"It's Bao!"

There was surprise in Penelope's tone.

"Oh, he is really..."

"Weird?" Arthur continued.

Penelope smiled softly: "Well, yes, he is a bit weird, but... also very interesting."

"The rest of my family lived in the Middle Ages, or...well, I don't know, maybe the Stone Age."

"It's different with Bao, but if they found out about me and him, they would kill him and then send me to live in some horrible place."

"Like...Ohio. Have you been to Ohio, sir?"

Arthur took the teacup handed over by Penelope and replied: "No."

Penelope continued: "Well, I haven't been there either, but my uncle had a factory there, and he was a traitor in the family because he chose to leave."

"But now they all recognize him because he's a vicious snobbery."

"My family members are all...unexplainable."

"Do you have a family, sir?"

Hearing this, Arthur thought of Mary, Eliza, and Isaac.

"I...don't...let's just say no."

Penelope obviously didn't notice Arthur's emotional change, and said sadly: "My family, they can tolerate my uncle because he is very rich."

"And for me, just because I have an idea that doesn't fit my identity, they can't tolerate it."

"Tonight, there will be a gathering in the family to entertain a young man who is said to be very outstanding."

"My family, they hope that I can attract his attention, marry him, and bring huge help to the family's business and wealth."

"I know that Bao has the same difficulty. His family wants him to marry a girl named Matilda."

Arthur obviously hasn't realized that the young handsome man Penelope mentioned is David.

"This sounds very complicated. It seems that you all have someone you want to marry or want to marry. This is your family's arrangement, but it seems that you don't want this."

"Break the shackles of fate, well, I don't know what to say."

Penelope stood up and took out a letter from her bag, which she had obviously prepared.

"There's really nothing to say except that I hope they all go to hell."

"I...I don't...well, maybe a little bit."

"If you can see Bao again, can you help me deliver this letter to him."

Arthur took the letter from Penelope's hand and agreed to her request.

Perhaps Arthur also wanted to see if these two people could get rid of the family's arrangements.

evening.

David took two of his men and rode to the Braithwaite Manor mansion. ?

Obviously the guards had been informed a long time ago, and David went directly to the door of the mansion without showing the invitation letter.

After hearing the noise, the old lady Catherine, her three sons, and Hosea had arrived at the door.

"Oh, David, it's really you. I couldn't believe it when Mrs. Braithwaite told me this."

"Now, I finally see you, David."

"We haven't seen each other for so long. Do you miss me a little?"

When David dismounted, Hosea walked over with a smile and gave David a hug.

"Nice to meet you, Hosea. It looks like you're doing well here lately."

"Maybe I should think about whether life has given you new youth."

David teased in a subtle way, which was a reference to the possible ambiguous relationship between him and Mrs. Braithwaite.

In terms of age, the two are indeed very close, and Hosea is definitely very attractive for his age.

"Okay, David, I know nothing good will come out of your mouth." Hosea said helplessly.

Compared with Hosea's enthusiasm, David seemed much colder to the Braithwaite family.

"Mrs. Braithwaite, if it weren't for Mr. Matthews being here, maybe I wouldn't have considered coming to this banquet. You should feel lucky that you invited a friend I know well."

This sentence made the originally pleasant atmosphere a little awkward. Even Hosea did not expect that David would speak in such a tone, which was obviously very disrespectful to the Braithwaite family.

The old lady Catherine had some anger on her face, and the three sons looked at David with hostility in their eyes.

But they had to endure it.

The old lady Catherine forced a smile and said: "It seems we should thank Mr. Matthews."

In terms of apparent strength, the Braithwaite family is older and more established than David, and they even have hundreds of guards. ?

However, the Callander brothers, who were wanted for the robbery in Blackwater, were themselves the top gunmen in the West. David also established a security company and recruited more than fifty employees.

Including the previous subordinates, the number is not inferior to the guards of the Braithwaite family, and the quality is far beyond it.

The most important thing is that David's bootlegging business and his unique sales model embezzled wealth at a speed beyond imagination.

This is also the main reason why the old lady Catherine is afraid.

They were originally bootlegging companions, not to mention that the two had already developed a grudge against each other because of their relationship with the Laremy Gang.

So David naturally doesn't need to give him a good look.
