Chapter 184 (1/2)
Suddenly, hearing the golden rose family from Donne's mouth, Fiona's eyes immediately became very terrible.
”Foal family!?”
Donne immediately understood what Fiona meant. He shook his head. ”It's not what you think.”
Fiona put down her pen and paper and looked straight at Donne, waiting for him to continue.
”Do you know you have a godfather?”
“……”
Sure enough, Fiona was at a loss.
”All right.”
Donne sighed and said, ”your father Edward and o'bury were friends...”
”It's impossible!”
Fiona flatly denied: ”although the golden rose family used to be famous, it is still far from the foyer family. How can they be connected?”
”You're too insecure... In fact, it's true.”
After a pause, Donne continued, ”besides, obery is still your Godfather. He baptized you.”
Fiona's face was dull: ”Aubrey... Is my godfather? Are you teasing me?”
”Of course not. It's true.”
”Then why didn't he save our family!”
Fiona was excited: ”with the power of the foal family, it's easy!”
”Fiona, you've lost your cool... You should know that factional struggle can't be explained in one sentence or two.”
Donne shook his head: ”he knew about the golden rose family, but he and Adrian were outside at that time and couldn't help your father at all. Moreover, it wasn't a day or two for the aristocracy to deal with your family. It was too late when aubury learned the news.”
Fiona took a deep breath and tried to control her emotions. She clenched her fist. The hatred that had disappeared was ignited again, and bits of elemental light appeared around her.
”Calm down.”
With a gentle wave of his hand, the restless elements dissipated. He said, ”with your intelligence, you should be able to understand. When you were a child, why did you survive that tragedy? Why did you live in arlinks later?”
Fiona was silent. Of course, she had noticed that someone had been following her. It was because she noticed that she decided to escape from alinks later.
”How could you have been so safe these years if the people of oberli had not been secretly protecting you?”
Donne patted Fiona on the shoulder. ”Don't blame obery. He's done his best.”
”I see.”
Fiona breathed deeply, ”I won't blame him, and I have no right to blame him.”
”That's right.”
Donne looked at Fiona with great satisfaction: ”even if he was your father's friend and stood in the position of family interests, he didn't have enough reason to help you - but he decided to protect you later. He has done very well.”
After Fiona's mood stabilized, Donne continued, ”in addition, oberli told us about your enemy. He's an aristocrat.”
”Aristocracy...”
”At present, the aristocracy is led by the spade family, which represents the interests of the traditional aristocracy within the Empire and is fighting openly and secretly with the Royal School. The reason why the golden rose family is unlucky is that the golden rose family chose the Royal School, which makes the aristocracy afraid.”
”The spades!”
Fiona clenched her fist again. Finally, in addition to revitalizing the golden rose family, she had a new goal!
”Don't worry, sooner or later, you will have a chance of revenge.”
Donne took Fiona's fist and pressed it down: ”but now, we have to do it step by step.”
”I see.”
Seeing Fiona's mood return to normal, Donne breathed a sigh of relief. Then he took out paper and pen from the side and began to draw. What he drew was the floor structure of the shop.
”This is the floor plan of the shop. Although it used to be your industry, I guess you are still young and may not know, so you'd better have a look.”
Donne explained briefly, then looked at Fiona: ”do you have any ideas about this shop?”
Fiona pondered for a moment and said, ”it's a large area. I don't know how our family used to operate, but it's a good opportunity for our Datang chamber of Commerce... There are four floors, but our goods can't use such a large area at all. This is a problem.”
”Continue.”
”If it's me, we can either expand our business scope and improve the types of goods, or take the high-quality route and concentrate on our own products. As for other places, they can be divided and used as warehouses...”
Donne was dumbfounded. Although Fiona was a genius, she was still unable to jump out of that circle due to the limitations of her vision and experience.
Fiona noticed Donne's smile and said angrily, ”what's the matter?”
