Chapter 1325 So exciting, I almost lost my attendance
After a long communication, Holmes thought she had convinced Paula, and she also expressed her willingness to seriously consider Holmes' proposal and tell the truth in her heart, such as...Durin pushed Bovus downstairs.
This is not actually what Holmes wants Paula to say, because he thinks it is simply impossible, and he will push Bovas down the stairs in the New Party office building unless Dulin is crazy.
You should know that the place where Bovers fell down, anyone staying in the hall could see with his own eyes as soon as he raised his head, or even slightly raised his chin and focused his attention above his sight, so Holmes thought this was not a real process.
Dulin could not have done these things at such a great risk. He might have played some unfriendly roles in it, but he would never push Bovas down with his own hands.
His odds of winning and the power he already possess don't need him to take too much risk to do such a thing. He can express his demands in a more peaceful way and complete the compromise.
As long as someone sees that he is taking the hand, even if Magus recovers immediately and appears in front of people, it will be useless, because the nature of doing so is too bad and terrible.
Holmes didn't believe Dulin would do this, but he thought Paula's statement was very good. He didn't need people to think that this was what really happened, just that it could create enough shock in society.
He did not intend to fight Dulin's long-term power issue, so he only needed a short period of public opinion to make Dulin lose his position and advantage, and then after three or five days the dust settled, everything would not matter.
Paula has not fully agreed, she needs to consider it, and Holmes is not very anxious, he has a week to deal with this issue.
He personally sent Paula back to his room and visited the girl next door. The girl's eyes were red and swollen when she cried. She was very alert and held the child in her arms and stared at Holmes tightly.
The eyes were like defending their children's female wolf who had escaped from the pack, decisive and decisive, but more desperate.
"I have no malice, ma'am..." Holmes spread his hands and his open formal attire exposed most of the places where he could hide weapons. Without weapons, this alone is enough to make people feel at ease in an unfamiliar environment.
Holmes walked towards the girl, and the two bodyguards behind him wanted to keep up, but he was stopped. He was not as weak as he could not even deal with a girl without a mission weapon.
He stood beside Melissa, looked at the child in her arms, touched the child's fleshy little feet, and praised sincerely, "His eyes are very similar to Dulin, deep and bright."
Melissa tightened the thin quilt in her arms and slightly avoided Holmes. When she heard Holmes say that the child was like Dulin, she realized where the disaster had come.
All of this is related to Dulin.
Holmes did not become embarrassed because of the girl's little movements. He naturally walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window. This was on the tower of the manor, at least twenty meters away from the ground. He was not worried that anyone would consider escaping from here.
Just a glance, he withdrew his gaze. The scenery that should have been green was replaced by the planned roads and construction sites, and the construction of the new district was much faster than people imagined.
The expansion of the imperial capital urban circle not only means that the imperial capital can accommodate more people, but also highlights the importance of the city to the empire, and is a rare feast for real estate manufacturers.
It is said that during this period, several fights broke out about the migration of the cemetery. Under each cemetery tombstone, not only the corpses of the ancestors, but also... money!
The price of every inch of land is enough to make many people act recklessly and short-sightedly. In addition, some people have done some bad things here, so the social conflicts in the new district are more concentrated and more obvious than in other places.
Retracting his gaze from outside, Holmes turned his back to the window and looked at Melissa sitting on the edge of the bed, and whispered, "We all know that it is Dulin's child, a child who will never be blessed."
"Have you ever thought about it? Most of the responsibility you have now is the man's responsibility. He did not take on his own responsibility and threw you in a corner. Just pretend you didn't exist. Then he joined hands with another innocent girl to come to people and accept people's praise and blessings. All of this has nothing to do with you."
"You are like a transparent person, you cannot appear in many places, and you cannot talk about many things. Your relatives and friends will be curious about who your child's father is, but you dare not speak the truth and cannot even mention his name."
"You should hate him because of impulse, hormones, and sexual needs. He left lightly after all this, but you have to bear serious consequences and pay the honor and disgrace of life for it."
"I can give you a chance to say his name in front of everyone, so that society can give you the fairest judgment. As long as you cooperate with me, you will get a lot of things."
Holmes thought what he said was enough to incite the girl's heart. He was afraid that the girl would not understand and said something more purely, "At least a quarter of Dulin's property belongs to you and your children, and that would be a wealth you could not imagine. In addition, I will give you a lot of extra money and protect the safety of you, your children and your family."
If Melissa was still a little scared before Holmes said his purpose, then she was no longer afraid because she realized that she was the one who was qualified to decide some key points.
The girl was not stupid, otherwise she would not have been able to be in a place like Royal Academy. She looked down at the child in her arms, thought for a while, and then shook her head.
This action made Holmes frown. He was not used to being rejected one after another. Paula was the same before, and Melissa was the same now. They were both rejecting him. What made him feel even more uncomfortable was that his request for these two women was related to Dulin.
This gave him a sense of frustration. He had lost half before he had faced Dulin directly. He was a little embarrassed and annoyed, but his upbringing allowed him to maintain his demeanor, at least not yelling like those who had never been to school and had been engaged in the lowest level of repetitive manual laborers.
"Can you tell me the reason? I think this is the best choice for you. The man who has hurt you and makes you cry for him in the middle of the night will pay enough. You can choose to forgive him or hurt him. Such an opportunity is not available to everyone." Holmes is really convincing the girl seriously. He twisted his neck, "I don't want to hurt anyone. You can tell me your concerns, maybe I will have a solution."
The girl looked up at him and said softly, "You can't guarantee my safety. No one can survive the person Dulin wants to kill."
Holmes first got cold, then laughed loudly, and he shook his fingers while laughing, "No, ma'am, you don't know much about the lives of us. Let's put it this way, our glamorous life and dignity come from the power in our hands. When we lose power..." He blew a whistle that turned around, "We will be worse than ordinary people, including the powerful Dulin you think."
The girl was unmoved, "You said you could protect us, then you should prove it to me, rather than deceive me with your lies."
Holmes pointed to the girl, nodded and said, "It's reasonable, so how do you hope I will prove it to you?"
The girl made a request that Holmes was a little surprised, "You want Dulin to know that you are dealing with him, but he has no way to deal with you. As long as this is how I can trust you to protect my child and my safety, otherwise I will not speak anything."
Holmes frowned again, he walked a few steps back and forth, then looked at Melissa, "You have given me a difficult problem, ma'am, and I doubt the purpose of your doing this..." He vaguely felt that Melissa's request was not so pure, as if she was deliberately making Dulin realize that some problems had already arisen, and she planned to remind Dulin through her own hands.
But he was not able to be completely sure. No one could determine where an option would drive the wheels, nor did Holmes, but he did not recommend a gamble.
Because he believed that so many things had happened during this period, Du Lin could not know what was going on. Sometimes reminding the enemy would not let his plan fail, but would instead cause the enemy to panic and reveal more flaws.
He thought for a while and nodded cautiously, "I will let you see it when I hear from you, but you'd better remember what you said, Dulin is terrible, and I'm not that gentleman sometimes."
After Holmes left, Melissa looked at the closed door, the girl in her arms rubbed her eyes and moved. She quickly coaxed the child and seemed to care about what would happen before and in the future.
In the evening, the dinner that was supposed to be delivered at 7:30 was not delivered for a long time, just when the two girls were wondering if something had happened, they were taken to the side hall.
There is a dining table, a few chairs, and a large TV in the side hall.
The TV cabinet under the large TV obviously does not match the decoration style around it, and it seems that it has been moved from other places.
Holmes sat at the dining table early, and he stood up very gentlemanly, moved the chairs for the three ladies, asked them to sit down, and then began to introduce each other to them.
After a brief introduction, Holmes smiled and asked the chef to start serving the dishes, while also letting someone turn on the TV.
Paula didn't know what happened during this process. She looked at Melissa and the little girl beside her with a strange look, guessing their relationship with Dulin.
It just so happened that Holmes would talk about these things. Eight o'clock is the prime time. Holmes used his relationship to temporarily participate in a political talk show, and it just so happened to start broadcasting.
He introduced Paula to the reasons why he participated in this talk show, and explained to Melissa that he would provoke Dulin through live broadcasts and ensure that no accidents would happen to him.
This is a fresh approach. As the dining process continues and the TV program goes on, the host finally asked about whether the new party will re-elect the leader. Holmes confirmed it and said that he would also participate in the voting and add to the position of vice chairman.
In the show, he directly stated that he was not afraid of anyone's challenges, and there was a hint of provocation inside and outside.
After dinner, he took Melissa to the room and took this opportunity to emphasize the agreement between them again. When he returned to the side hall, Paula's attitude seemed to have turned to him, which made him very proud.
"I have considered your previous proposal. This is not a clever approach, but Melissa's experience makes me feel...", she smiled sarcastically, "You know, I'm also a woman."
Holmes: What do I know?
He nodded quickly, sighing with the same feeling, "Yes, I understand."
Paula didn't say too much meaningless on this point, and she quickly pulled the topic back, "Mr. Holmes, you let me tell me some lies to frame Mr. Dulin, I agree to your request..."
"This is not a false accusation, it's just an irresponsible guess. After all, you just said what you should say." Holmes corrected her.
"It doesn't matter, whether it's lying or guessing, I will tell the public and journalists as you ask, but you must also abide by the agreement between us. In addition to money, you must also provide sufficient protection to ensure my safety."
"Melissa and I have the same concerns. Safety is more important than money, and you have to understand that."
Holmes had a victory smile on his face, "Of course, of course! I promise, Paula, I promise to ensure your safety and make sure you don't need to consider money for the rest of your life. Believe me, I promise!"
The two talked about some details about "fraudulent" Dulin, including how he pushed Bovas down and what actions he did.
Holmes kept praising Paula, praising her fabricated lies as if they were true, as if she had seen them with her own eyes.
After the discussion, the two left the side hall. At the same time, in the telegraph office, the two monitors stopped monitoring and closed the line.
They used the fastest speed to deliver the recording equipment and tapes to Dulin's manor and sat in the study. Dulin listened to the conversation in the tapes and laughed out with satisfaction.
