather, even if her death was not actually caused by me..."

"Shut up!" Agnes stood up suddenly, waved her hand and hit Fran in the face.

However, at this moment, Agnes suddenly remembered her promise to Charles, so her hand stopped in front of her.

"It's really disgusting." Agnes took her hand back and "disappear from me immediately. This is my last warning to you."

What a shame. Fran thought to herself.

If she used violence again, her brother would definitely be furious. At last she still had some brains at the last moment.

But it doesn’t matter, the original purpose has been achieved.

"Okay...I understand, I know how much you hate me, and I also know that you can no longer make peace with me. I can only feel very sorry for this." Fran stood up easily , "I have to say that Charlotte and you have now successfully driven us away. We can no longer serve the factory here. I can only pray that you can take over safely and not make everything a mess. Don’t forget...if everything goes wrong, it’s the Trevilles who will suffer, not us.”

"Thank you for the reminder." Agnes also controlled herself, and then replied indifferently, "However, as I said just now, it doesn't matter if you leave, everyone will do everything well, just like before That way.”

"Then I wish you luck." Fran saluted Agnes again, "If you need us, just ask."

"Heh..." Agnes sneered.

Fran said no more, turned around and left.

She suppressed the disgust and hatred in her heart so that her expression and pace would not be affected in any way.

Just now was her last attempt to get Agnes to stop interfering with her, but just as she expected, she failed.

The facts were before her, and she could not plead to get Agnes out of her way.

But this kind of failure also breeds success. Her humble request just now and the outburst of emotions that followed would let Agnes see her panic and pain, and all of this would be passed on to Charlotte.

I hope you can be happy for two more days. When she stepped out of the door, she thought to herself.
