The gods crowned her [Famous Book]

"But I don't intend to hand over my property to him after I die." Mrs. Suzanne said slowly, "I don't think I like him that much yet. Remember, my good Ivy..."

She seems to like expressing opinions very much. When educating people, she always narrows her eyes into thin slits and bends her eyebrows. "You can have many lovers. Men are always just spices. They can only make you happy. They shed even a little bit of tears.

I have lived to be in my sixties, and every time I see those girls who are willing to die for the heartless people, I can't wait to slap them a few times. Sometimes, stupidity is also a reason to be taught a lesson. "

"Madam is right. As a girl, of course I choose to love myself first."

Hearing what Ivy said, Mrs. Susanna nodded in satisfaction, with a childish expression on her face, and she was so happy that she asked the housekeeper to make a new can of coffee.

Ivy looked at the pitch-black tin can speechlessly, and then at the expectant old lady, and had no choice but to hold back the unspeakable secret.

Although at this moment she really wanted the housekeeper to add some milk.

The old lady kindly watched her drink a cup of black coffee with tears, and cast approving eyes on her: "You are a smart girl, very similar to me when I was young, and I have to tell you an experience, there are more Money is much more important than having more lovers. A man’s heart is more fickle than a chameleon. Only money is always in his hand. We are beautiful nightingales, and we always choose the forest to live in. How can we let the trees choose us."

Since it was already evening when she left, the old lady and the old housekeeper strongly urged her to stay for dinner.

Although the freshly roasted pigeon was tempting, she refused it out of fear of having another cup of black coffee.

She couldn't help but quicken her pace on the way back because she was afraid of meeting gangsters again.

"The Countess of Mornington?"

As she was walking quickly, a polite male voice suddenly sounded not far away. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the source of the sound, but saw that it was the arrogant Kevin.

His expression was elegant yet alienated, and he sat in the car looking at her with a condescending attitude. Ivy ignored his arrogance and found that there was a young lady sitting beside him.

At first she thought it was his fiancée or something, then suddenly remembered that he had mentioned that he had a younger sister.

So I skipped the greeting step and turned directly to the lady with a lovely smile: "Hello, you must be Miss Clarence."

The girl jumped out of the car, took off the lace gloves and shook hands with her. The palms were warm and comfortable. It could be seen that she was a peaceful and friendly girl, in stark contrast to her brother.

"Hi, my name is Alice. Nice to meet you. I've heard of your reputation a long time ago. I saw you today."

This round-faced girl is not very similar to her brother. Her nose is round and blunt, and her eyes are also small, while his brother's facial features are aggressive and sharp. Although he looks handsome, he always has a domineering look. smell.

Probably the only similarity between the two is the same fair complexion.Like smooth milk, and good-looking chestnut hair.

"I think we're going to be really good friends."

When they met for the first time, they held arms, and they were as close as close friends for many years. "Why don't we go for a walk in the woods next to the church?"

Ivy nodded in agreement: "Of course I am happy to accompany you."

So Kevin also got out of the car and followed the two girls, keeping a close distance from them all the time, so that they could exchange some topics between girls.Ivy smelled the fragrance of late jasmine on Alice, and sniffed. "

I heard from Mr. Clarence that you like to read Gothic novels very much, but I am also very interested.

Really? "Alice's eyes gleamed with joy..." My favorite author is Mrs. Radcliffe. I will lend you her "Amorous History in the Woods" some other day. The description of the castle of horrors in it is simply outstanding. "

"I thought this book was out of print, but I didn't expect you to still have it."

Ivy is a loyal fan of Jane Austen in modern times. The latter's "Northanger Abbey" is also deeply influenced by Ann Radcliffe's works. Ivy is naturally interested in her.

Alice was a little proud: "It was my birthday present from my brother. He searched all the bookstores in London before buying it for me."

"Mr. Clarence?" Ivy was very surprised. She didn't expect him to be a good brother. She thought he was so indifferent to everyone.

Alice seemed to be able to see what the girl in front of her was thinking. She smiled and glanced at her brother who was walking silently behind her, and said, "Don't look at Kevin who always looks cold, but he is actually a good man with a kind heart. Misunderstood by his appearance."

But he really has a bad attitude.

In order to maintain politeness, Ivy can only complain from the bottom of her heart. This sister may not know how Kevin once talked about her, but she will never forget it anyway.

So no matter how much Alice defended his brother, she would never believe it.

"It's possible that he didn't know how to be real with people because of his father's authoritarian education. I think you've heard about our father."

"But I think you are a very friendly person."

"Maybe it's because I'm a girl. My father doesn't have very high demands on me. He only hopes that I will become a lady and lady as he wished, and then marry the son of the Duke of Kent. As for Kevin, he will inherit the family title The eldest son will naturally be stricter."

"That said, Mr. Clarence had an unhappy childhood."

"That's right. His mother's death also affected him. She was a very gentle woman when she was alive. But the relationship with her father has always been very cold. In the will, it is specifically stated that all the inheritance will be left to us brothers and sisters. It was a blow to my father, who loved money like his life, so he was even harsher on us."

It seems that Alice is really dissatisfied with her father, and she actually confides this in front of a friend she just met not long ago.

There is a small stream in front, neither wide nor narrow, the current is quite fast, only a big rock in the middle can be crossed.

Ivy looked down at her skirt and was a little embarrassed. Kevin stepped onto the shore first and extended his hand to Ivy politely: "Do you have the honor to help the Countess of Mornington?"

She froze for a moment, then looked back at Alice, who smiled encouragingly and motioned for her to accept help.So she could only take Kevin's hand uncomfortably, and use that strength to step up.

The moment his feet touched the ground, his hand immediately let go, and he put it down as quickly as touching a piece of hot potato.

"The scenery here is very good."

She coughed, and looked at the misty sky above her head, the green forest exuded vitality, and the grass on the ground grew unruly, making it a bit harsh to step on.

Kevin walked behind again: "Alice and I often come here for a walk after dinner, it's really a pleasant place."

"I also think that natural scenery is a good place to relax. At least when I'm not in a happy mood, I often don't choose to go to the British Museum."

Ivy jokingly said, greeted Alice's nod of agreement: "My original boarding school is near there, and the teacher always took us to visit on the rest day, so I want to run away when I see that gate now."

"Next time when the weather is fine, we can go for a walk in the outskirts of the forest. In the past, my brothers always took me for outings. I think you will also like it there."

"It's a great honor. If you want, you must come to our manor as a guest. My brother will entertain you very warmly, and maybe he will show you his secret base in the garden when he was a child." Alice chuckled , "You said yes, Kevin?"

Kevin didn't answer, which suddenly made the atmosphere a little awkward, and Alice couldn't help but glared at her brother.

"Manscari Manor? That is a famous manor in England. When I was a child, I always bought pictures of your castle. If I have the opportunity to feast my eyes, I would be more than happy." Ivy saw her embarrassed , Busy to praise to rescue.

"Mankasri has a history of almost 300 years. It is the most precious wealth passed down to us by our ancestors. Kevin and I basically spent our childhood there, but I had to leave to go to boarding school. it."

Listening to other people's manors, and thinking about her own, Ivy deeply felt that there would be no gap without comparison.

Arthur stood at the window in a daze, holding the just-issued make-up exam transcript in his hand.

"You haven't passed it again, have you?" Ivy asked.

"It's over..." he said dejectedly, "but the teacher gave me a C."

"Why?"

"Because he said that those who take the make-up exam can only get a C."

Ivy didn't know how to comfort him, so she could only say, "Then you should work harder next semester and show Anna a full A report card."

"There's no next term," he said even more dejectedly.

"Ok?"

"Have you forgotten, I'm graduating."

"Then where do you go after graduation?"

"According to my mother's wishes, I may go to the artillery battalion with Richard. Starting as a second lieutenant, I think as long as I work hard, I will make a difference one day."

Ivy felt mixed feelings in her heart.

Although they are both elder brothers, in her eyes, Arthur is always the one who needs to be protected. Wars are often cruel, and Arthur is an honest child.Even though she had read the script, she was still very worried about something wrong with her brother.

"Then you said goodbye to Catherine?"

A shy expression suddenly appeared on his face, one ear turned red instantly, and he lowered his head in embarrassment: "I said that when I am promoted to captain, I will come back and propose marriage to Earl Longford."

"Oh, by the way..." Arthur stared at her solemnly, with a worried look on his face suddenly, and he frowned his brown and black eyebrows, "Mother seems to be very angry at you for using the family money to grow grapes and flowers , I know you must have your own ideas. But you should explain it to your mother. "
